Have been enjoying my copy just this weekend.

We can debate that when the time comes.

1) No identification of self or mission, 2) No interference with the social development of a planet, and 3) No references to space, other worlds, or advanced civilizations.

Yes we do. They recite its provisions early in the episode. #TOSSatNight

Not enough.

In Bread and Circuses they don’t deny that they all swear an oath to die rather than violate the Directive. But in the very same episode they proceed to violate it chapter and verse. #TOSSatNight

Well, now you’re all on your own, but don’t worry, you might enjoy it, a lot. #TOSSatNight

He’s not by the book when it comes to the Prime Directive, though. #TOSSatNight

I want to see Kirk try to argue Vaal into self-destruction the way he does with other machines. #TOSSatNight

Keith Andes, who plays Akuta, gives a good performance as General George Marshall in the movie Tora! Tora! Tora!. #TOSSatNight

Should have taken the shuttlecraft. #TOSSatNight

Interesting that Scotty is so eager to get some R&R on this planet, as he usually prefers to stay aboard and catch up on his technical journals. #TOSSatNight

Damn spores again. #TOSSatNight

New limits on school loans could narrow physician and nurse pipeline, educators warn Under new Trump administration rules, students won't be able to borrow as much for medical or nursing school or some other health professions.

“A judge has ruled that the original model of the Starship Enterprise belongs to the son of the late “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry and not two men suing an auctioneer over the replica’s sale.” mynewsla.com/hollywood/20...

I think George missed 10 episodes while working on the John Wayne movie. Unfortunate. #TOSSatNight

I agree with Hengist, this is fantasy. #TOSSatNight

Surely they’ve heard of copycat murders. #TOSSatNight

“There will be no error.” There, nothing more to discuss. Why are they accepting Kirk’s claims that the accuracy of the machine is factual? After all, he’s behaving like someone desperately trying to exhonorate his friend. #TOSSatNight

If I were an Argillian, I would not trust Kirk’s computerized claptrap. #TOSSatNight

Arriflex in the rafters again. #TOSSatNight

How do we know that the jurisprudence on this planet isn’t “guilty until proven innocent?” #TOSSatNight

They seem amazingly blazé about a dead crewman, not even making arrangements to return the body to the ship. #TOSSatNight

I want one of them “psycho” tricorders. #TOSSatNight

This is a flawed script for sure.

For those of us who grew up in the Great Lakes region in the 1970s, we will never forget the tragic loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald 50 years ago. This is one of the articles that inspired Canadian songwriter Gordon Lightfoot to compose his award-winning tribute “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.”

Go get ‘em Scotty! #TOSSatNight

There Kirk goes again, interfering with the practices of another culture. #TOSSatNight

This episode is a sartorial nadir for the series. #TOSSatNight
