Are you suggesting it’s more likely that Kirk spoke flawless Romulan than the Romulans had a passable knowledge of Earth Basic? :dubious:
Fan-Wank 3: Scotty was drunk.
OK, then. How do you explain the Klingon who looked like both of them?
I did not know he played a Klingon too: Mark Lenard | Memory Alpha | Fandom
There’s a resemblance??? :dubious: 
Y’know those people that seeded humanoid species all over the galaxy? All their men looked like either Marc Alaimo or Jeffrey Coombs.
They really should look like Elvis.
Because Elvis is a perfect being.
Not really, although it tries to be. Maybe that’s why I didn’t care for it .( I’m not saying it didn’t have its moments.)

Particularly peculiar remark to be coming from Spock. And Rand doesn’t dare answer back, considering he’s a senior officer and she’s only a yeoman.
Today’s episode:
“The Galileo Seven”
So . . .ion storm, sensors inoperable, ditto for transporters, a damaged shuttlecraft, a nagging VIP, insubordinate crewmen, big hairy humanoids with attitude (and really big spears), and a planet with a plague – I guess the Enterprise is having a pretty bad day.
Spock makes mistakes, but gets it right in the end. (And I don’t think he’s decision was illogical at all; in fact, it seems like the only real alternative.)
I liked this episode, except for the giggle fest at the close.
There has been only ONE Enterprise chick who has shown any backbone, strength, or courage, a redshirt (and I can’t remember which episode) but she threw over a villain with a sweet judo move.
If you were watching when TOS ran, you’d know the real reason for this episode was “why isn’t Spock the captain?” He’s stronger, smarter, and has more knowledge than Kirk does.

Martha, Chekov’s hot blonde in “The Apple”:
[Village]
(Chekov and Landon are taking a romantic stroll together.)
MARTHA: You know, if it weren’t for Vaal this place would be a paradise.
(They are watched by a local couple.)
CHEKOV: Any place we can be together is paradise.
MARTHA: Pav, can the ship really break away?
CHEKOV: I don’t know.
MARTHA: Will we be able to get back aboard?
CHEKOV: Martha, I don’t know. But if we do have to stay here, would it be so very bad?
MARTHA: No, not if you’re with me.
(They kiss.)
She gave him a pretty dirty look, but yeah, that was poor writing. Not just lewd and lascivious, but totally out of character for Spock.
8/10 Would wank again.
I assume Lieutenant Trope Breaker (Not killed. Insubordinate as hell. Skin color has shit all to do with his character.) is in the brig.
As for Spock’s quip in Enemy Within: That’s a rare example of personal canon taking over and that line literally was never said.
I’m going to take this moment to again say, “Fuck you JJ Abrams and your ridiculous fanboy deconstruction of Kirk.”
"Shore Leave"
Can’t help but wonder what happened when the crew arrived. Could all 400 plus really keep their thoughts under control? Someone could have a passing thought of Godzilla, and there he’d be, wreaking havoc!
Some passing thoughts of my own. . . .
I find it odd that McCoy should compare the peaceful setting to something from Alice in Wonderland. It’s been a while since I’ve read that book, but I remember it as rather disturbing. (But, then, it sets the tone for the rest of the episode. The “amusement park” does prove to be rather “Wonderlandish”, but McCoy doesn’t know that at the time.)
The back rub incident: Kirk is perfectly comfortable when he thinks Spock is massaging him, but reacts with embarrassment when it turns out to be his new yeoman. I really haven’t given much credence to the Spock/Kirk shippers, but this is kind of suggestive. Is Spock in the habit of giving Kirk back rubs, I wonder?
Wonder what happened to the real Finnegan? I’m assuming that he wasn’t actually a giggling maniac (that’s Kirk’s memory of him), but he was probably a sadistic prankster. Not someone I’d like to have as a fellow crew member.
Once the guys who ran the joint found out that the Enterprise crew didn’t have a clue, they adjusted things accordingly.
No wank, just fact.
:dubious:
Check out Helen Noel, Action Hero!
Finnegan is the kind of guy who’d be fragged on his first landing party, or who “just happened” to be standing next to that airlock when it “accidentally” sprang open.
