“Wow, you can really tell WNMHGB was produced first, the Enterprise bridge looks way higher budget in this”
“I’m really having to train myself not to see the overly typical Sci-Fi plots here as lazy and remind myself that 9 times out of 10 this was probably the primogenesis of them”
“The example coming to mind here being that I recently watched an episode of Red Dwarf with a mechanoid who appeared to each character as the person they desire the most, which I’m sure now was inspired by this episode”
“I mentioned this with the last episode, but the music for this show is so well crafted, you get the sense of such a vast universe and that the characters are such a small part of it but the big moments still feel consequential”
“Spock’s complete lack of interest in the death of a crewmate is far more reminiscent of the Spock I was expecting than the Spock we saw in The Cage, and to an extent WNMHGB”
“Kirk’s anger when faced with a lack of information about a crewmembers death is an interesting side of the character, he’s well written as someone who clearly cares for his crew here”
“The Crater’s are a creepy couple, aren’t they?”
“”I don’t like mysteries” man you are in the wrong franchise Kirk”
“”Learn something from Mr Spock and stop thinking with your glands”
We have a new favourite line of the franchise right there”
“The Green/Crater character creeping around the ship is so incredibly creepy”
“McCoy is an idiot how does he not realise there’s no way Nancy got on board the ship?”
“It’s amazing how the cheap sets really don’t make a difference to the episodes, the stories are compelling enough that I’m barely noticing how bad they look”
“The sped up footage effect used for the stun guns is hilariously poor tho”
“Is doubt considered an emotion to Vulcans? I know Spock is half human anyway, just curious”
“Woah, the natural form of Nancy is very creepy, feel like a lot of the budget went into the design for that”
“Well that’s The Man Trap! Another solid episode and great to finally meet the cast for the show going forward. The fact that this episode has seemingly been homage’d in other Sci-Fi shows is a testament to its strength”
