Star Trek TAS EPISODES 17-19

Ep. 17 The Pirates of Orion

Spock is dying from a disease and the freighter carrying his medicine has been hijacked by Orion pirates. The Enterprise overtakes the Orion ship, but rather than lose they would rather destroy themselves and the Enterprise. Not that bad of an episode, but didn't Spock already almost die from a disease? Anyway. This is the first appearance of an Orion male and boy they look dumb.

Ep. 18 Bem

All in all, not bad. Bem is an annoying diplomat that has been on the Enterprise as an observer. He sounds like Yoda and has the weirs ability to remove his body parts .... sort of. They beam on down to a planet full of "aborigines" (Kirk's words not mine). Ben gets a little crazy and everyone ends up captured. Interesting side note: This episode is actually the first mention of Kirk's middle name Tiberius.

Ep. 19 The Practical Joker

What happens when the Romulans attack the Enterprise and the ship computer suddenly turns into a practical joker. This episode. This incredibly irritating episode. Although, some of the ships jokes are pretty classic. Putting "Kirk is a Jerk" on the back of his coat and the ever popular blackend eye circles from using binoculars. The computer eventually tricks the Romulan's by making a giant balloon Enterprise. Sound completely stupid ... well it is.

I sent u the Kirk is a Jerk pic!!! Jeez whatever

Also this is the first appearance of the ever annoying holodeck (or so I've read...never actually watched this episode)

What's the point of the holodeck unless it's to fuck famous space celebrity holograms?

This sounds like an episode of Super Friends that accidentally got made into an episode of Star Trek.
