Thoughts on: Star Trek TOS Season 3


  • "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" is, sadly, just as relevant now as it was when it first aired in 1969
  • How in the hells would things get so bad as to be standing room only?! You'd have to have no shame at all when reproducing to get to that point! ("The Mark of Gideon")
  • Was Stratos the inspiration for Cloud City? ("The Cloud Minders")
  • Anyone who wants to live forever should watch "Requiem for Methuselah" - do you really want to watch everything and everyone you love rot and die around you? (because face it - the ones who want it won't want to share it)
  • What benefit would there be in keeping the truth of the generation ship/asteroid from the inhabitants? They'd all be shocked and terrified and have no idea what to do when they finally arrived at their destination. ("For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky")
  • Come to think of it, what would happen when the generation ship/asteroid reached its target? What if Daran V was its destination, it had just been colonised in the time since the ship/asteroid's departure?
  • The only real differences between the society in "Plato's Stepchildren" and reality are that able-bodied/neurotypical people don't have telekinesis and aren't usually so open in their discrimination (when they mean to be; sometimes people don't even realise that they're being discriminatory, which is a whole other discussion)
  • Kirk looks so very wrong as a Romulan ("The Enterprise Incident")
  • The coffee on the Enterprise is far too strong to be intended for consumption ("Wink of an Eye")
I'm looking forward to watching The Next Generation!
