Star Trek 1x09 Balance of Terror

stipulated in his contract–with the toupee & girdle (sorry, talos)

Might need to back a trip to the 7-Eleven for coffe in the am. (No Dunkin Donuts down here)

The horror. The horror.

Trek red line?

The camera work in this is so tight. So many closeups. I wonder if as the episode goes on we’ll see more sweat on the crew.

Yeah like I didn’t know that’s gonna happen.

Crewman #34 on deck 14 “Oh frak. Captain says we can’t make any misakes today. That sucks.”

Spock sure knows how to alienate the junior officers, doesn’t he? Bailey, Tormolen, Stiles…

Bride’s on weapons? Oh noes! That doesn’t seem like a good idea.

Until Chekov shows up and Spock is charmed by his Beatles hair-do

He’s a bigot. Learned it from his father. frakkin Vulcans

Te he he. LOL.

By this episode Nimoy has owned Spock. No more yelling on the bridge. Spock is kewl, yo!

True. He’s become the Spock we know and love.

Another thing I like about this episode is that the crew works together and offer suggestions. Kirk doesn’t have all the answers.

Oh snap! Spock is a Romulan! Quick kill him! Kill him!!

So is Lt. Styles in this ep supposed to be the same person as Captain Styles in Star Trek III Search for Spock?

well, his dad’s a Romulan, at any rate :smiley:

Even if he is incapable of loving us back.

Same putz indeed.

Correction: I thot I read something about that but I was mistaken.

Stiles in this episode
Styles in III

Oo oo. I know. I know. Kirk should dress up as a Romulan and steal the cloaking device.
Meanwhile, Spock can seduce the Romulan Catwoman/Commander as a diversion.
