Korob and Sylvia - these little creatures were sent on a mission of conquest and raised all kinds of hell, not bad for something about four inches tall. I also love the fact they are rally alien in design instead of the traditional person in a suit or funny forehead.
Which one is Sylvia?
Kirk likes the Gorn, too. Here he gives him a big Kirk hug.
Me likey a million times over this one!

That's outstanding! Were I a director, I'd cast him in every show I made -- he's a hoot!
He was also the titular character of a Sid & Marty Krofft Saturday morning series called "Dr. Shrinker".
Sounds right up his alley, too! And a nice, steady paycheque is always welcome, is it not?
I guess only Spock knows her first name....
"Just call me Hot Mama, you handsome Vulcan stud, you...."
The green, pink-haired ambassador from "Elaan of Troyius" is my favourite TOS alien. Where'd they find this guy, he's so over-the-top? His delivery is liquid gold! He cracks me right the hell up ...
Wouldn't you like to see him finally losing control and try to strangle Elaan? Seeing one of the ruby slippers protruding from her mouth at the end would be priceless!
"... but THESE are your RUBY slippers!!!"

Spock's my favorite alien...but in the context of this question...the Gorn commander, sure.
Well, I may not be a feminist, but I can't abide Men roughing up women. I can understand how the Green Ambassador might entertain the notion, in such an instance, though. But c'mon ... let's be honest, here ... Elaan would've taken him on, easily. And did! Not cool. Let's hope he kept that under his hat, as it's not the sort of thing you boast about ... even on official channels. Say anything else happened ... make it up!Wouldn't you like to see him finally losing control and try to strangle Elaan? Seeing one of the ruby slippers protruding from her mouth at the end would be priceless!
I must admit, that I would've very much liked to have seen their final confrontation, when she stabbed him in the back and put him out of commission, for a while. If you're going to have an episode taking place entirely on the ship, being so familiar, then you really need to be as over-the-top with your story as the limits of the show allow for. And there are some very strong performances and it's definitely one of Season Three's better shows. I just ... I really hate the costumes, though. All of them.
I always thought the "protective suits" in "The Naked Time" looked like shower curtains.
(not really alien though)
That's exactly what Bill Theiss used to make those suits. Miniscule 1st season costume budget.
I'm a female, so I don't approve of men roughing up women either, but I intended the comment only as a humorous mental image Petri might have entertained and something for us to chuckle about as viewers. It wasn't intended as a serious thought for the ambassador to pursue or as a statement promoting violence against women, and in retrospect I should have phrased it as such.
Yes, my money would have been on Elaan as being able to hold her own physically against Petri, but none of us know what Petri might have been capable of either. Just because someone is perceived as weak doesn't mean that s/he truly is. It was just the image of him getting the ruby slipper in there even for a few seconds before she continued her combat against him that tickled my funny bone. Something tells me we wouldn't want to imagine where the hapless slipper finally ended up!
