Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesMichael Forest reprises his role as Apollo from Who Mourns for Adonais? (1967) . Although the story takes place only a few years after the first encounter with Apollo, almost fifty years has passed in reality - the age difference is explained by having Apollo's life energy being drained by the The Realm.
- GaffesWhen Apollo is first taken into sick bay he has a full head of grey curly hair, (wig), later when Kirk goes to see him in sick bay he is missing the wig and is almost bald, this remains the case for several scenes, later when Spock calls Kirk to the recreation room Apollo has a full head of grey hair again, (wig is back ). :o)

Captain James T. Kirk: I guess Scotty was right.
Mr. Spock: How so?
Captain James T. Kirk: You were here, Spock. You saw what just happened.
Mr. Spock: Yes sir. While Apollo clearly had influence over those in the recreation room, I do not believe he intended to behave as he did.
Captain James T. Kirk: So you think he can't control it. He's been this divine parasite for so long that he just can't help himself. Is that it?
Mr. Spock: It has been my experience that humans if not most beings are unable to change their behaviors that are deeply embedded by choice. It is often forced by tragedy or outside intervention.
Captain James T. Kirk: Well, Apollo's therapy will not be at the expense of the Enterprise's crew. I can promise you that. Apparently you can't teach an old god new tricks.
But you want to know the full truth and not just the sugar coated version, so here is the rest:
I felt the story needed more energy and whilst it attempted to reproduce the moral tales of the 60s the lesson came across as superficial (I rolled my eyes at the end). You could also detect the absence of consulting scientists in the vetting of the script. There's some action outside the space ship that seems to have no bearing on the story. It was not tied in well, or at all actually, and just seemed to be an excuse to use the special effects.
The actors should be admired stepping into such big shoes. In some cases it didn't really work. The voices are what I noticed most. The original Spock spoke an octave lower than his modern day surrogate. There was also an obvious age difference in Kirk and McCoy which was hard to ignore.
If this was an original Star Trek episode it would have been a weaker one. Currently on Youtube about 3% of voters are giving it the thumbs down which is quite high I think for such a noble effort and it reflects the small but significant misjudgments and deficiencies which permeate the episode. I am sure these niggles will be ironed out in future as the team becomes more experienced and more free to experiment with new ideas and do it their own way. The first ever episode of Star Trek was equally awkward and look where that led :)
