That is awesome!

Like many old time fans I still have a crash on Laurel Goodwin- Yeoman Colt. Fun Fact in German they mistranslated YEOMAN as BOATSWAIN instead of PETTY OFFICER ( here: OBERMAAT as a Gerrman Nary Rank) the correct form is just used in a couple of STAR TREK TOS novels

I watched all the Trek from when it was first on TV as a very little child all the way to now. A lifetime of a great show!

I was the TNG generation. I thought I wanted to grow up to be a Picard. I ended up growing up to be a Kirk. TOS best Star Trek.

Love the spoiler warning for a well known 60 year old show 👍

Compare it to Lost in Space, or Batman for example. Star Trek was totally different to 60s shows, although a few episodes still fall into the goofy, campy.

LOL - In 64-68, as a USAF Communications Technician, I thought the electronics were hilarious, but was glad for the futuristic vision. However, tech has leapfrogged so often that videos produced yesterday are out of date.

Ehhhhhhh. I won’t yuck your yum but it was a good episode.

Definitely one of the strongest TOS episodes!

Bptj actors also had played in the first season in one or two episodes of 12 O´CLOCK HIGH, he as a pilot and she as his love interest and as a nurse - you can find the complete episode(s) on KZfaq.

@@rogerlynch5279 I started watching the "12 O'Clock High" tv series a few years ago. The 60's one that's part in color and earlier seasons in black/white. Not sure if they rebooted it or something but it's a great show, especially to see early roles for actors that went on to do other shows/Trek

It's not my absolute favorite, but it's in my top five and it did a hell of a job establishing the tone and themes of the series as a whole My faves in a five-way tie: The Menagerie (counted as one two-part episode) Balance of Terror WNMHGB City on the Edge of Forever Court Martial

What's really insane is who actually wrote that. Gene L. Coon.😂😂😂😮

I mean I’m getting used to 3 hours + of Orange River on his live streams…. 😂 great vid

TAS frickin rules

I don't give a damn, I think it's canon. As well as the series Star Trek Continues.

Rocks are the deadliest phenomena in space. Somehow they find their way into starship bridges an cause consoles to explode in bursts of steam and pyrotechnics.

I always think it is funny that he almost falls out of chair at the end of clip.

Thank you Odari! Can't wait for everyone to see it

Thank you!

I think it was a reference to the just broken sound barrier. That was when they had aircraft that exceeded the speed of sound.

@@palmercolson7037 No there were TWO ! episodes were the TIME BARRIER had been broken. TOMORROW IS YESTERDAY and ASSIGNMENT EARTH and don´t forget Kirk´s and Spock´s both time travels like in CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER - even though here you can argue the thing with the GUARDIAN had been different.

@@palmercolson7037 I agree, that was right at the top of peoples mind at the time. I do like that they decided to not say "light" barrier or something and leave it open to interpretation.

Haha thanks! If I spend an hour talking about a TV show I'm definitely going to share my opinions on its quality, but I'm glad you found it fairly balanced

Thank you!

The model creator was not part of the union.

Yes, that's correct. However, we still live in the present and things have occurred since the 1960s 😂

@@OrangeRiver Indeed. Too bad they had to denigrate the character as they have. Instead of a cool human who used the Kirk bluff (if it WAS a bluff) before he did, she is now an "enhanced" human whose presence in Starfleet diminishes her AND Starfleet. The Roddenberrys would have been mortified.

@@uranuslad9855Roddenberry was mortified about ‘wrath of khan’ so what did he know? And TNG only became watchable after it was wrestled out of his control

@uranuslad9855 She's not even human, she's Illyrian lol

I turn it around. with STAR TREK TOS on top, DEEP SPACE 9, STAR TREK VOYAGER, ENTERPRISE, and then STR TREK NEYT GEN.

Yes, I always had wondered about it myself but in many publications THAT came up as a point that VIEWERS especially FEMALE VIEWERS would hate Majel Barrett in that role. Lucky for us the skilled actress and later on second wife of Roddenberry made it back into the show as NURSE CHAPEL this time with coloured hair. She also had been the OFF VOICE for the Ships Computer.

@@rogerlynch5279 The "evil execs" story was publicised for many decades by Roddenberry, because it fitted his growing image with the fans. He may also have been the source of the claim that female viewers would hate a lady in the chain of command, but I'm not sure how well that holds up against other TV series in the 1960s with women in lead roles (The Avengers leaps immediately to mind). I'm glad that Majel got a proper second chance with Trek though, through the role of Lwaxanna Troi

Not only that Roddenberry also had turned Spock GREEN! with facial paint but the studio disagreed out of frear from racist viewers so the cuts so his face had been turned 'CAUCASIAN again in the photo lab.

@@rogerlynch5279 Do you have a source for that? According to "The Making of Star Trek", I know that in the early filming of "The Cage" that the Orion Slavegirl footage kept coming back with her being caucasian because the photo lab kept color correcting because they didn't know she was supposed to be green, but never heard that they color corrected Spock. It seems unlikely. It would have been quite difficult to change just Spock, they didn't have digital color correction back then, so it would have been very weird looking to have a color corrected Spock interacting with other characters. Also, not to defend racists but as far as I know, they don't have a particular problem with green people. I haven't heard of any fears that people would complain about the implied potential sexual relationship between a white man and a green girl, for instance.

please* Wouldn’t want to come across as rude or demanding. I absolutely love your channel; it brightens my day whenever I see you’ve posted a new video; your content is my happy place 🧡 🌍 🚀

Thank you!

I asked the same question…

Chapter markers exist for a reason! ;D

@@OrangeRiver oh I agree! You deserve the money for your work. I just thought it was funny that it came directly after "and with no further Ado" specifically

Haha, fair enough :D

It's more so an attempt to demonstrate how TOS laid down the groundwork for canon that the other shows picked up on. Trying to come up with a good title for a KZfaq video is a big challenge sometimes, so I wouldn't think too hard about it lol

Yes in PATTERNS OF FORCE

SNW should have done what all Trek prequels should have done: not feature any known alien species. SNW especially should only feature new species since it’s title is Strange NEW Worlds.

@@russellharrell2747 There are even plenty of existing aliens they could explore without affecting canon much. Tellerites got a BIT of expansion in Enterprise, but they could have been explored. But for something like the Gorn, where TOS clearly shows them meeting for he first time in Arena, it seemed like a really odd, tone-deaf choice ...

This comment is kind of condescending, no? Lol. I also if I have the option to show footage of the remasters that look objectively better, I'm going to haha

We avoided the nuclear war that occurred in the Star Trek timeline. And the Eugenics war. And I think a 2nd nuclear war.

@@Rocketsong Gary 7 failed to prevent WWIII in the TOS timeline. A possible scenario is that the Vietnam War escalated into a nuclear confrontation.

It's mid at best. The female being convinced by Kirk to disregard her love for Apollo for her duty to Starfleet is singularly unconvincing.

You may want to check your facts because networks had issues with women and black officers, especially as first officer and captain. There was even a scene where Captain Pike starts angrily screaming about women being on the bridge.

I did check my facts, since you decided to retype out my first sentence for some reason. Here are those facts: Herb Solow, vice president of Desilu Studios and Executive in charge of Star Trek, stated in his 1996 book “Inside Star Trek: The Real Story”, which was co-written by Bob Justman, that NBC “program head” Mort Werner said in 1966 that NBC “supported the concept of a woman in a strong leading role” but they had serious “doubts about Majel Barrett’s abilities to carry the show as it’s co-star.” After that Solow and Justman made the “decision that Majel had to go.” Werner also stated that NBC “applauded the attempt at a racial mix, that’s exactly what we (NBC) want.” Solow also stated that “as a matter of principle NBC promoted racially integrated casting in all it’s shows.” and “many African-American actors were interviewed,” and actor Lloyd Haynes was “one of the first African-American actors hired to play an important role in a network television pilot”. I’ve read Solow’s and Justman’s book a couple of times. Maybe you should do that too.

I also want to add this: Soloh said in that same book that Roddenberry "told Majel and then subsequently hinted to several journalists off the record that NBC rejected Majel for the second pilot because the network executives were sexist, not wanting a series star to be a strong woman. His move embarrassed NBC and later he denied ever making the statement. He (Roddenberry) conveniently forgot the NBC execs, for both financial and moral reasons, had always favored a strong woman as a series star. They (NBC) just didn’t want Majel, and they resented having her forced upon them for the first pilot."

Captain Pike didn't "angrily scream" anything. In fact, Jeffrey Hunter consistently underplayed the emotions of the Pike character in "The Cage". Here is the pertinent dialogue from that scene of "The Cage": (Colt enters. Pike turns around and bumps into her) PIKE: Yeoman. COLT: Yes, sir. PIKE: I thought I told you that when I'm on the bridge ... COLT: But you wanted the reports by oh five hundred. It's oh five hundred now, sir. PIKE: Oh, I see. Thank you. (Colt leaves the bridge) NUMBER ONE: She's replacing your former yeoman, sir. PIKE: She does a good job, all right. It's just that I can't get used to having a woman on the bridge ... (realizes his faux-pas) ... No offence, Lieutenant. You're different, of course. The implication is that Yeoman Colt, an attractive young redhead, is a bit of distracting eye candy whom Pike would rather not have to deal with while he's focusing upon running the ship. Number One provides no such distraction for him, and Majel Barrett as Number One nicely played off of this dialogue by showing a quick and very subdued flicker of hurt in response. It's all a foreshadowing of the third-act scene in the cage on Talos IV in which the Talosians present Colt and Number One as alternative choices from which Pike can choose his mate, since he has (in their estimation) already spurned the original female proffered by the Talosians, Vina. The Talosians spell it all out: VINA: It's not fair. I did what you asked. MAGISTRATE: Since you resist the present specimen, you now have a selection. PIKE: I'll break out of this zoo somehow and get to you. Is your blood red like ours? I'm going to find out. MAGISTRATE: Each of the two new specimens has qualities in her favor. The female you call Number One has the superior mind and would produce highly intelligent children. Although she seems to lack emotion, this is largely a pretense. She has often has fantasies involving you. PIKE: All I want to do is get my hands on you. Can you read these thoughts? Images of hate, killing? MAGISTRATE: The other new arrival has considered you unreachable but now is realizing this has changed. The factors in her favor are youth and strength, plus unusually strong female drives. Hence, Pike's objection in the earlier scene. In Pike's rather self-centered judgment, that hot young redheaded yeoman was giving off too many pheromones!

Yes, I think they released the original pilot on VCR tape around then--I remember renting it. It was mostly intact, but some scenes were in black and white and included a different voice for the alien. I remember that they had to reconstruct the pilot because some of the original was lost and had to include lesser quality copies. Similar to the reconstruction of the movie Metropolis.

Yes, for the 2nd season of TNG they began by televising "The Cage" before the first episode of TNG S2E01, hosted by Stewart.

Yeah if you just hear it then you believe it's pronounced ADONIS. But when you see the title it is ADONAIS

Thank you!

It's a thicc D'Vana Tendi.

It certainly is! With Kira next to her. (Oh yeah, and my custom-made D'Vana Tendi statue on the right lol)

Cool I have the same figure on my desk opened. She was my first on screen crush as a teenager. Now as a older adult I still think I was right. Terry Farwell was beautiful then and is still so today. @@OrangeRiver

Good, but not great.

Oh, wow! I didn't know you were a professional editor!!
