Lenore (Kodos' daughter), the slave from "Of Bread and Circuses", and Deela here. Most of his other romantic entanglements (except Spock) have been calculated honey pots. Even sleeping with Deela was him manipulating him to get out of her trap. He doesn't often sleep with women just to have a sexual conquest. I mean, he married Miramanee.<br /><br />But I love, love, love The Curse of Lethal Death. I love how they made a fart joke into a set of logic that makes the whole story stick together with a logic a lot of Doctor Who episodes would be jealous of.VanVeldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441999455333315750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35276667.post-52625627167597474402016-05-27T22:19:28.781-05:002016-05-27T22:19:28.781-05:00Shit happens, it's cool.
Good discussion of ...Shit happens, it's cool. <br /><br />Good discussion of the femme fatale, power dynamics, and layers of subterfuge. I hope that kind of spy-vs-spy thing pops up again in DS9; I honestly can't remember if it does or not. <br /><br />You say the original script included a cure for the Scalosians? I wonder if switching to casual genocide was just one of those things that happens, or if it was a deliberate indictment of the Scalosians' methods. <br /><br />Kirk's reputation for womanizing is undeserved? Zap Brannigan, surprisingly true to life!<br /><br />PS: Derek's "I countered your ambush because I expected it" spy-vs-spy remark, of course, reminds me of Rowan Atkinson's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do-wDPoC6GM" rel="nofollow">The Curse of Lethal Death</a>.SkilTaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15496366094516039415noreply@blogger.com
