- I greatly enjoyed ‘The Trouble with Tribbles’, especially the ending, but it was a little difficult to see past the actor recycling; I couldn’t help but imagine that the Klingon commander was actually Trelane playacting at Klingon!
- Star Trek can actually easily be described with the simple, one-line summation of an episode of this season – Jack the Ripper hacks the Enterprise. (‘Wolf in the Fold’)
- Despite how slimy, annoying and easily despisable Harry Mudd is, I almost feel sorry for him being left with 500 android clones of his nagging wife. (‘I, Mudd’)
- I much prefer ST’s take on 20th/21st century Romans over the ‘Code Geass’ version (‘Bread and Circuses’)
- ‘The Doomsday Machine’ proves that something doesn’t have to have a fancy, elaborate design to be positively terrifying!
- I’ve always liked the idea of the ancient gods being creatures from another planet; especially the idea of them, having been forgotten as stories and legend, wasting away from depression and longing for what was – and the sort of lengths they might go to to get it back (‘Who Mourns for Adonais?’)
- It’s almost sad how different William Shatner has actually aged in comparison to the version envisioned by the make-up department in ‘The Deadly Years’
It also became more obvious to me that this is definitely a show meant to be enjoyed by multiple people at a time; mainly because it’s difficult to quieten one’s very human reactions to what’s happening because it’s 2am and everyone else is trying to sleep!
