I had a weird day today. A damn weird day. One day, I think I'll probably think of it as the weirdest day of mine for 2019. Short of running into space aliens, it couldn't have gotten any stranger. But anyway... that serves as the inspiration for this thread.
What do you think are the weirdest moments in Star Trek?
I think one of the weirdest feeling moments is when Marvik, who's gone insane from seeing Kollos, is in Engineering in "Is There In Truth No Beauty?" and sends the Enterprise warping across the galaxy in the weirdest, spaciest way. The music, the direction, the fight, the whole thing feels like a weird acid trip. I'm not doing it justice by describing it like this. The scene itself probably sounds like it would be ordinary, but if you've seen it, you know how weird it feels. Let me put it this way: this is something that could've only been done in the very-late-'60s.
For anyone not familiar with the episode: If anyone sees Kollos, they go mad. Only Dr. Miranda Jones, who's blind and has a sensor web, is immune because she can't see that which drives everyone else insane. And that's when they start to do trippy stuff.
