Well here it is. My favorite episode of TOS. Can’t wait to watch later when I have snacks!

Oh! One more thing! I found very amusing how much Kat reacted to Nimoy’s pronunciation of “sensORs” and then at 39:17 she says “sORry” the same way. 😜

I appreciate your sports analogy. Commodore Decker's level of -- emotion? animation? -- always felt out of sync with the rest of the cast, but there is no denying that the actor's performance affects us emotionally. The first time I saw this episode, I hated that man as much as you did. So, yeah, he might have been performing for the back seats rather than the camera, but he took us where we needed to go.

This episode was inspired by Moby-Dick, a Novel by Herman Melville with Commodore Decker as Captain Ahab and The Planet Killer as the White Whale. Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan was also inspired by Moby Dick with Khan quoting lines directly from the Novel.

Without Uhura there, when the ship gets hit everyone falls in the same direction. That always annoyed me that she has to run across the bridge opposite to everyone else falling down.

Fantastic reaction to a fantastic episode. Yes, they fed the doomsday machine a nuclear bomb, which killed it. This makes me wonder a lot about the people who thought it wasn't important that you ever see Spock, Scotty or even Kirk, and who suggested the series is campy. As always, I strongly suggest you see Wolf in the Fold and Specter of the Gun for important good episodes, and that you react to the movie Oddity.

The last time I saw Kat hate somebody on screen that much it was the Devil's Rejects.

Hate to break it to you, but almost everyone on Star Trek pronounces it "sensORS.". I think they were all taking their lead from Spock... who would dare challenge him on the pronunciation of any word? :D The little "crackers" that Commodore Decker was fiddling with are 'data tapes.' There's a long-standing urban legend that they inspired the design of the 3.5" floppy disk, given that they serve the same function (and often came in similar colors). Think of them as really chunky USB thumb drives... except in real life they were just painted slices of wood. The actor fiddled with them as an homage to a similar 'insane captain' character played by Humphrey Bogart in "The Caine Mutiny." It's also worth mentioning that Commodore Decker's actor, William Windom, thought that the show and this episode in particular was campy and silly, so he intentionally overplayed the character, and I guess no one on set wanted to try and talk him out of it. The worst of it are his solo scenes in the shuttlecraft, so I guess the director was okay with him getting away with it. Windom did come to regret the decision in later years, as the episode came to be one of the favorites of the series, saying that he should've taken the role more seriously. Fun Fact: the giant spiky tool Scotty pulls out of the bin to help bring the Constellation's engines back on line (around the 24:30 mark) is an actual real life tool; it's a type of radiation meter.

I prefer the original series artwork. This digital remaster is too noticeable.

Kat I double checked and actor who played the Commodore, William Windom, was in fact a stage actor. You called it.

RJ Inkglider

Yeah I was really disappointed by what they did to this series. The original artwork looked kind of cheesy but that has its own charm. It's like what Lucas did to the original Star Wars. CGI has no soul.

RJ Inkglider

Kat was right; the actor was from a long stage career. William Windom.

Robert Raszkowski

Sensors overload... episode. :D Onto the next. KAT-ship flies by.

Kat's recitation of the opening monologue reminded me of a line from Cleveland Amory's review of Star Trek in TV Guide back in the 1960's: given the phrase "to boldly go," Amory wrote that they not only split the infinite, they split the infinitive!

Georgius Agricola

Star Trek: TOS was recorded on photographic film, not magnetic tape, which gave us amazing visuals when the Blu-Ray discs came out. (As an aside, check out the Blu-Ray of the Wizard of Oz. These discs were created from the film stock that was actually in the cameras when the movie was made!)

I just read a stat that Star Trek is 700 hours long and will take 30 days to complete, the longest of any series.
