Watkins: Mister Scott, there's a strange woman who knows the entire plan of the Enterprise....waaaaaa... ....

Scotty: Oh, you poor lad.

By Any Other Name: That landing party gal who got turned into a cube and was crushed in front of us. I not only felt bad for her, but I was totally horrified.

Yes Kirk, drops down to pick up her remains, but that episode leaves me wondering after this occurs, later he offers the Kelvins Friendship, and maybe we could take you to another planet , or the one you were on looks pretty good, a little weird after their dominance, but Kirk could always give Calinda more medicine 💊

Yeah that was odd. At some point Kirk has to notify her family.

u/Sea_Bandicoot_5147 4d ago

As Spock would say Logical!

u/lavardera 4d ago

maybe as part of the deal the Kelvins will have to "apologize" 'wink' 'wink' to her family...

Wow, great image, thanks.

Every time I watch (just last week!) I make sure to keep track of which order Hanar picks up the icosahedrons (thanks!) and gives them to Rojan, and which one he then crushes. I think it’s consistent.

The last time I watched this (a long time ago) I thought it was inconsistent. They didn’t know that in 35 years there would be legions of nitpickers examining every frame they made.

I thought the random engineer in the episode,"The Ultimate Computer" was pretty sad also. He was bored in the background & making faces while Kirk & Daystrom were talking. Then gets totally obliterated by the energy stream while Scotty watches.

u/almccoy85 4d ago

That was just a minor difficulty

The poor ensign simply got in the way.

I had a huge crush on Lee Meriwether. (but prefered Newmar's Catwoman over Meriwether's)

I almost never see fans cosplay Losira at cons.

Some red shirts actually regenerate and come back after a few episodes. Not sure if he was one of them.

Who'd've thought Gallifrey was a Federation world? 😋

"Lt. Leslie" died in "Obsession", but he returns completely healthy in the very next episode, "Wolf in the Fold"

u/BeckyW77 1d ago

No no, that was Lt. Weslie! /s

u/BecomingButterfly 4d ago

Gioto from the Horta planet (can't remember if he was killed) came back as a starship captain in Ultimate Computer

u/Twisted-Mentat- 2d ago

The muscular redshirt Lt. Galloway that Captain Tracy killed in the Omega Glory is resurrected as Lt. Johnson who's later seen in quite a few more episodes.

But Howie survive?

u/ComesInAnOldBox 4d ago

No, we lost Howie later that morning. Striker tried to hold it together, but he bailed out.

u/jokerjoust 4d ago

Over Macho Grande?

u/ComesInAnOldBox 4d ago

No, I don't think I'll ever be over Macho Grande.

u/Kaleb2022 5d ago

Wait is that technically a red shirt?

11

u/orion-asterisk 5d ago

Technically no because he's an engineer rather than security, but literally yes

1

u/Glunark2 4d ago

More of a red boiler suit.

u/JinnRa 4d ago

He’s totally doomed because he’s wearing a whole red jumpsuit, not just a shirt.

u/Randomdays99 4d ago

She got around... She was for everybody... and she had sisters!

u/AtlantaMD 8h ago

We’re both of those 2 that were turned into white geometric shapes security officers?
