Nimoy sells the mind meld with the Horta so expertly #MeTVStarTrek

I like Spock's argument for saving the creature, though I have always wondered why he did not feel the same about the M-113 salt vampire a few weeks earlier! #MeTVStarTrek

Why does that hunk of Horta hide keep pulsating after it gets phasered off? #MeTVStarTrek

It's life, Jim, but not as we know it #MeTVStarTrek

It absolutely is... Strong story, amazing acting from Nimoy (and Shatner, in wake of his father's death), and a great articulation of Trek ethics #MeTVStarTrek

If this were TNG, they could just replicate all the pergium they needed... Unless maybe pergium is the essential element in replicator tech ;) #MeTVStarTrek

One of the few TOS episodes to start away from the Enterprise or her crew... The only other one I can think of offhand is "Tomorrow is Yesterday"... Are there others? #MeTVStarTrek

Oh, yes, Kirk's 23rd-century Samsonite #MeTVStarTrek

I hate to say it, but a blast of those Berthold Ray-loving spores sounds pretty good some of these days #MeTVStarTrek

"Who wants to counteract paradise, Jim boy?" #MeTVStarTrek

Mr. Leslie the mutineer! #MeTVStarTrek

One of the best tag scenes ever #MeTVStarTrek

Of course, it is a little disturbing that Starfleet has a "destroy the whole planet" directive in the rule book ... Sounds like General Order 24 ain't no corbomite maneuver #MeTVStarTrek

Ambassador Fox makes good! #MeTVStarTrek

No one blows up computers like James T. Kirk blows up computers! #MeTVStarTrek

It isn't one of the flashiest episodes but it is one of the strongest TOS morality plays of the week - it's good #MeTVStarTrek

Yeoman Tamura, in charge and taking names! #MeTVStarTrek

i.e., What does Kirk need with a starship? #MeTVStarTrek

Ambassador Fox has his picture next to "gullible" in Webster's 23rd Century Standard #MeTVStarTrek

The musical stings are working overtime in this episode #MeTVStarTrek

Mr. DePaul, now there's a guy who doesn't get enough love from the fandom #MeTVStarTrek

No muss no fuss #MeTVStarTrek

The Eminiar council has a real "We might turn into beings of light like the Organians at any moment" vibe going on #MeTVStarTrek

Not a bad one to get... The first original one! #MeTVStarTrek

Much like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree🎄 Ambassador Fox turns out not to be so bad after all :) #MeTVStarTrek

"I do not approve. I understand." Would that we all had Spock's capacity for nuanced and logical thinking! #MeTVStarTrek

All quiet on the Eminiar/Vendikar front #MeTVStarTrek

Armageddon always pairs nicely with Tranya, don't you think? #MeTVStarTrek

I like the moving monorail added to Eminiar VII cityscape in the remaster #MeTVStarTrek
