What am I, a doctor or a moonshuttle conductor?
I just watched the TOS episode "The Corbomite Maneuver." Which I always get mixed up with "Balance of Terror," because they're both basically everybody sitting on the bridge going, "Well I don't know. What do you think?" while one bridge officer who will never be seen again goes batshit loco because of Teh Preshoars ZORMG. Which is not to say that I don't love both of those episodes. But the absolute best thing about "The Corbomite Maneuver"? (Aside from it being one of the early, early eps in the production where they haven't figured out yet that Spock doesn't yell and Uhura's uniform shouldn't be gold?) Has to be the fact that Kirk spends the first five minutes of the episode shirtless, including (and this is the part that has me sporfling like mad at my TV) walking around the ship without his shirt and CARRYING HIS BOOTS. That he keeps calling Spock and nattering at him bare chested is just icing on the giggle cake.
