Star Trek: The Original Series Season 1

SPOILERS AHOY

---

201: Amok time 1967 September 15

Spock's surprised outburst of "Captain!  Jim!" has got to be one of his top moments on the show.

Also, Chekov.

202: Who Mourns for Adonais? 1967 September 22

This is an interesting episode concept, but admittedly I'm a bit of an ancient astronaut theory whore.  I can't help but think there should've been a way to reach a better outcome, but maybe I'm thinking too TNG here.  Apollo wants things to be as they once were, but if he could make a bit of compromise there'd still be a place for him.  Surely if knowledge of him got to the Federation at large there would be people willing to become voluntary followers.  Or he could've found new purpose with a non-human species, since he clearly has no equivalent to the Prime Directive.

Enterprise seems to have a knack for getting crewgals who fall for the wrong ancient guy.  This time one goes for Apollo, and it was just a few episodes back that one fell for Khan.

Also, Chekov is only 22?  Didn't realize I'd started passing up TOS Enterprise crewmembers in age.

203: The Changeling 1967 September 29

204: Mirror, Mirror 1967 October 6

205: The Apple 1967 October 13

(First watched 2008-03-19)  MORE flowers shooting people, this time with goofier sound effects.

Though as usual I disagree with Kirk that forcing the people away from their life was the necessarily right thing to do... in this case I think they were justified from a self-defense standpoint in taking out Vaal.  I wonder if Vaal's name came from Baal?

Again convenient that Spock is Super Vulcan.  Early on Vaal vaporized a redshirt with a lightning bolt, but Spock got away with second-degree burns.

Also, so nice of Kirk to say Spock looks like Satan.
