Kirk had to work too hard for that win.
Just look at how the Satellite of Love crew dealt with Monad in comparison.

I must admit to being a little disappointed at the lack of probe jokes, but I suppose that just means Chuck is a bit more mature than me.

So what is the episode "The Changling" about, a miniature Chinese guy?

I thought I remembered MST3k referenced this episode. Episode 706 Laserblast?CMWaters wrote: Just look at how the Satellite of Love crew dealt with Monad in comparison.

I think it shines a light on Roddenberry's religious beliefs. However much he was irreligious the frequency of this kind of antagonist makes me feel he was more of a religious person who lost their faith and things continued to bug him than someone who simply left that all behind him.Wargriffin wrote:Its very Lovecraftian...Rocketboy1313 wrote:For a show ostensibly about the power of humanity striking out into the stars there is a comical number of insane gods floating around that could blast us all to ash in an instant.
Granted Gene always just viewed them more as an annoyance...
With their frequency you'd think there would be a dedicated branch of Starfleet whose only job is to find and KILL these things!

This episode has one of my favorite deadpan Spock lines, "Captain, your logic was flawless. We are in grave danger."
