How so?
Shame the Kazinti don’t pop up elsewhere. Telepathic giant cats would be great foes. 
They’re from Larry Niven’s Known Space series–the script was adapted from a short story of his. (If you’ve played Traveller, Kzinti were snuck in as the “Aslan.”)
Note all the pink. Production Designer was color-blind (and didn’t have the sense to get second opinions.)
I recall the term “chuff-captain”. Strange what sticks with you…
I like Niven. I’ll have to check it out.

What’s “Traveller”?

I wonder why no one else noticed beforehand.
That was half the fun of getting these DVDs for me. “Oh yeah! I remember that!”
Kinda sad when remembering shit is entertainment…
“Remember to zigzag.”
…and then they all run in a straight line. 
The story is called “The Soft Weapon” if you want to find that specific one.

Role Playing Game from the eighties. The premier SF RPG of the time. (Still around in a somewhat bastardized version.)

I have to wonder about that, too.
Yeah, I was just thinking that the Slaver gadget seemed more and more familiar as I was watching.

Heh.
Total conversion of matter to energy is unknown to the Federation?
Isn’t that how a matter/antimatter reaction works? You know, the whole basis of their warp technology? :rolleyes:
I love the backhanded feminism in this one. “Fool! Human females are sentient!”
To be fair, it didn’t involve bringing an antimatter mountain into the equation.
I’ll have to check that out. Thanks.

I was never all that into RPGs. D&D is the only thing I knew about back then.
The Eye of the Beholder is starting now.
“Backhanded feminism” LOL
True. Good point.
bwhahaha! The creature fell on McCoy! Look at his little legs going!
The other planet is called “Cannabis”? :eek:
In retrospect, this seems like a bit of a reworking of “The Cage/Menagarie”
The flying dragons make another appearance.
Elephant slugs?
Gotta scoot. Seeya.
I can see that.
Later, Pike.
Thanks for joining me, if ever so briefly.
