Mr. Spock At His Most Pointlessly Pedantic (Star Trek: "That Which Survives", 1969)

 

Star Trek's writers often enjoyed having a little fun with Spock's character...

...usually by contrasting his precise, stoic manner with that of his emotional human crewmates.

But in this episode, it's possible that they went just a tad overboard.

The Best Scene In "Star Trek" History? ("The Doomsday Machine", 1967) (video)

Captain Kirk (William Shatner) is aboard the wrecked starship USS Constellation...

...and has aimed it directly into the maw of a renegade war machine headed for Earth.

The ship's is rigged to explode with a 30-second delay, but the transporter is acting up...
...making this an extremely perilous course of action for Kirk.

Sol Kaplan's excellent musical score is one of the best ever written for television.

The SPFX in this episode have since been updated with CGI...
...but many Trek fans much prefer these original effects.

Some shots use a model kit replica of the Enterprise.
Dramatic license is used in the countdown to show simultaneous events.

Many Star Trek fans regard this as the series' best episode ever.

For half-breed twins Johnny Moon and Notah (William Shatner)...

...mortal enemies in a clash of good against evil...

...the time has come for a duel to the death.



Which Shatner will win?

If one William Shatner is good...

...then two William Shatners is great!

And we were treated to this at least five different times:

Something Not Quite Right About "STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE" (1979) (video)

A standing joke in "Star Trek" has always been Dr. McCoy's fear...

...of getting his "molecules scrambled" in the transporter.

The gag is revisited in "The Motion Picture"...

...even though, mere hours before...

...two people got their molecules scrambled permanently.

All things considered, we're with Bones on this one.

 Here's another Star Trek "Foolie" with a humorous "what if." Or something like that.

I've always thought "Star Trek III: The Search For Spock" would be much better if it had a "CHiPs" ending. As, of course,  would many others things as well.

Sadly, my many letters to Paramount Pictures suggesting this have thus far fallen upon deaf ears. But now, thanks to the magic of "what if", we can enjoy that very thing right now!

My Favorite Scene From My Favorite Episode Of "Star Trek: The Next Generation"

 

"Where Silence Has Lease" (S2/E2) was written by Gene Roddenberry and "Wrath of Khan" co-writer Jack B. Sowards.

It's one of Star Trek: The Next Generation's darkest and most suspenseful episodes.

This is due in large part to a superb score by Ron Jones...

...and one of the series' most nail-biting countdown endings.

The assembled crew of the Enterprise witness the terrible sight...

To make matters worse, Admiral Kirk's order to turn off the viewer goes unheeded...

...leading to several moments of awkward silence...

...followed by a surprise accidental transmission.

"KHAAAAAAN!!!: A Star Trek Foolie" (From "Wrath Of Khan", 1982) (video)

We all remember the scene where Kirk screams "KHAAAAAAN!!!"

But there's a special extended version that nobody knows about.

Mainly because we just made it up.

And now, here it is for Star Trek fans everywhere to cherish.

Johnny Moon (Shatner) confronts his evil brother Notah (also Shatner).

Shatner is really in his acting element here.

The stilted dialogue is rife with colorful and oddly-worded putdowns.

We know that things just aren't going to end well between these two.
