Day of the Dove was a comment on the Cold War between the USA and the Soviet Union, but also any irrational hate such as race bigitory.
"You're either melanated or melanemic." That. Is. Awesome. I've never heard it put that way. Nice, Court!
Fun fact: In the novel of the first Star Trek movie (Motion Picture), McCoy had left Starfleet to study the Fabrini culture that had saved his life before Kirk called him back into service.
Good writing that Sulu would know of Chekov’s lack of a brother, while Kirk didn’t. The lower officers are closer to each other than the high ranking personnel.
This is a great point because my coworkers knew more about me than my boss did.
I love the uniforms of the Fabrini. They look like the most comfortable pajamas. They invented the Snuggie decades ahead of it's time.
Ansara slapping Kirk on the back at the end of the episode was apparently improvised by him. Shatner was not expecting it but being a pro he went with it. The moment makes me laugh everytime as you can totally tell Shatner wasn't expecting it.
Yes! You could absolutely see that it wasn't scripted. I love that they left it in there.
I never noticed that before. After that Nimoy looks like he wants to crack up but I think he was waiting for the director to yell 'cut'. Look at his face after the backslap.
Sulu karate chops a Klingon on his elbow and that knocks him out!?!?! Sulu sure knows the enemies weak spots...
A Klingons kidney is in his elbow
Sulu meant to karate chop Klingons neck, Oops
That leer from red shirt didn't mean pleasant thoughts
Trivia piece, Michael Ansara, lead Klingon villain in this episode, was married to Barbara Eden during this time period.
Thanks for sharing! I watched her in I Dream of Jeannie when I was a kid 😃
Michael Ansara appeared several times on I Dream of Jeannie in different roles. One time as a Major, as King Kamehameha, and the Blue Djinn
What surprises me is the length of his career. He had been acting from 1944 to 2001.
@@timmooney7528 Indeed, Ansara appearing on _Jeannie_ as the Blue Djinn, the cad who trapped Jeannie in her bottle 2000 years ago - how elegant to cast Eden's real-life husband in that role! (And the "Major" was exploited by Jeannie's conniving sister, also played by Eden, to play smoochie...)
He also played the soldier in Harlan Ellison 's classic Outer Limits episode 'soldier'.
That's the episode Harlan said James Cameron plagiarized for The Terminator.
I'm not sure but I think he played a small role in The Ten Commandments along side Charleston Heston.
Since Bones is my favorite, I always loved "For the World is Hollow" because I like the glimpses we get of his inner conflicts and loneliness. He's a lot like Spock, in my opinion, in that he keeps his own pain and past very close to his chest -- he just hides it behind a different mask. It's not the strongest episode as far as plot, but I love any character moments TOS will give me 🧡
I agree with you. You can tell that Bones and Spock have a lot of similarities.I appreciate the moments we get to see with them on screen.
I love the way you combine the emotional and intellectual aspects in your reactions. I wish we were friends.
That is so sweet of you to say!
Any Kligon story is about the cold War. Here we have two equally matched forces in perpetual fighting. Hello, that's the cold war.
Spock's racial comment meant that OUTSIDE forces were manipulating racial tensions in the US
A bit of trivia, on The World is Hollow, the older man who brought them the herb & later died also played the head survivor in The Cage, he introduced Vina to Pike.
I thought his face looked familiar, but I couldn't place it.
@@CourtReacts-zm9yv he was also killed by a Lawgiver in "Return of the Archons."
" COOL"
"Day of the Dove" was written by the writer of "Mirror, Mirror". Speaking of energy-entities that feed off certain emotions, recall the one in "Wolf in the Fold" that fed off of FEAR. These beings are definitely NOT fun to have around!
Jerome Bixby. He also wrote the classic twilight zone episode 'its a good life' which starred a very young Billy Mumy several years before Lost in Space.
Looks like Red Jack (from "Wolf in the Fold") had a cousin. Or maybe it woke up and stretched and thought, "hey, look what I can do now!"
For the 30th anniversary of the series, Paramount released special boxed sets of VHS tapes for each season. Each tape had an introduction by a member of the cast. These introductions can be seen on CZcams.
One of the stories about "Day of the Dove" was that Kor (from "Errand of Mercy") was to be the commander of the Klingon ship. But John Colicos was working out of the country and couldn't do this episode. So the script was revised and Michael Ansara was cast as the new character Kang instead. I think the scene where Kang knocks Kirk down at the beginning of the episode would have been different because Colicos is shorter than Shatner, whereas Ansara is 5 inches taller.
Kang, Koloth ("The Trouble with Tribbles"), and Kor will all appear much later in the franchise in some wonderful stories.
Looks again like Rand's wig lives! The actress who played Natira was English, and she was married to Patrick Macnee at the time this episode was filmed.
I must say if I were Chekov after getting punched out by Kirk I would have rather he dragged me by heels or neck to sick bay rather than pick me like a "Damsel in Distress" but that's just me LOL! I do hope you will continue your Star Trek Journey with the movies and the Next Generation series. I believe the Klingons as a warrior race and species are more fleshed out and given more character development in that show.
Lol I am sure he would have preferred that too. I plan on watching the movies and the Next Generation Series. The journey won't end here! 😁
I would love to see a 2024 Star trek series focused on Klingons and set in the TOS time line so they can bring the evolved lore to the old era.
"Day of the Dove"
1. Bottom 1/3 for me on this one.
2. The redemptions are the various character development and how they made a hot Klingon woman.😍😋😈
"For The World Is Hollow..."
This is an interesting story. Things I noticed:
1. Sending an entire society on a multi-generational journey without them knowing they're inside a spaceship is foolish.
2. McCoy literally gets the love.
3. Cradle snatcher maybe? Bones has 20 years on her.
4. Fun fact, James Doohan/Scotty is the voice of the oracle.
Love the fun facts! I had no idea that was James. Now I need to go back and take a listen.
The World is Hollow probably my favorite of these 2......interesting concept, being on board a ship for 10,000 yrs. and not knowing it. Wonder if the idea for The Truman Show came from this episode? Enjoyed these reactions Courtney, love the way you break things down.
Thank you so much! It really is an interesting concept.
Funny how each season has at least one or two episodes with an oppressive computer in charge of it's people. It's like the writers have a dart board with different story ideas, and the dart keeps hitting the "oppressive computer" category.
There is definitely a theme happening every season.
@@CourtReacts-zm9yv Happening soon here, try to remember some of Kirk's speeches!
26:00 when the dishevelled old man walks in "hi can we help you" lol
Lol he just rolled on in
@@CourtReacts-zm9yv lol i think he was the same older guy in the pilot episode when he had that funny line delivery "Her name is Vina her parents are dead"
McCoy only woke up about a minute later than Kirk and Spock. There was no need for Spock to make such a big deal out of it.
There is an excellent novel called _Star Trek: Ex Machina_ written by Christopher L. Bennett, which is a sequel to "For the World is Hollow...", but it is set soon after the events of _Star Trek: The Motion Picture,_ so I recommend _not_ reading it until after you see the movie first. McCoy has multiple issues to deal with, and Kirk's reputation for being a slayer of mechanical gods is working very much against him. Bennett (the author) has never disappointed me with any Trek novel he's written.
Day of the Dove was definitely one of my favorite episodes. Anything featuring Starfleet's adversaries Klingons, Romulans, Tholians, Space Hippies, etc. is just pure gold to me. I would like to suggest you take a look at Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Star Trek Voyager as Kirk's opponents from the original series reprised their roles with new storylines. The actors who originally played Kor, Kang and Koloth (John Colicos, Michael Ansara and WIlliam Campbell) appeared together in one epic, very memorable DS0 episode. Check it out!
Hey, Courtney! Michael Ansara returned to play Kang along with William Campbell's Koloth and John Colicos' Kor in an episode of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" thirty years later! All three actors reprised their Klingon roles for that special episode.
Hey! Hope you are well! Looking forward to seeing this episode in the future 😁
Kirk got. BSlapped by Kang, "OUCH 'look
This is a fun channel
Both really good season three episodes. Day of the Dove is my favorite of the two. That said the second one featuring McCoy is awesome too.
Yes! We love to see more McCoy!
In the remake of the Time Machine there is a very clear but unstated message about race and 'melanation'.
For the world is hollow was basically copied in the series the orville
I have been thinking about what you said about race , and you can respond o this comment in any video you do, not direct quote, jus the general idea of it, but your comment changes nothing. We as a people sill judge each other by our physical traits. We still group and separate our selves by color, hair, language, religion, continent, land border, biology, whatever. Even if you had he power of Trelane and could snap your fingers and make any thing happen, and you could make us all he same color, purple maybe, we would still separate our selves. Equality is impossible. That is eugenics and genocide and assimilation. We should learn o respect each other regardless of differences. Embrace them. Grow up with them. Discuss them. Not try to eliminate them. Your biology is some thing to own, embrace and be proud of, not change or hide or claim doesn't exist. We should spread out leave our home owns and build countifies with greater diversity so that children grow up seeing every way of living every day so it becomes normal. We are races we are wo genders we are cultures we are religions and we should love that not run away from it. those things are only defined by visual observation. Our hobbies and inheres and foods and music , hair, politics, clothing, do not define us. we are defined by our heritage not by what others say we are no by what we say we are but by what DNA says we are. This irrefutable scientific fact has zero impact on how others rea us or how we treat others. blind us all and we'll treat each other no different hen when we could see. we treat each other on our opinions and our morals. this is from upbringing not color no gender. our color and gender don't matter. what maters is how we treat others.
what color and gender and body type does is it sets up signals. we judge on 1s impressions, on looks information assumed by sight and statistics and past personal experience. If five people who all share he same look all ac the same way we assume the 6th one will act the same way too.
and looks CAN predict how we act. Our cloths, our hair, our cars, our houses, our belongings, our music, our other things, i all says some thing about our preferences. If you see in blue jeans, a blue demon jacket, an American flag bandana and sunglasses he's likely a motorcycle owner and a right wing member. He may no be, but your mind decides before you mee him on who he is and you're probably right.
at the same time you can no assume that "all men only want sex" or that "all Asians know kung Fu"
but every one of us has judged and hated some one before. Look for a commenter in a Ghostbusters 2016 video or a Velma video or a Little Mermaid Live Action Reboot video and you have already made up your mind about that person with out seeing them.
Race is real. Race is biological. Race should no be erased. Race doesn't matter and equally will never exist. a world with out hate is impossible. and you hate too. If we want to change things we need o make shore that as young as possible we show kids every color, every culture, every gender, every religion, explain them and show them in cartoons and movies and v shows doing good things.
we ae how we are now because we were raised to believe THIS way was RIGHT we need to change that.
This was created at a time when the writers knew how to write compelling stories the audience knows their Star Trek character family will never die. Killing off of main characters, in in my mind, emblematic of lazy writing designed for shock effect.
Not a singin heart! Bleh!
