"Full astern! Emergency warp speed!" #AllStarTrek #TOS #BalanceOfTerror

Like any movie where a character is being chased by a car and runs down the middle of the street, the Enterprise could have avoided the plasma blast by simply moving out of the line of fire. Surely a master tactician like Kirk would have realized this. #AllStarTrek #TOS #BalanceOfTerror

Even if Spock were able and willing to tolerate it, Stiles' bigoted insubordination towards him would have had him up for disciplinary action in a very serious manner, possibly to the point of expulsion from Starfleet. #AllStarTrek #TOS #BalanceOfTerror

That's one thing I've never understood and always hated: the Klingons and Romulans can cruise through the respective Neutral Zones at will, but it's an act of war if Starfleet even comes close! #AllStarTrek #TOS #BalanceOfTerror

Lawrence Montaigne, Decius, also played Spock's rival, Stonn, in #AmokTime. #AllStarTrek #TOS #BalanceOfTerror

Since the Romulans have had no contact with the Federation for over a hundred years, it is impossible for them to have gotten a spy through Starfleet Academy, much less onto the Enterprise, the flagship of the fleet. #AllStarTrek #TOS #BalanceOfTerror

In the original script, Hansen warns before he dies that the Romulans used stolen starship designs to build their ship. This is why Stiles believes there are spies on the Enterprise. The part was deleted from the final print. #AllStarTrek #TOS #BalanceOfTerror

1994 (the year #NitpickersGuide came out) saw a LOT of syndication cuts on this one! 😲 #AllStarTrek #TOS #BalanceOfTerror

Some of her choices were odd though - like why did she get up and "fall" over to the turbo lift when the ship was going the other way? #BalanceofTerror

If only more of our own political, law enforcement, and military leaders were like Kirk #startrek #tos #thoseoldscientists #balanceofterror #kirk

Fan favorite #BalanceOfTerror is live now on the free Star Trek Channel.

Original post on mstdn.social

So... #StarTrekEnterprise, does that take place BEFORE the Romulan/Federation war, that war fought with nuclear weapons where they NEVER saw a Romulan ship, as described in #StarTrekTOS #BalanceOfTerror?

That seems implausible given how many ships and conflicts the NX-01 gets into (particularly […]

Angela seems to have moved on rather quickly from #BalanceOfTerror, but that was actually filmed 8 wks B4 #ShoreLeave, but had a much longer post-production period b/c of the extensive SFX.
(if stardates are to be trusted, SL happens more than 3.5 years later)
#AllStarTrek #TOS

This is a really dark episode. Just the idea that the writers set up this wedding in the prologue only to later kill the groom for extra drama. 😬

#AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTOS #BalanceOfTerror

Nice bit of foreshadowing with the mention of the Romulan ship having nukes for self-destruction. #AllStarTrek #BalanceOfTerror

Is it a Navy procedure that there's a chain of people between the order to launch weapons and the actual firing of the weapons? This system seems very inefficient to civilian me. #AllStarTrek #BalanceOfTerror

Actually, Dr. McCoy is unfamiliar with Academy slang (Capt. Dunsel). I'm not convinced 100% of each ship's crew graduated from the Academy. Officers, yes. Everyone else - medical, maintenance, supply and ship's services - not essential. IMHO, of course. #AllStarTrek #BalanceOfTerror

I find it hard to believe someone went through the rigors of Starfleet Academy to manage a bowling alley on a starship. #AllStarTrek #BalanceOfTerror 🎳🖖☺️

Interesting. Ultimately, however, what we have still works. Stiles is so filled with anger and prejudice that his leap to thoughts of espionage is easy to accept. #AllStarTrek #BalanceOfTerror

Since the Romulans have had no contact with the Federation for over a hundred years, it is impossible for them to have gotten a spy through Starfleet Academy, much less onto the Enterprise, the flagship of the fleet. #AllStarTrek #TOS #BalanceOfTerror
