(viewed Monday, March 25th)
"The Paradise Syndrome"Star Trek: The Original Series, S03E03 - "The Paradise Syndrome"
- "It's unbelievable. Growth exactly like that on Earth, half a galaxy away. What are the the odds on such duplication?" Directly proportional to your shooting budget this week, Captain. Why say, we've got these leftover Native American village sets...
- In which Spock gives McCoy a physics lesson using rocks.
- Pretty sure this "medicine chief" dude is Gene Simmons.
- The remastered edition of this episode features the first on-screen use (to my knowledge) of the navigational deflector to project a beam of energy into space--used to try and deflect the asteroid headed for the planet Amerind. This becomes, of course, a mainstay of Treknology in future incarnations of the franchise.
- It took me 20 minutes of this episode to remember that Kirk is supposed to have amnesia. I was just all "Why is he acting like such a toolbag?"
- Whoah. 58-day fast-forward.
