Funniest Moment, But Wait....

[locutus101]

Actually, Nimoy says it the same way the one time he uses the term. Both he and Shatner say "Met-rones" but Vic Perrin pronounces it "Met-ron." Outnumbered. Perrin screwed it up for my money.

I doubt the Metrons will take exception to that. They're rather cool in that area.

Spock shouting, "THE WOMEN!"

Spock shouting, "THE WOMEN!"

And grinning like a fool. (someone already mentioned that)

He was a Metron. He ought to know how it was said.

 

[locutus101]

He was a Metron. He ought to know how it was said.

Unless he's a migrant Metron.

Just don't mistake him for the Jack Kirby created character in DC Comics' New Gods.

Jack Kirby created the Metrons?

 

[FormerLurker]

Just one. That was his name. He was very mysterious, and you never knew which side he was on. He dressed in a blue unitard with a hood and rode around in a throne-like floating, teleporting chair.

Sounds like fun, I'd like to have one of those.

Ran into an unintentionally funny moment in The Apple. Mallory, after whispering into his communicator starts running like a lunatic, screaming, "it's over there! I never saw anything like it!!!!" Then, because it's a dingus, he steps on an explosive rock and eats it.

Why was he shouting? Why was he running like an idiot? Because we hadda kill our third of four red-shirts.

Yes sometimes their actions don't make any sense.

 

[JonnyQuest037]

What character or event that appeared in any episode made you laugh, even though the writer or director was dead serious about their creation?

Finally thought of one! Starbase 11 keeps the crippled Captain Pike alone in a room. The door is an old-fashioned one with a doorknob instead of the sliding doors we typically see on Trek. That seems needlessly cruel. Pike can only leave the room if someone comes to get him. I found that really darkly funny when a friend first pointed that out to me.

There's also a moment from later on in "The Menagerie" when Kirk says "Captain Pike is a complete invalid!" with PIke still sitting right there in the room. Geez, Jim, tact much?

Why was he shouting? Why was he running like an idiot? Because we hadda kill our third of four red-shirts.

As far as I'm concerned, that's enough.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Maybe he's tried to escape before?

 

[uniderth]

Unless he's a migrant Metron.

No. He's just an illegal alien.

 

[locutus101]

No. He's just an illegal alien.

Being an illegal alien in outer space is more grandiose though.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

I don't know if it was intended to be serious, but Spock's line when McCoy reconnects his speech center. "Ah, ah, mmm. That's better." Was McCoy giving Spock a scalp massage back there?

"A little to the left, Doctor."

 

[Spock's Barber]

In Friday's Child, I just can't get enough of the Capellans' costumes and the sound effects of them throwing their weapons. They look like they're colorful ninjas wearing feather boas who throw weapons designed to make silly whistling noises.

Teletubbies!!!

 

[UnknownSample]

With scuba masks for hats.

 

[soornge]

the scene in the one with the virus that makes everyone intoxicated when they try to guve leanord nimoy an emotional soliquoy not only because he fails but the others actors reaction to it is kind of dissmissive of the whole thing

 

[soornge]

You are right on the face of it, it's just that the way he says it makes it sound like this is some common pastime of humanity (or people, anyway), as opposed to more the purview of tragic noble sufferers. And why must we live in our self-made purgatories? What if we want out and decide to self-destroy some? It just sounds so...overblown to me now.

Oh oh oh! More mind-meld hijinks! Spock talking with the sorta Nomad/cartoonish robot-computer voice in the Changeling. It is to cringe (but funny). Those wacky Vulcans! I'm thinking there's some sort of advanced mind-meld class back on Vulcan, now disciples of no fun ever, when mind melding, remember, a dramatic voice covers up a lot of obvious, and repeat, repeat, repeat...now Snoopek what have I told you about using your own voice? How are we supposed to maintain the proper alien respect for Vulcan mystery and awe and solemnity etc and ad nauseam... now I want you all to go home and practice your Another Mind Is Temporarily in Control postures 2 to 7.

what i love is the multiple speeds of the mind melds :how like one moment it takes like five hours : my mind to your mind ... candles.. incense .... meditation and other times its like look at my hand ban! you been melded
