For me this Episode had one of many classic Lines. You have got to love Mr. Spock moment of pure delight when he burst out with "JIM''. Please get to feeling better.

Nurse Chappel is being played by Majel Barret who also played Number One, Captain Pike’s first officer seen in The Menagerie. She also goes on to play a recurring character on TNG and Deep Space 9 as well as providing the voice of the computer through most of the Star Trek series and films. She is also the wife of Gene Roddenberry.

At the ceremony You saw the those "helmets". And the customs were somewhat familiar - maybe? Like carying the "official"? Romulans - they also wore the same type of helmets. There are many ties between Vulcans and Romulans. Map paintings - if done correctly, they can achive great effects. This was one of those examples. Pavel Chekov - my fav character of this seriers. He gets more prominent role in the movies. To the next one - KAT-ship flies by.

The vocal that opens the RE-MASTERED season two is bitter-sweet for me; it's sung by the talented Elin Carlson — and she does a beautiful job! But the original was sung by Loulie Jean Norman. And when they remastered the audio I guess it was decided that Norman's 1960s recording couldn't be enhanced. So when they re-recorded the main title, they brought in Carlson to redo the vocal. I can't remember if enabling the original audio is an option on the remastered discs (mine are in storage back in LA), maybe someone here knows. EDIT: The other main title difference is, of course, the visuals! Season two adds a shrinking of "Star Trek" to add a "by Gene Roddenberry." Then DeForest Kelley gets promoted to main title billing, right after Leonard Nimoy. Well-deserved!

This is a great example of why polls are often not a good idea. This is great and important episode, and you did a great job. People who said this wasn’t important were clueless. I also can’t believe this wasn’t voted on, since this is one of the top 4 important and good episodes, especially since people voted in the one silly pointless episode about tribbles.

Kat, no one ever says, “Beem me up Scottie” in the whole series

Every one regrets when only watching a few… you will want to watch them all.

Who Are These People

Imagine if we lived in a world where Kat could see Majel in TNG without having had it spoiled.

she also plays a role in the 1973 Westworld film! a very well-dressed role :)

i think you are watching the Remastered versions, which were released on DVD about 20 years ago, and updated the quality of film to HD but also chose to re-do some VFX shots with modern techniques, and so- the shot you commented on I think is an updated effect, you can find online side-by-side comparisons of the FX and the original-effect episodes are still available on the box-sets and most streaming platforms

Who Are These People

This was semi-autobiographical for Gene Roddenberry, who was a serial adulterer who was described as "playing around a lot" and had affairs with at least two actresses who he would later cast in Star Trek, then marrying one of them after divorcing the mother of his two children. Apparently he also had an uncontrollable libido and ran amok.

all THAT being said, i'll recommend you watch Forbidden Planet (1956) and see a classic movie, the grandparent of sci-fi, that influenced TV shows directly over the next ten years, notably, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, and Star Trek. Destination Moon is the other !950s film that influenced Trek visually and is a fun campy watch. love the classics!!

seven tessipates

it was the pinnicle of effects for the day and ... holds up for a seventy-year old movie

i love the Romulo-Vulcan helmets, which are a cost-saving measure to save on ears (which were not easy to mass-produce in the 1960s)

seven tessipates

oh! and look up The Monkees, when you next see "Chekhov's lady wig" ahahaha it was a cultural moment of the 60s, of course of course

Who Are These People

Some of those Vulcan exteriors that you were asking "How did they do that?" are CGI added by Paramount studios, replacing the original artwork.

Chekhov was wearing a Beatles style wig to attract young viewers.

Yep, salmon do indeed return to where they were born in order to spawn. They swim upstream to do it! It's called 'natal homing' sea turtles also return to their birthplace and puffin do it too :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPf4qtCDRtE

Like "The City on the Edge of Forever," this episode was written by a famous science-fiction writer, although in this case it was Theodore Sturgeon. What a challenge, to construct a whole backstory for a main character and his race. And what a gift this episode was for Nimoy as an actor! A big, juicy part that he could sink his teeth into, running the gamut of emotions. He must have been tickled to read it. And let's not forget composer Gerald Fried's score for this episode. Possibly the best of any one in the series. Fried also did some excellent film work (see, "I Bury the Living" (1958)), echoes of which can be heard in his Star Trek scores sometimes.

Jonathan Kardell

Your reaction when seeing Spock gazing at a picture of 7 year old T'Pring was absolutely priceless!!!! I have to admit, when seeing that back in the Jurassic Period when it first aired, I had a similar emotion.... Greatly relieved when it was explained. :)

Daniel Turbyfill

Mentioning that an actor is in something is a spoiler?

IIRC, the original Loulie Jean Norman recordings were so badly degraded that they could not be remastered effectively, much to the remastering team's discontent, at which point Carlson was brought in to mimic Norman's vocals. Honestly, while Carlson does a very good job, the original vocals are still very much missed.

BrakYeller

Forbidden Planet is definitely worth a watch! Still holds up, and you can see the seeds that would go on to influence SO MANY different sci-fi shows, particularly Star Trek.

Original Star Trek was cancelled at the end of Season 2, but was renewed after a *very* intense fan-driven campaign to save it.  It was cancelled again (this time without a reprieve, despite an equally intense campaign to save it) toward the end of Season 3.  Declining ratings were given as the reason, but it should be pointed out that ratings were not calculated in quite the same detail in the 1960s as they would be going forward. Demographics didn't play quite as much a part as they would later in interpreting ratings... had they done so in the 1960s, we probably would've seen a few more seasons of TOS because it had very strong ratings in certain key demographics that would later become far more important.  The good news was that with the fans making sure that Season 3 happened, there were just enough episodes that the show could be syndicated for re-runs, which is where it finally found a larger audience.  After the success of Star Wars, Paramount was casting about for any equivalent sci-fi property that they could bring to the big screen to compete, decided that Star Trek should get the big-budget Star Wars treatment, and the rest was history. Chekov (and his wig) was brought on for two reasons, one real and one rumored.  It was heavily rumored that Soviet Russian state media had written a few articles disparaging Star Trek; Russia was leading in the Space Race at the time, and they expressed disdain that somehow the futuristic space show had no Russians in it, when Russians were clearly the leader in space stuff.  The youthful Chekov is added as a pastiche of Russians, since as a character he's often boastful (and absolutely incorrect) about stuff having to do with Russian pride.  The reality, though, is that Gene Roddenberry both wanted to court the youth demographic (who were huge into the Monkees at the time) and slyly represent a Russian presence in his optimistic vision of the future, showing that the humanity of his future had evolved beyond the Cold War.  Again, the fact that the Russian happened to greatly resemble Monkee Davy Jones, and was goofy in his Russian-ness, helped him get that past the censors and the network.  (Don't worry, the wig goes away once Walter Koenig's hair grows out.) This episode always trips me out a little bit, because the gentleman who plays Stonn (T'Pring's side-Vulcan) looks so much like my little brother that it's disturbing.  The actor was also one of the Romulans in the prior episode Balance of Terror. Also I'm really glad you like that music...  that fight theme is iconic, so much so that it's frequently parodied as "Star Trek's Fight Music".

Who Are These People

We're here to watch Kat react. Shall we see if Kat recognizes Majel when she starts watching TNG? Too late, you already told her what to look for. I don't want to come here and read you explain to Kat what she needs to see, I want to watch Kat react. Don't spoil.

The 70s band T'Pau (China In Your Hand) was named after the Vulcan woman who officiated at Spock's wedding.
