Star Trek TOS: Episode 62 - DAY OF THE DOVE



Excellent episode. Finally the Klingons are starting to look like those brutes that we all love. Except for the female, she just looks like a white lady in racist black face … which I find arousing. Commander Kang is awesome and is a classic Star Trek character.

There is this weird energy cloud that gets off on causing violence. The thing forces the Klingons and the humans to fight, hand to hand with swords. In reality the Enterprise crew would be slaughtered because the Klingons actually train in this kind of combat … I doubt they are sword fighting at Starfleet Academy. But, nobody dies. Kirk figures out what’s really going on and he convinces the female Klingon that the energy cloud is the cause. In the end the humans and Klingon’s band together to laugh at the energy cloud until it leaves the ship.

What would probably happen is that the entire command crew would get killed, and only the redshirts would survive.
