A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
After "The Naked Time" (the spore episode) aired, Nimoy's fan mail abruptly went through the roof.
Prior to that episode, Spock was simply an emotionless alien. After that, his character was suddenly a lot more complicated.
I've heard that, but I think it was a different episode. It was one where everyone on the ship became super emotional, and Spock is in his quarters trying to talk himself down, saying "I am in control of my emotions" and then crying.
Damn, I'm surprised at how difficult it is for me to recall specifics....
eta: X-posty. Dana remembers well the two episodes in question....
My favorite insult of Spock was when McCoy (I think) calls him a "pointy-eared hobgoblin." What EP was that?

That's also the ep where we find out that Nurse Chappell has been pining for Spock.
I loved The Naked Time. I'm still hanging onto it on my TiVo, wondering if I should buy it in iTunes. So far my keepers include The Menagerie, The Naked Time, and that one with the cloud people.
It's interesting--they could be complex, but man, they could be so damned hamfisted and internally contradictory.
At first I thought she was storing flesh to repair herself--is she going to keep that cut forever?
I thought that she was just removing it to get to the endoskeleton.
My favorite was from Star Trek 3 when they informed Dr. McCoy he was suffering after-effects from a mindmeld and he exclaimed, "That green-blooded sonofabitch! It's his revenge for all those arguments he lost!"
I thought she kept the hard-drive.
I think my favorite Trek:TOS is Mirror, Mirror. DS9 only increased my irrational love of the mirror verse.
Completely rational! I share it, too.
Nana Visitor totally rocked the house as the Intendant. Sooooo deliciously evil.
