I hope they give it the classic Rodenberry nuance.

Good timing by the Horror Channel to run this Star Trek episode about a mysterious illness running rampant on the Enterprise - spread by touch. I think we could all do with one of these suits Spock is wearing.

Kirk's got it now - or is he just acting? 'Just' acting, it's Shatner, LOL.

McCoy and Scotty the unlikely heroes as Spock went through some sort of Oedipal crisis and Kirk lost it for all of two (very intense) minutes.

Currently showing the episode which introduced the character of Khan - which I'd never seen before, in fact there's been a few I hadn't seen before, which surprises me. So it was news to me that:
1. Khan is from 20th century Earth.
2. He was involved in a 'eugenics war' on Earth in... 1993!
3. He's Indian - which explains the name Khan, I thought it was just LOL Star Trek writers using a name that sounded like a 'science fiction' name. He is, however, described as Sikh when Khan is a Muslim name.
All of which goes to prove I am no Trekkie, I suppose.

Plus what a fucking howler of a blunder by Kirk at the end of the episode.

An Indian played by a Mexican! Close enough for 1960s TV I guess.

a mysterious illness running rampant on the Enterprise
actually 22% of all star trek episodes across all series have infection plots

The synopsis for this morning's Star Trek episode:
"McCoy becomes deranged and changes the past. Can guest star Joan Collins help?"
Get your popcorn out.

IIRC he was named after Gene Roddenberry's old army pal or something like that?
Kim Noonien Singh, Roddenberry used the name in an attempt to get in touch with him, which obviously failed as he tried again in TNG with Noonien Soong.

pretty intense. Edith Keeler aka Joan Collins death came unexpected.Bones accusing Kirk was even more disturbing ..."YOU killed her!"

Did you notice Floyd’s Barber Shop in the background?

what's up with the star trek tos technique where just someone's eyes (usually kirk's) are lit, in a band, while the rest of the face/body is in relative darkness? was that sort of thing common?
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 5 May 2020 17:01 (three years ago) link
FLOYD RULES. Actually I don't know what Floyd’s Barber Shop is... or was.

So they had this great German cinematographer Karl Freund who worked for Desilu on I Love Lucy who figured out how to shoot a sitcom along with this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Daniels?wprov=sfti1 who also directed many, many episodes of another Desilu production, Star Trek.
