Spock's reaction to the deaths on the INTREPID is similar to a moment in STAR WARS when Obi-Wan "feels" the deaths of the people on Alderon when it is destroyed by the Death Star.
In a lot of old gangster movies, they literally would jump up behind a person and throw a bag like a burlap sack or something like that over a person and carry them into a car to kidnap them. Hence “put the bag on him“.
I always imagined there should've been a Next Generation episode where they returned to visit the Iotians, then find a society of cosplayers at a Trek convention.
That sounds more like an episode of Lower decks. Still, I agree that world would have been the perfect place for a Cosplay convention center industry. 💡
@@marialanier6155 I also had an idea for the opening of one of the Kelvin timeline Trek movies where the movie starts with the Enterprise orbiting a planet, then the camera zooms down through the atmosphere to a scene where Mc Coy, Kirk and Spock are in a car chase, being chased by gangsters. Instead of agreeing to Kirk's terms, they team up against him. Right before beaming up, McCoy drops his communicator.
Hi Cortney! I love your reaction videos and I'm so glad you're enjoying watching what I loved as a kid. I agree with your thoughts on why Spock was selected to pilot the shuttlecraft and collect scientific data over McCoy. I think what you were trying to say is that Bones is more emotionally and physically vulnerable to the stresses and in contrast, Spock is more decisive, disciplined and thinks more logically. Attributes that will insure successful mission completion. Looking forward to your next reaction video! LLAP. 🖖😊
More interesting than who Kirk chose, consider Kirk's very identity: the man who saw Kodos squander lives on Tarsus IV, the man who refuses to trade lives, who always finds a third option. It cost Kirk a great deal to send either of his friends. Kirk tricked his way out this time, but this is not the last no-win scenario his crew will face.
I just recently discovered your channel and I love it! You were born the year I graduated high school! I've been watching Star Trek since I was a kid, but I'm kind of old school. It took a while for TNG to grow on me because I love TOS so much, and only now that I'm about to turn 50, I finally gave DS9 a chance. I'm afraid to move any further because I don't want to get overly attached to a series again, or I'm afraid others won't live up to the first three. I'm not sure what to do, but I will definitely continue the Star Trek journey with you! 🖖😁
Comedy is hard. TOS does two good comedy episodes. They had good writers. A Piece of the Action was made because they had access to the costumes and the back lot sets from the studio stores, TOS does a few of these. Sadly, these went out of fashion as real estate costs (and so warehouse costs) in California began skyrocketing in the '70s, and studios liquidated their costume stores as well as their back lot sets. In Trek lore Giant Space Amoeba fall into the category of "cosmozoans" - life forms that thrive in the vacuum of space. I do love how Kirk laments the fact they have to kill the amoeba in order to protect life. As much as he is the "soldier" in Trek canon he always sides with life.
"A Piece of the Action" 1. This isn't the best episode but is in a three-way tie for the funniest. 2. I learned how to drive with a standard transmission. 3. Scotty's my guy. Especially when he's drunk.🤣 "The Immunity Syndrome" 1. When Spock rocks the galaxy is a better place. 2. The saving for me is the entire episode takes place in space.
I like how, as Mr. Spock would phrase it, that the Iotians know the form but not the substance. Oxmyx is "playing pool" but he's hitting any ball he wants to instead of lining up shots and needing to use the cue ball to make it happen. I also like how the episode serves as a reminder that cars used to have a starter button on the floorboard and now, cars have returned to having a starter button. Just as cars were battery powered in the early days and here we are again having electric cars becoming more common.
Bones was always short for "Sawbones", an old term for doctors dating back to the days when they couldn't often treat infections and had to saw through the bones to amputate a limb and save the patient.
"A Piece of the Action." To better understand these times, may I suggest... "The Untouchables" 1987 with Kevin Coster & Sean Connery. A true story, this would be an excellent film for you to react to. As well as learn about the days of Prohibition, and the Mob. The Untouchables TV Series. B/W running from 1959 - 1963 starring Robert Stack as Elliot Ness. This series inspired Kevin Costner's movie version. A word of warning. There is nothing more fascinating than the culture that was born out of the Prohibition Era. The Speakeasies, Rum Runners, Organized Crime Syndicates. And the Original Gangsters, AL Capone, John Dillinger, Machine Gun Kelly, Baby Face Nelson, and yes, Bonnie & Clyde. This is a forgotten time in American history. And a Playlist of Gangster Movies would be So Cool! And you can start, with The Untouchables!
I don't want the Iotians to change, but they learn much faster than us. Once they figure out how the communicator works their technology, their whole civilization, will fast forward and change. It won't be long before they achieve space flight and possibly expand their "territories" to the stars.
Hopefully, their "Gangster Culture" will slip away, too. It is clear here that although they are humanoids, they are just a bit _psychologically_ different from humans, like they are a bit _physically_ different, too.
When Sulu is missing in this time period he is acting in the John Wayne movie The Green Berets. The development of the relationship between McCoy and Spock the actor Deforest Kelley said this "One of the most interesting dynamics to emerge from the original Star Trek was the back-and-forth between McCoy and Spock. “The Spock-McCoy situation is a thing that started with a very small moment,” he reflects. “It was just a line that he threw at me and I, in turn, threw the line back in a certain manner. Nobody thought much about it at the time. But when it hit the screen, it created an uproar. So they started to build on it and put more of that in. We all gave a great deal of input to our characters, but Gene Roddenberry laid them out for us in the beginning and tried to keep us on track.”
I watched re-runs of Star Trek TOS during my childhood & I remember watching this episode & being able to identify it as an amoeba before the reveal in the show, because I had just leaned about the amoeba in my science class at school. I thought that was so cool 😎. Lol
A Piece of the Action is really fun. This story also has a photo-novel. Note that the 1st boss beamed down to the meeting is played by the same actor who played the bum in City on the Edge of Forever. Immunity Syndrome and Miri kinda steered by life into the bio/genetics areas in university. Vaccines, antibodies, etc. The lingo turned out to be real and I needed to know what they were talking about.
Love both episodes but ESPECIALLY LOVE Piece Of The Action. I have found out that many modern day Trekkers and Trekkies don't like the comedic episodes or have harsh criticism when they get comedic in any classic trek like TOS or TNG. I like the wide range That they have access to within the genre of science fiction. Everything doesn't always have to be space ship battles and technobabble with no comedic relief at all. I like the high quality writing and stories and performances whether it's a traditional sci-fi setting or not.
Agree I think the entire franchise started going downhill beginning in TNG when they got writers that seemed to think that we watch Star Trek and the like for it's gritty realism
@@richelliott9320 Usually I would agree, but they were only halfway through the season. They should have still had plenty of money & other resources left in the season two budget.
Always enjoy your reactions! Nice to see a young lady enjoying this show I grew up with in the 60s! By the way George Takei was making the movie The Green Berets with John Wayne so he missed some episodes! He will be back soon !
Not to worry, The Kirk from the Kevlin timeline is a much better driver than the TOS Kirk and if you keep watching Star Trek beyond TOS and into the motion pictures, you'll figure out what I'm referring to unless you already know. The captain can keep his vintage car in the shuttle bay or until someone accidentally scratches or crushes it with a bad shuttle craft landing LOL!
George Takei (Sulu) missed the start of the second season because he was shooting the movie THE GREEN BERETS with John Wayne which went behind schedule. Although he was of Italian heritage,, the actor playing Bella Oxmyx played Indians many times in western movies and TV shows. Despite what the cover said, the typeset of The Book shows that it is a Bible.
I would have chosen Spock because he is the chief science officer, thereby sharing some knowledge of biology with McCoy. He is strictly rational and goal driven. He also has a greater physical stamina due to being Vulcan.
38:13 "Which of my _friends_ do I condemn to death?" "I... I can't even... decide who I would send." Well, I mean, if one of them is physically able to withstand the excursion and the other isn't, then nothing else matters. Whatever training you have is irrelevant if you die before you can do any _good._
There's a book called Kobayashi Maru that's set during the time of Star Trek: Enterprise which explains how the Iotians got the book and the incident that became the Kobayashi Maru test at Star Fleet Academy.
While Kirk is the main character of the series, Spock is the indispensable character. Kirk and Spock make the series work. No shade on the other characters. We miss them when they're gone, but they're not essential to the series. It's very interesting how this developed in the series, because Kirk was not in the pilot, and Spock wasn't essential early on.
I feel like sending Spock was the right decision because Bones is an expert in his field but he needs to be led. He is a great team member. I don’t really see him leading missions.
I really think Spock was chosen because he could greater withstand the _physical stress of and trauma_ of the shuttle flight into the creature. Not because of his scientific abilities or his military tactical point of view of the crisis. Kirk realized one can't carry out any kind of analysis if they are killed in the turbulence. Still, I would have chosen McCoy to go. But, I admit I would not be as good at making command decisions as Kirk.
One more thing from me, today. Courtney, if you like Scotty, there is a good episode for you coming up in season three, episode 17. For some reason, it is called "That Which Survives". In fact, most all of the main characters actively participate in the episode. 😀 Okay that's all from me, for today. 🤐
Keeping the chief medical officer aboard ship to help the crew survive, I think, was very crucial to the mission's success, so I think Kirk made the right call. Tough, either way.
No, because the impact would have smashed open his head and smeared his acetylcholine rich brain all over the back wall. ☹ Still, I also would have risked that McCoy would have been able to withstand the trauma and sent him instead of Spock. .... Yes, in hindsight that would have been the wrong decision, but I am a computer programmer, not a personnel manager. 🤷♂
McCoy cares for Spock more over time, but yes he does have that harshness to him due to things in his past. Things that compelled him to leave private practice on Earth and search for cures and new medicines in space. This will be explained more in the movies. For now we'll just say he's had some rough times.
22:26 "You're the science officer. You're supposed to haves sufficient data, all the time." Kirk, science deals with insufficient data all the _time._ This is why there's a perpetual difference between the Universe as best we _understand_ it and the Universe as it truly _is._ More importantly, when it comes to science, what matters is sifting through and sorting out what information _not_ to rely on.
36:24. Maybe those were not stars. They could have been bits of debris and ambient illuminated ordinary space objects. In "Star Trek; The Next Generation", their ship has more windows and views of space looking out from inside. When they are traveling at warp speed, they can see a lot of "stars" streaking by. In fact, there seem to be too many stars streaking by if they are only traveling at something like 10,000,000 times the speed of light. I say many times, those are not stars.
5:47 "Make it up." Oh. You didn't catch it. See, this is a rare instance of Spock cleverly presenting himself as both deceptive and insufferably honest. See what he said, just now, concealed the truth, but it was not actually a lie. It's true, Spock _has_ never calculated the odds of a royal Fizzbin. These gangsters assume he has just not gotten _around_ to it, yet. But the truth is that Spock has never calculated those odds because the game does not actually _exist._ So he concealed the _truth,_ but without actually _lying._
Hello, there. The immunity syndrome is one of my favorites. Shows just what Kirk and the the crew can really do when confronted with a Potentially super enemy...... I wish we had a starship enterprise for real..... You would definitely be part of the crew. Where on the bridge do you think you would want to be?
Watching this comedy for the 500th time, I see now how "A Piece of the Action" would have been better with Uhura or Chekov on the planet surface and McCoy staying aboard ship, counseling Scotty.

@@TheNoiseySpectatorNo, it was scripted that way and could have been scripted otherwise to have the shuttlecraft reach the Intrepid to save the remaining crew instead of killing them all at once.
"Shut up Spock, we're rescuing you!" lol ! 2 great episodes, enjoyed these reactions Courtney.
Spock's reaction to the deaths on the INTREPID is similar to a moment in STAR WARS when Obi-Wan "feels" the deaths of the people on Alderon when it is destroyed by the Death Star.

Obviously, this was one of the comedy episodes and I’ve always thought William Shatner is a very underrated comedic actor
When you consider some of his later roles, no, he found his niche in comedy.
Not underrated at all. He's been in a couple of very popular comedy shows.

The Untouchables was a Desilu production. The show had only been off the air for a couple of years so they had plenty to work with.
Imagine if the crew of the Horizon had left behind a set of Martin Scorsese films rather than the book Chicago Mobs of the 1920s.
.. What about a couple of DVDs of some seasons of The Teletubbies?

Deforest Kelly was in plenty of westerns. I’m sure he loved scenes where he got to fight.
They loved the twenties in the sixties.
