MEGO STAR TREK - "ARENA"

Watch as Mego Kirk battles against Mego Gorn in this classic TOS episode "Arena"

[@johnharrison6745]

The Gore-n's voice and slow movements give me the impression that he's a HEAVY SMOKER. 😉

[@g.i.joethelostchronicles6807]

He sounded like my chain smoking grandpa drinking his coffee.... LoL

[@mp-kq3vc]

What I love about these... does the story hold up? Is it a good story presented in a new way? Yes. The stories hold up. That's the magic of Star Trek, especially the original. What's done here is so much fun. I could rewatch entire seasons done like this. It's a pretty great idea and well executed.

[@g.i.joethelostchronicles6807]

Wow!!!! Thank you sooo much for the awesome comments!!! These are a lot of fun & have endless possibilities!!! I did "Mirror Mirror" & "Amok Time" will be released in a few weeks!! Thanks for the sub & stay tuned my friend!! 🙏🙏🤘🤘

Perfectly stated. I too, would watch, over and over, all 79 Mego Star Trek episodes.

"Gorn? So we meet a new race?" 'Odd... the logs have records of several encounters under Captain Pike...' 'Ignore those.'

[@g.i.joethelostchronicles6807]

Hmmmm🤔🤔

[@wastedproductions45]

The gorn was known about before, maybe if you watched SNW you'd know it was explained that many don't live long enough to actually see a gorn in person. Kirk being shocked by its appearance still makes sense

[@g.i.joethelostchronicles6807]

@wastedproductions45 Cool fact!! Didn't know that

[@brunozeigerts6379]

@@wastedproductions45 Seems like New Voyages is retconning the Gorn into Trek history. Everything in Arena suggested an encounter with an previously unknown race.

[@B9M3]

@@brunozeigerts6379 I don't consider anything as canonical starting with the 2009 movie. This little video is far more Star Trek than anything coming out on Paramount +.

Great writing. The Kirk, McCoy and Spock dynamic was superb, and gave depth. Aside from the stories and geberal optimism, that may be classic Trek's legacy. The people who made classic Trek put their heart into it.

[@g.i.joethelostchronicles6807]

@acm4147 100% AGREE!!!

[@swamihuman9395]

- "GOOOOOORN!" :) - Watching this episode as a kid, I easily/willingly suspended my disbelief, and imagined the Gorn to be an actual alien creature (stilted movement and all), not a man in a costume. - Thx for allowing me to relive the fond memories

[@madmanmark8387]

It's my favorite Star Trek episode. Hey, that's Alan from the planet of the apes as the Metron. A nice edit of straight to the fight scenes. Scene for scene was incredible. I wish I had my figures from my childhood. I had 3 captain Kirk's. One of them had a broken leg. My grandfather put a screw in between, and I kinda made him like a bionic man but one leg only, hahaha.

[@g.i.joethelostchronicles6807]

Actually, I used an Aquaman... LoL!!! Thought he looked pretty good. I also used Aquaman for the Hulcan council in Mirror Mirror ... LoL

[@suzanneroberge494]

And for anyone who hasn't seen it, there's a you- tube video with William Shatner & the Gorn recreating their fight now. They're watching TV together & it involves pillows. But it's a great re-creation & funny to watch. Sorry I can specify the actual channel id.
