#Wink of an Eye

Oh no wait now they’re discussing tape delay. gee it took you that long to get to a planet and FIGURE OUT it was automated? What did you just not feel like talking to them UNTIL you got there.

Uhura: We’re getting a distress call

Kirk: Set a course at maximum warp.

Uhura: Shall I let them know we’re coming?

Kirk: No! that would ruin the surprise!

McCoy: What surprise?

Uhura on Intercom: ENSIGN LYNDON, COME ON DOWN YOU’RE THE NEXT CONTESTANT ON THE PLANET IS WRONG!

Kirk: We want to give our redshirts a fighting chance.

A nation of 900,000? Yeesh that’s small. Nothing new for Stargate later on….

An annoying buzzing in your ear Kirk.

They never do say if it’s an automated distress call. They make a big fuss about the location of the Scalosian’s distress call and the fact that no one’s there but Uhura is just listening, no one’s talking to them

I like thinking of Spock breaking into a museum and looking at some paintings. Or did he just break into a random Scalosian’s apartment for their literature. What if he came out with the Scalosians’ equivalent of Bathroom Jokes Book or a Gary Larson book or Scalosian Shades of Gray?
