List Only! Last Star Trek Episode You Watched

TOS: This Side of Paradise, streamed on Netflix.

MCCOY: Well, that's the second time man's been thrown out of paradise.
KIRK: No, no, Bones. This time we walked out on our own. Maybe we weren't meant for paradise. Maybe we were meant to fight our way through. Struggle, claw our way up, scratch for every inch of the way. Maybe we can't stroll to the music of the lute. We must march to the sound of drums.
KIRK: Poetry, Captain. Non-regulation.
KIRK: We haven't heard much from you about Omicron Ceti Three, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: I have little to say about it, Captain, except that for the first time in my life I was happy.
 
TOS: Who Mourns for Adonais, streamed on Netflix.

This episode had much in common with The Squire of Gothos , including a pretty girl in a beautiful dress and an alien's "power source" that gets broken by Kirk. Another great Trek example of "divide and conquer":

Team A, on the planet:
Kirk
McCoy
Scotty
Palamas
Chekov (with his Beatle wig)

Team B, onboard Enterprise:
Spock (with his 20th century aircraft bearing and windage computer)
Sulu
Kyle
Uhura (in coveralls with a soldering iron)
Leslie (assisting Sulu with a blinky light computer on a TV tray)
Hadley
Lemli

Scotty takes a beating in this episode, and mostly acts like dopey lovesick third-season Scotty instead of professional rock-solid dependable first-season Scotty. Palamas almost pulls a Marla McGivers and nearly sells out her shipmates to yet another powerful attractive dude, but Kirk's pep-talk brings her back to reality.

Apparently the "picnic table" was also part of Apollo's temple, because it gets melted by Enterprise's phasers along with the rest of the temple. I liked the temple and surrounding decorations, if I were rich I think I would have an exact duplicate built for my backyard.
 
"Get A Life" on BBCA.
Had seen it before but didn't realize Arlene Martel was in it. Didn't know she went to alot of conventions. She still looked good. It's a shame she's gone.
 
The last episode of Star Trek that I watched was
Spectre of the Gun on an old VHS that I recorded a while back. That was around two weeks ago. The tapes are in pretty good condition considering that they are at least ten years old.
I used to record two episodes on one tape using the SP button on the old VCR, putting two episodes on one tape and actually got 48 of the OS recorded. It was a pretty cool hobby that I had and I always looked forward to midnight when the show was on. This is well before DVD's came into play when I just went out and bought most of them. I also purchased quite a few on VHS back in the day. This was very cool because every Saturday night I would sit and watch a few episodes. :techman:

I collected TOS, TNG, and most of DS9 that way, except I'd do it SLP and record 6-9 per tape. Kind of insane thinking about how much time and money I spent doing it, just to buy the DVDs a few years later. Oh well!

She was in an episode of Battlestar Galactica I watched the other day.

I agree. The time and money spent on VHS tapes was crazy.
I have tons of old movies, TV shows and sporting events on VHS stored away and most of these I later bought on disc.
It is kind of a waste...
 
I bought my first VCR in 1987 specifically to record TNG first run. I recorded every episode, two per tape. I even had most of TOS and Voyager recorded. All of it took up several boxes that filled the space under my bed. Twenty years later, when I had to move. I threw them all in the trash. By then I had most everything on DVD. I thought "What a waste of money". The only cool thing was all of the late 80's early 90's TV commercials that got recorded along with the episodes.

It's amazing to think back to a time when buying a commercially produced VHS of a single episode for $13 at Suncoast seemed like a not-terrible deal. Now we can get entire seasons for under $30 on DVD! And they take up 1/25 of the space!

The only cool thing was all of the late 80's early 90's TV commercials that got recorded along with the episodes.

I do wish I still had the commercials sometimes.
