Watching The Naked Time

Just watching The Naked Time at the moment.

An excellent episode, for me, the only dull part is Spock's long monologue, but even that offers good glimpses into his character.

Security on the Enterprise isn't too tight though. Spock orders security to make sure Riley gets to sickbay, and he's in there for a good couple of minutes and yet no-one arrives to check he is there.

I also find Sulu's sneaking off the bridge a tad unrealistic, considering how loudly he and Riley are speaking, and given Spock's fantastic hearing! I do love the shot of Riley idly pushing buttons, trying to stay in the background when Spock rushes over when he notices Sulu's absence!

Rand at the Helm is another high-point - a bit odd though - surely there are many more non-intoxicated qualified officers aboard?

The inner geek in me loves that we see our one and only sight of the Lieutenant J.G. braid in this episode.

Really? I think that's the best part of the episode!

I think it's just because I've seen this episode so many times. It was one the first VHS my dad bought me when I was 6/7. And I only owned a handful of the tapes for years until I bought the TOS-R DVDs! So it got watched many, many times!

My gosh i love this episode. Definately one of my favourites...tho it's a very long list.
With each viewing i grow increasingly disapointed that - besides his only other appearance in 'The Conscience Of The King'- Riley was never brought back to the show.
In my opinion both his performances made him worthy of a regular position.

"Cooome take me home again Kathlene...One...mooore...time!" haha
God i love that kid.

I always liked this episode since it showed the "looser" side of the characters -- like they were tipsy (not the opposite side like in The Enemy Within).

I wish that Riley was in more episodes, too!

And it gives us one of Uhura's best lines.
