Topic	This is good Star Trek

The other story I remember is Nichols thinking of leaving the show after one (?) season only to randomly meet MLK Jr who pointed out the impact she was having on younger generations that didn't follow politics MLK Jr. was a big fan of the series, and sent Uhura a very special piece of fan mail that was a big part of the reason Nichols stayed on board! :) I can only imagine the on set and behind the scenes discussion with Shatner and Nichols' actions for the infamous kiss scene, though. They probably couldn't replace Shatner. But I would bet my last paycheque CBS would have wanted Nichols gone for pulling stunts like that. Wink of an Eye - Far and away my favourite episode of the season. Star Trek was a good many things, and another one of those good things is that it gives female characters, both hero and villain real agency! Deela and Rael are both tragic villains, and I actually felt really bad for them. If you were trapped in a literally unmoving world like that, how far would you go to save yourself? Which is why I felt not even attempting to save them at the end was particularly, well, cold. But, for them I guess, there really was no good ending out for them. No clear path to victory. Still, they could have shared the Scalosian radiation antidote :/ Like no, Spock, don't speak up now. Let's doom the last 5 Scalosians to almost assured extinction. It's okay, lol. They'll be gone from your mind and the mortal realm in, give or take 27.5668413 earth minutes. Fantastic episode, imo 9.5/10 --- Resident Shiny Hunter of CE 307 Shinys and counting! <cite>EyeWontBeFooled posted [p:976608985] in This is go...
