5 things I enjoyed about Friday's Child:

1) Possibly my favorite alien clothes choices of all time

2) Julie Newmar being fabulous

3) This face of Spock's. (I spent way too long trying to make that into an icon last night, but I couldn't get it right, sigh.)

4) Spock and Kirk making bows and arrows!

5) Not actually in the episode, but the info about the baby's later life, according to the novels is supercool.

A Taste of Armageddon

I am struggling to think of anything I liked about this episode. On the other hand, it is hard to think of anything I dislike about it either.

Um, Kirk was an extra ruthless bastard, that was awesome. Spock had a couple nice lines of dialogue - first distracting the guy for the nerve pinch by
telling him he had a multi-legged creature on this shoulder, and then at the end saying Kirk almost makes him believe in luck. Also a bunch of stuff
caught on fire and/or blew up! That's always good.

Yeah, I don't know.

JAMES TIBERIUS KIRK, THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR WITH A YOUNG GIRL. OH MY GOD. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, MAN? DDD:

(Amy got my reactions as I was watching. She laughed at my pain the whole time.)

That was about 90% of my reaction to this episode, ngl. But there's also a part where they're all talking about the disease and Spock is talking about
how he doesn't have the disease, but he's a carrier, so he can't go back to the ship -- "And I do want to go back to the ship ... Captain." And
Kirk responds, "Of course, Mr. Spock." This doesn't sound very interesting written out like this, but they're exchaning these long meaningful glances and
smoldering at each other and seriously, what the fuck, you two? Get a room.

I still don't like Yeoman Rand. I wish I did. :(

Finally, I have no idea why this planet needed to be an exact physical duplicate of Earth.



CAPTAIN BAD TOUCH >:(

I still choose the Apple for my favorite alien clothes, but wow, those are fabulous.

Wasn't Miri the episode with the "it could be a BEAKER FULL OF DEATH!" line? That was classic. I didn't notice so much badtouch as embarrassing crush.

It was the beaker full of death! And the thing about the badtouch is that basically he kept going around smiling at her and touching her and telling her how pretty she was and going off places with her alone, and he doesn't know how to shut off the bedroom eyes when he's trying to charm people.
