That DS9 episode is pretty good! (Not great.) Plus there was the whole enormous difference between needing to displace one war survivor for a energy project that could be turned on whenever vs having to immediately destroy a moon to save an entire planet. Different speeds for different purposes.
Well, he was actually a guy who sat out the war on his farm.
Yeah, but I said he survived it, not fought in it.
They clearly didn’t work in “The Naked Time”.

TOS S1 - "The Naked Time"
My one question regarding this whole episode is:
If the parasite was infecting Boimler for a month, and the pheromones made him attractive to every female he came across; why was Barb the only female really so affected?
The parasite reproduces by making its host chemically irrestible to potential mates, according to our heroes. That doesn't mean that the parasite necessarily is all about reproduction or turns on the pheromones constantly or for just any potential mate. It could be that it became fixated on Barb in particular (which jibes with its statement that "it was always me, Barb!" and still wanting to take Barb to dinner) and either had Boimler emit Barb-specific pheromones or pheromones while only when Barb was around.
I think we are supposed to think that there was at some level more than pheromones going on for real. Remember, Boimler and Barb had not been in each other's presence for the month that they had been dating. I suppose it's possible that he was sending her things with pheromones on it during the month. And presumably, given Boimler's talk about how long it had been since he had had a lover, Boimler and Barb had not done the dirty deed yet.
(Mods, looks like I prematurely posted. Please delete the previous one. Thanks in advance!)

And I suppose Mariner, just like her voice actor is erratic and confuses crew members a lot. Or is like that medical officer in DS9 who thought Bashir was Andorian, not Arab.
In Where No Man has Gone Before, Kirk was essentially called a nerd by Gary
That's not how the transporter works.
"Man, I remember you back at the Academy...a stack of books with legs."
Yep. A bookworm and a nerd so dedicated to his duty and classes he didn't have time for fun, at least at the time Gary first met him.
They are not laughing at Trek. They are laughing with it
Um...I'd say yes as to how the Bio-Filter of the transporter works.
Transporter works however any given episode requires it to work. There was something about Ransom's bug and "Lover" that the Cerritos biofilter didn't catch on transport.
TOS never said a thing about the transporter using a "bio-filter". In "The Naked Time" they did use a never-seen-again decontamination sequence on the pad after the landing party beamed up, but it didn't work.
Well its pretty easy to say the one they have on the Cerittos is one of its busted systems.
Actually Spock is an old family name on Amanda's side. Her mother was Dutch. Sarek let it slide because it sounded Vulcan.
