Hi all! First post to the Reddit.

I've been a TOS fan since the 60's, though I was to young to watch it in prime time. My first episode was on a Saturday afternoon after Bandstand ended, and it was "The Man Trap'

Since I've retired I've been working on making digital dioramas of shows and cartoons I gre up with, and my 100th is for Trek.

The bridge in the scene is an old 3D warehouse model, and the crew from modder Laz Rojas for Raven's Elite Force game

I've got models for Dehner and Gary Mitchell from "Where No Man has Gone Before", and Lt M'ress from TAS, and might be able to do one for Arex, so I might do some variants.

It looks like I'm only allowed one picture for the post, so here's an angled view of everyone on duty. I had more pics I wanted to post of different angles and close ups, but this is a good view.

Gary was kirks best friend probably an even better friend than Spock by where no man has gone before time period.

Starfleet General Order 7 is really effing racist. They refer to him as “Half-Vulcan Science Officer Spock” not once, but twice.

Earlier this week (last week?) YouTube suggested a video with Brent Spiner on To Tell the Truth, pretending to be someone else. (Mine was posted at least a half hour before the other.)

Today, it suggested Gene Roddenberry and two pretenders.

Why do I think that Rita Moreno was friends with Lucy, so should have been the one who would have actually met him?

Do you agree that making the instruments of war unbearable hot was the best solution?

In Honor of National Ice Cream Day (US)

RILEY [OC]: You rang, sir?
KIRK: Who's this?

[Engineering]

RILEY: This is Captain Kevin Thomas Riley of the starship Enterprise.

[Bridge]

RILEY [OC]: And who is this?
KIRK: This is Captain Kirk. Get out of the engine room, navigator. Where's Mister Scott?
RILEY [OC]: I've relieved Mister Scott of his duties. Now, attention, cooks. This is your captain speaking. I would like double portions of ice cream for the entire crew.

...

SPOCK: Status reports, all sections.
UHURA: Mister Spock, a fight in the aft wardroom. Security reports incidents among the crewmen are increasing.
SPOCK: Go to Alert Baker two. Seal off main sections.
UHURA: All decks, alert system B two. Repeat, go to alert condition Baker two. Seal off all main sections. Stand by.
SPOCK: We're going to seal off, Captain, if we can minimize the spread of whatever this is.
KIRK: Continue the alert, Lieutenant.
UHURA: I can't, sir. He's cut off the alert channels.

RILEY: Lieutenant Uhura and you inter...

RILEY [OC]: ..rupted my song. I'm sorry, but there'll be no ice cream for you tonight.

In Return to Tomorrow, Kirk allows Spock to die by destroying the receptacle holding his consciousness. It later turns out Spock is alive and well and his consciousness was elsewhere, but at this point in the story, for all he knows he has killed Spock permanently. It is therefore surprising that he treats this with relatively little weight and is fairly unbothered about it.

This episode contains telepathic beings who influence certain characters to behave in unusual ways, and this may seem like an easy explanation for this moment but at the end of the story it is made explicitly clear how each character (McCoy and Nurse Chapel namely) was influenced and in what way. It is not mentioned that Kirk was being influenced by any of the telepathic characters.

Did Kirk really almost kill Spock and not really care or was he being influenced to do this without it being explicitly mentioned?

· City on the Edge of Forever has a very nostalgic, Hitchcockian look and vibe.

· Spectre of the Gun uses a sparse set, bold colors, light and shadow to create a surrealistic landscape and feeling that also evokes the dramatic works of some early western US artists.

· The Empath was mostly shot in a “black box theater” setting, creating a surrealistic, stark and foreboding environment, fitting for the episode's dark content.

It can be argued that Spectre and Empath were trying to stay on budget (City, on the other hand totally blew its budget) but necessity is the mother of invention. For me, all three are Trek treasures.

Did I miss any other eps that visually rose above the ordinary, artistically?

Is there a canon explanation why Trelane happened to look like Kirk's only Klingon friend Koloth?

Should have taken him to sick Bay
