kirk/spock moment in "mudd's women," 1x04

[cimorene]

the dialogue isn't important here but i've included it because (a) i love the technobabble and (b) if you've seen the ep it may be of interest.



SPOCK: the entire ship's power is feeding through ONE lithium crystal.

KIRK: well, switch to bypass circuits.




SCOTTY: we burned them all out when we superheated, captain. that jackass, walsh, not only wrecked his own vessel, but in saving his skin--




KIRK: if it makes you feel any better, engineer, that's one jackass we're going to see skinned.

i was a next gen devotee when i was, oh, eight through thirteen or so. well, it lasted longer than that, i guess. anyway, they weren't rerunning TOS back then. the sci fi network only started about... eight years ago with that. dad used to talk to me about the original one, i saw clips at cons, caught an episode or two on tv, and made fun of him, too (those rocks are styrofoam! they're just spray-painted! etc). generational thing! and besides the [lack of] sfx, it's so *different* from tng. i still love tng, but i love tos more. it suits my personality or something.
