Before starting this week's post, I need to acknowledge the loss of Adam West.
(later edit, I really talked about him in the rewatching of the show here)
He will be missed.
I am extremely happy that, after a down turn, he was able to experience the love of his fans and receive accolades for bringing joy to so many childhoods. The Batman role may have defined his career, but he also defined Batman.
It may have been in a silly setting, but he was the first actor to bring the supremely confident, always insanely prepared, and totally focused on doing what's right aspect of Batman to the screen. And they've all lasted until this day.
Other actors who played the Caped Crusader may have been in more financially successful or critically acclaimed outings, but I doubt any of them will have a Bat-Signal lit in tribute to them, as Los Angeles is doing tonight at 9PM Pacific Standard time.
Rest In Peace, old Chum.
I'm thankful you recorded your lines already, and we'll all get one last ride in the Batmobile with you in the sequel to Return of the Caped Crusaders to take on William Shatner's Two Face.
Speaking of Mr Shatner- time to get back to today's post.
On Chapel and Spock’s
pre credit soup interactions:
“What's up with her?
What is up with him?
That is out of
character.”
On the new opening
credits:
“Bones is there, YAY!”
On Sulu already knowing
what happened with the soup.
“That’s kind of strange.
Word travels fast on the Enterprise.”
On the regular navigator’s
first appearance:
“Chekov! YAY!
Oh Lord, look at that
hair.”
On Spock’s quarters:
“There’s his lute, it
looks like a hippie room.”
Later on the Vulcan
ritual area:
“They have hippie
curtains here too.”
On Spock’s confidential
explanation to Kirk:
“Right, confidential. I
am going to tell McCoy, duh.”
On Chapel going to Spock
again:
“Didn’t he just throw
soup at her?”
On the first Vulcan
salute:
“I thought they were
going to high five.”
On T’pring:
“She wears less makeup
then Spock.”
On Stonn:
“That guy!?!?!”
On Spock’s speech to
Stonn:
*Wild applause*
On Spock’s thrilled
“Jim” moment:
*Falls over laughing*
On T’pau smoothing
everything over with Starfleet and the Federation:
“Whoah! She rocks!”
On the bridge crew being
assembled:
“Weird, I got used to
Chekov not being there
On Apollo’s decorating
sense:
“Naked statues…they must
be in ancient times.”
On Apollo talking about hardships
on planet Earth years ago:
“Yeah, life sucked back
then.”
On Kirk informing the
god, “We’re capable of a little wrath ourselves:”
“YEAH!”
On Apollo saying none of
your toys will function:
“What about the
marshmallow maker?”
On the new pop up
scanner on Sulu’s helm panel:
“Whoah! That’s awesome.”
On using the astrogator
to plot a course:
“Can’t they use a
calculator instead of a cardboard circle and piece of paper?”
On Apollo explaining why
he stayed by himself:
“Because I’m a lonely
psycho.”
On Apollo talking about
gods taking mortals to love:
*cough*ZEUS*cough*
On them finding out he
generates the power with an extra organ in his body:
“He’s an eel?
Wait, where would an
extra organ go, there’s no room.”
On Apollo suggesting
they kill a deer for him:
“Wait, what? There’s no deer on this planet?”
On Kirk telling Lt.
Palamas the only thing that’s truly hers is humanity:
“And all your stuff, but
we’ll let that slide.”
On the big final storm:
“Um, his dress is
falling off.
And why does she have
weird pieces of yarn on her head?”
On Kirks’ second attempt
to avoid the pre credits attack:
“He said evasive maneuvers
the first time and it didn’t do anything.”
On Nomad travelling at Warp
Fifteen:
*sits bolt upright*
“Jesus!”
On realizing she heard
Uhura say something for the millionth time:
“What are hailing
frequencies, anyway?”
On Nomad repeating “Non sequitur
facts uncoordinated” and “insufficient response:”
“God you’re annoying.”
On Nomad’s appearance:
“He looks like a
screwdriver.”
On Nomad’s noisily
extending his probe antennae right behind the unresponsive guard:
“Uh oh not good. How
does he not hear that?”
On Scotty getting
blasted:
“Poor Scotty that's two
episodes in a row…
Dead. What?!
I mean, I know he's not
dead he's fine, but what?”
On Nomad asking Kirk if
the creator wants him to repair the unit (Scotty):
“Yes! Yes the creator
does!”
On Spock's statement, “That
unit is a woman,” about Uhura:
*suggestively*“Mmmmm
hmmmmmmmm!”
On Spock’s being stuck
in the mind meld:
“Whoah, that's not good.”
On Nomad zapping the red
shirts:
“Where did he put them?”
Me- “It’s not Charlie,
they’re vaporized.”
“Screwdriver's got anger
issues.”
On Nomad’s explosion:
“That was kinda
cool. A little underwhelming but cool.”
On Kirk’s “my son, the doctor,”
moment:
“Ok then…that was
interesting.”
