I’m slowly and tediously working my way through ST:TNG season 1.

Very clever! And thorough. Thanks for posting this analysis.

“Spectre of the Gun” has a pretty surreal set and I could easily imagine it as a play.

TOS “The Empath”

Egads this is hard! I got two lines in and gave up. Free to anyone who wants to continue:

Captain Pike, Number One, emotional Spock, Talos IV,

Alien zoo, laser overload, General Order 7,

Great site! Alexander Siddig was on the first episode of Foundation, btw.

I had to go to my settings and click English to see them. Apparently I just had Undetermined. (I hope you can see this!)

Upon further reflection, I feel like this episode undermines the plot of “The Galileo Seven”. Spock is a very able commander in 2x01 when years later he struggles on an away mission…

A little remarked side effect of time travel is that it causes infatuation (Kirk, in “City on the Edge of Forever”) and horniness (Spock, in “All Our Yesterdays”). La’An experienced both!

Edit: I forgot about Bashir and Jadzia in “Trials and Tribble-ations” but honestly they just seemed to be acting in character!
