What a funny ass episode. In a good way though. An excellent mix of comedy and action. The away team (including Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scotty) contract a disease that begins to age you 30 years for every day. Soon they are all elderly. They are constantly complaining, aching and are acting codgerly (however you spell that). The acting is pretty spot on and Kirk is fat with a big bald spot, it's just all pretty funny.

I noticed that Scotty has been used very heavily in season two. This is good because I like the character. Typically he takes command of the ship when Kirk and Spock are away, and honestly he's a really good Captain. The only mention of him being a Captain doesn't come until one of the TNG movies I think, by this time he's an old man ... and looks EXACTLY like Mr. Belvadere.

Before half of these guys died, they should've refilmed this episode with footage of the actors as real old guys. That would've been cool.
That would be awesome. Shatner has basically looked the same since the first movie.
You're cracking me up today. He did look like Mr. Belvedere when he got old.
I always wondered why the ship's engineer would be the default commander when Spock and Kirk were off-ship. I mean, you never saw Geordi sitting in the captain's chair. But Scotty is awesome, so I guess it doesn't matter.
