The least disliked episode 2021 - TOS Season Two

[BK613]

"All Our Yesterdays" should not be grouped with these others because it's a quote from Shakespeare (just like "By Any Other Name," "The Conscience of the King," and, of course, "Spock's Brain").

It's a title with the word yesterday in it.
In one sense, Tomorrow is Yesterday and All Our Yesterdays belong together as time-travel eps, with Return to Tomorrow the odd one out.

Yeah, but that's a quote from Macbeth - just like "Dagger of the Mind," and unlike the Tomorrow Episodes - to this day I have no idea what the title of Return to Tomorrow means in the context of that episode - it's a literary quote drawn from a near-universally-known passage (that was good enough for Faulkner) that also happens to describe perfectly what the inhabitants of Sarpeidon are doing: traveling back to all their yesterdays.

Then it should be called "All Their Yesterdays."
I agree with you on the vagueness of Return to Tomorrow but Tomorrow is Yesterday is as plain as day to me. They've traveled back in time; so what would have been a day in their 23rd century past (yesterday, poetically) is now a day in their 20th century future (tomorrow, poetically.)

I suppose you could say "RETURN TO TOMORROW" directly relates to Sargon and Thalassa. They were essentially in oblivion for centuries, and after the events of the episode, they return to that state, but more permanently. A kind of 'tomorrow'.

I'm just spitballing, honestly... it's the rare franchise title that just makes you scratch your head.

@Farscape One Or maybe, all the promises (warp drive the size walnuts, etc) that Sargon, et. al, represented are returned to some future discovery date?

No, It's just a stupidly vague title.

 

[Scott Kellogg]

I always liked Kirk's speech in that one.

 

[Farscape One]

Ah, yes. "Whisk... is our business!", says the chef.

Oh, wait. You mean Kirk's "Risk... is our business!"

Yes, that was a good speech.

 

[Spectre Of The Fun]

I always liked Kirk's speech in that one.

Yes and in addition I like McCoy standing up for his principles against Thalassa's body snatching plans.

 

[Spock .]

I don't know about Return To Tomorrow. I did appreciate a lot of the humor in the episode ("Even a Vulcan cannot know the unknown..."), and the speeches, but I feel like the plot wasn't developed enough.

No, It's just a stupidly vague title.

The vague ones are the best! If not a little hokey, I'll agree... Worse, how might audiences respond if the makers called that episode "Sargon Drops the Ball"...?

Sargon >> Ball? I don't get it.
