Mira Mira off the wall...

Greetings, Trek fans! I’m Mira, your acting captain of the U.S.S. Original Series Rewatch for this episode, “The Naked Time.” Before we set course, you all have permission to take a minute and salivate over the possibilities conjured up by that title.

...Okay, ready for the real deal? No? Too bad. Here we go!



The Enterprise crew is intoxicated by an inhibition-stripping contagion. (Memory-Alpha).

( Episode Summary )

I’d like to thank all three of you who stuck with me through this entire recap. If you’re somehow still jonesin’ for more, check out TNG’s semi-sequel “The Naked Now” (a.k.a. the episode which reveals Data is “fully functional”), or share your own reactions in the comments. Otherwise, I’ll see you all next week back over at such_heights’s journal for a true sci-fi classic, “City on the Edge of Forever.” "Charlie X." Until then, live long and prosper!

As those who read my LiveJournal know, I was somewhat dismissive of the Star Trek trailer when I first saw it. Well, after a couple of weeks of reading everyone else's squees, I finally caved in and went.

Turns out my initial impression was right on one point. McCoy was awesome. But for the most part, so was the rest.

( Minor spoilers under cut )

There's other stuff I'd like to geek out about in more detail, but it's late, and I'm probably going to see Up tomorrow, so it can wait. In the meantime, I'm just going to try and stop replaying scenes in my head long enough to get to sleep.
