Can we keep some Scalosian water on board to fight battles and make repairs?

Did I miss something or can they not go into an accelerated state and come back to normal time with no repercussions?

I'm sure there are other crazy plot holes, but this one always bothered me. This stuff is super useful. Lets use it once then never again?

What other things do they find that is useful and can be used with no downside, but you never hear about it again?

Remember, one guy scratched himself and wound up dying quickly of old age or something like that

That Scalosian chick would be worth a little death

Agreed. I like the way that outfit is made on that one side.

The censors didn't want to keep the scene where Kirk sits on the bed and puts his boots on (implying he and the chick had sex) but since it was necessary to the plot they let it stay in

Kirk had lots of sex though. Funny that they would object to that.

Kirks secret mission was to spread humanity’s “seed” throughout the galaxy. Star Fleet was playing the long game.

Poor ensign Janet Rand or whatever got the boot so Kirk could spread his seed.

Thats right, thank you! I forgot about that. It did have at least some potential downfall.

Ok, how come they didnt bring some Hortas to other mining planets? I love them pizza looking No Kill I things.

This isn't THAT far removed from the time when Ricky and Lucy had separate beds because having just one bed would imply they were having sexy. Just 9 years from the end of I Love Lucy to the beginning of Star Trek.

Wow. If I read books, I would definitely read that. Pretty sweet. The universal translator must have gotten some work done.

Star Trek was also produced by Desilu. Ol' Lucy was really pushing the sexual revolution.

Desilu produced Star Trek. Lucy took an interest in the show. LINK

I know TNG and DS9 get pretty Me-So-Horny at times, but it surprising how much the pushed it in the 1960's. The boots and fixing up her hair are pretty on the nose.

But like man said, it was the navy in space, and Kirk or Riker would take any ol' port in a storm.
