Truth

Thank you all for watching a classic episode, as we say goodbye to John Wheeler. He created a very memorable character. He'll always be with us when we watch this episode.

Can we talk about how the "Andorian" spy is wearing a straight up Renn Faire costume?

#TOSSatNight

This scene is one of my favorite Kirk strategic plays.

A solid demonstration of his tactical strengths as a captain.

#TOSSatNight

DC Fontana! A master of the craft!

Why in the world are Sick Bay systems not *always* on priority? WTF?

#TOSSatNight

I love Kirk diplomacy.

Uhura: The ambassadors are asking what's going on?

Kirk: Tell them to fuck off.

It's pretty magical.

I do tend to actively zone out while petting him and I don't think Klingons would approve, so...

That's a solid recommendation. They are an elegant arc of Spock's back story.

I really love that Spock is firm about regulations but is wildly dismissive of the risk of having a second Federation founding planetary ambassador die on his watch.

Like, that feels like it should factor into the decision, you know?

#TOSSatNight

I really dig the sparkly Ace bandage Kirk is rocking in Sick Bay right now.

#TOSSatNight

As an aside, nursing the baby while watching this episode. Which means intermittently, he breaks in with Tribble like coos.

#TOSSatNight

Okay, but if we turned command over to Scotty, he would shoot that alien ship out of the sky before commercial break.

#TOSSatNight

This is also what I was thinking!

Man, DC Fontana is incredible at setting up tension in a plot beat by beat.

Just a next level writer. We owe her so much.

#TOSSatNight

The hard cut to Kirk in a knife fight with the Andorian demonstrating his vaunted ass first style is deeply hilarious.

#TOSSatNight

I love that McCoy is capable of any and all medical procedures with basically no prep time under variable circumstances.

Put respect on his name!

#TOSSatNight

"How does that Vulcan salute go?"

#TOSSatNight

Rest well!

I really love these satin dress uniforms they have our boys painted into.

#TOSSatNight

Okay, but I do not approve of this Glommer based violence.

It doesn't belong on Star Trek.

#TOSSatNight

The B-plot of Dax being incredibly horny for the entire Enterprise bridge crew is making my day.

#TOSSatNight

A huge improvement! Thanks for the intervention!

I love this identity based triage to keep Worf safe from the tribbles, Odo suggests.

#TOSSatNight

Oh, congrats! Thanks for sharing your art with world!

And it's so we'll done, too! It's seamless!

Dude, this editing work is top shelf movie magic, y'all.

#TOSSatNight

Okay, but I needed this in my life. TY TY.
