Star Trek TOS: Doomsday Machine - Enhanced - Clip 2 of 2

The End of the Doomsday Machine - absolutely fantastic digital enhancements!

[@CaryCarpenter]

I loved Kirk's line to Commodore Decker when Decker says "We're going to turn and attack." Kirk says "Not with my ship you don't!"

[@jaimhaas5170]

Every bit as bad ass as anything Clint Eastwood has ever phrased.

[@gallery7596]

"Mr. Spock, relieve Commodore Decker. That's a direct order!"

[@AtsfMike559]

Yes; In 1994 at the Star Trek Convention here in Fresno, James Doohan was the featured actor. At one point he took questions from the audience, so I asked him which of the TOS episodes was his favorite, His reply was: "The Doomsday Machine. It was the episode where I felt like I actually done something for a change.....It started my reputation as a Miracle Worker..." James Doohan from what I saw was a very friendly, and congenial actor. A fine man who I will always miss. Mike in Fresno, Ca.

[@jenpeterson3712]

AtsfMike559 lucky you

[@warrenpierce5542]

Doohan was combat wounded on D-day as a member of the Canadian military. He never brought it up. I found out after he died. Met him briefly at a convention he was big and tall and very humble and nice.

[@spacepatrolman]

A cop in THE OUTER LIMITS

[@LoriCiani]

I went to a marathon Star Trek movie watch that happened, rather unfortunately, just after the death of Gene Roddenberry. They dedicated the night and morning performances to him. The showing was at the cinema where my ex husband worked and I got talking to a nurse from Paisley who asked me what I thought of Scotty's accent. I said that at best it was a bit west coast, she said she thought the same. She told me that at a convention she attended she had said so to James Doohan and he laughed because he thought it was a north eastern accent.

[@curtissmith1967]

Wow, a convention in 1994. Who would've thought. I went to one in NYC, maybe 1975. Way cool.

[@mikevonkleist6767]

My favorite episode. The writing, the acting. William Windam upstaging every scene he was in. I don't know if he knew how good he really was in that role.

[@guysalzmann9302]

Re: At the time don’t think so. In fact, he even said gave half ass effort. But think got enough positive feedback from fans over the years before his death that he realized he had given one of (if not greatest) guest performances on TOS. Agree?

[@navelriver]

My favorite episode too! Huge unstoppable machine looking like some creature and cool menacing theme music! Suspense and technically brilliant cinematography!

[@rafaserrano4441]

Yessss....he knew,,,,

[@rafaserrano4441]

Ok..... dude

[@guysalzmann9302]

Dude you forgot to mention the music by Sol Kaplan! For me and with everything else you mentioned really made it one of the greatest TOS of all time-

[@skippylance1591]

This is my favorite of all the Star Trek episodes, and not just the original series. Great acting, great drama, and Kirk at his commanding best.

[@leftcoaster67]

When I think of the episode "Relics" from TNG, then I think of this episode. There is no way Scotty exaggerated his repair times. He truly was a miracle worker with starships. He helped get the impulse drive wired through the warp drive controls. Kept the impulse drive working on the Constellation to the point it had shields, and phasers. On top of all that, he kept the transporter working on the Enterprise. If anything this episode was Soctty's crowning glory.

[@VaciliNikoMavich]

One THE best episodes from the original series, hands down!

[@3RAN7ON]

Man, when he stepped off the transporter pad and ran straight for the doors... You have to have a lot of faith in the stage hand pulling the Rope

[@StarWarriorCentral]

To quote Spaceballs, "The ship is too big! If I walk, the movie will be over!"

[@leftcoaster67]

If you notice he put his arms up in front of him. He was prepared.

[@jackp9122]

I’ve seen several bloopers where they DIDNT open the doors on time!

[@billmilano6246]

I remember watching that scene with my father, and my father saying "He must have needed to go to the bathroom.".

[@russellhare6498]

are you saying the Enterprise wasn't a real ship!!

[@evilkirk9360]

That is same music I play in my head when my mother in law comes over!

[@deacondavis5098]

EVIL KIRK HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@icbr]

Ready! Fire! Direct hit. Just bounced off. You mean you're the lunatic that's in control of my ship?! Get my ship of of there! You're talking to a commanding officer, Kirk. Fire! Get my ship outta there! My mother-in-law's approaching! I don't recognize you. Mr. Spock! On my orders as Captain of the Enterprise. Commadore, you're relieved of command. And in the name of mothers-in-law. Vulcans never bluff. No. I don't suppose they do. 'Cause you've never been married. Gentlemen. I suggest you beam me aboard. To kill your mother-in-law? Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott. Try inverse divorcing. Bridge! We got him through! We've saved the husband! Welcome aboard single husband. "Sigh" says Captain ex-husband. And no alimony! Hallelujah! Contact Star-fleet. Tell'em Decker was a prick. Nearly forced to stay married to that slut of his daughter. Finally free. Yessir Captain. Dah. Dah da da daaannhh! Created by Gene Roddenberry...

[@thealaskan1635]

It's like the JAWS theme.

[@thealaskan1635]

This is one of the best shows. David Letterman said Hollywood CEOs are pinheads.This is proof. NBC executives didn't understand this show and didn't like it. It pissed them off that the show got very good ratings the first year.

[@1bigleapoffaith]

The Mother in law theme. 😂

[@jackkitchen737]

Perhaps my fave episode of all time. I remember being mesmerized by the music and the danger the first time I saw this at the age of 6. And all of that still works for me now.

[@brianvincentdoucet4273]

I was at least 7 years old when I first saw this. I, too, was similarly mesmerized. And I didn't really become a Trekker until I was 12.

[@degsbabe]

Agreed with alot of other 'Trekkies'. Almost certainly my fav episode of the original startrek. All good in this- but i think William Windom as Commodore Dekker showed them how acting should be done. Brilliant and moving performance.

[@Roland-mb9ov]

The Particle beam transporter, the character Spock....Two elements which helped make Star Trek something other than just a run-of-the-mill action adventure series.

[@berserkley]

"Gentlemen...beam me aboard..." Pure cool!

[@jaimhaas5170]

The whole damn thing is beyond cool.

[@terrimichaels2554]

Spock was cool in the Captain's seat and after amok time too

[@jaimhaas5170]

Amok was another quality show...they had so many top notch stories

[@terrimichaels3018]

Captain Kirk stayed the course and kept cool but you could tell he was ordering the crew to beam him aboard or else 😆

[@TheLarryBrown]

@@terrimichaels3018 Yeah, or else HE'D BE DEAD! (Kirk, that is)

[@Planktontwo]

Ever notice how the music adds so much to the plot? It sounds like Jaws when you see the Doomsday Machine. That is funny. And Sulu counting down. How does it tick as he counts? Amazing! Great video! Great episode!

[@TheLocoUnion]

Jaws was lifted from Doomsday! 😎

[@piotrd.4850]

Remember, that then people still lived who remember watching and making movie where music was ONLY thing to convey tension, as movies were silent....

[@burkeofmellowpark3472]

The original had so much camaraderie, drama & humor. Not to mention space babes and fabulous intense music along with 'character theme music. ' That's what it made it so good.

[@jaimhaas5170]

Even the music for transport is amazing. Absolute genius the musical composer.

[@joaopaulodelimacapela3317]

Alongside with 'Balance of Terror', my favourite episode ever !

[@gk10002000]

I rate the Changling with Nomad right up there also. "Captain, your logic was impeccable.. we are in grave danger"

[@jimtuck1958]

City on the Edge of Forever. The Mudd episodes. The Trouble With Tribbles. So many more...

[@rangeclerk]

Was looking forward to this enhancement; and was not disappointed. Am an old ST fan as was born in 1951. Remember when ST first aired and was very pleased to see an intelligent SF show on TV for a change. Gene, Majel, DeForest, James; I met all of them at least once and in some cases twice, you are missed.

[@Crispy99999]

2:00 "Gentlemen, I suggest you beam me aboard..."!! Best line ever, best timing and best delivery EVER!

[@michaelbarlow6610]

@ Crispy99999. You forgot to mention the great look on William Shatner's face as he says, "Gentlemen I suggest you beam me aboard!" Shatner is an outstanding actor!

[@robertpreston2220]

He was warned about the transporter yet acts mad when they cant beam him over lol

[@dirdib69]

It's been much spoken of, but I loved the 360 views we got of the bridge in this episode.

[@dcdrew3]

That last seen of the Constellation going in! It's like, Thank You Constellation for saving billions of lives!

[@DavidRLentz]

"The Doomsday Machine" is my favourite episode in all television. William Windom's performance was the most gripping for episodic televi- sion I can recall. Sol Kaplan's score ranks amongst the very best in all categories! William Shatner was his most commanding.

[@roblabow9702]

One of the best in Star Trek.

[@masterblaster3914]

THE best episode in my opinion. CLASSIC!

[@jimtuck1958]

Steve, only "The City on the Edge of Forever" is, imho, better.

[@markforster6457]

"Matt! There is no third planet!" "Don't you think I know that? There was, but not anymore!"

[@jessefrankel2055]

Mr. Kyle's finest moment. Everything about this episode worked, from William Windom ad-libbing for most of his performance as a futuristic Captain Ahab to the stirring musical score--the trumpets, damn!--to the damn windsock in space getting blown to hell. My favorite episode of all time.

[@chrischoin7402]

My favorite episode when I was a kid. I couldn't wait for the re-runs of this

[@kevinmartz3082]

Reruns- before streaming and not having to wait. It made the suspense build much more effectively.

[@blacksteel965]

The Doomsday machine is the greatest Star Trek episode ever. " Jim..you'll be killed. Just like Decker" is one of the most classic lines ever.

[@heedmywarning2792]

"Bridge, we got him through!" even so, the next line should have been.... HAND ME YOUR AGONIZER!

[@edmdotmp3]

"Your agonizer, *please*"

[@tinafoster8665]

I FORGOT about that, lt Kyle was pretty slow there, maybe a few seconds of THE AGONIZER might quicken his step hehe

[@kevinmartz3082]

I get it!

[@tkslan00]

Thanks for posting. I know its enhanced, but you left out the best quote from Mr. Spock in all of Star Trek: 'Mr. Scott?, Mr. Scott, Try inverse phasing". :)

[@jaimhaas5170]

Best acting by Mr Kyle. He should have won an oscar for that scene!

[@joeavent5554]

I was five years old when viewing this episode and I recall pressing into the sofa cushion whilst this scene played out. The music played a great deal in my fear for the Enterprise and Capt. Kirk surviving.

[@MrMaenambeach]

No one ever mentions the amazing soundtrack of Star Trek. There is some unsung genius to be recognized.

[@KrankesDasein]

I am in no way a Star Trek fan, but I have to say the actual Doomsday Machine is one of the greatest fucking things I have ever seen.

[@DWNicolo]

Amazing show. Forty years old and it still rocks.

[@Decopainterandtea]

55 plus now. I had just realized your comment was 14 years old when I "liked" it. Thought I'd comment on it anyway!

[@texasrockshillcountry6574]

That was one of my favorite episodes! It parallels "Moby Dick"!

[@Fabi1701A]

“ gentlemen I suggest you bring me aboard!,,, “ my favourite line and look on his face ... 💪❤️

[@gregsmall5939]

I liked the fact that the VFX team replicated the "wobble" of the Constellation model. A by product of a hastily constructed AMT plastic model on an improvised stand, in the original. But it gave the feel of a crippled ship, barely under control.

[@stevencohen624]

I have to hand it to the Constellation. As damaged as she was she still managed to deliver the death blow to the planet killer.

[@terrywest111]

Constitution Class ships were like tanks. They could take a licking and keep on ticking, with a good crew manning them.

[@OpenMawProductions]

Tom Evans Well, above and beyond that. Decker wasn't totally wrong. He was thinking of the greater Federation in trying to pursue the DM. Even if it was foolhardy and coming from desperation/emotion over the loss of his crew. Decker was not just a typical "Crazy brass" of the week. He had some depth.

[@SovereignStatesman]

+Steven Cohen That's why Star Trek is better than Star Wars.. their guns don't miss, and their ships don't blowup with one shot.

[@SovereignStatesman]

+OpenMawProductions Most TOS plots had depth, vs. everything that came afterward. That's the thing about TOS, it was too deep for the average audience.

[@tryarunm]

I disagree. Decker had no depth, at least not at that time. He was a basket case. Considering his rank he ought to have been on the brains trust, using his superior rank to insist on piloting a bomb-laden, self-destructing Constellation into the DM. His futile attack on the DM and his pointless, wasteful suicide reveal that he was long past sanity.

[@3Rayfire]

"It is quite dead." A deeply relieving statement after this episode's events.

[@jessfrankel5212]

Great suspense, acting by the entire cast--particularly William Windom who ad-libbed a lot--and the music was incredible. This score was re-used in subsequent episodes, but here it's incredibly effective. My favorite episode of any televison show--ever.

[@jaimhaas5170]

You have very good taste Jess.

[@michaelwhalen2442]

Another vote for favorite episode here. Only one thing though… If the hull of the machine was indestructible and the explosion was 97 mega tons, wouldn’t the shell of that thing be zipping across space? The opening was like a nozzle on a jet engine. I’m no physics major but still…….

[@Thesmokingman64]

Yes william Windom was good in this role. He was also good as a villain in an episode of Banacek. He was good on murder she wrote as Seth. He was just a good actor whether as a good guy or villain.

This is my favorite episode.

[@Spacejockey426]

"You're bluffing." "Vulcans never bluff." "No, they don't, do they?" This is one of my favorite episodes of the 79 that were the amazing, original and never duplicated original Star Trek.

By far the best episode. William Windom as Decker was top notch.

[@aleisele1517]

The Galileo 7 and Balance of Terror were right up there with the Doomsday Machine

[@agwhitaker]

There was 'Tomorrow is Yesterday' ..... also worth re-watching. T.O.S. had some cheesy props - but the story writing and plot were usually pretty good.

[@fromthesidelines]

It wasn't the special effects, original or remastered, that made this episode- it was Norman Spinrad's script; the way everyone [including William Windom] interpreted it, and Sol Kaplan's nail-biting score. This is a "textbook" example of what the series should be...and I'm sorry Spinrad didn't write more for the show.

Don't get me started on an old 'Space Opera' style concept I had for Star Trek decades ago. BUT That would have ben epic wouldn;t it? Later in ST:TNG era... Voyager comes across a damaged Borg cube, (not the weak Species 54389 whatever) concept) which is where they take on board 7 of 9 eventually. Find it has been damaged in an attack against a DoomsDay machine, where they discover that the one in ST:TOS was a seriously damaged version under going self-repair. This machine (and its ilk) being an enemy of the Borg (but, their own long stime systemic damage, the Borg can not determine why, they just are) Further investigation, and working together, data is established... the machines are out to simply destroy life.. all life.. any form of entire,, and/or hybrid life forms. And a translated name for the machine is found, just before it is destroyed as it communicates and identifies itself... "Only Good-life will be temporarily accepted. All other will be destopryed without fail. We are the... BERSERKER" [ And if it was done in tradition TOP/TOS style, I suspect Fred wouldn;'t mind, just as Blish didn;t mind concerning his MArtian FlatCats]
