Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the first appearance of a Holodeck - called a Recreation Deck - in the "Star Trek" universe. Some consider this as the prototype of the Holodeck used in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), and Star Trek: Voyager (1995). None of the feature films with the Star Trek (1966) TV cast used the recreation deck again. Gene Roddenberry had intended to introduce a Holodeck-type room in the third season of Star Trek (1966), but budget constraints prohibited it.
- GoofsKirk orders a heading of 902 Mark 6. All headings must be between 1 and 360/000. They mark the points of the compass which has 360 degrees with 360 headed to the galactic center. The "mark" covers the "vertical" plane of the galaxy.
- Quotes
Capt. Kirk: Okay, this whole thing has gone far enough!
Arex: Sir?
Capt. Kirk: I've just picked up my clean uniforms from the service chute, and when I put this one on, I discovered this!
[turns around revealing the words "KIRK IS A JERK" on the back of his uniform; the main computer laughs]
Capt. Kirk: When you all finish laughing, I'd appreciate an explanation.
Mr. Spock: Captain, I never laugh.

Featured review
kid's stuff.
As I always point out, the animation for this show is pure crap. Low cell counts (with jerky, robotic movements) and ugly drawings are the norm for this series--and this one is unfortunately no exception. Even by 70s TV cartoons, this one is butt ugly.
The show begins with Romulans attacking Enterprise. The Captain takes the ship through an energy field to avoid them and in the process the computer aboard the ship is affected--becoming goofy and with a bad sense of humor. Dribble glasses, pies in the face graffiti on the Captain's uniform and other simple-minded pranks start occurring and everyone aboard laughs like crazy. Mostly, however, it looks like stuff most children watching the show would have laughed at instead of adults. Well, they eventually discover that the computer is behind all this.
This episode is clearly one that kids would love--because they would have thought the computer's jokes were funny. As for older audiences (and it's amazing that adults really embraced this show), it's harder going due to its silliness--which grates on you after a while. My verdict is an 8 for kids and a 5 for adults.
By the way, it is interesting that this show debuts the holodeck-- something I incorrectly assumed was created on "Star Trek: The Next Generation".
