The best thing about #StarTrek #TOS #TheAlternativeFactor is that this is Lieutenant Charlene Masters. She runs engineering during this entire episode, and her assistant is an anonymous redshirt. π ππβ₯οΈ
I used to find #TheAlternativeFactor to be dull but then I found the humor in it. The marathon continues on the free Star Trek channel.
I've seen a pic of Brown w/#Shatner, Kelley, & I think Nimoy all in costume at a lunch table. Script in hand, Brown looks like he's discussing character motivation, etc. He's learning the part as they're filming the sub-par script. "Big" was prob the only way out. #AllStarTrek #TheAlternativeFactor
He does look like a commanding presence. π

Mr. Leslie had three lines of dialogue this episode. He gets his best showing in the worst episode. #AllStarTrek #TheAlternativeFactor #Irony
What I don't understand is why antimatter Lazarus has to be in the alternate warp with the crazy Lazarus. Why not trap him in there by himself and blow up the thresholds? That got left out of the last draft.
#AllStarTrek #TheAlternativeFactor
Roddenberry: dammit, who exposed the film? This reel is useless! You know we don't have the budget for reshoots!!! #AllStarTrek #TOS #TheAlternativeFactor
So shouldn't Kirk have swapped places with HIS counterpart? #AllStarTrek #TOS #TheAlternativeFactor
Kirk: (to Spock) Do you know what you're saying?
Spock: No, actually. The words just came out of my mouth. You know how wacky I am.

"He's not going anywhere, not this time" is the second most popular famous last words after "Absolutely nothing can go wrong."

The promising young medic with the magic touch couldn't even be bothered to clean up the blood around Lazarus's mouth. #AllStarTrek #TheAlternativeFactor
Robert Brown was a much more talented actor than he's remembered for now. I bet it was exciting watching him on stage. He probably had an energy aura that extended out 30 feet or more. Woohoo!

How can Security declare Lazarus missing when they've never even seen the guy? #AllStarTrek #TheAlternativeFactor
I always hope Lazarus and Lt. Masters are finally going to get that romance they were promised. #AllStarTrek #TheAlternativeFactor
Betazoids? Western Union? The script? #AllStarTrek #TheAlternativeFactor
Imagine being a teen taking his behind-the-wheel exam just at the moment the gravimetric forces were disrupted and you have to convince the examiner that hitting the curb wasn't your fault. #AllStarTrek #TheAlternativeFactor
Trope Inversion: FOUR security guards wearing the red uniforms that automatically make them the target of every calamity that can possibly happen, and not one of them gets so much as a scratch. #AllStarTrek #TOS #TheAlternativeFactor
How could they know the "blink" occurred even beyond our galaxy? #AllStarTrek #TOS #TheAlternativeFactor
I know people rank this as one of the worst episodes, but I have always found the ending haunting.

Is it weird that the two Lazaruses from the different universes have the same hair styles and clothing?

Back to the marathon of #StarTrekTOS on Pluto TV on it's 2nd go-a-round. Watching #DevilInTheDark now. #ErrandOfMercy is good. #TheAlternativeFactor follows.
Red Alert: #TheCityOnTheEdgeOfForever a fan favorite Star Trek episode airs at 12:30 in the morning on the free Star Trek Channel.
I'm surprised no #StarTrek extended universe material ever followed up on the fate of Lazarus. Seems like it would make a good story. π€
