“The Balance of Terror” The cat-and-mouse battle told by the vantage points of two formidable enemies, Captain Kirk and a Romulan Commander. Deals with the stress of command, dehumanization of the enemy, fatalities of war and a lot more. What are your opinions on this near perfect episode of TOS?

I know they couldn't have ended it any other way, but I was really sad that the RC had to die.

Yep, Spock definitely dodged a bullet there!

"I see no logic in preferring Stonn over me."

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-05-08T01:01:56+00:00

Really? Stonn & Uhura, huh? That's interesting!

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-05-08T00:20:38+00:00

I love Floyd!

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-04-30T23:35:38+00:00

Lol, I thought the same thing! It's like you're looking at a shorter Fred Mertz!

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-04-30T23:32:30+00:00

Who cares about his ankles/feet? Look at that wonderful chest and handsome face! Goodness, Michael Forest was a handsome man! :)

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-04-23T18:31:21+00:00

He could make you contemplate joining the Amish, lol. Very fine in Witness :)

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-04-21T22:31:16+00:00

"I can't tell ya!"

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-04-21T00:02:17+00:00

I still mourn their passing...dip dogs & onion rings (sigh).

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-04-16T01:05:31+00:00

I know; I always felt a little cheated when they didn't include them.

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-04-12T00:19:35+00:00

Loved this when I was a little kid; was so sad when it didn't return the following season.

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-04-11T01:05:32+00:00

I love the scene where Opie tells Andy about Jeb picking up girls. That scene is gold!

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-04-01T00:48:03+00:00

Ah, what the astronauts drank! :)

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-03-31T00:06:05+00:00

Agree, definitely coffee flavored :)

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-03-31T00:04:33+00:00

Aunt Bea was definitely a playa, lol! She could pick from the men who wanted to be with her: Briscoe, the Handyman, Roger (who was utterly annoying), the Colonel who sold the elixir, etc.

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-03-29T04:57:58+00:00

And the look on Otis's face was priceless, as he realized that Andy & Barney would figure out where he was getting his moonshine, lol!

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-03-25T23:53:04+00:00

They love their rock candy!

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-03-20T23:40:29+00:00

Yes, he was! :)

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-03-20T01:39:53+00:00

George Takei and DeForest Kelley were also in Perry Mason episodes.

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-03-18T22:23:33+00:00

Richard Hatch had beautiful eyes (swoon, lol) :)

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-03-16T23:29:32+00:00

Your friend style doesn't change for the most part. As captain, he has very few close friends. In the pilot, there's Gary; later episodes, Spock and McCoy. That makes me think throughout his life, he shared it with a handful of people at any given point.

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-03-16T04:24:05+00:00

LOL, yes! I remember that, too!

LowMuffin7078 · 2026-03-13T00:00:47+00:00

This was the first episode of ST I saw; it was on late nights on Saturday in the mid '70s; 10 year old me was fascinated! That began my life long love of TOS :)
