Episode ident request.

I'm looking for the episode of orignal Trek. I think i'ts not 'menagerie 1 or 2' although it's similar. There is a scene where Kirk (i think) is advancing towards the home of those big brained psychics and they project a wall of fire in his mind. He is burning up but Spock tells him it's not real and I think it vanquishes it by controlling his own thoughts.

Anyone know what episode this is?

Empath

I think that's a Battlestar Galactica, with that robot dog.

where no turnabout tribble returns to the mirrior mirrior with an obsession for spocks ultimate immunity?

Sounds like the Gem episode "The Empath." The alien antagonists the Vians use a telepathic energy projector to put up obstacles both real and imaginary.

 

[A beaker full of death]

I think it was Beneath the Planet of the Apes.

The one with the radiation-scarred telepathic humans? UGH. A lot of people say the later APES sequels and spinoffs were suckier and worse, but you can't beat the second APES movie for sheer, cheesy disappointment. Radiation-mutated humans worshipping a cobalt-laced hydrogen bomb...we don't see Taylor(Charlton Heston)much...and even Roddy McDowall didn't come back to reprise his role of Cornelius.

^ We did get James Gregory as General Ursus. That has to count for something.

Yep! Especially when he yells out, "The only good human is a DEAD HUMAN!" I actually liked Beneath, as it was one of the odder installments in the whole series. Sure, worshipping the cobalt bomb was a clumsy critique of our fascination with nuclear weapons, but I liked it. Least favorite was the fifth, Battle. Back on topic, I do kind of like the ST ep Empath. I had a friend who loved to say the line, "We are Vians. Do not interfere!" Why, I don't know! -- RR

imaginary obstacles are always easier than real ones

In one of the early Star Trek comics by Gold Key, which were odd to say the least, Kirk went undercover to spy on a pack of space pirates.

His idea of a perfect disguise? An afro wig.

Wow! You just can't make this stuff up! Excellent! I just laughed out loud at some of the panels, and the cover of that old comic is a hoot, too! -- RR

The one I still remember from when I was a kid is the first issue.

The crew beam down to a planet covered in violent trees and plants. One crewman is even turned into a tree.

After they barely escape the surface, Spock comes up with the perfect solution: the ship drops below the atmosphere and phasers the entire planet clean of all vegetation.

...you're batshit nuts.

Huh? how'd you know my bat has the annoying habit of pooping acorns? Silly lil' begger just doesn't realize he can't digest those things!

Sincerely,

I smell a Stupid Pet Tricks segment on Letterman!

No. Wait. That's your bat's acorn poo.

Ewwwwww. Is it SUPPOSED to be green with red blood spots?!

I downloaded 'The Empath' and after a quick scan through it I didn't see the scene where Kirk has to edure the projected image of being in a fire and learn to ignore it.
Any other ideas?

 

[Therin of Andor]

A scene with extra/stuntman Dennis Madalone as a crewman being urged by Captain Picard to ignore illusionary flames was from "Where No One Has Gone Before", an early episode of "The Next Generation", and was loosely based on Diane Duane's TOS novel, "The Wounded Sky" in which the Enterprise is testing a new drive.

Captain Pike is seen briefly suffering the pain of illusionary flames (of Hell) "from a fable you once heard in childhood", according to the Talosians. ("The Cage"/"The Menagerie").

 

[Poita]

Thank's for the info Therin.

It' odd, maybe my memories are getting mixed up. I"m downloading the STNG episode, perhaps it's that one I was thinking of.
I saw the Pike scene but there was no one urging him to overcome it.
