Klingon Behavior in Day of the Dove

[johnnybear]

Actually JB, you can also see her in the crewmens' lounge scenes. She is a cutie, if I can say that about Klingon warrior women. Look! No omeletes on their foreheads!

Well spotted Lord Beard, I hadn't noticed her in the background before! Shame on me!

The Booth for you. Full duration.

....but, but, but Kang says to Kirk "A Klingon would never have surrendered." Then later Kang and his remaining crew surrender without a fight.

You need to take the situation of the line in context to the action on screen:

Kirk surrendered because the Klingons were torturing Chekov. The have them stop said torture, Kirk surrendered.
^^^
Kang was effectively say: "Surrendering to stop the torture of a crewman under your Command? A Klingon Captain would never do such a thing."

(Of course there's the fact Kirk probably realized at that point HOW he could turn the tables on Kang via the Transporter if the Klingons didn't notice he was sending a hidden signal to Mr. Spock.)

 

[Spock's Barber]

^ Nah. I'll stick with my opinion.

I did notice Jay Jones as one of Kang's men on the left of the picture though my Lord!

Yes. He changed sides on us. A red shirt traitor.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Yes. He changed sides on us. A red shirt traitor.

I think the number of the people who move from Starfleet to other forces and back is pretty long.

 

[johnnybear]

Yes. He changed sides on us. A red shirt traitor.

Don't worry, Lord Beard, Spock gets to hurl him down a corridor a few episodes later!

That flying Gideon goon is Jay Jones. He got killed as a red shirt tough guy in The Apple. Got killed again in Catspaw. Got promoted to engineering in Tholian Web. Was a Klingon in Day of the Dove. He sure gets around.

 

[johnnybear]

Plus he was also a concerned part of the crew in And The Children Shall Lead my dear Beard!

I think he was injured doubling for Scotty in "Who Mourns for Adonais?"

 

[johnnybear]

I wouldn't be surprised! Those energy bolts that Apollo threw at him probably packed a punch!

A missed opportunity for explaining Scotty's missing finger

But the character of Mr.Scott wasn't missing a finger! The actor, James Doohan sadly was but not his alter ego. They proved that by how many times they either hid his hand or got a hand-stand-in! (pardon me!)

[Mytran]

Then something seriously bad must have happened to Mr Scott just prior to Star Trek 5!

Seriously though, there's also various brief moments in TOS where you can see Doohan's missing finger

 

[johnnybear]

Yes, I've seen a few of the clips although I never noticed all those years ago myself, Mytran!

Memory Alpha says he was also a gangster in A Piece of the Action and a Troglyte in Cloud Minders.

 

[johnnybear]

He was Mirt, Kalo's companion at the beginning of A Piece of The Action but he got hit in the attack by Krako's boys!
