"BREAD AND CIRCUSES"?
Because... Romans.
I heard it was similar, but wrong.
Arena?
1. The Gorn is listening in on Kirk's personal commentary.
2. Kirk walked into a trap like a beginner.
3. Yes. Yes. Yes. Spock teasing us that Kirk knows the answer...but I'm not going to tell you, either.
4. The Gorns may actual own the planet and the Fed is trespassing.
5. Sulu is dodging the Gorn starship in orbit.
6. Enterprise cruises into the Metron's space.
7. Another dead red shirt, disintegrated in this case, poor O'Herlihy.
8. Your captain is losing, so, let's watch it on the big screen.
You win! But you got most of the clues wrong.
1. SPOCK: We're being held in place, Captain, apparently from that solar system.
KIRK; This far out? That's impossible.
SPOCK: We are being held.
2. SPOCK: Have you tried overload?
SCOTT: Aye, sir. It does no good.
SPOCK: How about bypassing the transformer banks? Feed the impulse engines directly.
SCOTT: I tried that, sir. Nothing.
3. SPOCK: Fascinating. Good. Good.
SPOCK: Yes. Yes.
MCCOY: What is it, Spock?
SPOCK; An invention, Doctor. First potassium nitrate, and now if he can find some sulphur and a charcoal deposit or ordinary coal.
(Kirk is at the outcrop of sharp diamonds, and putting them into the bamboo too.)
MCCOY: What's he doing?
SPOCK; Diamonds. The hardest known substance. Impelled by sufficient force, they would make formidable projectiles.
MCCOY: What force?
SPOCK: Recall your basic chemistry, Doctor. Gunpowder.
4. You were intruding! You established an outpost in our space.
KIRK [on viewscreen]: You butchered helpless human beings
GORN [OC]: We destroyed invaders, as I shall destroy you!
5. When after the rock bounces off the Gorn's chest he throws a much larger rock up at Kirk.
6. Yes
7. Uhura screamed when Kirk disappeared.
8.
KIRK: No, I won't kill him! Do you hear? You'll have to get your entertainment someplace else!
I can't believe I had you going on that one so long!
@Henoch it's all yours!
