Clint Howard was a cute little kid back then.
10 out of 10 on 4 quizzes so far.
But I'm neither a doctor nor a "Moon Shuttle Conductor".
Although it seems that at one-point McCoy was a "Brick Layer".
But that's only for Hortas!

10/10. One of the series best episodes.

6/10
Balok wouldn't want me on his ship with that score. He'd just laugh that mocking laugh at me.

I remember when there was some debate over who played Balok, and it was rumored that the guy who played Chaka on the original Land of the Lost played him.

Clint Howard is just too bizarre. As a kid especially.

He was hilarious in 'Rock & Roll High School'. 😆

10/10. Is it just me or does the Tranya look a lot like Tang?

10/10. One of the best Trek episodes. I loved the ominous, threatening voice of Ted Cassidy as the crew gets ready to meet their maker.

10/10. "Fascinating"
Captain Balok is Opie Taylor's little real life brother, Clint Howard played little Leon on "The Andy Griffith Show"

10/10 Not counting the two pilots, this episode was the first one filmed for the series, though "The Man Trap" was the first one to debut on the network.

In Marc Cushman's book about Star Trek first volume, he writes that that the Tranya was really Pink Grapefruit juice and Clint Howard hated Grapefruit juice. Poor kid!

So, apparently, he did NOT relish it as much as he said.

I know, I know a thousand questions but first the Tranya.

And then we'll listen to some country music by Tranya Trucker.
