Now, now. WHOM GODS DESTROY is a third season episode. Everybody knows third season TOS never happened; it was only a holodeck fantasy of Tom Paris’s.

What sucks besides The Way To Eden and a rumor that an episode called Spock’s Brain was shown in the third season?
As I’m still paddling down DeNial, I must assert that those actually episodes from the unusually long second season, which had…um…50 episodes. Yeah, that’s it.
As for Tom Paris’ fictional first season eppies, I give you TURNABOUT INTRUDER.
Do Vulcans rip the fingers, genitals, and eyes from their opponents as chimpanzees do?
Nah, just throw their crap at 'em.
Is it green?

Unless fighting an opponent with eyestalk, one attacks ocular units by GOUGING, not ripping.

Anywhistle, I said “strength,” not “personality.” Though I rather suspect primitive Vulcans undergoing pon far before it became so ritualized, did just that kind of thing.
Hey now, I’ve always liked WHOM GODS DESTROY, for Steve (Garth) Ihnat’s over-the-top performance. The ‘coronation’ is a highlight, where the crown consists of a circlet of sheet metal and the throne is a simple chair on a table. Yet all the while Garth keeps up the grandiloquent patter–“Since there is no one in the known universe mighty enough to perform this ceremony, we will perform it ourselves…”. Also the double round of golf claps given him by his motley crew was a delight.
That’s one of my favorite episodes from TOS. Garth is a great villain. I love when he screams “Remove that ANIMAL!” and Spock, depsire Spock being quite calm the entire time.

My god, it’s full of typos…
I recall in one of the TNG episodes, Worf recalled an incident from his youth as a human-family-adoptee on a human colony planet. He was joyful in being “the strongest boy on the planet” until he inadvertently killed a human boy – not even in a fight, but in a soccer match. “Humans are such frail, fragile creatures!” Which goes a long way toward explaining Worf’s grim, po’-faced personality – he’s the only Klingon ever portrayed in any ST series who never laughs! But it also assumes that Klingons are, generally, much stronger and tougher than humans.
That was in the DS9 episode Let He Who is Without Sin and he said he headbutted the boy so that doesn’t prove anything more than Klingon craniums being more resilient than human ones.
Since we are talking about star trek, that seems feasible
Spock’s Brain? One of the funniest of a great many Trek parodies - during the late 60s and 70s, when it seemed like the franchise was gone for good, there were almost more of these kicking about than actual episodes! What was notable about this one is how good the doubles were, and they got make-up, costume and sets exactly right too. I have it on tape - though I’d trade it for The Enterprise Incident any day.
