Japan sends a low budget #Nomad to battle the monster. #StarTrek #TheChangeling #STTOS #TheWarOfTheGargantuas
csJust noticed this #STTOS blooper for the first time in “The Naked Time.” I pointed it out to a coworker in the snack room. I had to run it back three times before she noticed it even as I was pointing it out. Funny how when you’re concentrating on the scene, you can miss it.
Spoilers ahead!
So, #SpocksBrain. Yeah, the episode gets a lot of flak, though it's not entirely bad. But what occurred to me with this recent re-watching: our heroes have to guess to which of 3 planets the antagonist has gone, before #MrSpock dies. But it would've been easy for them to zip by all 3 planets and beam down away teams to search simultaneously.
Of course there's only so much one can do in a 60-minute episode, especially with a reduced budget. I'm just saying!
Just once on the original #StarTrek when they beam down to a planet that's "just like Earth", I wish the planet looked like anything besides a tree filled park in America or a leftover set on the Universal backlot. Why couldn't the planet look like metropolitan Tokyo? A fishing village? A vast sandy desert? A landscape filled with windmills? A remote island in the Arctic? #STTOS 😂😂😂

We continue to be unimpressed with #StarTrek #Enterprise's *writing*.
I've loved the set design from the beginning. The delicate balance between having to look like a pre-cursor to a #tv show from the 60s while not looking cheesy can't have been easy. They not only did it, they make #design references to #STTOS sets. (I can't say enough about this. I made us pause and appreciate Kirk's quarters' desk vs Archer's.)
I complained previously about T'Pol's wooden acting. She seems to be growing into it. Now she makes little glances and eyebrow movements rather than stiffly staring.
The other characters are mostly ciphers ("secretly likes pineapple" is not a personality).
Archer is tortured by...nothing as far as I can tell.
Tucker could be neat if his accent and character didn't reinforce the "Star Trek for rednecks" vibe that the atrocious theme song creates.
BLOG: how long would it have taken the #DoomsdayMachine 🎉 from #StarTrek to consume an Earth-sized planet? 🤔
The Doomsday Machine (Star Trek)
In the <i>Star Trek</i> original series episode “The Doomsday Machine”, the Enterprise and her crew encounter a giant robot that has destroyed the planets in several solar systems, and severely damaged another starship, the Constellation. Captain Kirk theorizes the machine is a “do
I wondered if #TheDoomsdayMachine ever thought some planets tasted better than others? #StarTrek #STTOS #StonedThoughts
Does anyone else feel this way? For all its emphasis on diversity, #StarTrek #STTOS seemed remarkably racist when it came to #Spock, with disparaging remarks about his pointed ears, green blood, etc. Nobody would've made remarks about Uhura's or Sulu's physical features, but somewhere it was okay to do it to Spock.
