Star Trek - Back to the 20s?

[@jennifersman7990]

Kirk trying to drive was the funniest part of this episode. I think at one point they're about to go somewhere and Spock looks at Kirk and says "must we, Captain?"

[@Blazieth]

"Are you afraid of cars, Mr. Spock?" "Not at all, captain. It's your *driving* that alarms me."

[@rsprockets7846]

Predates Dixon Hill. Picard's. By a good 20 yrs

[@FS2K4Pilot]

“Captain, you are an excellent starship commander. However, as a taxi driver, you leave much to be desired.” “It was that bad, huh?”

[@vinista256]

So, if this episode was aired in 1968, it was depicting an era 4 decades earlier, and the equivalent now would be going back to the era of “Boogie Nights”. Suddenly, I feel very old.

[@edinscot56789]

The only thing Spock ever feared: Kirk behind the wheel.

[@BigMrFirebird]

Loved the blanked-out corner of the studio lot at 2:00. Classic and much-loved show.

[@FredPlanatia]

good catch. That was pretty glaring actually, but i hadn't noticed until you pointed it out.

[@spacesciencelab]

I didn't notice. Amazing that it was in studio.

[@IRMentat]

@@spacesciencelabhis is from back when studios kept actual costumes and pre-designed plots around for any common availability they may have. I’d love to see some of the classic “plots” remade in a museum style execution be it virtual, model or something you could actually walk around. Practical effects and the carpentry/trade/work of the golden age TV hold up remarkably well even when upscales or colourised like many of these shows have been over time.

[@spacesciencelab]

@@IRMentat That would be epic. It would be as close to time travel.

[@Shiirow]

I love this episode shows Kirk has never driven a car before but in the JJ-verse he was driving cars off cliffs since he was a kid.

[@possiblepilotdeviation5791]

One is Star trek, and the other is just wearing a skin suit to make money.

[@shneblyboy3604]

Driving "Stick" is a dying art

[@vinista256]

IKR?! And turning the key in the ignition will be soon as well.

[@lyianx]

And that that, driving THOSE is a very different experience than driving sticks today.

[@dedebones1967]

Kirk and Spock gone gangsta

[@brittanyhonaker8739]

They’re gangsta cool 😎 Kirk and Spock have the coolest costumes

[@jerrypaquette5470]

When they came out with that movie with the young James KIrk driving and being pulled over by cop, I thought about this episode. Something does not make sense.

[@unstrungstudios818]

One of the best episodes🍿

[@BinkieMcFartnuggets]

This plus all those Priceline commercials make William Shatner one of the greatest actors of our time.

[@brianwinters5434]

One of my favorite tos episode and so with many of my generation I am 64 episodes.

[@BobDiaz123]

Kirk was an excellent star ship captain, but he would have made a lousy cab driver. 😆😆😆

[@warrenpierce5542]

Two points, one museum's on Earth had automobiles, especially Duesenbergs, Kirk was from a small town in Iowa.

[@Mysteria388]

That car hovered and had many modern conveniences such as a telecomunications device and probably gps....this had an old fashioned clutch...Jim as a kid prolly didn't know how to use a clutch....or drive a really old car back from the 1920's

[@billyfoster3223]

A clutch pedal! Remember those, anyone?!😁👍🛠️🔧

[@sheltv100]

That was hilarious!

[@gtabigfan34]

Al Capone?Star Trek? WTF?

[@Slimjim260]

What a great episode! Where did the cars come from, bet they cost a bundle to rent them?

[@georgewashington8338]

wtf i distinctly remember the 2009 version he stole a classic convertible hotrod AS A KID...which should have been manual, and here he is struggling with this

[@epiendless1128]

So.. Spock was so traumatised by this incident that in later years be allowed Romulus to be destroyed just so Kirk would learn to drive as a child.

[@AshBob5000]

The 2009 movie is an alternate timeline.

[@johnilarde8440]

Ashton Withers There’s a reference in Star Trek Phase-ll (Web series) that Kirk stole a car during when he was a kid from the Prime Timeline.

[@hv3926]

Very good point. This alternate timeline really screwed things up. On the other hand, we only saw that that vette in high gear . Who knows how it had been rigged in later years?

[@M-David-Hakoh]

Apparently they wear the same size clothes

[@freakyflow]

Star Trek - Back to the 20s? - 1931 actually

Maybe it's just me. But watching Kirk confronting the mobsters reminds of Edward G. Robinson.

[@davidbecker8227]

So, how would Kirk know how to load, rack, and fire an early 20th century weapon?

[@Fedekpc]

in another episode they show knowledge about flintlock long guns

[@davidbecker8227]

@@Fedekpc I think aThompson machine gun is a little teeny bit different than a flintlock.

[@mr.ryceguy6854]

​@@davidbecker8227 if they have knowledge about flintlocks/blackpowder....... Then it is also plausible for them to know 19th-24th century weapons.

[@tlnn6598]

“.....take your close off!” .....Why Captain, I didn’t know you were that type of fella! 😎😎😎 All this time we thought you were a ladies man NOT a mans man.

[@vinista256]

Maybe he goes both ways 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@TheNecropolis20]

1920s at 2:11 to 2:32 O'Brian - Evening. Kira - I broke my nose 2:13 1920s people - the woman grunts "hmm?" and then grunts some ha ha ha laughter... O'Brian - I told you not to say anything 1920s Car Beeps Horn - Woman thinks these people are a joke my ride is here about 100 years later - back in the year 2024AD / CE - someone in a sanctuary city office then says Alright. B C says - i got one question for you two guys what are all these gimmes / give mes doing out here u guys ? Sisko - I DID , i invited him / this man here to help us BC. (2:32)

[@TheNecropolis20]

Getting back tot he 20s " title of this video" indeed.. its the 2020s.

[@juanmanuelpenaloza9264]

So no one cares that an alien in a suit is carrying a Thompson in a jalopy... Yep, Prohibition America alright.

[@SOCORROSILVA-in7px]

At approximately 0:35 and counting you will see that Captain Kirk has a gun and orders these two idiots to get undressed of they know what was good for them. Please do paste only positive comments over here. ©® November 13, 2020 @ 9:40 am ©®

[@Gexon1000]

That explain Bender got a machine gun to shoot them

[@chrisridenhour]

This episode was going to be the basis of Tarantino's Star Trek

[@johnklaas814]

Scottie beam me up!

[@johnklaas814]

How fucking primitive!

[@jonathanoconnor9546]

Nobody on Star Trek said Scotty, Beam up. "Kirk, here. One to beam up! Mr. Scott."

[@gilfer28]

The new Star Trek movie is a reboot or Alternate Reality concept.

[@brittanyhonaker8739]

You said it pal nothing but shit and Hollywood baloney and waste of money and people’s time

[@SOCORROSILVA-in7px]

@@brittanyhonaker8739 You took the words right out of my mouth. If I had to choose between the original version or the reboot version of Star Trek, with all due regard my vote is for the original version and not the reboot one. The reboot version is of JJ Abrams but the executive director and producer was, is and forever will be Mr Gene Roddenbery.

[@63someoneelse]

Bad boys bad boys Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do? When they come for you ? Easy ! I call captain kirk ! 😁💋🤗🤪 Ah ! Ils sont trop sexy ! 😊

[@FS2K4Pilot]

To be fair, most people nowadays would have almost as much trouble trying to drive a stick.

[@Jjj53214]

I wouldn’t want to put on somebody’s stinky suit.

[@Artifactsofmars]

Dies this fulfill the ST mission? No. Is it funny? It's hilarious.

[@georgewashington8338]

no it didnt hover....

[@SOCORROSILVA-in7px]

Does anybody enjoy very much watching this clip of Star Trek with William Shatner and Mr Leonard Nimoy very much? If so, please give me thumbs up. ©® Please think positive at all times. ©® November 13, 2020 @ 10:00 am ©®

Krik drives just like a female does today.
