Nope, it’s a dead, moon-like world.

Diana Muldauer was hot

I love the episode synopsis — “what could go wrong?”

have no fear….sargon is here.

Nimoy ruled in this episode. Such a 180 from the Spock character. And those Purple Gas Jets of Death in Sickbay could definitely use a makeover.

If I remember correctly, the brief scene in which we see the almost-finished android body is usually cut in syndication, even though without the androids never get beyond some circuit boards that never take shape. The scene with the android body is the moment Thalassa decides to keep Dr. Mulhall’s body. It’ll be interesting to see if they make the same cuts.

Diana Muldaur’s one of those actresses that some get all hot and bothered about that I truly do NOT understand. I mean, she’s ok, but not close to the majority of hot actresses on Trek. Maybe I just can’t get that Dr. Pulaski (or the old and aged Pulaski) out of my head. WAIT, nope, that’s not it. I had seen this episode at least 25 times before TNG 1st aired on TV. Hmmmmmmm…..

Bring on Janice Rand in her “nightie” next week. Ah, Grace…..

And a fine job CBS Digital has done with it too. Whew, thank goodness, these “Earth-like” planets they’d been doing recently were beginning to stack up.

#7- it’s the eyes dude, the eyes.

I always got as kick out of seeing, in the end credits of one of the episodes, ( not sure which one) the “freeze-frame” of the android actor pulling the latex off his face. I just hope they touch up that feathery “tickle” effect of that attack against McCoy. Never did like that.

I didn’t like the way those glowing balls looked.

I think they should all be cgi’ed….

ROTFLMAO!!!

I don’t see what is so all-fired great about Muldaur either. And her voice is kind of irritating.
Rand is overrated as well. Give me Yeoman Barrows.

Well, put me down in the “Muldaur is incredibly hot, at least in this episode” column.

Diana Muldaur was hot because of her intelligence. Intelligence is sexy. She is one of the few “eye candy” guest stars who displayed some of it. She is a breath of fresh air when compared to the sexy (but rather empty headed) Shanna from “Gamesters of Triskelion.”

I like my women smart, what can I say?

It’s a much better role than Miranda… or McCloud’s girlfriend.

Yeoman Barrows the smouldering brunette.
Mmmm, tasty.

re: 12. Ucklak

I like Shahna…She has a “quiet” intelligence…

Ah, Shanna from “Gamesters of Triskelion”. Smart as a bag of hammers, but nice “eye candy”!! Whooohoooo!!

16. I think Harry Mudd’s Stella is simply stellar.

I watched the show this afternoon. The android is cut. Muldaur is gorgeous - the face, the eyes, the hair, the figure, the voice, *and* she’s smart. As I said in another thread, she would have made an amazing “first female starship captain” in an episode if the show had gone into a fourth season. I would have completely believed her in a gold miniskirt and in command of a starship.

As for the effects, the entering orbit shot was really beautiful and the planet looked essentially like the moon. It could have stood to have looked a little more cataclysmic for my money. The globes were the same. No set extention in the globe vault room a la the touched up photo in the Star Trek Encyclopedia. And the Gas-Flames-of-Death didn’t jump out as any different to me, but I confess its been a long time (gettin’ from there to here) since I’ve seen the original version of this episode.

Nimoy is terrific, De Kelley has some good bits (”I will not PEDDLE FLESH!”), James Doohan’s voice as Sargon is spectacular, and Shatner’s performance is a bit over the top as Sargon, but it works remarkably well. And he has at least a half dozen “punched in the gut by by something the audience can’t see” sudden squirming scenes that are classic Shatner. Not a brilliant episode but entertaining and more than watchable. And I say again, Diana Muldaur is gorgeous in this episode. Stunning, elegant, beautiful, intelligent. Dr. Ann Mulhall was the total package. I hope Gene got some of that. Did I say that out loud?

Count me in with the others. I like my men and women smart. Actually, look at this page and you’ll see that a lot of the women of TOS are pretty great, both looks and personality wise. Whoever says they were all just eye candy is obviously an ignoramus.

http://allyourtrekarebelongto.us/toswomen.htm

Hey, hey, hey…..I didn’t say they were ALL “eye candy”, just Shanna from “Gamesters of Triskelion”!!! Of course, every other woman ever depicted on Trek was a friggin’ GENIUS by comparison!

Ever notice that when a chick is involved, they’re an automatic plot device to have your good intentions blow up in your face? LMAO

Rayna Kapec - the android was beyond all that was HOT - sweet and very fine! Nice looking face - the most beautiful eyes - etc.
However…..who can’t forget the opening and delicious MONEY SHOT of Elaan Of Troyius? She may have been a loudmouth - ill mannered bitch but that gorgeous view of her vertical smile on the transporter pad was 2 sweet!

I have to disagree, Duane. I think the hottest android was Andrea in ‘What Are Little Girls Made of?”

Here is the scene we don’t get to see in RtT:

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Image:Henoch_thallassa.jpg

That male android that Spock and that woman are looking at is HOT?
Hmm…..I guess I need better glasses or perhaps to have my own head examined because that doesn’t do anything for me. Ick!

Andrea was too complacent and quick to obliterate you with a phaser for my personal liking. Besides….If Roger said Andrea….kiss him or do that she all
too happy to hit the sheets or whatever. Also….i think Ruk wore her out some.

I always just hear Doohan whenever he does his “voices”

# 13 and others, about Muldaur

Absolutely. She’s the only female guest star from all of TOS that I can remember who sounded legitimately intelligent and confident in her own right, without even a whiff of the wispy, poor-little-girl submissive/deferential air (or out-of-her-depth whininess) that nearly all of the female characters (and/or actresses) had during that era to some degree or another. She’s believable as an officer and as a scientist. (And yes, she would’ve made an excellent captain in some other hypothetical episode).

Addendum: Okay, T’Pring wasn’t submissive or whiny.

Sorry to be off-topic but why aren’t “the Cloud Minders” and “Obsession” listed? Will they not be remastered?

Andrea was Androidiffic.
Rayna Kapec? Come on!!! You must be kidding.

Let’s not forget Kelinda. Stanky like that Kelinda.

Diana Moldaur…no thank you.

The “second season” schedule of remasters has not been released yet, but the remastering is supposed to be complete by mid 2008. This paves the way for the release of Star Trek XI:”We Going to Make the Original Fans Mad” in December of 2008.

Mark me down in the column labelled “Diana Muldaur is hot”.

It took me a few years to figure out that Doohan did a lot of the voiceovers.

In addition, I just noticed in “By Any Other Name” that when McCoy and Spock were in emergency manual monitor sizing up the paralysis projector that you could see through the grill that William Shatner was standing on the upper deck of the main engineering section talking to one of the Kelvins below. It explained why when Spock and McCoy wrapped things up, Kirk ran into them in the hallway outside of engineering. A small thing, but I just noticed it after seeing this ep several hundred times.

To quote my boy Trekkieguy, “Yeah, I know it’s just a TV show.”

Duane: He wasn’t saying that male android was hot. He was posting the image so others who might not have seen the uncut version of this episode can see what this syndicated-cut bit is about.

Yeah…..Rayna was totally babe-lishous! As in Yum….Yum….I want her Bum!
Ok….thats getting silly and a bit vulgar…..but who does it hurt?
And lets not forget Elaan Of Troyous. As mentioned earlier….her money shot on the Transporter Pad could make anyone melt…..Like some butter on your syrup?

# 33 : I see said the blind man! I can see why they cut it - very substandard!

I think Diana Muldaur is too 60’s…outdated…and she really looks like a cartoon. I think she should be CGI.

TTM

Awesome show. Looooooooved that flyby, in the begining. Beautimus craft! At least in this episode they’re not turning it into TAS!

I don’t think there’s enough mention of the sound. The visual are great, but the audio is equally astounding. I blasted this ep through my Dolby, Surround Sound system and WOW! I know it may ne be in stereo, but you can really get a feel for the music and the background effects….

Diana Muldar was OK, but I liked her outfits better in ITITNB.

As Pulaski She seemed to play McCoy, fairly well.

As for the Shat! AWESOME! Nimsey did a hell of job in this ep as well.

All in all, one of my favorites.

Looking forward to Charlie X, just not looking forward to the TASsification.

Please, please CBS digital. NO MORE TAS REFS!

NO MORE TAS!!!!!!!!!

I met the actress who played Shanna at a science fiction convention. She looked *exactly* the same even though it was twenty years later.

Incidentally, one of the vendors was also selling nude pictures of her.

You forget Joan “Areel Shaw” Marshall as the prosecuting attorney in Court Martial.

I never met Angelique Pettyjohn at a convention, but I may have an interview she did on Creature Features (Bob Wilkins’ San Francisco local show which ran horror/sci-fi movies late at night).

The flames were extended and enhanced in this Remastered episode.

Yeah, and go figure the “Gas flames of death” were on screen a heck of a lot longer than the wipey face girl in Charlie X.

Ya think they are going to even touch that? LMAO!!!

#38:
Angelique Pettyjohn has also worked in adult films.

————————————————-
Diana Muldaur’s character is a welcome relief from the usual fare on 60’s Trek..a bright, thoughtful woman.. What a pleasure.

“Absolutely.

She’s believable as an officer and as a scientist. (And yes, she would’ve made an excellent captain in some other hypothetical episode).”

There were other (believably) intelligent ladies of Starfleet:

Lt. Charlene Masters (”The Alternative Factor”).

Dr. Elizabeth Dehner (”Where No Man Has Gone Before”).

Mira Romaine (”The Lights of Zetar”).

Yeoman Martha Landon (”The Apple”; despite her romance with Davy Jon-er–Chekov, she held her own and had the rare position of being a TOS woman who kicks butt).

…and how can we forget the first–Number One (”The Cage”).

About Diana Muldaur….well, she’s solid in her performance, but her pencil legs and rolled-out lip leave much to be desired.

SHE WAS HOT!!!! (Diana Muldaur) I think you are a cartoon that could use some good CGI work!

Sorry, STILL don’t see what others see in her. I mean, whether she’s Pulaski or Muhlhal (however you spell it), it’s almost like Tomorrow Is Yesterday rather than Return To Tomorrow…right, mrregular? Oh well, I’d rather be chasing Dr. Crusher.

P.S.-Sorry about the inside joke to mrregular, but our Omaha station KXVO “strikes again.”

We’ll find out next week.

Not one of you has mentioned the retire-the-award hottest babe?

You losers can have everyone you have named above. I’ll go home with
Lt. Helen Noel, thankyouverymuch.

Marianna Hill, from Dagger of the Mind. I rest my case. Denny Crane!

48. Marianna Hill

Cameo scene with Marianna Hill in new dvd release “Coma Girl: The State of Grace” available from dvdempire.com …
She’s playing “old” as a mother in this brief scene, but she still looks great. Like to see her at the Xmas party.
And who can forget her in the original “I, Robot” episode of OUTER LIMITS…same episode with Leonard Nimsy.

#48-I hope you are in the sharing mood. I’ve been hot for her since I was 13…and that was 28 years ago!

I have only one thing to say: Diana Muldaur was uber-HAWT in this one! I mean…just look at her in that red starfleet dress…SHWING!!!! HOT!!!

I defy you to not acknowledge her complete and total hotness!

An addendum…the Trek chick as hot as Diana in this one is the uber…Oh…MY..GOD…hotness of the gal in Shore Leave. I mean…day-um.

# 51 “I defy you to not acknowledge her complete and total hotness!”

From hell’s heart, I stab at thee! Not as hot as Marianna Hill in this, or any other reality. The Shore Leave babe is getting you a bit warmer, but Helen Noel still rules.

BTW # 50, while I appreciate your fine taste, I’m not sharing. Sorry.
