I could have sworn she was ash blonde. Perhaps the TV was maladjusted that evening.
In real life (and on Get Smart) she was a blonde. In “Gamesters of Triskelion” her hair was green:
I see at MA that Angelique Pettyjohn was another Star Trek/Batman crossover, in the episode with Roger C Carmel (along with this guy: Seymour Cassel | Memory Alpha | Fandom).
I hadn’t ever occurred to me that Korob died when the door fell on him. I just figured he was seriously injured, but he managed to toss the scepter/transmuter to Kirk.
Yes, there’s no indication Korob is dead from the door. Incapacitated, yes; dead, no.
He looked pretty damned dead to me.
Probably something to do with the illusion that makes an asparagus stalk look like a guy.
How do you “look” dead? As opposed to unconscious? I mean, reallllllly? :dubious:
The man didn’t just pass out; he croaked right after he gave Kirk the transmuter.
A door that big crushes you, you die.
You’re confusing Star Trek with Lost in Space:
No, man, that is poison ivy.
This is…blue asparagus.
Uh, you aren’t really being serious, are you??
First of all, no, you don’t just die because something big falls on you. That’s true even if you’re human to begin with. This “person” isn’t human to start with, so who knows WHAT happens when a door lands on him.
You say he “croaked”; again, I ask by what amazing power of perception can you tell the difference between someone who dies, and someone who passes out? Did you hear a death rattle that I didn’t hear? Did you see a release of fluids and feces from relaxation of the sphincters I didn’t see? Did you have a heart monitor in view that I missed?
You are WRONG in asserting he must have been dead. Therefore, there is no continuity issue here.
Winds shall rise, and fog descend…
The most frightening part of this episode is Chekov’s hair!!
No, this is Poison Ivy.
Here is the scene in question. And yes, he looks pretty goddamned dead to me.
He’s pinin’.
The illusion is dead, the asparagus stalk gets better.
For a while.
Captain Kirk’s log, vs. HMS Enterprize log.
HMS Enterprize, 4 July, 1789.
Sighted strange sail at NNE. Maneuvered to gain the weather gauge, and attacked same vessel, which proved to be the French ship Dolphin, of 28 guns, 12 pounders. Her captain surrendered after her main mast fell at the twelfth instant. A boarding party took her into port.
USS Enterprise, star date 2009.12.
A giant hand reached out and grabbed the saucer section…
I actually think that clip makes DSY’s point. I’d actually remembered that Kirk checked to see he was dead before moving on. But he just held his shoulders. So he could have just been passed out and almost dead, even in his human form.
I think they didn’t intend us to think he was completely dead. I don’t see how there could have been a previous version where he isn’t incapacitated, since Kirk has to be the one to decide to break the Transmuter. So I think the intention was that he was not completely dead, and so that is why they told the special effects people to do two puppets.
If he’s dead, they could get away with only one. Show one laying down where the stone was, dead, then cut to the other over there dying. But no, they showed them both.
Though I do notice one script idiocy: why wouldn’t they beam up the corpses to study? We learned a lot about life by studying things that were already dead. We studied human corpses to learn a lot of our anatomy. Put them in a container if you’re worried about contamination, and then take them with you. If they’re falling apart, you can at least study them as they fall apart.
But it’s more dramatic to see them die and be left behind as the crew beams up. I guess we just have to fanwank that they then sent someone down with containing equipment and then beamed them all back up. They just cut out that part, jumping straight to them leaving.
