The Naked Time

   In this episode it seem's the problems of the previous episode have once again been fixed. Uhura and Yeoman Rand, and McCoy are back, Spock is dressed in his normal blue, my wonderful red shirts are back, and the chess board destroyed by Charlie is no where in sight. CONTINUITY PEOPLE!!!

       The plot in this episode centers around a disease that is passed through human contact, later to found out by McCoy is spread through water. For example Spock tears. Yep. You read that right. And no I am not mistaken. Spock cries. Real tears. OF SORROW! He's generally sad. 

     Turns out the disease brings out your most pre-dominant emotions which means when it comes to Spock it just brings out emotions in general since he'd been suppressing them for so long. This episode is really cool because it does bring a deeper look into Spock's history a little bit. But one of my favorite parts is when Nurse Christine Chapel is struck by this disease. Her most pre-dominant emotion is lust for Spock which turns into full blown "I love you Spock!" Him having to repress his emotions makes him feel bad for rejecting her and with the disease infecting him it pulls this out and suddenly he's crying. Poor Spock. Poor suddenly emotional Spock.

   Sulu being infected is quite fun too seeing as how he starts running around the ship with a sword without a shirt on trying to fight random people. It takes quite a few men to subdue Sulu so that they can take him to the sick bay.

    Kirk is the last infected with the disease. Mainly because of his own sheer stupidity really. The disease is spread by water, so what does he do? He slaps Spock's face right after he'd been crying. You're slapping someone so what is your emotion? Anger. Kirk got anger amplified. Most people got restlessness, paranoia, giddiness, love, or in Spock's case sadness. But nooooo! Kirk, bless his soul, had to get anger. 

    As this disease is making it's way through everyone's system the Enterprise is plummeting it's way toward a planet thanks to Lieutenant Riley. His reaction to the disease made him take over the engine  room, kicking Scotty out the room. So of course, when things start going all wonky Scotty can't fix it. 

   Eventually Scotty breaks himself into his own engine room and mixes anti-matter with matter by using a special formula. This makes the ship move, and the sets it going back in time, and with some quick thinking on Kirk's part they get it going right round in time again. 

   While that's going down McCoy finds a cure for the disease and gets everyone cured and HUZZAH! The day is saved thanks to...Dr. McCoy!
