Good for you doing Star Trek braver then I am that's for sure. We did catch Top Gun on YT. We will see you tomorrow.

You almost have the intro down, just remember it's a 5 year Mission. I am still not sure if the Marriage or that darn Black Fly bite are the true Horror. Cool choice of Episodes. Loving my Saturdays. As always thank you Kat.

Preaching to the Horse's Mouth

Not just one of my favourite TOS episodes, not just one of my favourite episodes across the Star Trek universe, but just straight up one of my favourite hours of television. Period.

A great reaction of course. The writing on these was so much stronger than in the junk being put out currently all these years later. Notice that they were smart enough not to have sound in space, and to make a comment about the vast size of the known universe, which even in those days was underestimated.

This is one of the all-time classic "space battle" episodes - perhaps THE classic one. The core of the action is a loose interpretation of "The Enemy Below," a book detailing a one-on-one duel between the evenly-matched and brilliant WWII sea captains of a British destroyer and a German submarine; which was later made into a classic movie (with a change from a British destroyer to an American one) with Robert Mitchum and Curd Jurgens. We'd never really seen the Enterprise act as a classic warship before, and here, it's very much a destroyer vs. the Romulan "submarine" - which has a devastating weapon (read: torpedo) but has to risk being visible to fire (surfacing to periscope depth), while the Enterprise phasers seemingly don't ever get in a massive hit, but are slowly rattling the Romulan ship apart (depth charges). Hell, the phasers aren't even the beams they'd quickly become, but rather some kind of explosive energy projectile. And there's a LOT of intelligently written dialogue in this one, too. It's a personal favorite. The Romulans do in fact appear down the road; no spoilers, but one of those episodes is likewise rather highly regarded. They made great adversaries for our intrepid crew.

Who Are These People

Too late now, Horse, Kat has undoubtedly read this. Hopefully she blocks him.

Robert Raszkowski

Oh NO - KAT will turn into a FLY... o-0 Hopefully not! ;) Anyway - remember that Romulan "Captain". You may recognize him in the future in other role... This is a great episode. Vulcans and Romulans are "related" that is why their appearance in similar. Onto next one - KAT-ship flyes by... whoosh...

One of the best episodes not just of this series, but of the entire Trek franchise. You'll see the Romulans again throughout all of Trek... their history as an offshoot of the Vulcan civilization gets explored, so you'll eventually have most of your questions answered. Where the Klingons become known as a boisterous, violent warrior culture with an honor code like the Celts or the Vikings, the Romulans are more of a honor-bound warrior culture styled more in the political aspirations and intrigues of ancient Rome. They make for fascinating adversaries, and you can always expect some kind of nefarious plot when Romulans show up.

BrakYeller

Oh yes, and if anything, the estimates of the insane vastness of the known universe have been scaled *UP* since the 1960s.... really makes you stop and think.

Mark Lenard was such a fine actor. It's always good to see someone with such talent used to his best abilities. As I've said before, you can take a great actor and put them on a bare stage. and with the right words you have great theater.

Max Pujals

... 0ne of the best episodes in the StarTrek series .

Michael Davis

Mark Lenard (the Romulan Commander) went on to play Spock's father in later episodes.
