@@erictrenbeath9680 they do have emotions (aside from a small minority), they just control them and refrain from expressing them outwards. (Also Spock is half Vulcan, half human and a lot of his personal journey was coming to grips with living in both worlds.)
Although it is always shown fairly well into the 1st series, it was the 1st one made after the 2 pilot episodes, so the characters had not been fully developed at the time.
@@erictrenbeath9680 The most defining feature of Spock is that he is obviously actively suppressing and consciously denying the existence of his emotions, which is obvious to Bones and Kirk who can tell he is feeling a certain way, but I guess they respect him so much that they don't usually call him out on it.
@@waikeonglim7703 Uhh Scotty to Bridge: Captain, this is a little embarrassing but the lever is only 2/3rds of the way up. I actually *can* give 'er more!
Yeah reminds me of being a teenager and you're starting to lose a drag race, and you think to yourself, if i stay in 3rd i might just pass him by the servo (gas station, the "finish line") so you watch the needle climb into the red zone, 6000. 7000, 8000, off the clock, needle starts pointing to the trim around the instrument cluster (about 9300rpm) then slam it into 4th you're still in the red zone after shifting, and just beat the other guy by half a car length. Haha miss those days. That little mitsubishi colt 1400 certainly made up for its lack of low end torque with its ability to keep pulling right to valve float. Miss that car. Most reliable car i ever owned, and it was the most abused car i ever owned too haha
You'd need the Devil's own luck to get away with a stunt like that. Good crew and good equipment can only get you so far. But Kirk always won these wild, cockamamie bets of his. He understood the Enterprise so intimately that he knew exactly how far he could push it, and before taking any action he'd already privately made the decision to march right up to that point if he had to. But even then, it still took some serious luck for his beloved starship not to go up in the biggest fireball of the century.
@@KazutoSAO47 It's a shame when some folks don't know how to suspend their own disbelief. Josh Fredman's analysis is spot on, that is until someone pours a bucket of cold reality water all over it. Yes, it's only entertainment, guys, but the more intelligent the mind the more need for play.
Safety factor is usually 1.25, 1.5, or 2.0 in aerospace. Maximum was 6,400° according to Spock. A safety factor of 1.5 would make the ultimate 9,600°. That’s 1000° over the final temperature Spock mentioned. If you kept counting after he stopped, it reached 9,000°-uncomfortably close to maximum. Oddly, Sulu’s gauges started at 9 and went to 10, with normal labeled 4-6. This implies the temperatures of the nacelles were around 9,000° with a max of 10,000° because their max operating temperature was around what Spock reported if each number was in thousands of degrees.
In real life, goodbye Enterprise, BOOM...☢️💣💥🎆, but exciting science fiction. I remember this scene well. Ted Cassidy (Lurch) does the voice of the menacing alien. Clint Howard is the real alien.
They changed the time "clock" in "The Naked Time" from an old-fashioned version with wheels that turn to a digital version, but the wheels have much more impact when time reverses, then goes forward again.
You can do that when you have the Best Chief Engineer and Command Crew in The Fleet! Captain Kirk knew Scotty and The Enterprise wouldn't let them down. He also knew that he'd be standing drinks for the Engineers at the next Starbase Layover. Lol
When I first saw the title "More Power," I thought you were referring to "The Doomsday Machine." Spock: "We need more power." Sulu: "We haven't got it! We're being pulled inside!."
most likekly inertia dampeners were tuned to warp speed alterations, even adding the impulse drive possibly destabilized the warp field just enough for it to ripple and have gravitational waves affect the ship as they reverberate throughout the warpfield bubble.
@@eurekasfavoritemanI was gonna say! The amount of energy that was being consumed, and the system close to destabilizing, it wouldn’t have been surprising if they were all floating above the deck, and slammed against a wall when the impulse engines were engaged!
That funky little kid was Clint Howard, brother to Ron Howard. Clint has been all over Star Trek, having been featured in TOS as Blalok, DS9 as the homeless guy who thought he could turn invisible when the crew was thrown back in time and Enterprise as one of the Ferengi.
8000 degrees is pretty tame. Considering to travel at the speed of light (or exceed it by 100 or 1000 times) you would have to have the energy expended by several suns going at all times.
Why on a spaceship should we adhere to the outdated conventions of Earth bound wet navys? In EARLY sailing vessels they had a steering board (called a starboard) fixed to one side of the stern of the boat... This was attached to the right side as you looked forward because most steering men were right handed and their stronger hand was nearer the board... When a ship came in to dock, the captain didn't want to crush the starboard against the stone docks so he would put the left side of the boat against the Port... Thus you get Starboard & Port sides... None of this would apply to a starship. And remember on a starship you have to think in 3D...
