Patterns of Force (TOS S02E21)

February 1, 2018

The Enterprise is arriving at a planet to talk with a John Gill whom the Federation hasn't been able to contact. This was Kirk's instructor. A space craft approaches and is destroyed, it was a thermonuclear warhead. Kirk thinks that Gill has helped civilization.

Notes

It's been a long break since the last episode of TOS that I've watched.

A subcutaneous transponder. This is the first time I've seen one of these in Star Trek.

Kirk in jeans.

A Nazi planet? This episode seems to play out a lot like S02E17, A Piece of the Action.

The Kirk karate chop.

Shirtless Kirk again.

Spock's got some snark in him.

That is some unsanitary operation that Kirk and Spock are doing to each other. Spock on Kirk's back was hilarious.

Another first, the computer made a mistake with McCoy's boot.
