Modern episode done in TOS years
- Thread starter YJAGG
- Start date
Which is why I put in theTOS had already done "The Naked Time" and had done it far, far better.
Both of which were planned scripts for Phase II.The Child and Devil's Due would work.
I gotta find a better irony emoticon.
Oh my! You just won this topic!
McCoy gets tongue tied trying to explain to Chekov where the salamander babies came from. Definitely a Season 3 episode.
KIRK: I've thought about having children, but I must say I never considered having them with you.
SPOCK: Captain, I'm sorry. I, I don't know what to say, except I don't remember very much about, er, you know...
KIRK: What makes you think it was your idea?
We know you are in there Irwin we just want to talk

A bunch of TNG 3rd season episodes would have worked:
Booby Trap, with Scotty falling for a computer simulation
Who Watches the Watchers
The Hunted, with Spock playing the Troi advocate role
The High Ground, with McCoy being kidnaped by a female terrorist leader

Looking at the J2 it would of worked for Promelian ship in bobby trap or Dirgo's shuttle in Final mission, or the as intended the Captain's Yacht.
I wonder how hard it would of been to rent the set to the J2 or Seaview, imagine a flying shuttle as an aqua shuttle, or the Batcave set for the world is hollow

I would have liked to see "The Measure of a Man" done in TOS, pitting Kirk and Spock against each other in the courtroom.
I misread that at first. I thought you meant Spock would take on Data's role and I was going to counter that being an organic lifeform, the issue would not have even been considered. But then I realized Kirk and Spock would debate the positions Picard and Riker did in the TNG version.
Hmm, we have a problem, however. With his sense of "passion", Kirk would be the better suited to plead the case for equal rights and Spock, known for his logic, would be forced to demonstrate the defendent is just "hardware". But, the recurring theme in the classic series was that machines could never reach the level of "humanity". Yeah, by the time Next Gen' debuted, that view was "flipped" through the presence of Data, but that just wasn't the philosophy at the time the original series was produced.
Some of us are probably thinking, "Okay, let's have Spock defend the robot and Kirk set out to prove the AI is just junk. That better fits their personalities." Ooh, that has problems, too. Having Kirk as the "prosecutor" paints him as something of the "bad guy" and having him lose just wouldn't fly with Shatner having top billing in the series. Plus, you kinda' need a sense of "passion" for the defending counsel, and while Nimoy the actor could have done it, it just wouldn't have fit the character Spock.
Unless, of course, the final resolution demonstrated that robots are NOT people worthy of rights. Kirk as prosecutor wins and Spock with prodding from McCoy must consider intellect without compassion does not equal a "person".
To stay "true" to the characters and actions demonstrated in other episodes involving machine intelligence, you kinda' wind up with the opposite object lesson.
Sincerely,
Bill

^ Maybe as somekind of sequal to Requiem for Methuselah, where Rayna didn't "die." Kirk attemping to establish Rayna's civil rights in a Federation (not Starfleet) court.
Or the androids of I Mudd?
I think Kirk would offer a more passionate advocacy for Rayna.
True but think of the struggle Kirk would have to go through attacking her that way, the looking at the personalities Picard is more Spock like and Riker is a Kirk in progress
"Angel One" and "The Aresenal of Freedom" feel almost like TOS scripts, so I'd say those.
No. No..Kirk and Sulu. Oh my!
No, I think that Kirk would be the advocate for Rayna's rights.
And instead of Spock arguing the opposite position, perhaps McCoy would take that side in court. Putting he and Kirk face to face.
Spock might agree that Rayna is a person, but would McCoy?
