Just letting everyone know for at least the first season, the episodes don't match up with the Netflix numbers because they included the original pilot (or whatever technical term they use for it) so to line up....make sure you are looking for episode 10. 


Skip to 11:52 to skip the intro if you'd like.

LOVE TOS and Leonard Nimoy is the GOAT Spock! SO happy you're trying this. I'd love to see you react to the movies, too, At least the TOS ones. Let's hope you get to do that with C B S being the way they are. I recently watched an old Leonard Nimoy movie/TV pilot "Baffled" that I would enjoy watching you react to at some point sometime, too. Heehee.

First, you shouldn't be concerned about promoting your patreon. Your videos are great and worthy of supporting. Ignore the complainers. So TOS is just one of those things that I grew up with but was never a fan per se. I remembered bits of episodes from my childhood and I've watched the movies. So when you uploaded the old reactions, I watched the episodes on Netflix and I think it's maybe the first time as an adult. Wow. I was not expecting so much sex. I knew there were jokes about Kirk and alien women so I knew it would come up in some episodes. And I expected the attitudes to be of the time. But I was not expecting this. Hopefully it settles down a little bit, if only to give space to other stories. It is funny some of the 60s TV tropes that we don't really do any more. Like whenever one of the main characters (usually Kirk or a woman) is giving an "intense" look, we get a close-up where they've clearly lit it so there's like a band of light across the eyes. There's also quite a lot of soft focus close-ups of women. I do think I'm going to enjoy these reactions. I will certainly watch as long as you put them up.

Anyone else having a problem viewing this?

I was able to watch the original earlier today. I came back to see how people are commenting/liking and saw your comment so I tried the link I used earlier and it did not work for me. Looks like a second copy is up now though and that worked for me just now so maybe that will work for you.

Enjoyed the reaction. I think the implication at the end is that they used the machine to "fix" Van Gelder and the others that were affected by the machine before they dismantled it. Star Trek was based on the westerns of the 60s so Kirk as the lead had to "get the girl" so there's a bit of that but I don't recall it being an every episode thing. With TOS you have to look deeper at the moral of the story sometimes to get it. Most of the episodes do have a moral or statement in them, with this one I think they were trying to comment on prisons and psychological treatment and to what lengths should we go with that to "reform" prisoners. Also touching on scientists that are willing to go too far with their experimentation.

The South Park season 2 episode "Roger Ebert Should Lay Off the Fatty Foods" is based on this Star Trek episode.

The first ever mind meld, also interesting that he hooked up with a woman named Noel at Christmas.

2021-10-23 20:24:33 I first saw Star Trek TOS on the BBC when it premiered on 12th July 1969 - and was hooked ever since. There are subsequent some series I like & others I don't - that's the prerogative of being a fan. What may be of interest is that the show replaced patrick Troughton Doctor who on the BBC until Jon Pertwee started on BBC the next year. What I would say about this episode is - yeah we do have the "vaseline over the lens" shots (as quite a few of the early episodes do) but I would ask that you view these episodes in the same context as you have Classic Who - yes, attitudes were different in those days. The thing to remember is that Helen Noel is the one to alter Kirk's memories, not him. She says "I suggest now that it happened in a diferent way" etc, etc, It's Helen who's more atracted to Kirk, not the other way round - she's the one who alters his perception of the Christmas party. Anyway, so glad you generrally like these episodes & please continue to view & post.
