Star Trek - Galileo Seven - Spears

[@goldenagenut]

One of the coolest episodes! I love how Spock just can't understand why they don't act logically! 🤔

[@williamkoppos7039]

"Not very efficient" As he yanks it out of the spare crewman's back , covered in ketchup.

[@MrPatrickworthington]

Yeah, and the spearpoint was styrofoam or wood by the look of it.

[@tomsha8800]

One of the Best episodes. Scary when you think of what creatures might be in the universe. Best Wishes. Sincerely, Tom

[@MrPatrickworthington]

No one ever seems to notice how many times Spock gets angry and starts yelling in this episode.

[@excellNexcel]

When Spock fired his phaser at the shield of bigfoot at 1:20, his phaser generated a temperature of 8000 degrees centigrade - that's enough heat to easily disintegrate the shield. The idea that a stone age shield can stop a 23rd century weapon is bad writing.

[@randymillhouse791]

Perhaps you should retire. Americans don't think much because they are poorly educated. Further, this show was created and only approved because the OWNERS of the USA thought it would help to advertise their products. Once it is understood that we are being manipulated by entertainment the REAL REVOLT will happen. But humans are too stupid to take action. So I just laugh.

[@danthemankhan]

Anything that hot would most likely kill the person operating it as well, though.

[@excellNexcel]

@@danthemankhan In the episode "That which survives", Kirk mentions the temperature limit for a phaser at 8k degrees- can't recall if it was Celsius or Fahrenheit.

[@zorkmid1083]

I think his phaser was set to stun at the time. He was too focused on trying not to kill them.

"The Galileo Seven" is one of the best episodes of the original Star Trek series. The furry, humanoid giants roaring like Tigers and throwing telephone-sized stone spears is just what might await humanity when we explore the stars. Spock does his best (logically, of course) to find a solution while keeping the monstrous natives at bay ( which wasn't entirely successful). Spock: "A most illogical reaction. When we demonstrated our superior weapons, they should have fled." McCoy: "You mean they should have RESPECTED US?" Spock: "OF course." McCoy continues to note that the emotionally unpredictability of the creatures is the reason why Spock's logical assessment of their situation failed, hence the choice he made to jettison the fuel hoping someone (like the Enterprise) would see it. Sometimes Spock had to rely on his human half, although he was reluctant to admit it. Fascinating episode, full of tension and adventure!

I'm surprised the speared guy wasn't a redshirt!

[@frankpalancio8471]

I thought the red shirts were the cannon fodder on original trek

[@panicmaker8300]

not in this episode

[@randymillhouse791]

All humans wear red shirts in 2023. Shooting sprees EVERY GODDAMN DAY IN THIS HELL HOLE USA.

[@harrykadaras9459]

The concept of "giants" has been one of Man's most primal fears going back millenium... which means there's gotta be some truth to it

[@pinksparkle1965love]

Best show ever ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆❤

[@leftcoaster67]

So weird reverse video with the insignia on the left side.

[@curtisx.732]

Out of this world special effects!!!

[@callaway19647]

3:04 lets just have a casual conversation standing outside where there are bigfoots with spears afoot

[@oldgoat142]

Okay, at 2:51, whoever chucked that spear would've had a lot of explaining to do since it almost clipped Mr. Spock for real. At 2:44 as well. Either that, or he's really accurate as to where he wanted it to go. Good episode, as are almost all of TOS.

[@williamkoppos7039]

Yeah man I caught that. Another 2 or 3 inches higher and Nimoy would have caught that one in the Noggin.

[@oldgoat142]

@@williamkoppos7039 Yep. He might've had a bad day.

[@randymillhouse791]

Have you ever kissed a girl?

[@oldgoat142]

@@randymillhouse791 That was a nice SNL skit with Shatner when they were still reasonably funny. Yes I have. Still do, and the genuine article with the XX in the chromosomes.

[@dianewilliams1125]

I blew out my back and feel like the guy who got the spear in his😮

[@ynp1978]

lol.. Sorry to hear that.

[@Mlogan11]

The guy who was "trapped" between the rock wall and the giant caveman alien could have lived if he kept his wits about him. The giants were clearly huge and strong, but slow and susceptible to being juked.

[@chennygrapes]

I never understood why he didnt run

[@netsurferWorkman]

Because it wasn’t in the script

[@StrangeFacinations]

His face is like the guy about to be assimilated.

[@mikearmstrong8483]

Soooo......after being hit in the wrist with a rock, he could still try to climb the rock wall but he couldn't pick up his phaser with the other hand?

[@ardiekepoo744]

⁠@@mikearmstrong8483 He lost his weapon in the low lying mist hovering above the ground, he couldn’t see where it went. And he was in total fear and panic… you can’t think straight when you’re rattled.

[@Wizardof]

Sounds like the Enterprise transporter got stuck in operation!

[@mattmichael6792]

If you got hit with a projectile that massive, the force of it would instantly knock a person completely flat

When anyone gets stressed they become racist toward 2:05 Spock.

[@MrPatrickworthington]

Yeah, he gets called half-breed or half-human a lot.

Help meeee Spock!🤩🇺🇸👍

@ 2:59 same foam boulder from "Arena?"

[@richkeeney4744]

I wonder if Gaetano felt like the fresh meat white guy that just got thrown in Cell Block D.

[@randymillhouse791]

Appears many of these scenes were filmed in London.

[@osomartinez]

how primitive are these people if their shields can deflect phaser fire?

[@WilliamKShank]

Phaser was on stun or a low setting. Shield was strong enough to take the phaser fire. If the phaser was on full it would be a different outcome. Safe Journey! CHOLULA!!!

[@subaruthug]

Spear comes from the left, Spock turns to the right and fires?

[@jamesschenk]

Poor guy in the gold shirt gets throttled by giant caveman what way to go I only thought red shirts die

Why is it reversed?

[@cha5]

To keep it from being removed by a copyright claim I’d guess, it makes no sense to me either.

[@thullraven1]

@@cha5 I wondered. I see a lot of videos that way. It's stupid.

@@des_smith7658 because if you're going to show it, at least show it correctly.
