I have an James Doohan autographed Star Trek technical manual. Pretty cool.

I think he also went on record saying one of his least favorite episodes of "Star Trek" was "The Way to Eden" (space hippies take over the ship). I was not a bit surprised. (and I tend to agree with his assessment....)

I always thought of Doohan and Nimoy as my favorite actors in the series. Decent men with a good grasp of the profession.

"The Way to Eden" was one of my favorite episodes.  It's chock full of awesome quotes some of which I use even today.   O0

"There's a horror movie called Alien? That's really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you!"
-The Doctor

"Before Man goes to the stars he should learn how to live on Earth."

I always thought they were after a frozen dessert. "Sherbert, Sherbert, Sherbert."

That ship sure seemed to get taken-over quite a lot. How many times in 2 seasons? Eight, ten, twelve? Space Hippies, drunk crew members, Spock, the god Apollo, the computer system once, bunch of alien super races-- remember the living Lava Guy who put Lincoln on board? Did I leave anyone out? Must be a couple I forgot about.  :P

Charlie X. I have a real love/hate relationship with that episode. It has some great scenes of Yeoman Rand in a nightie but the scene where Charlie removes the crews' faces creeps me out to this day.

I forgot about the ghost of Jack the Ripper episode.

There are actually a few episodes from TOS that are fun to watch around Halloween.

Like the very first episode I ever watched, ever. "The Man Trap"

One of the first I saw as well. I was too young to know that main characters wouldn't die and just knew that thing was going to kill Kirk.

I've dated a few chicks that would make the green space hag seem like a good option.

There's a joke in there about mirth, the hag from Star Trek, elections, and Ross Perot's quote about a giant sucking sound, but I'm too lazy to look for/create a meme about it.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Wasn't there an indie Trek film that revisits Charlie X? IIRC, it had some actors from some of the various Trek tv show incarnations in it.
