I LOVED this wild epi! WEEE!

I am so sorry but there seems to have been an OBS/My computer issue where my sound cuts out! Even with my computer back up mic it still did it! I am so sorry for that! I updated OBS before so not sure what happened as I went live a couple hrs after I watched this episode and had no issues! SO... I think I'll do another update and I am ordering a new mic! Cause now I am paranoid about my recent sound malfunctions... not impressed!

BUT I thought this was a great epi and got to learn a lot more about SPOCK! The Vulcan ritual is intense!

thanks for watching with me!!

Sometimes you just gotta scratch that itch!!!

Well of course I'll watch Star Trek with you (while I should be doing something else!) :D That's a no-brainer! (I don't know who the actress is who plays the Head Vulcan but she's so great in this episode. (just looked her up: Celia Lovsky, known chiefly for this and a Twilight Zone. She has major gravitas!)

Toc

PS: Hope you had a great audition!!!

This was a fun one, Ames!! Certainly a side of Spock we've never seen before!! LOL. Also a great way to get some insight into the ancient traditions and culture of Vulcan. That T'Pau was not to be messed with!! Great reaction!! Two more episodes to go before the movies!

Toc

That was a blast! Two more episodes? Let me see if I can guess.......Journey To Babel HAS to be one of them. Am I wrong? Im going to guess......Journey To Babel and......oh, Trouble With Tribbles. How close am I, John? :D (PS: Hey, Ames has got the Vulcan hand sign in an emoji! How she do dat?! :D)

Hahaha, nice operatic outro!! Super fun episode Like Tic Toc mentioned, T'Pau is the star of this one. According to wiki she was the first wife (and lifelong friend) of Peter Lorre from Casablanca! Can you imagine having them over for coffee and discussing the neighborhood and the weather? What a surreal conversation that would be!!

Ames, that was another great reaction to a classic Star Trek episode. Thursdays with you watching Star Trek is appointment television for me. However, I am sad if this is the last before you watch the films. I don't know what other episodes are on your list, but perhaps you can watch "Journey to Babel" before you stop. It is another episode featuring Spock; of course, it is one of the best. Thank you, and live long and prosper.

Theodore Sturgeon, the writer for this episode, was probably the best short-fiction writer in SFF of the 1950s. His command of language was unparalleled (he sometimes write in "metric prose"), and you could read his stories a dozen times and still find new layers. He wrote one other Trek episode ("Shore Leave"), which has multiple directions and implications. As for the trio: it is sometimes said that Spock and McCoy represent the different parts of Kirk's mind. They allow us to see the internal struggles and decision-making process without having to get a voice-over or flashback. Spock & McCoy simply argue, and this way we get to see what Kirk is thinking.
