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?

Bye redshirt, nice not knowing you.

Worf is once again ineffective. He watches the the terrorists shoot up consoles and then gets shot himself.

Turns out the wound was not severe, pfft.

Doctor, I don’t want you to fear me.

Yeah cuz that won’t creep out the person you’re holding hostage.

Ah one of her infamous “Jean-Luc I want to tell you things in case we don’t get out of this” (Anytime bev starts to say this, something happens, Gates McFadden pointed that out she never gets to finish the thought. It happens here, “Remember Me” I forget if its in any other episode)

That was a fairly bloodless assault on the cavern.

“It’s an imperfect solution, for an imperfect world” God TNG you you hammer that message any harder.

*Child soldier picks up rifle, beverly looks at him* “No more killing!”

I stand corrected!!

Your DNA is “warped” somehow….

Oh good an alien terrorist that’s read up on American Colonial History. That must be niche of niche for an alien civilization…

“Hey look at you, you’re North American right?” *shrug* eh sure whatever. I thought I was scottish…

Oh the main Terrorist guy’s name is FINN, aside of course from sounding vaguely Irish I am now picturing Finn the Human. Beverly is pleading with Finn the Human.

Oh dude THE HAIR

You deserve to get shot!
