Captains Log: September 8, 1966 First Episode

Spock: The spores. They're gone. I don't belong anymore.

Capt. Kirk: You said they were benevolent and peaceful. Violent emotions overwhelm them, destroy them. I had to make you angry enough to shake off their influence. That's the answer, Mr. Spock.

Spock: That may be correct, Captain, but trying to initiate a brawl with over 500 crewmen and colonists is hardly logical.

Capt. Kirk: I had something else in mind. Can you put together a subsonic transmitter? Something we can hook into the communication station and broadcast over the communicators?

Spock: It can be done.



Infrasound driving people batshit and hostitle. conceevd in the 60's? What a visionary!

communicators look just like cellphjones.

Cool. Just watched The City of The Edge of Forever on TV Land, my fav ep of all time.
Written by Harlan Ellison no less.

communicators look just like cellphones.

actually they were quite a bit bigger than a modern cellphone, and I noticed they didn't hold the antanae next to thier brain when they talked on them, so there are some fundamental differences.

If you are using a cell phone you are reducing you intellectual capacity with every minute you talk.People who talk on cell phones continuously seem detached from reality to those who don't.

Their phasers and communicators were worn under the shirt around the waist, attached by Velcro.
I don't think they had velcro back then.

Original Star Trek was the most innovative, intelligent and entertaining show for kids and young people, ever.

I love the one with the madman "Lord Garth". It had Yvonne Craig as his crazy girlfriend, and I laugh all the way through it.
I don't think it was intentionally that funny, but funny it was. Lord Garth was played by a fine actor whose name I can't recall.
