TOS S01E05, S01E06



All of the Trek that I watched today:

Star Trek: The Original Series S01E05: "The Naked Time"
Star Trek: The Original Series S01E06: "The Enemy Within"

Lessons Learned, Questions Asked:
  • When you go on an away mission that requires the use of awesome 23rd Century bubble-wrap hazmat suits?  Yeah, don't take your glove off and scratch your noise, numbnuts.  'Cause that's how the whole ship gets space cooties and we end up with  a shirtless, swashbuckling Sulu. 
  • Did the Enterprise really have a bowling alley? 
  • I totally need a fluffy dog with a unicorn horn, antennae and a spiky tail. 
  • I know the real reason is that he's not from the Mirror Universe, but I still think Evil Kirk should have gotten a goatee. 
  • Apparently they hadn't yet established/decided that the ship would have shuttlecraft as of the writing of "The Enemy Within".  In that episode, several of the crew--including Mr. Sulu--are trapped on a planet with a rapidly dropping temperature because of the transporter malfunction that creates Evil Kirk (they can't risk transporting them back up to the ship until they identify what caused the duplication of Kirk and fuzzy-hate-dog, and fix it).  They're all like "Hey, we gotta get these guys up here, it's freezing down there!", but no one's all "Well, the transporters are all bollocksed up--but we could just send a shuttlecraft." 
  • I've officially experienced the first "It's dead, Jim".
