Honestly, the wigs bother me more than the PD violation.
The mugato costume looked more natural than the giant mutant tribbles the villagers had strapped to their heads.

Agreed. The black wigs looked okay, but the White ones looked like Dolly Parton rejects.
No. Miramanee is Kirk's true loveI always thought Kirk and Odona made a cute couple.
Stick around. We actually talk about that one exhaustively, or at least we have recently.
Kirk acted weirdly in this episode. he basically accepted his fate without a fight. So unlike him.I always thought Kirk and Odona made a cute couple.
I know Odoma distracted him but really he doesn't usually let a pretty face manipulate him.Its mostly the other way around,

Shooting on location at that futuristic 'city' really helped the episode. IIRC, it was actually the former headquarters of TRW, now it is Northrup/Grumman.
It looks like a Klan meeting broke out on Easter Island.
I just have a low tolerance for 'parallel planet' episodes. I mean, what was going to be next...a Girls Gone Wild parallel planet?
Don't give the Discovery writers any ideas!
I watched this one again recently, I actually liked it.
So you give the planet to the Klingons?
My favorite episode of Star Trek.
Good. It's a great episodeStick around. We actually talk about that one exhaustively, or at least we have recently.
Before I entered this thread, I was thinking The Immunity Syndrome. I still think it has the best visual effect in Star Trek, the Aomeba.
It also seems like a lot of Season 3 doesn't get a mention. A lot of it I find really weird, like Lights of Zetar, or the one about over population (I think that's Mark of Gideon, but I get that one and Whom Goes Destroy confused all the time for some reason).

No. I'd drop a herd of Mugatos on the planet and let the Klingons make friends with them.

I don't know how to say this in a delicate way but does that Mugato have a vagina or is the hair just looking kind of suspect? Kind of shocking because I am use to monsters not having sexual organs when I see them on tv and movies.

This one creeped me out as a kid, too. It's the first episode of the series that I can remember watching.
The Naked Now also freaked me out for some reason. I was probably 4 or 5 watching it on my brother's 13 inch b&w Quasar tv.
It's an interesting question. The Federation has a Prime Directive, but other space faring races don't. So what happens when another space faring race lands and spills the beans to a pre-warp culture? I guess all bets are off then for the Federation. There's nothing to hide anymore, so they can just openly work with the culture at that point.
Oh! Use Scotty's Tribble idea! Beam a bunch of Mugatos onto a Klingon warship! Brilliant!
There were two Mugato's seen in the episode and the second one was described as the mate to the first!

Anyone else out there in interspace like Operation : Annihilate?
As a space historian, I did sime research at Space Park in Redondo Beach. I got to eat at the commisary where the pancake monsters clung to the rafters...
