And, honestly, why is this episode not memed into oblivion? Gorn? Check. Pike beep boop? Check. Poisonous space yeti lizard thing? Nothing. Allow me to offer a crossover:

There's an episode of Futurama where the plot is an obvious parody of this. So that's something at least?

I particularly like his little party hat

Bonus fun fact: This episode is also the introduction of Dr. M'Benga.

How could I forget a Dr. Zoidberg episode.

Which also came back in a Lower Decks episode with Ferengi (who end up turning their poaching camp into a mugato habitat)

I thought it was something like an albino gorilla.

It has spines,is poisonous. and a lizard-like tail!

Edit: Fixing my impassioned typing.

Is this the one where they made the murder pact? Like, "Promise me you'll kill me if it happens"

I originally replied thinking it was a yes, but sadly, I was wrong. I had to watch the whole episode to verify. There is some weird "magic" in this one that confused me there.

Lol I don't remember that at all

It seems as though the collective memory of Star Trek has forgotten it. I have no clue as to why this isn't the single most memed TOS moment.

What’s the episode title? I feel a need to revisit.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
