I'd just seen this episode again on the "H&I Channel." I still can't get over just how beautiful Emily Banks was. Too bad, she just passed away this year.
That moving camera dolly with Kirk catching up to it then running past it… For television this is just an amazing shot. Even for movies it would be memorable.
I took note of it back then and still take note of it now. The budget was skinny and they made the best of what they had. Also, take note of how the movie ends with a shot over Spock"s shoulder as Kirk walks up to Ruth.
I understand that in Japan, a man is regarded as more worthy if his character contains contradictions, unexpected depths and hidden passions. George seemingly wanted to create something of this idealized Japanese hero: a samurai: master of the sword and the brush, of war and poetry and the tea ceremony. I'd say he's pleased with his success.
Well now. No matter how much one loves or appreciates the original series and its actors ... it seems there's also something like "over-analyzing" things. This episode is lighthearted fun, the sort of in-between thing too avoid making the whole season too heavy on philosophy, so maybe that is enough on its own ? That said - yes indeed. Emily Banks is a sight to behold.
It's just great science fiction because every episode taught us something about ourselves. It wasn't self-conscious, either (which IMO later series' were). In this episode it makes you think, what if every random thought manifested? How can we control our minds or thinking, or imaginations? (We can't, really. We can just choose.)
Terrific actor, Nimoy. When his autobiography I AM NOT SPOCK came out, it was a blatant and desperate attempt to avoid typecasting. Didn't work, and Nimoy finally gave up and went for the money. Whenever I see clips of him as an old man babbling about Spock, I feel sad for what might have been.
He never babbled about anything. He was a very eloquent man and very successful as an actor, director and photographer. He was also well loved by all who knew him.
Sorry George, the civil rights movement didn't divide us by color. We were divided and the movement was to stop the exploitation. And alongside many blacks were many whites who were open minded enough to try to help. Still going on today.

we miss you Deforest Kelly and Leonard Nimoy. You guys were my inspiration to become a medical lab pathology technician.
Sulu Uhura and checkov were wonderful believable well developed characters despite limited screen time
Emily Banks---- stunner!
Most beautiful cast member ever.

The soundtrack to this episode was one of the best
Sad seeing DeForest here. This was filmed and aired one year before he died.
+kataisa3 Actually he died in 1999, Stomach Cancer is a horrible way to go.
Cancer of ANY KIND is a horrible way to go.
Dom Oranzi Yes, and this first aired in 1998, a year before his death.
@@DelcoRanz93same way my grandmother went
Still in love with Emily!
I dearly miss this time! At least we can remember this (thank you McCoy).
The difference is it is not just escapism entertainment. Its challenging thought provoking inspiring and entertaining. More depth. Great episode.
I just want to make sure people know this episode was written by the great science fiction writer Theodore Sturgeon.

Baloney.
IF you EAT enough of that you'll be FULL of it yourself...badweetabix
2:49 Sulu is a Khan summit professional.
5:30 What was going on in the country was the rise of the evil left.
When the Si Fi channel was good.
No, he just decided to go with the flow and was much happier.
hi guys and to me it's just to get away from this old world sometimes because of the hard times ive gone tru and a nice dream to have at one time.
This the one episode I remember from the 70s.
The actress that played the yeoman was the prettiest girl ever in the franchise!!! Plus y did the keeper wait so long to reveal himself!!!
I had a crush on her as a teenager! Prettiest in Season 1.
@@goodfaithchapelme too she makes Rand look like a school girl!!!!

Some would say we manifest our reality . Perhaps we will master is some day
Some situations DO repeat thamselves, as TODAY"S events are showing.

If they cut out those 'flying bumpers,' each episode of this series would be 47 seconds long.
God, De sounds so tired here :(
Picard/Stewart sounds this way..
ooookay so why wasn't this on the blu-ray?
but jeez are those background/sound effects annoying or what?

I've read his follow-up autobiography "I Am Spock". Quite an interesting read.
?
He never babbled about anything. He was a very eloquent man and very successful as an actor, director and photographer. He was also well loved by all who knew him.
That he created such a powerful character is a testament to his acting really. I have no idea what he was really like as a person.

Learn how to pronounce "consummate". NO accent on the "su" part.
I'm surprised Takei wasn't whining and b*tching about something
They cut out the line, "I liked everything about Star Trek . . . _except for that asshole, Shatner."_
