It showed me in that one line that he was a Captain, and even a man's man.

Shatner can be great, but I feel that Nimoy was the glue that held the show together through some of its worst ebbs, and while I wouldn't rank this one as low as Spock's Brain, it's not great. <br /><br />Classic Who reused a lot of stuff too, most notably 'space hand guns' as you'll see the same prop weapon used from the 1st Doctor to at least the 4th, if not beyond! I don't knock this one too much for the reused props, but for the reasons you mention here Billie and Ben. <br /><br />So many of these episodes in shows like Star Trek and Doctor Who just feel like if they'd push it just a little bit further, a meh episode/story could have been good if not great, and this one has that feeling to me.Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-45266866726636660672023-10-04T08:30:45.722-04:002023-10-04T08:30:45.722-04:00Both of those are excellent, although Arena is my ...Both of those are excellent, although Arena is my overall favorite thanks to the Gorn!Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-42427890659273007372012-09-07T09:41:21.336-04:002012-09-07T09:41:21.336-04:00"Garth and Marta Destroy the Universe"

I raise my eyes.<br /><br />But, I'd like to point out 2 ep's that are still fabulous, event today. a) 2.6 The Doomsday Machine. Still intense, awesome musical score, and, yes, a stellar performance by William Windom (comm. Decker). And probably the one best served by the new CGI effects.<br /><br />b) 1.14 Balance of Terror. Submarine vs battleship in space.<br /><br />(a special note to, again, the music of 2.1 Amok Time, a classic)celticmarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018881585193380762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-43895400159708010712012-09-06T19:19:43.875-04:002012-09-06T19:19:43.875-04:004000 !!?

We're closing in on 4,000 reviews, if you can believe it. I've been writing since 1997, and guest writers have been contributing since 2005. It certainly adds up.
