I just realized today that Kirk, on the stand, is doing a “Captain Queeg” (though much much shorter)
Which leads to another question: Kirk just got old…is he at heart a raving paranoic??? And insanely delusional. “Lookatme!! Look. At. Me!..am I…am i old? I admit, I have a little grey”
He tried to be a good captain, but they fought him at every turn! :mad:
It might have been getting old all of a sudden. If any 35 year old woke up in the morning as an 80-year-old, they could be excused for reacting badly. Having those additional 45 years to grow old gradually is extremely helpful.
(Even if it is much the same as “boiling a frog.”)
Especially when there’s a hot English chick with big boobs on board. :o
The best ST “Queeg” has to be Matt Decker. William Windom even did an homage to Bogart playing with the ball bearings by shuffling the computer discs.

[/QUOTE]I thought he was supposed to be Captain Ahab? 
But yeah, the shtick with the computer disks was cool! 
Watching it now, took me forever to find it cause I thought for sure it was season three. The plot is VERY season threeish.
Also (IIRC), it was mentioned that their mental faculties were going downhill even faster than their physical health.
Feminism has come a long way when a woman with a more pronounced mustache * than Kirk doesn’t feel pressured to shave it or prevent her from hitting on Kirk.
*Much more visible in the HD Netflix Star Trek eps.
Naaah, those are just shadows…

[/QUOTE]Thanks, E-DUB. I’ve seen that episode many times, but never caught the Caine reference.
'Kay.

[/QUOTE]My daughter and I watched For the Love of Spock last night, and they showed the Windom clip. She asked who that was, and I mentioned his name, and said he was a helluvan actor. I also remember him in My World and Welcome to It.
Of course in TNG’s “The Drumhead”, Picard pulls a ‘reverse Queeg’ and lets the prosecutor hang herself.
That sounds filthy!

[/QUOTE]“When you need someone to break down, hire Willie the Weeper” as Windom summarized his career. But he did figure out how to destroy the doomsday machine although it was more of a deliberate suicide.
Windom was good in the made for TV movie Assault On the Wayne, which is like Star Trek light.
Yeah, but do you know how much shuttlecraft go for? 
We seem to have side-stepped into another episode, but I always thought the closing line to “Doomsday Machine” was terribly inadequate. “I found one quite sufficient”? Bah. “We only have twelve (now 11) starships,” would have been better.
Deadly Years is worse.
KIRK: Well, gentlemen, all and all, an experience we’ll remember in our old age. Which won’t be for some while, I hope. Take over, Mister Sulu. Steady as she goes.
SULU: Steady as she goes, Captain.
KIRK: I thought I said that.
Yuk. Yuk. “Oh, and those people who died…jettison their bodies. I’m going to see if Dr. Hottie heres offer to bone is still good.”
The last line in The City On the Edge of Forever makes up for bad ones.
