It seems the Romulans here were friendlier and courteous than the ones seen in Picard. They must've become more resentful towards the Feds.

I always enjoyed this episode. And Yvonne Craig too

Man, she was a beauty in whatever episodes she was in. I guess it was too progressive during the 60s for most people to think a woman would be barking out any orders. Probably not many women in military positions, either.

Mirror NIMOY was interviewed here.

Shater made mistake when said Jack Ripper was terrorizing people in 1960s. The Ripper murders took place in London, England in 1880s

I liked partial setting of Western town in Spectre of the Gun. I gave impression these were bits and pieces from Captain Kirk's mind about what had read about in history books. The Melcons also would not know exactly what Western town in America of 1888 really looks like....

For me, the wearing of short skirts put women as objects. The women in the original series could never grow because of the skirts. I like Gene R. trying to move women as equal partners in the 23rd century.

that background music is so soothing

How about The Changeling? The City on the Edge of Forever was interesting but did not really take place in space or involve the ship.

When Sarek complimented his son, I found Sarek's logic impeccable.

They all act like this was something important, fantastic. It was a TV show.

It seems that Clint turned out to be a pretty decent guy. His brother Ron however, turned out to be a woke nightmare straight from hell. Watching Ron Howard on the Andy Griffith show, and even American Graffiti and Happy Days, it's hard to imagine how evil he would turn out to be.

"Unconscious racism?" Trek had two non-white major co-stars at a time when that was never done.

When Sci-Fi was a GREAT channel.

Good Episode, Love Star Trek 1966 - 69.

I enjoyed watching this episode. I understood Charlie's frustration for failing to befriend a woman he wanted because I had experienced this situation. I never had love with a woman until I was 39 years old.😣 Teenage boy Charlie is an Incel. He had been alone on the planet for many years and cared for by the guardian. He gave him power. Once aboard the Enterprises, he was not accustomed to the social environment, especially women. Charlie tried hard to befriend the woman he wanted. He got upset after the woman rejected him. That led to the destruction of everything. He felt frustrated, and a guardian finally took him away. I see today's American women are horrid, bitch, and domineering. Several of them are gold diggers seeking men for money, power, and fame. Misandty propagandistic mainstream media and WOKE Hollywood media industries influenced and brainwashed women to dominate men and loathe men. These situations alienate and isolate many good men with growing numbers of Incels. That explains the one reason why family values eroded nowadays. Holy Incel power, Batman! 😱

I used to think I was straight cos I loved all the women on star trek tos, turns out I was gay and I just thought they were fabulous!

Any time i hear George Takei's voice i think of the vulgar disgusting things he's said and done. He is a degenerate.

Sherry one of the best of the Star Trek babes.

The "Romulan's" name was Subcommander Tal. There, was that so hard.

3:05 - Where's the Vulcan neck pinch when you need it!

balok still looks the same

Hard to believe that it’s been 25 years since the Sci-Fi Channel did this special edition of the original series. Happy Star Trek Day and live long and prosper 🖖.

It's true. Grace looked very different in the 1960s without that wig.

This is in my top 5 favorite ToS episodes.

I think I need to download this episode...

“She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge. . . she studied sculpture at St. Martin’s College, that’s where I. . . caught her eye. . .” - William Shatner

After Shatner watched Grace's interview I should say he was insufferablv pleased with himself for at least a month!

First time I watched "The Cage" in its entirety in 1998 🤓😎🖖🏻

Some of the final interviews with Deforest. 😓

I watched and taped theses episodes as they aired as well. Time snd circumstances (as well as no more VHS's) intervened so Im glad someone else has kept these "historical records" for posterity. (Best Galaxy Quest alien laugh!) 🤓😎🖖🏻

5:00 to 6:05 odd to watch this after seeing what Strange New Worlds has done with the character.

Unlike other science fiction shows and movies, the actors and actresses lacked something the cast of Star Trek, TOS had. A commraderi.

Someone enlighten me. Why wasn't John Hoyt kept on as the doctor?

The account of Jeffrey Hunter leaving is practically legendary now, but I've heard it confirmed by multiple sources. After doing the pilot Hunter scored several big screen roles. When they wanted to shoot a second pilot Hunter's agent called him. His wife answered and famously told his agent that, 'Jeffrey does not do television acting anymore'.

I relish any kind of alien drink.

A short clip with Gary Lockwood would have been stellar

He actually doesn't take a big slug he barely drinks any of it. 😂 I don't blame him

The truth Jeff Hunter demanded that he what a lot more money networks fired him and hired shatner

Collective consciousness? Parallel to the Borg episodes.

I'm pretty sure a couple of Tribbles ended up on the Defiant

I know message thread resurrection, but does anyone know if this Syfy channel special is available In a Commercially released DVD set?

Bravo Harlan you nailed it!!!

*SAVE THE REDSHIRTS!* 🤭🤭🤭

It is interesting to hear what the network execs thought of a female second in command, not surprisingly the character got cut. Fast forward to TNG and Commander Shelby. Just this week, Elizabeth Denehy who played Shelby said back in the 90s, some fans resented her and treated her with disdain... who does she think she is? Now 30 years later, she said that is no longer a problem. I think Majel would be happy to hear that!

👍👍

My favorite episode 😊😊😊❤❤❤

And now we have this exact thing today in 2023

An interesting irony is that mankind, invasive and stumbling blindly onto other planets, is in fact the 'Devil in the Dark'. The Horta called the miners 'devils' during Spock's mind meld...which is where the ironic dagger of the mind starts twisting. All of which begs the question... Is mankind somehow destroying innocent lives even as we speak? Is our medical prime directive to 'above all, do no harm' being ignored in our zeal for materialistic gain? Here's an ironic fact... Every year, 50 million human babies are aborted around the world. ("Minors, not miners!" - Dr. Lazarus) The reasons vary...but the result is the same: the equivalent of eight and one half Nazi holocausts performed annually like clockwork. The devil in the dark... Darkened minds...unenlightened...and languishing beyond redemption.

"Ado NAY us", I never realized this is the he correct pronunciation and what the name meant. Fascinating.
