TOS Obsession transporter scene

A fragment from Star Trek - The Original Series episode "Obsession" showing capitans Kirk's transport just after an explosion on a planet surface.

I love McCoy's "Crazy way to travel--spreading a man's molecules all over the universe." Agreed.

[@msarzo]

Yeah I think I'd rather take the shuttle

[@porflepopnecker4376]

They make fun of him for feeling that way in Star Trek: The Motion Picture--shortly after two people just died tragically in a transporter malfunction.

I love how Spock is just touching some light bulbs.

[@victorwilson6826]

You weren't suppose to know that. It's easy to imagine a device that could disassemble a human body and reassemble it in perfect molecular order by using a few colored light bulbs.

[@sedawk]

So instead of trying again you just decided to post this?

[@pd209458]

The only Star Trek episode made mostly of flashbacks was "Shades of Gray" (end of 2nd season). It was due to 1988 writers strike. There is also a two-parter "The Menagerie" (TOS, 1st season) which heavily used footage from discarded episode "The Cage". But since "The Cage" hadn't been aired, from the vievers' point of view :) there was a brand new story.

Shock waves from the explosion.

You noticed that, too, huh? That sometimes happens when recording directly of the TV, especially when the TV station is lagging for whatever reason.

[@johnkern7075]

It was all of that cross circuiting that messed up the audio.

Fascinating. Our audio is behind. But it is not logical.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Merely a quite logical concern that Starfleet was in danger of losing one of its most proficient captains.

[@willynelson9595]

As a kid who watched the original Star Trek when it was live not a rerun, this was high tech. Of course, watching it on an 8 inch screen in black and white did not help enhance the “special effects”.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

Agreed--I remember how sleek and modern the show looked first-run.

[@Nonniemayrox]

kinda reminds me on how scotty locked his molecules inside the transporter to save himself and was able to time travel to the tng era. :D

Only Scotty!

[@ericsmith8373]

When you beam down, Captain, be sure to leave the bait far away from the anti-matter bomb.

[@TonyoTimes]

Scotty is a clever bloke though hey. :)

[@EnergeticWaves]

hey Charlie you left half my liver on the planet.

[@at90percent]

Yes, I know. I was alive in 1966. Automatic doors were not futuristic in 1966, they had them in supermarkets. As far as the rest of the stuff, I don't think they consulted scientists about those things. Scientists who were kids at the time grew up, then tried to make them into real products, such as cell phones.

[@pd209458]

It's kind of funny when a video you put on the internet to illustrate a nerdy argument suddenly after 6 years receives thousands of views and hundreds of comments because of google's Easter egg.

[@tjsogmc]

And 10 years more after that you can expect another wave of views and comments thanks to the KZbin algorithm 😊

[@UndesirableUK]

So, all I have to remember is "cross circuiting A and B" and I'm a super molecular scientist genius of the future.

[@jeffreyjeziorski1480]

Why didn't we think of that during all subsequent transporter problems??? During The Doomsday episode, Spock advised "reversing polarity". Should of just cross circuited to A.

[@AMC2283]

i love how after they beam up they just assume the creature's dead without anyone checking whether or not the antimatter worked.

[@dharmaseed]

Why is the dialogue muted?

[@at90percent]

My point about low tech minds, is they had no way of knowing in 1966 how sophisticated computer control was going to be less than 30 years later. Yet this is supposed to be so much further in the future. Manual control of the transporter by today's computer standards is just really low tech. I mean, we have computer controlled ignition in our cars!

[@jamesmurray3128]

Even in the 23rd century the basics remain the same. A and B.

[@orangie84]

actually its not the "cell phone" its the "flip" design that was created after the comunicator.. cell phones actually exsisted in the 60's the time the show was made.. (watch old japanese movies or any movie scene that shows a filthy rich person living in the 60's) They were huge ass devices with pretty much a seperate 50 pound battery. and you needed a huge car antena for it to work (they were car phones at that time) but you could use it (50 pounder and holding the antena) out of the car.

Wish you could have included another 5 minutes before this.... "Just one small ounce of antimatter. More powerful than 10 cobalt bombs. Let's hope it's as powerful as mankind ever gets!" GENE RODDENBERRY was a visionary from my native Texas. He wanted to create a "Wagon Train To The Stars" as a TV series. He succeeded beyond his wildest dreams...and civilization is the much richer for it...

[@at90percent]

You see that this high tech stuff was born out of low tech minds. All this high tech and they still have to manually control the beam up. Today they would have built in algorithms to handle the attenuation of the transporter.

They actually were. you should watch william shatners documentary on how star trek changed the world. It explains everything like how the guy who invented the mobile phone created it from watching star trek, mainly the communicators. also how scientific theories such as (for example) research into wormholes and the like were born out of peoples minds who watched star trek. hell i bet half of todays technology was created by ppl who watched and loved the show.

gates would have eventually made windows anyway. gates never actually used the altair 8800. he only called altair and told them he was interested in working with them and planned on making altair BASIC because they were the only legit computer company back then that could market it for him. computer technologies existed before the 8800, and gates was always interested. star trek had nothing to do with anything he did.
