First time noticing, that the billiard table is a carom table.....used for carom billiards like baulkline, three-cushion, and other carom games.

Nomad once again

Can someone get this on Spotify???

This is one of my favorite episodes. It influenced me as a writer, especially Flint's monologue musing over his memories of the Bubonic Plague. Wonderful episode!

The guy has a cape. I like that.

this scene goes on for way too long lmao

Can Spock play the "Miami Is Nice" song?

I wonder if Vulcan has any famous musical composers? Spock certainly knows quite a bit on Earth history, and this has always been one of my favorite scenes of the series.

Kirk doesn't even remove his sidearm when he dances with the lovely lady. Ungentleman-like.

He doesn't look much like Brahms!

Requiem for Methusala

Never noticed but they avoided showing Spocks hands

3:33 - Kirk goes to to the lab to find an unknown way to purify the Irridium, and tells Spock to stay at the piano. Wha?

Someone like's their Robots of the curvey side...

Wtf! Aren't people on the Enterprise dying why is Spock playing the harpsichord and why is McCoy literally standing around doing nothing while that robot is supposed to be doing something

Spock plays the waltz. Kirk gets laid. Life is so unfair.

WTF was smoking banned in all the Star Trek series! I never see it in any of the episodes!

LOL! "Ryetalin", sounds suspiciously like, "Ritalin". Did the crew have a mass outbreak of, ADHD? That would have made an interesting episode, IMHO. 😉

Ahhhh Bach!!

That’s NOT “accomplished” dancing.

They really padded out these episodes.

A startling moment from a classic Star Trek episode featuring a waltz by Brahms, that is not by Brahms, but surely is by Brahms. A testament to the skill of composer Ivan Ditmars who wrote a very Brahmsian sounding waltz. A music school colleague of mine, Bruce Maiman, transcribed it and played it on a recital many years ago. Additional music for this episode was by Fred Steiner who also wrote the famous, and very bluesy Perry Mason theme.

The waltz that Spock plays was written by somebody else especially for this episode, but if you catch the image of the waltz at 2:55 that Spock looks at after playing the piano, it is a reproduction of a manuscript of an actual Brahms waltz, opus 39, no.1

An obviously subtle allusion to Lurch playing the harpsichord on the Addam's Family.

So, Spock recognizes Brahms' handwriting? Of course he does.

Who s here After 53 Years?

He says "To be human is also to seek pleasure ... to dance ...". Spoiler Alert ! For those who know the story line (Flint's REAL goal), it might be clearer if he says: "To BECOME human is to ... ".

Speaking as a classical pianist , it definitely is not Brahms. But someone did a good job of imitating Brahms harmony and melodic invention!

Yes, Rayna IS a most accomplished dancer. But, she doesn't know how to Speak In Tongues, or Pay her Tithes. So, obviously, she isn't "Saved". Nor, does she realize that despite numerous math and science errors, our King James Bible is "the sole repository of all truth". Because it is "the infallible and inspired Word Of God". Yes, I am sarcastically mocking Church-ianity. Which is one of the Human Evils which Flint is trying to escape. Mindless, Slavish, Un-Questioning Obedience to the inherent falsity of religion, may well be THE single greatest cause of most human suffering.

NEVER put down a pool cue for a dance! Horrors! :o

Vulcans have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs. Ain't Roddenberry great?

the important thing is that all chemicals are always coming in various colorful hues in ketchup squirt bottles.

Nimoy acts out perplexity at the piano while playing the waltz while Kirk is trying to make time with a robot. Brilliant. This is simply the greatest TV show ever.

The TOS series took place between seventy five and one hundred years before the TNG universe, yet except for Julianna Trainer in "The Inheritance" episode of TNG, none of Soong's androids from nearly a century later looked as appealing as Rayna does in this episode. That Kirk couldn't tell she wasn't a real woman until later in the episode indicates just how advanced an android she was.

If that had been Riker instead of Kirk, that woman would have ended up pregnant by the end of the dance.

any one know what waltz he is playing?

ol'e kirk all ways trying to get into some alien or androids pants

3:15 Kirk the philistine has no interest in Brahms or his waltz.

I just saw this episode. This dude is so rich he bought an entire planet. That's what you call straight ballin'.

This would have been a great episode if it hadn't been for the horrible plot of male competition between Kirk and Flynt for the android woman's affections.

spock enjoying the piano in m,y eyes hmmm?

I've always wondered if this where they got the name for ritalin from?

Louise Sorel, simply gorgeous.

Damn. Spock is GOOD to recognize the handwriting idiosyncrasies of Brahms. LOL

For those of you asking about the music who have yet to find this: th-cam.com/video/xRGVuzWX9hw/w-d-xo.html

Nothing against the composer for this episode, but around the time I was watched this episode -while going through the Original Series for the nth time - an actual composition of Brahms had been newly discovered in manuscript form, and it was about 10 times as complex and more beautiful than this simple waltz. haha. Mind you, Brahms did write a few simple waltzes much like this.

Darn, was waiting to see what was next, then it stopped :-/

Is that drug pronounced Ritalin? Lol

Play it again, Spock. This time with feeling.
