Known forever after as “Helen the Executioner.” Ouch! :eek:
Man-to-man is one thing. (How many guys would ask for a masseuse outside of an ahem “massage parlor”? :dubious: Better to have some muscular dude named Sven working you over painfully if all you really want is a massage.)
Tonia Barrows, on the other hand, could manipulate my muscles any time she wanted! :o
*"Honestly, Commodore, my client didn’t **mean *to fry that guy on the electrical grid. She just gave him a shove and he happened to fall right into it! She’s willing to plead ‘no contest’ if the charge is reduced to Manslaughter." :o
Just like everyone Doug and Tony encountered on Time Tunnel (which debuted the day after Star Trek).
I was in sixth grade then, but it totally blew my mind when this ancient dude in armor walked into his headquarters tent and announced “I am Joshua, commander of the Israelites!” It was then I knew something wasn’t quite right… :dubious: 
:smack:
Please…the guy can give JIM KIRK a run for his money in a fight. Kirk almost always wins. He beat a guy even though he’d been stabbed. Ear popped a Gorn. Beat Khan (yes with a control rod of some kind) Held his own for a while on Vulcan against Spock.
Finnegan probably got a Connie.
Kirk as a kid. Remember the other one was a robot designed to be what Kirk expected.
Very well constructed also with the “You’re old jibes”…when in reality I’d expect a 32 year old Kirk to beat the snot out of any 19-20 year old.
I watched an episode in which Tony and Doug found themselves on a rocket to Mars. Their added weight meant the rocket couldn’t get into the proper trajectory for the journey to Mars, so they diverted to the moon where there was fuel stored. (!) Complete lack of realism. When they walked on the moon’s surface, they appeared to be experiencing normal earth gravity instead of the 1/6 gravity of the moon. And noises could be heard on the moon’s surface, despite the lack of an atmosphere to carry sound. Also the implausibility of a spaceship arbitrarily changing its destination. The courses for interplanetary flights are meticulously plotted out and don’t allow for any deviation. The producers made no effort to be realistic.
One of the few episodes set in the future. The space footage they used was taken from Destination: Moon, and the spaceship was the Luna.
I remember they needed “four canisters” of fuel to get the ship back on course. Each canister was small enough to carry under your arm. Must have been pretty powerful stuff!
My favorite moment was when the evil saboteur dude told his shipmate “Don’t touch your radio!” when they were at the fuel dump. :smack:
IIRC, the episode was set in 1972 (for Doug and Tony, four years into the future). Not in NASA’s wildest dreams was such a thing possible!
Like the F-104 pilot being the Father of a guy on the interplanetary mission. Was it Saturn?
Yup. Must have been on a sleeper ship. 
Like in “A Taste of Armageddon” (which was on yesterday), when he says “We can’t fire full phasers with our screens up.”* Whaaaaaaaaaat?!? Since when???
*Shouldn’t have been able to beam the ambassador down either, but they did anyway. :smack:
Just stumbled across this website. Verrrrrrrrrrry in-teresting!
From Where No Man Has Gone Beofer:
Kirk regains control of the ship, and, armed with a laser rifle, beams down after them. He makes his way across the mountainous terrain toward Mitchell and Dehner, suddenly finds that the blue sand he is crossing is quicksand. He sinks fast, but pulls a small gun, armed with a steel barb, from his belt, fires it toward a rock wall. A thin nylon-like rope shoots out and the barb embeds itself in the wall. Kirk drags himself free of the quicksand.
That’s the other Jim, Jim West, that does stuff like that. An easy mistake. 
It’s fascinating to see how stories change. Sometimes the originals have only a hint of the final episode. I wonder what these would have been like had they made it through unchanged. On the Monsters Inc DVD, there is a storyboard version of the original story. It bears almost no resemblance to the final product, and had such a different tone as to be a different kind of movie.
Wow, the original script is even worse, in my opinion*, if that’s possible!
*The author of the page takes the opposite opinion:
Still, it is rather off-putting to hear Janice seemingly say that she hoped the “man” who assaulted her was still alive within Kirk, but not as off-putting as having Spock leer it to her like a proverbial dirty old man.
I watched it a couple of weeks ago. It was set in 1978, ten years into the future of the time tunnel project.
I stand corrected.
Have you read “Space Seed” yet?
