How awesome is THAT!

Damn it, Spock. Do you have to be so fucking jealous all the time?

Spock does not fuck around with competition.

WELL OK MR BIGEARS MCDOWNER.

Spock block.

"Eventually.

Because everyone dies eventually.

I felt it prudent to point that out."

God, I love the SQUAREJAWED 60s EARNESTNESS and BUG BRASSY MUSIC CUES.

This is why no other Trek ever worked for me.

So what? It was only Joan Collins, no great loss.

Best musical fanfare ever. I want a sample of that on my iPod or something so I can use it to dramatically punctuate everything I say.

But in the end she didn't die! She went on to a fruitful career catfighting with Linda Evans.

My favorite part of this episode is how Spock is dressed. I would watch an entire series with Spock being Spock in jeans and a workshirt.

This episode had some of the best quotes:

"Captain's log: No stardate; McCoy has changed the course of time."

"I am endeavoring to construct a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bearskins."

Also, this episode was written by everyone's favorite prick, Harlan Ellison, just in case it wasn't awesome enough already. Oh, and he sued CBS Paramount on 3/13/09, seeking payment of 25% of net receipts from merchandising, publishing, and other income from the episode, retroactive to 1967. (The suit was settled 10/22/09 with Ellison stating he was "satisfied with the outcome".)

You know what REALLY pisses me off? These bozos went back in time at least TWICE to save Earth (there was that time when they brought back whales) , but nobody bothers to lift a finger to go back in time to prevent Nero from destroying Vulcan! I hate to admit it, but what that sexy Klingon bitch said about the Federation being "a Terrans-only club" appears to be true.
