Rewatched the episode earlier and I was impressed with how Sulu handled the crisis on the planet initiating proper procedures remaining calm and using humor to keep his men's moral up, that guy is going to make a fine captain some day
I had attended the Star Trek Convention in 1976 at the Commodore Hotel in NYC. DeForrest Kelley was one of the speakers. The audience started begging him to say his famous line. DefForrest obligingly smiles, leans into the mike and intones his famous, "He's dead, Jim". The audience burst into applause. What can I say? Only at a Trek Con.
Nimoy is a brilliant genius. He brings both the Vulcan salute and the Vulcan neck pinch to Star Trek. Amazing!
Dropjaw Bertone In one point Leonard Nemoy had been wrong. The gesture for the nerve pinch isn´t just a ritual jewish gesture it also turns up in the catholic ritual as " ANGEL`S GREETING" In art: for example when Maria get told by an angel that she is pregnant (HEIMSUCHUNG) the angel lifts his right hand with this finger constellation. Also, in and around Augsburg ,Germany, it is a traditional gesture to overbring condolences messages. So, as a local Augsburgian, Berthold Brecht has used it in his plays
OK
Dropjaw Bertone Yep, still very interesting his comment, he also mentions it in his both STAR TREK memories. Bible Historians assume the Hebrews got this idea from the Babylonians, since it is a literate based gesture as Mr. Nemoy had explained it rightly and them as well as the Aegyptians had been the first with a written down alphabet. O.K the Chinese as well, but in those day they had been to far away to be in THIS picture.
He brought a lot to the role. They ALL did.
So appropriate to this day and time. If only everyone could own their shadow. As Jung says, "Everything has it's opposite."
For me, "The Enemy Within" is one of the most underrated and overlooked episodes of ''Star Trek: The Original Series".
Mr. Nimoy's brilliant 'Vulcan neck-pinch' idea, Dr. McCoy's first "He's dead, Jim." and the foundation of the Kirk-Spock-McCoy relationship. Classic!
Not to mention Mr. William Shatner's two brilliant performances as the good Captain James T. Kirk and his 'Mr. Hyde' devil may care / no holds barred evil half.
Awesome upload, thank you!
Mark James Ever seen a fight with one of the combatants who is a chiropractor? It doesn't last long ,as the chiropractor knows just where to "pinch" your nerves & essentially disable you right then & there...most strange thing to see...no contest whatsoever.
Actually, Leonard had an idea about the neck pinch and talked to Shatner about it. When he applied the pressure, Shatner went down like a box of rocks, and "that" sold the producers.
director leo penn(sean penns father) went 1 day over in production, therefore not asked to come back for another episode.
That was fabulous!
Use the Force Kirk, this is your father Jor-El.
When a certain scene is mentioned it would be nice if they would show it. This time Nimoy explained what he had instructed us to look for. In other videos you are told about a scene but they don't include that scene.
I used to call the "FSNP" the "Spock lock".
I've always wondered
Why not just send a Shuttle to get Sulu and the others?
That's too easy.
I think they should have produced this where the two kirks are split but have witnesses to the event happening, one being all intellect, and the other being all emotion. And they decide to accept it and not "kno" how to re-combine them. And McCoy and Spock unknowingly start siding with their "kirk" with McCoy of course taking the emotional kirk. Having scenes between the two parties seperately to establish how different the mind and the heart are. Spock and McCoy start defending "their" kirk to each other in classic McCoy/Spock fights. Along with a final competitive fight between the two Kirks over command cause only one can sit in the chair, the two kirks reach that "point" in combat where the two are so close quarters to each other, like twins, start to sense and understand why they need each other, almost thinking as one, the real kirk comes out. Then they of course reverse the process in the end.
IIIIII’MMMMMMMMM CAPTAIN KIRRRRRRRRK!!!!
Spock says, "... it's the way I am..." Born that way, eh Spock?
The error where Sulu's phazer jumps from left to right and their hair parted wrongly was corrected on the Blu-ray release though. Picture is not mirroed anymore, but displayed correctly.
Ingen Ting there were many errors in that episode. Evil Kirk type one phaser turns into a type 2
The "almost" rape scene between Kirk and Yeoman Janice was pretty risque for the period!
Great bio (All About Jeffrey hunter) for just a $1.09!
it was a great episode, but I never liked the last few lines, how spock makes a sarcastic remark to rand about how interesting evil kirk was, as though it was cute and funny that he tried to rape her
TOS was forward thinking in some ways, but there's no doubt it was also mired in the blatant sexism of the time.
Man, I just watched this again and realized how stuck in it’s time period it was with those lines. Thought it was wrong to have Spock say it too as it went against character that he would say something like that. We better not make too much of a fuss or they’ll want to “cancel” this episode and the scene will be cut for future viewing. I’m not a fan of editing old media to conform with current sensibilities. Let adults figure it out for themselves. Don’t sanitize things. We need historical perspective.
True but it was a part of Spock's character to get a mischievous sense of amusement from human reactions to awkward moments and he also occasionally interacted poorly with humans so it's not outside the realm of the character to make an inappropriate statement from Time to time, makes him a little more human and he learns as he is around us more
