Classic Star Trek rewatch #6 S02E05 Amok Time

Accompanying Spock to his home planet, Kirk witnesses an ancient wedding ritual, but finds that being best man is not without its dangers. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8n...eo/x8n1476 "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Does anyone object to extending this run of rewatches? If not, are there any other favourites we need to rewatch? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Nurse Chappell pushes too far and her dreams turn to china in her hand, while the stuntmen definitely earn their wages - which is more than you can say for Chekhov's barber. My suggestion for a 'supplemental' was 'Day of the Dove' as our schedule needs to up its Klingon content. I can get behind 'Devil in the Dark': there simply aren't enough pergium mines on TV these days. 'Space Shakespeare' - I mean 'Conscience' - too: it'd make a change to watch something about a string of unexplained deaths somewhere other than Midsomer. Plus the one where Kirk beams down to planet Virn and discovers who the mysterious 'AL' is.

Admin Posts: 14115 Joined: 14.01.22	Thanks for the ideas. They are now on the list, and perhaps we should agree that ten Classic ST's is enough for now? We can always go back and have another block of them someday. Weren't we supposed to be rewatching the Prisoner? And what's this about Babylon 5?

Well, at least I'll be able to dodge the flying Vulcan soup. Both The Prisoner & Babylon 5 have been regularly bandied as rewatch options by sundry Horizoners (although personally I'd sit them out).
