    “In this galaxy there’s a mathematical probability of 3 million earth type planets; & in all the universe, 3 million million galaxies like this...and in all of that...and perhaps more, only one of each of us. Don’t destroy the one named Kirk.”

      Not necessarily. That alien robot in throughout the episodes were reasoned with with pure logic that even Spock didn't think the Captain had in him. He used his brain snd his intuative insight to causd these alien robots snd machines to disinagrate. In the episode Requiem For Methuselah, it was the female android who's emotions that were being born within herself that csused her to self destruct, as Mr. Spock explained.

      I was brought up on characters spitting a proverb a scene. The state of Star Trek today reflects the state of humanity - we're disillusioned. Our heroes are no longer students of nature. I watched Gladiator the other day, teary-eyed with almost every bar Maximus spat. One in particular - "Nothing happens to anyone that he is not fitted by nature to bear".

      Me, too, Some of those scenes brought tears to my eyes.. tears of wonder, tears of joy, tears of sorrow. I'd run and look at star maps, or look up a book or a poem they mentioned, think about the meaning of life.
      It is Hollywood that is disillusioned and hopeless... I still believe that mankind can and will grow wiser and, mature over time... and did you catch that bit about 'we have learned not to fear words' - think about that within the context of these times, every day the Social Justice warrior wackos make another language rule ... the latest was, that I remember, was the 'Wuhan virus' can't be called that... but we have ALWAYS called epidemics after the place it seemed to originate. I personally want to rebel against the SJWS. I'm and old woman and tired of them. I have always loved the name of one of their episodes ... 'For the world is hollow and I have touched the sky' .... it is actually a very wise thought if you take in the context of the meaning of existence... a very mystical thought. Things are not always what they seem. Explore, ask questions... learn till you die.

Now however, thanks to great compilations like this, as well as reflecting - and mourning - the loss of “Spock”, “ Bones”, and “Scotty” I have come full circle and appreciate what Gene created, and what the cast portrayed, more then ever. I would rank it the of greatest show of all time. The more I watch all of the clips and compilations, the better it gets........and for all the fun we make of William Shatner’s acting....he, and they, were truly superb.

      It's not the words, but the meanings and intents behind those words that matter.

He ALWAYS put his ship first along with his crew, which he was broken hearted if anyone of his crew was hurt, injured or died, this includes the joke about some people saying this about the red shirts, and finally his command as well as his career.

      I do not agree with the implication of that statement. The implication being that we should not fear words. When in fact the words people think of and choose to say represents the ideas they believe in and the ideas they desire to see implemented in the real world. Words are a primary method of sharing ideas to others and spreading them across vast populations. When the implementation of ideas becomes mutually exclusive, words are the first weapons used to fight this war of ideas. Words can be used to indoctrinate the young and induce emotional fervor. Political violence always starts with this war of ideas, then of culture, and then for the power to implement them respectively. Only when everyone is politically aligned could it be considered that we should not fear words. (A world where every human is politically aligned is either fantasy or dystopia.)
      Read 1984 to get a glimpse of the power of words and why it is perfectly justified to fear them.

      It’s a grower. Like most things it helped people to ‘grow up with the show’ as it found its sea legs. It really matured after season 2. All the actors had really ‘found’ their characters and it flowed wonderfully from seasons 3-6ish. Bit of a downturn in season 7, but saved it with an absolute banger of a Finale.

    "must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
    And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
    And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
    And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
    I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
    Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
    And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
    And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
    I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
    To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
    And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
    And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over."
