Thanks 
You’d think so, but you’d be wrong.
There are flying space jellyfish. Your argument is invalid.
TAS has kzinti. Thanks, Larry Niven. But I agree better than the novels.
As for sneaking in an author’s universe, James Blish snuck in a reference to the Vegan Tyranny (from the Cities in Flight series) in his writeup of Tomorrow is Yesterday.
Not face-suckers, though - they’d stick to the victim’s back and then be absorbed inside.
The Giant Space Carrot also featured in a New Voyages episode called “In Harm’s Way”. Not a bad story, though made by fans for fans and expected you to pick up on all the references to the original series, of which there were many. And it showed you that things could get worse, because the Doomsday Machine was able to make another Doomsday Machine, and so on…
And William Shatner with a mustache.
As George Samuel Kirk
Yes. It’s unlucky to be the Enterprise captain’s brother.
IIRC, the suits were sealed, however the guy took his glove off and put his hand on the wall or table.
Why he did something so stupid is never explained.
On a similar note, whenever Trek fans are parodied on tv, episodes are always referred to as “season 2, episode 7” or some such. What’s up with that? Everyone knows that a true Trekkie knows each episode by name.
I was gifted with a full set of the DVDs of seasons 2 and 3 for my birthday last year. My SO and I were looking through them when I found to my total astonishment an episode that I had never seen before, Return to Tomorrow.
Spock fans will be especially appreciative of the way Mr. Nimoy handles his role.

“flying space jellyfish”
Um. I’m one of those dinosaurs who actually saw the show on first run. I was a very young child, and not at all demanding about special effects and the like.
And even I thought the monsters looked like those fake rubber ‘vomit puddles’ that Spencer Gifts used to sell. Hanging from a fishing rod.
Be warned.
See post 109.
He was able to reach up and scratch his nose because there was no seal between the hood and the rest of the suit.
This episode is worth watching for two reasons: (1) Nimoy’s performance and (2) so you can say you’ve seen it once.
It was cranked out by the writing staff to fill a gap in their production schedule, hence the writer’s credit: “John Kingsbridge,” the one and only script ever to bear that name.
It also provided one of the Blooper Reel’s best moments: Shatner’s “Have no fear … SARGON is here!”
What do you expect from a suit made of shower curtains?
Poor guy. He wasn’t born Irish.
You know, you’re not wrong, but I still didn’t think the episode was half bad. Even if Kirk has a bunch of dead family that he never mentions again. And whoever wrote the episode apparently had a limited understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum (you try heat and you try radiation, and you … just skip over UV? WHY??).
Maybe I was drunk.
Oh, I really hope that’s on Youtube.
I’m pretty sure Operation – Annihilate! is considered one of the better episodes of TOS - a quick google bears that out… (Also, the aliens were plastic vomit. With an inflatable bladder put around them. And they’re still far from the dodgiest looking aliens in the series. Freaking salt vampire…)
Don’t listen to kenobi. “The Way To Eden” is a must-watch just for the camp entertainment value of beatniks in space.
We reach!
Also need to see the overweight spaceghost leading the kiddoes astray in And The Children Shall Lead
