in the sixties, women were called girls!

I have been watching an ungodly amount of TOS lately, and I've gotten to the point where I've watched all the good ones and now am just sifting through and trying to find mildly lolzy parts of the later episodes where they had about two dollars to spend on a set and the costume budget was a placemat and a hell of a lot of tinfoil. It can get kind of boring, but it is seriously rewarding when you do find something good, like, oh, when you uncover the fiftieth time that Bones kind of creepily tries to get Spock to drink alcohol! Well, it has happened three times so far (and Bones has a 66% success rate, by the way), but I think it counts as a trend.




YEAH, Bones and Spock, drinking screwdrivers together. And I don't really understand why Bones keeps trying so hard to get him to drink the stuff because alcohol has no effect on Vulcans, and presumably Bones would know that, so I can only assume it's some sort of misdirected attempt at seduction. Or Bones just loves booze THAT MUCH. Maybe both? Either way,



Ha ha, it's still funny.

Also, I watched "Devil in the Dark" and I can totally see why it's Nimoy's favorite episode because it's pretty much the TOS version of "The Voyage Home": unsubtle environmental message featuring Spock mind melding and ~bonding~ with some lumpy, maternal, and yet misunderstood organism. I loved it like Spock loves the Horta. :DDDDD
