So, natural the exchange was between Kirk and McCoy, as if they were long time friends. Love the chemistry and camaraderie in this show, made it most interesting, coupled with very good writing and episodes. My favorite of all the Treks w/o question and not duplicated by any of the others.
In this Corbomite Episode I couldn't take too much more of Dr. McCoys Annoyance to Capt. Kirk. If it where me I would have told him " Your DISMISSED Dr."
Some viewers would claim McCoy should have warned Kirk about the flashing alert light. They're missing the point. McCoy knew Spock was on the Bridge and had enough faith in him to handle the situation without disturbing the captain.
Bones was actually asking kirk if he wanted to hit that i would if i was kirk. too bad they had to let her go so kirk could be available for alien strange
"What are you going to do with that 6 percent when they give it to you, Jim?" "I am going to take it and i'm going to...." I can't blame Kirk for going for the extra 6. lol
A woman serving food. Classical in those those years and scolding like a mom, or the typical "sexy" music when a beautiful woman, not from the crew, appeared.
Denny Crane looking good;) I thought I saw every episode... I have to see this episode; doesn't she become a doctor in the movies??? Definitely McCoy's check-mate here...
Nurse Chapel becomes a doctor in the movies, not Yeoman Rand. Rand was last seen with the original series crew as the communications officer aboard the USS Excelsior, under the command of Captain Sulu.
This show was a master class in how not to run a starship LOL. The medical officer hanging out on the bridge, second-guessing and arguing with the captain. The Captain and the exec and three poor red-shirts leaving the ship all the time to go ashore and investigate some un-known planet. Every episode has something that would be its own chapter in How Not To Run A Starship.
Headquarters assigning Kirk a female yeoman Was a strategic move. I Imagine a Male yeoman could not get Kirk to stop and eat, sign his paperwork on time, or change out of a ripped shirt after away missions. The yeoman of a Starship Is the engineer that keeps the most vital component of the starship functioning, the captain.
It's only human to want to inhabit every feeling you've got And more often than not let's take it to the nth degree Here he goes, "Give me ten bucks and a head start" Here's where he goes, "The puzzle's pulling apart" And here's the scene You're yelling calmly up the street "Are we family?" Or what? From happy go lucky to surly go crazy the lot And more often than not admission to the battles is free Here he goes, "Give me ten bucks and a head start" Here's where he goes, "Pulling the puzzle apart" And here's the scene Where you whisper down the crookedest street "Are we family?" Or what? Are we family When it's only if not when Sisters and brothers Wolf, wolf lover And the boy who stamped too many ants? Are we family? It's only human to want to inherit every feeling you've got And like it or not let's take it to the nth degree Here we go, "Give us ten bucks and a head start" Here's where we go, "The puzzle's pulling apart" And here's the scene Your horse is going the wrong way up the street Are we family? Or what? Are we family When it's not if but when Taking care of each other One bullet to another When it's all, "if a song can't save us then nothing can" Are we family? Or what? Are we family or what? Are we family or what? Are we family or what? To one another? The lost to the recovered? The new Caledonian crow to the chimpanzee? The tribal jury to the pakistani teen? Ill starred evenings to champion mystique? Sick as a writer writing to be lighter than the uncanny When the invasion of Antarctica's complete Are we family?
I know this is not the first episode aired but it is the first shot. It’s actually my absolute favorite episode of TOS. Everyone in it is just so energized. (No pun intended 😉) and fresh. Kirk displays the brilliant, out of the box thinking that makes him the greatest Star Ship Captain ever, Uhura, without much seeming effort makes her formidable presence known (love her SO much) Spock has such a wonderful couple of moments that show both his competence as a first officer and his tender vulnerability. But for my money he best of all is Bones!! McCoy is a revaluation. He’s smart, funny, authoritative, caring and, well sexy! It’s so much fun to watch.
Actually the first episode shot (with Kirk and Spock) was "Where No Man Has Gone Before." Thus the different doctor, different uniform shirts (turtle necks), and other cast members not yet on the show , like Uhura, It was the third episode shown in the first season.
Notice folks, that from the very beginning, the Captain here again shows his deep love and concern for his ship he commands. It's prevalent throughout all three seasons of the Original Star Trek series, his command, his crew and his career takes number one priority over anything else out there.
McCoy was wrong to ignore the red alert. He has no idea why it was on, obviously a red alert is pretty damn important! He should have told Kirk right off the bat while stopping the exercise at the same time so Kirk could attend the the emergency right way, the whole reason for a red alert! McCoy should have gotten some sort of punishment or at least a really good reprimand for that.
The good Doctor knew, his philosophy is that a little suffering is good for the soul. The Captain always turned to snd had a close friendship relationship with the Doctor, and could open up about anything to him, and McCoy would understand and always give sound medicial advice that the Captain would accept and understand. You see, the show was designed and geared towards a young Captain, his first command of a starship, the Enterprise, a logicial non emotional first officer and a Doctor who helps determine this young Captain make the right calls and judgements in his command. And as stated before, the Captain can open up at anytime to the good Doctor, and the good Doctor was always there most of the time to support the Captain's judgements.
