Can you imagine how hot the poor actor in the Gorn suit must have been during filming? Stay hydrated buddy! I bet they had to pipe water in. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Even slower-motion fighting than B7! When people go on about the poor quality effects in Blakes 7, I always feel like reminding them that this is the competition - it's no more realistic. |

He's expecting weapons to grow on trees! And don't talk so loud, Kirk. Mr Gorn has ears.

I just assumed they were made of styrofoam as a kid, and I guess that’s just what I’ve stuck with thinking over the years! “Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light.

It's as if Kirk is so used to vlogging he can't stop telling everyone what he's doing.

If the Gorn are an intelligent species, then presumably all of its hissing is a language. I wonder what he’s muttering to himself the entire time?

Kind of the Metrons to include close ups and wide angle shots. ;-)

Kirk could whip off his shirt and strangle the Gorn with it, thus revealing his manly chest.

So the Metrons are doing the filming? I was wondering how we got to see it since there are the only two beings on the planet.

Did Shatner do his own stunts? The big fights use a stunt double. There's a scene in the Tribble episode where the stunt double is one of a number of crewmen drinking in the bar. When DS 9 did their episode based on it, one of their crew (O'Brien I think) mistakes him for Kirk. |
