The least disliked episode 2021 - TOS Season Three

IIRC, Justman read the script as part of his pre-production duties and thought it was too much talk/not enough action. In other words, boring!

I'll agree with that!
The only action is a couple guest stars I clown makeup jogging around the set!

(Frank Gorshin deserved better than that. Maybe as Dr. Severin?)
 
It's funny that it's the same guy who played the crazy alien nazi and the crazy space hippy.:D

It's like he has a knack for playing crazy evil people...:D

He was pretty busy as a child actor.

Homeier was one of only three actors to appear in different guest roles in seasons 2 and 3, by my count, the others being Ian Wolfe and Diana Muldaur. Am I missing anyone?
 
Why does it matter that it's seasons 2 and 3?
It doesn't. There are few actors who had (on-screen) guest roles playing two different characters, and that's just the subset that was suggested by the discussion of Homeier. The others I can think of, besides Babcock (seasons 1 and 3), were all in seasons 1 and 2: Morgan Woodward, Mark Lenard, Lawrence Montaigne, William Campbell, and Barry Russo.

Well, he was a background character (he did have some speaking parts), but Ed McCready played 5 different roles on TOS. Like this one as the Exeter’s doctor...

...or this one as a Nazi guard...

You get the idea.
 
Commodore Bob Wesley: Why are you firing at us?

Kirk: It's not me you idiot. It's that damn computer you've replaced me with!!! ( That's Kirk talking like he's McCoy.:rommie:)

Seriously. Wesley mocks Kirk as "Captain Dunsel" as if Kirk has nothing whatever to do with the operation of the Enterprise while the M-5 is on board, but as soon as trouble breaks out, he's all "what's Kirk doing, is he crazy?" Nice, Bob.

Did you include Jon Lormer? He was Dr. Haskins in what I guess we'll call Season 0 (The Cage), Tamar in Return of the Archons in S1, and the title-spouting Yonadan citizen in For the World Is Hollow and I Must Touch the Sky in S3.
 
It's supposed to be absurd. They are saying that racism is absurd.
That's why both Kirk and Spock claim that at one point the race must have been mono-colored...

(Yes I always found it interesting that they have the two main characters making essentially racist assumption about the evolution of said race in the episode itself.)
 
It would make more sense if they had stripes like tigers or zebras... So one could have white stripes on a black background and the other the opposite....
