This moment from the episode has always cracked me up.

The house in that small town we lived in was rented and didn't have a rooftop antenna. My father wasn't going to pay to install one so we only had the TV antenna. When we moved to Charlotte the TV reception got much better not to mention getting that first color TV just before the third...

One reason why my family was watching The premiere of Star Trek was because my mother kind of liked William Shatner and was curious to see what this new show of his was about. I remember at the time, Shatner was known to be a good up and coming actor. For example, my mother had a high regard for...

Something similar happened to me years later. Somewhere in the '80s, my local PBS station was showing reruns of "The Prisoner" one episode per week, I had not seen the show since its original run in the "60s. I settled down to watch an episode and what I got was some western show with a cowboy...

I very much remember watching The Man Trap in September 1966 on our black and white TV when I was six. I have a vivid memory of the dead crewman with the circles on his face in B and W. I found the rings to be very mysterious and was a little let down when it was revealed to be suckers or...

I saw TOS in its original run. A 19 inch black and white TV in season 1 and 2 and a 19 inch color TV in the third season. One thing that spoiled it was that from October 1966 to January 1968, my family lived in a small town in North Carolina in the middle of nowhere far from any major...

The physical testing lab where I used to work could have kind of an interesting sound environment. By 'physical testing' I mean breaking pieces of plastic in several different ways that could be noisy. The most noisy tests were the impact tests where basically, you're hitting a piece of plastic...

The episode title "For The World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky" has always amused me, it seemed like they set out to make an episode title as long as possible without getting too ridiculous. A long time ago it occured to me a game could be to think up alternate titles of other TOS...

Me too. The tirst time I saw the episode in the early '70s reruns and saw the modern jet, I thought Star Trek had been pre-empted by some other show's episode and I almost changed the channel. But luckily I hung on to see what show it was and then saw the Enterprise in clear blue skies.

Sam: Jimmy, why do you keep telling me to play it again?

"He's the best first officer in the fleet. No, really he truly IS the best first officer in the fleet, cross my heart and hope to die!" Robert

Hanoch was playing a recording of Archer's gazelle speech in Uhura's head. Sulu backed down so easily because he sure as hell didn't want to have to listen to it too. Robert

I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned this one. Uhura screaming when Hanoch in Spock's body is making an example of her. This next one isn't dark in the sense the OP meant but dark in the sense of something unseen and unknown and it's a moment I never forgot when I saw the original...

I'm sure this wasn't Sturgeon's inspiration but the pon farr strikes me as being an adolescent teenage boy's dream. "I just GOT to get some or else I really, really am going to die!" So Bulcan females are obligated to 'put out' if they don't want Vulcan boys to be dropping dead like flies...

Bad starship name! *whacks starship name with rolled up newspaper* Bad, baaad starship name! Robert

USS Hesitant "Captain, you must act immediately if lives are not to be lost!" Robert

"I'm with Starfleet, we don't lie!" Robert

I sure as hell an not one of them but yeah, even or especially today plenty of people are homophobes and puritans. Hell, just the other day, I read in the news about some state legislator who wants to make contraceptives illegal again. Talk about de-evolution. Robert

i have no idea if this is true but could it be the reason ENT didn't have a gay character is that Star Trek was/is considered to be for younger audiences like teenagers? Ever since ST II, I've felt that Star Trek has been aimed at a younger audience. Wesley Crusher seemed to me to be a big...

I couldn't see the video but I did listen to it, interesting. When I was a lab technician, I was put in charge of running and maintaining a robot for a while in a physical testing lab in the late '80s. The robot was just a simple robot arm with shoulder, elbow, wrist and rubber padded grips...
