An episode so...
um...
special, that it fills a whole post.
On Janice Lester’s first
appearance and line:
Doctor McCoy- “Perhaps
your presence will quiet her.”
Rosa- “He's her friend.”
Janice- “I hoped I
wouldn’t see you again.”
Rosa- “Oh, an ex. What are the odds?”
On one of the most
infamous lines in the series:
Janice- “Your world of starship
captains doesn't admit women. It isn't fair.”
Anabelle- “What? I
thought everything was equal.
Why torture him because
the Federation doesn't allow women?”
On the body swap:
Anabelle “Well, great.”
Rosa- “Ohhh, so she can
be in…”
Anabelle- “Yup.”
On Shatner’s performance
change once he is Janice Lester:
“Bwa ha ha!”
On Lester telling Kirk,
“Now you know the indignity of being a woman. For you this agony will soon
pass, as it has for me. Quiet. Quiet! Believe me, it's better to be dead than
to live alone in the body of a woman. It's better to be dead:”
Anabelle- “Holy crap! Who wrote
this one?
This is mixed up.”
On Lester’s habit of
referring to himself in the third person:
“Why does he say Captain
Kirk every time? That's a giveaway.
‘And I…CAPTAIN KIRK…will
go to my quarters now.’”
ON Shatner’s handling of
the hair brush:
“Bwa ha ha!”
On Coleman revealing
Janice killed every one of her staff:
“What.”
On Nurse Chapel’s
appearance change:
“Whoah! Hair!”
On Kirk continuing to
log strapped in a bed and sedated:
*facepalm* “No…just no.”
On Janice going about
day to day business in Kirk’s body:
“How does she know
everyone's name?”
On Janice’s pronunciations:
“The Captain says ‘two’ differently
now, everyone should suspect.”
On Shatner’s over-exuberant
way of sitting in his chair:
Rosa- *uncontrolled
giggling*
On Janice’s attempts to
command the ship:
“She's not a very good
starship captain.”
*Spock corrects her
repeatedly*
“Oh snap.”
On Shatner filing his
nails:
Rosa *laughter*
Anabelle- “Not gonna say
anything.”
On McCoy wondering if he
can report the captain for instability:
“He’s extremely not
stable. McCoy, get a dictionary and look up instability.”
On Shatner’s physical
changes:
“He shakes his butt a
lot more in this episode.”
On Janice logging in
Kirk’s body about her evil plan, on the bridge:
“So…everyone just heard
that, right?”
On McCoy questioning
Kirk’s mental attitudes:
“It’s not his mental
ness.”
On Janice punching out
Kirk (in her body):
“What the heck, dude?
I believe Spock
understands, ‘Oh brother he's possessed again.’
Because it happens…a
lot.”
On the feet pushing
shoebox thing in sickbay:
“How come that's all
they do for physicals in the future? What do they even get from that?”
On the obvious solution:
“Is nobody going to ask a
question only Kirk would know?”
On Spock saying many of
those only "Kirk would know things" events have been recorded:
“In endless captain’s
logs.”
On Kirk asking Spock,
“What does your telepathic mind tell you?”
Anabelle- “Thank you! Finally
someone brought it up!”
On Spock referencing the
last time Janice decked Kirk:
Mr. Spock- “A repetition
of your physical violence is not called for, sir.”
Anabelle- “Oh snap. He
just dropped the ‘sir.’”
On the set up for the Court
Martial:
“Excuse me. This exact thing happened before.”
On Shatner getting more
into his role:
“Wow. OK. The butt
shaking is out of control.”
On Janice stating only Starfleet
Command can take her authority away:
“No. Did you forget the
conversation in that other scene?”
On the outfit Kirk is
given for the trial:
“Nice dress. Just
kidding, it’s kinda scary.”
On Janice tutting and
shaking his finger at Kirk:
“Yeah that's not him.
You all should know this by now.”
On Spock reminding
everyone the crew has been witness to strange events:
“Sulu’s like ‘tru dat’,
but Chekov is so frikkin’ confused.”
On the summation:
Mr. Spock- “No, sir. I
shall not withdraw a single charge that I have made. You are not Captain Kirk.
You have ruthlessly appropriated his body, but the life entity within you is
not that of Captain Kirk. You do not belong in charge of the Enterprise and I
shall do everything in my power against you.”
Anabelle- “You just got Spocked,
yo!”
*Janice’s hysterical tirade*
Rosa- “Yeah…that’s
pretty clear.”
Anabelle- “If Uhura were
here this would have gone so much faster.”
On the rest of the
command crew coming to Spock’s view:
McCoy- “I've been
through this with Spock. He's not being scientific and neither are you.”
Mr. Scott- “It may not
be scientific, but if Mister Spock thinks it happened, then it must be
logical.”
Anabelle- “He's great.”
…
Doctor McCoy- “We're
talking about mutiny, Scotty.”
Anabelle- “Not mutiny if
it's not the captain.”
…
Janice- “Play the tapes
of the conversation in the corridor.”
Anabelle- “Excuse me, you’re
not allowed to do that.”
…
Janice- “Enough to
convict you of conspiracy with mutineers. And you're so charged. The sentence,
death. Mister Lemli.”
Anabelle- “Mutiny time!
Get the sword, Sulu!”
On Sulu and Chekov
ignoring Janice’s orders:
Rosa- “Nobody's doing nothing
for you.”
Anabelle- “Aw yeah, Sulu!”
Janice- “You have
received your orders! You will obey my orders. You’ll be charged with mutiny! You will obey my orders or,
or,”
Rosa- *High squeaky
voice* “You will obey, you’ll be charged, waaaah waaaah waah.”
Anabelle- “They’re all
so freaked out. This is the best episode.”
On Janice telling
Coleman to kill Kirk, “for yourself:”
Anabelle- “That’s worse
isn’t it?”
Rosa- “I know you love
me. We’re meant to be together, smoochie smoochie*
Me- *Falls off couch
picturing Shatner playing that scene*
On the contents of the
medical lab:
Me- “Why does McCoy keep
poop in a jar.”
Anabelle- “That’s a
tribble in the jar.”
Me- “Holy crap I never
noticed that!”
On the last flip between
bodies brought on by over emotion:
“What on earth is happening?”
On Kirk holding Janice
both back in their own bodies:
“Just drop her.”
On The final line of the
series:
Captain Kirk- “Her life
could have been as rich as any woman's…”
Anabelle- “Sexist much?”
Captain Kirk- “if only…if only.”
Anabelle- “That’s it?”Captain Kirk- “if only…if only.”
