Maria, her arms outstretched.
I admit I was delighted with that episode!
I thought it was fun! But I felt cheated with Spock and Chapel. They definitely should have had a duet. I’m also upset that they didn’t resolve it in any meaningful way at the end.
Not lost on me that Robert Wise, who directed ‘Sound of Music,’ also directed ‘ST: The Motion Picture.’
And “The Day the Earth Stood Still”, which apparently Captain Pike plays on repeat.
Before there was the Kobayashi Maru, there was Pike’s ‘Klaatu Barada Nikto’ test…

“When you transported the people off the planet, did you say the words to send them to the correct ship?”
“Yeah, basically.”
“Did you beam them to THIS SHIP?!?!”
“Look, maybe I didn’t send them to our ship. But basically I sent them to A ship, yeah.”
Who wants to guess which of the main cast was previously nominated for a Tony?
I loved the episode. Some people hate it and say it’s way out of tune for Star Trek, but I don’t think it’s any worse than the crew turning into Robin Hood or being trapped in a board game
