Missed the first 3 and was correct for the last 7.

9/10. Pretty good episode. I thought it was funny when the Dohlman said, "Get that Troyiun pig outta here."
Elaan really did need a good spanking ! Too bad they didn't let the Captain go through with it.
10/10 648/680
Excellent.
One of the sound files I had on a Mac+ way back when. If you speeded it up a bit it sounded like a different kind of mind. Used it for when Mac was saying nope, can't do that.

9/10. At least I got the quotation right this time.

Or the right time on Friday Night. Hope this one you're making it 🙂.
I will do my best.
Here is what I have to tell me I have mail from a site or MeTV. It is all connected to Yahoo Mail. Then it sends me a buzz and message on PC on the bottom right corner. It is sort of like a text on Cell. Bing! Oh there's the AWOL KJ chiming in 🙄. At least you were not sick or come up missing like AWL.
I'll have to set more than one alarm I guess. I was just dead to the world. 🤤
9/10
France Nuyen - "I am Chinese. I am a stone. I go where I am kicked."
Existentialist Nuyen and her husband Robert Culp were both extremely intelligent.
Culp said the psycho/sexual multi-dimensional cosmic mental chess game they played
with each other both exhilarated and exhausted him and he had to leave her before
she destroyed him. I wonder if The Dohlman wasn't more than a little bit based on
Nuyen. But to be fair, that was Culp's version.

Culp and Nuyen were scheduled to be co-hosts on the second episode of "Turn-On", George Schlatter's follow-up to Laugh-in. Sadly, the series was canceled halfway through its first episode (hosted by Tim Conway).
Was "Turn-On" such a train wreck or was there another reason it was axed?
Poor Tim Conway, he must hold the record for series that never made it.

Complaints that it was offensive, some from viewers, some from the brass at various stations. As I understand it, the single half hour was allowed to run to the end in some cities but pulled at the station break in others (I suppose they put on cartoons or something to fill the rest of the slot).
I've been trying to find a viewable copy for years to check it out for myself, but the closest I've come is that there's supposed to be a copy in the Museum of Broadcasting in DC that you can watch on the premises; nobody can get an evaluation copy for off-site research. What interests me is that it includes a comedian named Robert Staats that I associate with a fast-talking pitchman like the ones who used to sell gizmos before Ron Popiel took the trade to TV commercials.

I take it this must be an infamous disaster in TV history,
especially as George Schlatter was behind it after riding high with Laugh-in.
If MeTV would only do a story on this it would be a big step into a more serious recounting of
TV history for them, instead of dwelling on Marsha Brady.
For instance, contrast what so offended some to today's mores and standards.
You yourself sound like a serious student of broadcasting, thanks for sharing the above.

9/10. An okay episode. Guest star France Nuyen co-starred with William Shatner in the 50s on Broadway in The World of Suzie Wong which ran for 508 performances. They acted out a scene on The Ed Sullivan Show which is on Youtube. France would again act with Bill on an episode of Kung Fu, as well as in the TV-movie The Horror at 37,000 Feet. France co-starred with Jeff Hunter in the film Dimension 5.
During filming of this episode, Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated. This was devastating news for many, especially France, as she and her then-husband Robert Culp were huge supporters of RFK.
France would later return to school to obtain a degree and become a Certified Psychologist with a master's degree in Clinical Psychology.
A scene with Mr. Spock playing his Vulcan harp in the ship's arboretum was filmed but edited out.
When James Doohan guest starred as his Scotty character on Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Relics," he refers to this episode.
One of the few episodes in the Star Trek franchise that was both written & directed by the same person, in this case, John Meredyth Lucas.
The title for this episode is a play on the words Helen of Troy.
Ambassador Petri is played by the terrific actor Jay Robinson. His performance in the 1953 film The Robe, and its 1954 sequel Demetrious and the Gladiators as the insane Roman Emperor Caligula is electric.

I remember watching "Swamp Thing" for the first time on "USA Up All Night."
Wow, I'm surprised I didn't recognize her, thanks for the heads up.
The last thing I saw her in was The Drew Carey Show, as Oswald's mom.

Both films by her then-husband John Carpenter (IIRC).
Then you didn't see Ms. Barbeau's (ahem) "unexpurgated" appearance.
9/10 I missed #2. I guessed the saboteur's name right, though.
7/10 tears of joy...eh maybe not.
