You know technically what Kirk did here is great...he presented purpose of the federation in a way that they'd understand.

[@rusalkin]

yeah i imagine the marquee playing this clip during recruitment and going: "See!? They are the same just one is more advanced."

[@MoetChandonHollywoodlifestyles]

You can tell William Shatner was having fun this material.

[@sarahfullerton6894]

I just love the "Cover him, Spocko!"

[@gazza7693]

I will never get the sight of Spock in a gangsters suit wielding a Thompson machine gun out of my head now, thank you youtube algorithm.

[@steamedhamlet]

I love Shatner's acting in TOS. One of my favorite aspects of the show. And I like Kirk. He's a great leader. TOS movies are also great. Even Final Frontier which is kinda bad, but I still like it!

[@RaikenXion]

Yeh i kinda like Final Frontier too, it's the chemistry between those guys that makes that particular Trek movie watchable. Heres a pointless fact i'll share with you, in Final Frontier, the part where Kirk get attacked by the ThunderCat lady, the sound she makes before he picks her up and throws her is James Brown's "waaahh!" from the start of his "I feel Good" song.

"Who's interfering? We're ... taking over." :D

[@NitpickingNerd]

funniest bit for me was when Kirk said "at least let me call my ship , say goodbye " when they were going to kill him , and the ganster just agreed . I LOLed really hard at that

[@hamhockbeans]

@@NitpickingNerd Well if it was like he said" Before you kill me let me get something out my car I will be right back." and he let him do it would mean these mobsters are completely brainless.😁

1:19 Al right SPOCKO, cover him.. (That really made me laugh..!!)

[@JohnBachofer]

I'll bet Shatner was loving every second of this.

[@SOCORROSILVA-in7px]

I remember seeing every single episode of Star Trek: The Original Series with Mr William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and Deforest Kelly as Captain James T Kirk, Mr Spock and Dr McCoy respectfully very much while I was much younger and boy did I enjoy watching it very much. Please enjoy this day to its max. ©® March 02, 2021 @ 3:00 pm ©®

[@dataquester]

My favorite quote of this episode is"baby watch this they will have heaters on them" That said just before Spock and McCoy materialize on the planet

[@jasonluong3862]

This is one episode made for Shatner.

[@ricardogalvan1031]

TOS always had these silly episodes where everybody was a gangster, an entire planet of gangsters, or maybe romans, whatever. Though in fairness, Stargate SG1 did it too, like with that planet where the resident Goa'uld masqueraded as the devil, and the entire population was made up of medieval Christians.

[@KJTV67]

TOS did it first-and they did it best!

[@chrismulders2344]

Anyone wonder if Kirk checked in on them like he did with Khan? Vinnie!!!

[@MajorGrin]

he came back later to collect his cut. that's how he had enough money to buy a house (since starfleet never paid him money) . a private house with acres of land around it is extremely expensive on Earth since its population is nearly one trillion at that time

[@tonywebster8582]

@@MajorGrin Extremely expensive? How about on planets that 400 trillion people? Is land expensive there?

[@richardched6085]

@@MajorGrin i doubt it was a trillion lol. It was in the Billions range as of 2154 as Archer said he was trying to prevent the deaths of "Billions of people" at the hands of the Xindi Superweapon. With a thousand planets and Colonies it might not be necessary to have more than 10 Billion on the planet.

[@TheManWithTheFlan]

@@MajorGrin It's pretty unlikely that the Earth would be that heavily populated. The Eugenics wars had casualties around 30-40 million, and then WWIII had further casualties casualties of six hundred million and destroyed most of the world's major cities and left the planet irradiated, and then the planet rapidly re-industrialized and redeveloped with Vulcan aid, meaning that there was probably a baby boom followed by a rapid normalization of birthrates. Not to mention, with that redevelopment and the ability to replicate food on a major scale, it's very likely that much of the land outside of city centers was made available as it was no longer needed for agriculture. It's very possible that land outside urban areas is relatively cheap, or may not even need to be purchased at all, with ownership being determined by possession and use rather than title deed.

Love this episode, but it's so true that the Federation is probably pretty much like this with everyone when it comes to huge taxes and intimidation lol

[@Griff00]

they don't have money

[@TheManWithTheFlan]

Federation don't got currency dude, they could have a 500% tax rate it'd still be no taxes.

[@TheManWithTheFlan]

I mean, I guess they might impose tariffs for commerce with extra-Federation entities, but that's probably not going to affect the vast majority of Federation citizens.
