Fascinating...

He also voiced Tremayne's father in "The Squire of Gothos."

very interesting.. indeed.

@@SuperMagnetizer Doohan was a great voice actor, but Bart LaRue did Trelane's father as well as the Guardian of Forever and several other classic voice roles in ST. Doohan himself admitted he didn't do Trelane's father. He would know since he would have been paid more for it. ;)

Did he also provide the voice of the Melkot in SPECTRE OF THE GUN?

Indeed. It was very distinctive, and the instant you hear a few bars of almost any of the music they used from this show you can recognize it. How different from the bland music of TNG. Apart from the opening theme (which TNG can't claim credit for, as was recycled from Star Trek: the Motion Picture) I doubt I would recognize a single note of the music used on that show. It was completely unmemorable. This was by design. After Dennis McCarthy composed some fairly lively music for a couple of early episodes, Rick Berman came to him and told him "I don't want music in our face, I want it to be wallpaper." What an idiot. This is yet another reason I hate Rick Berman (and Brannon Braga). Think how many scenes in movies and television are _made_ by the score. Imagine Star Wars (the original trilogy, of course) or Superman: the Movie or Jaws without John Williams' music, or Conan the Barbarian without Basil Polidouris' epic soundtrack. Star Trek TOS had some incredibly good music for a TV show, and it was a huge part of the show's greatness. Figures a hack like Berman wouldn't get that.

Absolutely...the music is wondrous 🙂

Shatner always over-acts his part and it looks pathetic!

@@redblade8160 He's like a parody of himself. But it was great fun to watch. The emphasis on fun...

@@redblade8160 He's one of the finest actors ever to put on the uniform. Right up there with Sir Patrick Stewart

@@redblade8160 weird, he doesnt over act on that law and order show when he is the legal aide. In fact, he was very reserved and professional.

@@redblade8160 Have you made more money than him acting? How many hit shows do you have? How often are you asked to speak at conventions. Seems to me that he did something right.

Star trek theatrical plays could be really grand and spectacular with modern stage tech...on stage holograms and projections and really cool dune style costumes and Shakespearian dialogue but a little dumbed down...would be perfect for Jean luc picard (Patrick stewart) he can play an wise old man character or himself as admiral in the future and explain it all with Dimensional travel

Ken W. You must be joking, many Star Trek stories were so ridiculous that they were embarrassing to watch - even the cast members admitted this!

So, Sargon was responsible for life on earth/ Vulcan ?.

Back in 1991-2 when there were only 1 episode per VHS tape, I bought my favorite 27, or 1/3 of the series. So I put money where my mouth was, by saying those were really good.

@@redblade8160 You'll be telling me that the Tribbles weren't an epic work of Shakespearean proportions next ! 😲

@@redblade8160 ; When it was on its game, original "Trek" was terrific. But with the chemistry of Kirk, McCoy, and Spock to carry the episodes, even the misfires weren't a total loss.

She was in another episode as a blind woman, who Kirk and others couldn't help saying she was so beautiful.

She posed for Playboy in the early 70's.

I remember that.

There was really no other way to portray the bigger than life Kirk.

comparatively that Vulcan death grip scene is pretty close

Well...we can't do 1% of the stuff Sargon can and we pretty much think we have total dominion over the earth...and then a tornado or hurricane or earthquake or tsunami or mudslide or volcanic eruption shows us how NOTHING we are.

Just came from an analysis of George Duning's score of "Metamorphosis." It reminded me of the music of this episode, which he also composed! But I much prefer one of his love theme cues from "Metamorphosis" being used again in "The Gamesters of Triskelion," which also reused the famous battle theme from "Amok Time."

She sure as hell was!

heresthadude1080 : I agree!!! I'm sure that's why Zargon selected her.

One of the hottest on that show, and that's saying a lot..

She looks like... Dr. Pulaski in TNG.

@@corbin_4738 Yep! That was old girl in her prime!

Still alive, and still beautiful at 84

@thunderbolt2145 thanks fir the correction, I'd heard she had passed.

Diana Muldaur was the sister-in-law of singer Maria Muldaur, who had the hit song, Midnight at the Oasis.

¡LOL!

6,000 centuries later.... Kirkgon!

Why do you must use capitalized letters? Don't you realize that by using the capital letters that you are telling everybody: "Please do not bother me for I don't want any more friends whatsoever!"

This is really the only comment necessary

Seriously underrated comment. Nice job.

Maybe it was to feel new things and taste new items that wasn't realized before. Please have a nice day. ™ June 26, 2023 @ 7:00 pm ™

Maybe to get out of this crappy sphere?

Ohhh! So, sargon is not inside the receptacle but instead he's inside the light bulb.. just asking ? Ha! ;-)

No. The actress is Diane Muldaur!

Life can be very cruel, but please continue to bravely hang in there.

Bless your heart for hanging in here The children and the grand children are what keeps me going on they are the raison d'etre for me. Merry Christmas to you and yours God bless you and keep you all safe.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ you sound very cool

If Sargon's people were so advanced , why didn't they make clones of their former bodies ?.

And, an obsessive ham at that !

@@SOCORROSILVA-in7px Dude you need to wake up, take off your pampers and discontinue with the hyper-sensitivity drama syndrome. Get over yourself best you can. Obsessive Ham is not a name, its a classification. You need to bone up on english syntax and terminology. Obviously, you have insecurity issues worse than Shatner! When you know who and what you are in this world and beyond, names are insignificant to the power of the force. At your leisure, put that in your pipe and smoke it.. Cheers!

George Duning’s wonderful music recycled from “Metamorphosis”.

Are you claiming that the Bible is based on reality? No it is not. The Old Testament is Bronze Age mythology of desert-dwelling tribal people. The New Testament was written by people who never met Jesus and lived well after he died. And his words were chosen in such a way as to prop up whoever was in power at the time. So no, the Bible is not based on reality, and apparently neither are you.

Which song?

Hey do we have the technology and stuff I got in which you guys got to go back three spaces

Yes, the actress is Diana Muldaur, who appeared once more in the original series as Dr. Miranda Jones (“Is There In Truth No Beauty?”)

As long as the phaser is set to stun, that might not actually be a bad idea to shoot at Kirk’s body given that these god-like beings are unaccustomed to feeling pain. They could be prod to leave upon demand.

bobby anderson : I grew up on Star Trek TOS. Gene Roddenberry was very concerned about race relations and how stupid racism is. This is evident in the episode ",My This Be Your Last Battlefield!! LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!!!

Still, if only Jeffrey Hunter hadn't gone to do movies in Spain, he wouldn't have had his brain injury that months later cost him his life. There likely wouldn't have been a Captain Kirk, unless the name was recycled for another starship captain or character. Maybe Shatner would have played a guest star in one episode who fights Captain Pike in hand-to-hand combat, like if he'd played Gary Mitchell in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" to Hunter's Captain Pike?

what's on your mind? 🎶 😁

I caught that too, thinking of the song that used Spock's line, "pure energy."

It is

Reconcile?

But she didn't look half as good at that age

That statement was from the movie, _Cocoon_ with Wilfred Brimley I believe after they go for a swim in the healing waters.
