Thanks for hanging a lamp on Kirk not knowing how to drive. It was one of the funniest moments in this episode, and one of many reasons I favor the original series to the Star Trek 90210 films.

This is one of my favourite tos episodes, glad to see you doing it! Great video as always ❤

One of my favorites too, I really like the idea of how a planet completely changed their culture due one book a ship left behind years ago. I also like the funny and hammy monster style in this episode

In Gene Roddenberry's original pitch of Star Trek to network execs, one episode idea was titled "President Capone," and is basically the premise for this episode.

This was fantastic, I always felt this episode was too campy and I always liked the more sci fi oriented episodes, but you helped me look at this one in a new light

Onironically my favorite episode. It may not be good, but it is funny. (And I have a t-shirt from it🎉🎉🎉)

1:58 So true! I hate Shatner with very much of my heart but I can't not adore Kirk most of the times😅
