TOS S01E17 Shore Leave

[petronia]

It's that one "recreational" planet by which we mean they put LSD in the drinking water! FACEBOOK PROFILE PIC TIME WHAT WHAT

Highlights of this ep:

* McCoy's face
* McCoy's pimpmeister skillz
* Kirk's awkward nerd past
* everyone's 30-second attention spans
* the fact that the episode makes no effort to explain why a samurai attacks Sulu, cos it's Sulu and this is like the third time already
* I mean you're more surprised he didn't meet D'Artagnan, Batman, and the Master Chief on the road while he was at it
* IT'S A BIRD IT'S A PLANE
* I would burn a stick of incense to the spirits of Roddenberry and Sturgeon to get a look at the script directions for the backrub scene

Theodore Sturgeon, the first K/S shipper. XD (And also a man whose name I have invoked many times, due to his Law.)

The timing. XD The third time around I watched Barrows, who doesn't even have a spoken line in the scene, and she was great.

"Why did he just tense up again all of a su--" *sees Spock, gets it* *represses massive eyeroll* *goes off to hit on McCoy*
