Star Trek - Violent Tremor

As soon as Kirk and his landing materialize on the planet, they are rocked by a violent tremor, as is the Enterprise itself (That Which Survives)

[@Spongerob0]

Spock's humor is the best. It just comes out of nowhere.

[@VulcanOnWheels]

It was unintentional, of course, but that's one of the best kinds of humor.

[@GestapoPussyRanch]

I hate when the occipital area of my head impacts the arm of a chair.

[@razormonkey5279]

I agree, very unfortunate event which can cause a planet to be gone.

[@jeffersonrundell7540]

[@platobach8309]

I love Spock’s response - it has a Leslie Nielsen-esque quality to it.

[@katarnfan]

"Mr. Spock! The planet's gone!" - the lady in the gold uniform says this, just as the lady in red leaning against the wall behind Scotty disappears in the next shot continuing mid-speech! A funny error that I have to wonder if it was left on purpose or not

[@superboats2]

"Not only is the planet gone, but the female crewperson that was standing next to the turbolift has vanished as well!" Remaining crewman, "O.M.G!"

[@monkeyboy4746]

The moving rocks are great, I don't remember them being used in any other episode, I bet the set really cost some money to build.

[@adisharr]

That was a lot more than I remember - usually it's just the camera vibrating with some rocks thrown around :)

[@sandal_thong8631]

I didn't notice them being that hilarious when last I saw this episode.

These episodes thrilled me back in 1974 at age 8 just like today at age 55.

[@tumadoireacht]

"a reading of almost immeasurable power"

[@78kokka]

Spock's explanation about his bump always makes me smile ... very IC, right?

[@Da_Publick]

Spock was probably the first Sheldon on television.

[@jean-louislalonde6070]

What do you expect? The studio is in California! They have quakes every other week...

[@domino20]

You would think with all the violent shaking, speeding up and slowing down from the speed of light they’d have some seatbelts on those chairs.

[@Gaelic-Spirit]

@@apsoypike1956 Do modern warships throw their bridge crew around violently on every mission?

[@domino20]

Well if the inertial dampers worked they wouldn’t be holding on to the furniture. And no, seatbelts wouldn’t do you any good at the speed of light.

[@kennethblack314]

It's too bad Lt. Rahda wasn't used more often after this episode. She was quite capable in her role here.

[@sartainja]

I liked her uniform.

[@CommanderBalok]

She caught a promotion and how has her own ship! :)

[@Slimjim260]

One of Lee’s best performances!

[@WayneKeen]

I actually rather enjoy this episode for some of the reasons that many sane / intelligent folks do not. I enjoy the somewhat snarky Spock in this episode, and his interactions with Scotty for example. There is a sequel book to this episode that I have not read yet...

[@mnirwin5112]

"A planet that even Spock can't explain!" Too bad Spock wasn't there to hear that.

[@blackspider9561]

Captain Kirk couldn't get his flip phone to work

[@blackspider9561]

1:10. This is what happens when you don't wear your seatbelts.

[@edmaphet6]

Arthur Batanides he was killed in this episode and he wasn't wearing a red shirt, But he was one heck of a good boxer in Police Academy and so his boy.

[@HailAnts]

Although I doubt they thought much of it at the time, that scene on the transporter was a first (and only) occurrence on TOS. It showed that you remained conscious and aware of your surroundings while being transported. In fact it showed that you could actually move a little while it was happening! This was never done again until the movies.

[@mikeysuzefour]

Lee Meriwether @ her best in this episode--"I must have Kirk!"

[@danbasta3677]

Third season episode, That Which Survives. Not exactly one of the best episodes in the third season, however, here are some trivial facts. DeAmato is played by actor Arther Borbatos, who played s gypsy in both The Wild, Wild West and Bonanza. He was Cyro in the episode Dark Star in Bonanza. Actress Lee Mariweather was in the Irwin Allen tv series, The Time Tunnel and was Barnaby Jones's secretary.

[@hungrydragonvsfrightendhob7799]

DeForest Kelley played in a lot of Westerns too. He was in Bonanza a few times too.

[@williamschleyjr7761]

And Catwoman from Batman the Adam West movie.

[@tomdumb6937]

Damato also played a caveman on lost in space...

[@skyhawk2958]

[@sartainja]

Mariweather was in so many tv shows.

Earthquake in space, that is almost impossible...

[@lazyhazeldaisy9596]

Why is it that whenever the crew beam down to reconnoitre a planet they never take any sandwiches and a flask of something!

[@EMSpdx]

They can beam down lunch!

[@Milnoc]

This episode had some very decent moments in it. The script and direction just needed a bit of polishing.

[@MaxwellsDemon9]

This episode has many excellences, like the poignant themes of the vanished civilization and the Commander's essence surviving to defeat a lethal defensive machine; and others. We see the mark of the great Dorothy Fontana

[@dbvander]

Those "rocks" were really moving, unlike the bridge...

[@scottgould6590]

Spock must take things so seriously haha

[@peterburke3944]

one of the only few eps where a blueshirt dies

[@KingOfHockeyNow]

“Mr. Spock, the planet’s gone!” And so is the lady in red behind Scotty! Lol😂

[@marcparella]

Mr. Hadley report. Mr. Hadley report!! Damn it, say something.

[@Grymmorgan]

Hahahaha! I was like,…"That _Witch_ Survives?" x^D

[@Rockin4D]

At first no red shirts were transporting down but as soon as I saw the woman right next to the red shirt working the transporter I knew what was gonna happen :)

[@AflacMan13]

A tremor so violent it shakes even the gravity well enough to shake a spaceship in space!!!

[@michaelpfister1283]

Ah. One of the rare Star Trek episodes where the “red shirt” character is wearing blue. :-).

[@annecohen8927]

The video should be renamed ‘In Total Isolation’

[@saripayne6143]

yeah, I thought that was funny, too. sooooo Vulcan! ha

[@spockvskhan4561]

The red shirt in the transporter was the worst dying scene in trek history.

[@georgemarsilio5122]

Agreed

[@RADIXCHRISTUSMOLE]

The whole episode was weak. It was from the third season.

[@WayneKeen]

It was also the longest time to dematerialize we ever saw.

[@KingOfHockeyNow]

Notice Sulu’s hair constantly goes in and out of his face.

[@TheBigExclusive]

They bring scanners, and weapons. However they don't bring food, or pack any rations in-case they can't return to their ship for an extended period of time.

[@leftcoaster67]

Pretty sure Starfleet didn't think a starship would go Poof!

[@WayneKeen]

I am pretty sure this was just planned as a quick look around, maybe an hour or two. That being said, we never saw any sign of emergency supplies of the type you mention ever even being thought of by landing parties, which does in fact seem something of an oversight.

[@davidcantey5016]

They could probably just contact the ship say beam me down a hamburger fries and a drink

[@patmischel6883]

Talk about being shoved away by that woman.

[@tomdumb6937]

1:28 Uhura asks spock if the magic has gone out of their affair...

[@dbentertainment9148]

Wow, good one.

[@majorlagg9321]

Hmmm...I( wonder who's going to die in the landing party.

[@StevenFeldleit]

I think Kirk is wearing something under his shirt to look slimmer

[@petejones879]

How would a tremour on a planet effect space above surely a tremour is caused by a reaction on the planet from it's core maybe?

[@smoluk1]

Don't you Hate when that happens.

[@domenicsandri2740]

It is not possible for the ship to shake, because of a tremor on a planet.

Crikey!

[@kingsman8475]

That was the worse acting by any red shirt. I give him credit that he kept his face lined with the camera.
