I am 68. It's amazing to me that 68 is the same age as some old people. :) Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Every day is a gift. That's why it's called the present. Live long and prosper!
WOW I just read that line in a book yesterday that I"m currently reading, I LOVE THAT QUOTE! It read the past is a history the future is mystery but same exact thing! WOW! I'm only 48
The moment Kirk walks back onto the bridge fully recovered is such a cool moment... That sells how good Shatner was as the Captain. He utterly nailed the role. It's amazing in real life he's now 93 and even went into space last year. How cool was that...... Yep old age is a bitch but at 62 I'm resigned now to being an old fart....
Bak! 😩 I hated that part most of all! That is _not_ how radiation poisoning works! Once the body has suffered cell damage from radiation, the destroyed cells don't grow back just like they were before. And even if they do grow back, or could be induced to grow back with medication, the damage would not be undone _instantly!_ 🤨 Sure this is a science fiction show, and we have to let go of some problems for the sake of the story, but that is just going too far.
@@TheNoiseySpectator It doesn't actually say in the episode what caused the mutation or disease and to be fair how do we know hundreds of years from now cell regeneration or even genetic manipulation will be as common as muck. Also remember rats are resistant to radiation so maybe we learned a thing or two from them over the next two centuries...
@@TheNoiseySpectator If you are going to suspend disbelief about them being able to go faster than light speed, and also teleport people, then you might as well suspend disbelief when it comes to their medical abilities too.
Mind over matter. Keep your mind young! Stay away from people who are always talking about being old. The topics of you PSA count, the fiber in your food to be regular and your wife calling you "Poppa"-- run! Don't stay with the same hair cut and let it grow out a bit. Live like a Vulcan and you will live to be 250 and turn on some cartoons from Hanna-Barbara! Johnny Quest and the Herculoids live!
@@TheNoiseySpectator "but that is just going too far" I had exactly the same thought every time I watched this episode. The recovery happened way too quickly. They could have at least shown him with some grey hair left instead of being exactly how he looked before. Bones could have said something like, "It will take several treatments Jim, but you'll be back to your old self in no time." But overall it was just a minor annoyance for me. I enjoyed the episode in general, especially how Kirk dealt with the Romulans. There was a nice build-up to that throughout the episode.
For playing such a famously grumpy curmudgeon DeForest Kelly, Bones, was known as a sweetheart who wrote poetry for his friends and kept peace between the sometimes feuding Shatner and Nimoy.
I am an original viewer of Star Trek and watch your reactions because I can never see Star Trek for the first time again. It is just so much fun to watch you watching Star Trek for the first time. Star Trek was magic for a ten year old boy. Now the magic is watching you. There is also the magic of reading Shatner’s, Sulu’s and Adam Nimoy’s tweets and if I want, tweeting back and them and the hope they will actually read my tweet. Keep up the good work.
Ditto, I was 18 when the series started. I know every episode by heart. It's so enjoyable watching it with bunnytails, a new viewer with her own perspective. Thank you bunnytails for a fresh outlook.
That's the great thing about reaction videos. To connect to another sci-fi series, that's similar to why the Doctor travels with companions on Doctor Who: "I can't see it anymore. I look at a star and it’s just a big ball of burning gas and I know how it began and I know how it ends and I was probably there both times. After a while, everything is just stuff! That’s the problem. You make all of space and time your backyard and what do you have? A backyard. But you, you can see it. And when you see it, I see it."
William Shatner is not the same person as Captain Kirk. ☝ To think of a actor as being synonymous with one of his characters is demeaning to that actor. ☹ Besides, those are _Canadian, metric years._
@@TheNoiseySpectator Well, it was a casual observation. My meaning is he still has his mental faculties unlike in this episode where he was getting senile at a much earlier age. But, yeah, I seem to recall he is a different person from Captain Kirk. And I'm old enough to remember seeing the very first episode of the series back in Sept. 1966. Lol.
With just Shatner, Takei and Walter Koneig left like the show Chekov may be the last of the old crew and first of the new. RIP Lenord Nimoy, Anton, Jimmy, Deforest, Nichelle, Gene and MB Rodenberry plus Lucille Ball (The Producer) Just hope their vision survives better than Lucas's with Hollywierd and PedoDisney.
As someone that is in the upper end of your demographic, your outro was very interesting and thought provoking. Not many "reactors" take the time to really think about what they are watching. I'm glad you do.
i turned 63 last thursday. i remember being a kid thinking people in their 60s were old. now that i'm here i don't feel old,but i am aware i have far fewer years ahead of me than i have behind me. my goal now is to make the most of the time i have left,however long that may be. every day you wake up is a blessing.
When I was a teenager, I used to wish I lived only until 70. That seemed like an age where the mind and body started to fade. Yikes! Now I'm 60! 90 please!
@@robertfindley921Hmm. My father lived to almost 90,but his mind faded a great deal around 85/86. It wasn't Alzheimer's, but something related. Extreme old age isn't always such a great thing, and yeah, I do realize it's different for everyone. No cute remarks please.
You have a great vocabulary as a reactor and deep understanding of people. At 62 years of age, with almost 34 years as a truck driver, I sometimes rely on Aleve and 5 hour energy for my body. However, I have an interest in many hobbies and my Spiritual faith which helps keep me feeling young and hopeful for the future. Thank you for your excellent reactions.
I believe this was the first full episode I ever watched of Star Trek. I was around 10 or 11, and started watching it farily regularly. It was only after my family moved from Montreal to Halifax when I was 13 and I left all my friends behind that I absolutely fell in love with the show. Back in Montreal, it was on in re-runs in the weekday afternoons on one of the stations we got (I think it was the NBC station, but I'm not positive) when I first started watching. It was also on Saturdays around noon on CBC. Later, it was on an ABC station in the evenings. The cool thing about the ABC one is that, while most people in our neighbourhood had cable, and got their ABC station from Burlington, we had an aerial on the roof that picked up an ABC and a PBS station from Boston. Meaning, I was the only one who got Star Trek at 7:00 every weekday evenings. I had friends who would come over to watch it with me. Your reactions remind me of some of mine back then, although you obvioulsy have a much more mature perspective on life than I did in my early teens. Thanks for sharing these with us.
Thank you for your empathy towards your viewership : ) Everyone's timeline and path is different. My body stopped working normally at age 30. I often wish I could go back and feel normal again, or have had a normal life until much later. My grandparents were vibrant until their 90s. A friend died at age 35 of cancer. So if you are young and healthy, or just healthy, enjoy it, appreciate it. We don't know when our lives will diminish or stop. For now, I try to appreciate small blessings, and accept my lot without despair. In the meantime, it's nice to see a younger generation enjoying Star Trek, and hopefully the love we feel for it will live on, forever.
Well said. Perhaps I've simply not aged as well as many, but I do have my share of pains and health problems. Am old enough to recall TOS first-run, but really came to know it in the afternoon reruns in the '70s.
My mother passed away two weeks ago at the age of 93. My father had passed away six years ago at the age of 86. As their primary care giver I had a ringside seat to see how advanced age can affect people as they struggle to adapt to their physical and mental abilities growing ever more limited.
Phew! That was a close call. I checked my bookshelves to make sure no "well meaning" relative or friend didn't take my copy to send it to Bunny. Fortunately, my collection remains intact. Also, bravo to Bunny for appreciation of physical media.
@@bunnytailsREACTS 🙂 It is fun watching you enjoy the episodes, deduce things and know that if were watching together in the same room, I'd try to answer your questions in a non-spoiler way. However, because this is the Internet,...I will stick with post-episode, non-spoiler comments. None of us want to spoil your fun.
Having seen this the first time in the 70's, I can tell you this episode hits differently now. I'm 57 now and recently lost both parents. You are so sweet and appreciated.
It isn't a good Saturday without Bunny and Star Trek. A classic episode. Loved those Fotonovels as a teen in the '70's. I don't think I had the entire set but I had quite a few.
Loved this reaction!!! Thank you Bunny!!!! "Sweet child of innocence, living in the present tense. "Father time will take his toll... wrack your body and steal your soul.

You're such a sweetheart. We all really appreciate you and this journey you're taking us on. Every time I see a Star Trek reaction from you - pop up in my feed - I instantly smile. Bless you, Bunny.
if someone wasn't paying attention when hearing the title, they could think this is an episode where Spock's pointy ears go rogue! ps: one day, in the far distant future, a wise old Bunnytails will look back on this video reaction and chuckle at the apparent anxiety about aging. I think anxiety about aging comes from regrets.
The more I have rewatched TOS and the movies over the years the more I've come to appreciate just what a terrific actor DeForest Kelley (Bones) was. I just rewatched Star Trek 5 today and whatever one may think of that film there is a dramatic scene in it which DeForest absolutely slays.
The hearing was for dramatic effect. McCoy might understand the why, but his loyalty would probably refuse to relieve the Captain. It took Spock's logic to hold the hearing. It also created a rift between Spock and Kirk. Old age scares everyone. Thanks Bunny, hope for a long and happy life for you and the ones you love.
The only reason story-wise for the hearing was because Commodore Stocker ordered Spock to do it. The reason from another standpoint was to showcase their acting abilities. They all portrayed playing older quite believably. And the makeup department got to showcase their talents as well. A win-win for everyone, and a much better episode than I remembered.
Once again, we have an episode pitting the commodore vs. the captain and once again putting Spock in the middle. The only problem with the writing in this one (which was likely fudged for dramatic purposes) is that Commodore Stocker is not a line officer. According to Kirk he has never had a field command. In any "naval" service it is possible to have high ranking officers, even flag officers like Stocker, who are trained and guided into administrative roles, medicine, the chaplain's corps, Judge Advocate General's office etc. However, only a line officer can assume command of a vessel on duty, regardless of rank. There's a similar regulation in naval aviation. Both the captain and the XO (and of course, the commander air group) aboard a carrier must have flight service. Even a line officer of equivalent or higher rank cannot command a carrier if they don't have their wings. This is one among many reasons you never see McCoy in command. Despite the fact he is one of the highest ranking officers on the ship, his rank is the result of his position as a department chief and because he has an M.D. He likely has only rudimentary command training and he definitely isn't a line officer. Therefore he can never competently command the Enterprise. As afflicted as Kirk was in this episode he's exactly right. Sulu should have been given command. Granted, he's only a lieutenant, but he is qualified. Stocker isn't.
Having served in the US Navy as a sonar technician, you are absolutely correct. Indeed, an onboard dentist, or physician, or lawyer may enjoy the pay, perks, and privilege of his rank, but when it comes to ship functions beyond the scope of his specialization, he falls under the command of even the most junior "line officer". If I understood the hierarchy correctly, even the noncommissioned officers are above him. In other words, if the Enterprise were a Navy ship, Sulu, or someone like him, would have assumed command because ship command falls under the hierarchy of line officers. For example, on the Enterprise, Sulu would assume command over McCoy although Mcoy technically outranks him. Why then, do these specialist professionals even get the rank? Because military pay structure, as dictated by a Congressional act, defines any given military pay scale as relative to a specific rank. To be competitive with non-military interests and not suffer an inherent "brain drain" to the private sector, these professionals are given a pay scale consummate with their specialized education and the only Congressionally approved way to appropriately compensate them is to give them a rank associated with that given pay scale.
Grace Murray Hopper, the inventor of the COBOL programming language retired as a Navy Rear Admiral (replaced rank of Commodore) at age 79. At the time she was the oldest serving officer in the US Armed Forces (1986.) She was a programmer, and never commanded a ship.
I am 60, and although I have started to feel some aches and pains here and there, I do feel fortunate that for the most part I still have the agility and cognitive ability of someone much younger. I have been working out and eating mostly well since my twenties and it does make a big difference and I am always looking for ways to improve my diet and to stay in shape both mentally and physically. But yes, the years do fly by incredibly fast. When the topic arises, I always tell younger people to really enjoy and cherish the present time because one day you wake up and realize that decades have gone by "In the wink of an eye" to quote a Star Trek episode. You have already realized this at your young age so you're ahead of the curve. Live long and prosper !
I am 54 and the years are definitely catching up to me physically, my brain is currently functioning as normal but I watched my father who was an intelligent man lose his mental faculties 3months prior to his passing and it was the most heart wrenching part of his passing for me. The problem with growing older is not so much wanting to do those things to keep you healthy it's also the time we have to do them. I was told the last 3months of my fathers life he was going thru what is known as the sundown effect and it varies from person to person, in addition to memory problems and general awareness issues he became quite angry and unfortunately took that out on me verbally, but what could I do accept take it as best as could but it was difficult seeing him and being verbally abused during the final months of his life I tried not to take it personally understanding what was going on in his brain but it was the toughest emotional thing I had to endure nothing can prepare you for such a thing but like other things in life you do the best you can, my advice don't think about such things too much and enjoy the time you have with loved ones while you can
Excellent comments on your part, BT. I had medical power of attorney for my half-brother when got Alzheimer's. To watch someone deteriorate in that way is horrible. The worst was when he was still "there", but realized he was fading. He would say word-salad words, and know it wasn't what he wanted to say. He would get so frustrated. I turned 61 this week and my worst fear is not cancer anymore. It's dementia. I've told my wife and kids that if I ever get dementia, when it becomes painful for them to see me that way, to stop visiting me (assuming I'm in a community become at that point). I don't want them to watch and experience what I saw happen to my half-brother. As for getting older, it's actually not that bad. I've stopped worrying about the small stuff. I appreciate things more and stop to appreciate them now. I have decades old friendships that I cherish. To anyone under 40, please exercise and open a Roth retirement account NOW, if you haven't already. And stop worrying about things that will mean nothing a week from now! And for God's sake, see your doctor for a yearly checkup to catch any health problems before they become a big problem! As usual, BT, it's always a pleasure to experience Classiic Trek through fresh eyes. Thanks, again 😁😅
Terrific video, thanks. To answer one of your questions, Commodore Stockard couldn't afford to let a junior officer take command when he was right there with so much greater rank--it'd have been an admission that he believed he was incapable of field command, which would tend to disqualify him from further promotion. But yes, he should have anyway
One good thing about getting old is you’re not as resistant to eating your vegetables as you were as a kid 😊 Best advice about handling aging; don’t sweat it. It’s all just experience. Even the not so great stuff like arthritis and memory loss. You’re still young, enjoy it ❤.
I remember reading somewhere that there’s an idea or thought that we don’t like vegetables as a kid because our sense of taste hasn’t been broadened yet, and with ageing we are able to enjoy the variations in taste a lot more because our taste sense is more finely attuned. The one taste sense that younger people have that works well is for sweet things, however as we age further we begin to lose finer senses we developed and again the one that remains is sweet, so a lot of older people develop a rekindled love of sweets as in youth. It’s kind of a fun little loop.
This episode probably means more to me now certainly than when I was younger. I am 53 now and already have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Which my mom also had. And I am in allot of pain now pretty everyday from it. I certainly hope by the 23rd century that they will find a cure for that. So I appreciate your comments at the end of your video. But I am glad to say for now that I still have allot of mental clarity. So I am afraid I am not one of your fans who is happy and well. But I can say for sure I feel more happy and well bunnytails when I watch your videos! It's been a real delight to see your enjoying Star Trek TOS so much all these many months. As well as your other reviews. Star Trek TOS was a show that inspired millions of us when we were young and helped us dream of a better tomorrow! And yes I will keep eating my veggies and getting my vitamin D! Keep Trekking!
i cannot stress enough how much i enjoy your reactions. i'm 56, these shows were in re-runs when i was small and i watched them with my dad, and later by myself. you don't just watch them. you think about them, their relevance. how they may have been received then, what they mean now. and today you proved once again that you are an amazing and insightful person, with a warm heart - and a courageous willingness to share some deep and personal thoughts. you are doing amazing things here, keep it up!
As someone who falls into your majority demographic, I appreciate your empathy. Yes, my body used to be able to tolerate anything. Hot, cold, junk food diet, wounds etc. Now it recovers much slower, the processes are different and more sensitive and I require a lot more maintenance than I used to. I have a lot more doctors than ever before and the meds...argh! It is depressing at times, but I realize that everyone goes through it at some point. All you can do is the best you can; limit what you have to, but try to keep doing as much as you can. Thanks for caring. This is a good episode particularly for the heroic finale with Kirk swooping in and saving them all. Stocker was right to relieve him, but he was wrong to assume command himself. Vulcans live to about 200, I believe; if you can pick of the Star Trek Concordance somewhere by Bjo Trimble, it has TONS of Star Trek trivia and is a wealth of knowledge. Trimble and her hubby basically saved Star Trek from cancellation back in 1968. Thanks for another great reaction, and see you next week!
I like this episode, if for no other reason than to have some good fun with many of the ironies between the storytelling and real life. The cast aged far more gracefully than the episode depicts them, while Beverly Washburn (the ill-fated Lt. Galway) is eighty years young and has thus far outlived everyone but Shatner and Koenig. Even Felix Locher, who plays "29-year-old" Robert Johnson at the beginning of the episode, is the earliest-born "Star Trek" performer ever, being born in 1882!
I turn 65 in a couple of weeks. I watched a few episodes live, but was able to catch all the movies on the big screen opening night. My body and my mind are not what they once were. Two thoughts. "Reaching old age beats the alternative." And, as Mark Twain said, "Youth is a quality wasted on the young." So appreciate what you have, and cherish it.
As for ageing, the advice I was given on it was to remain child like, not childish, there's a stark difference. If you can hold on to being child like, seeing every new experience as something to relish or at least some new adventure, be they the challenges of ageing or experiencing new things, then old age will be better sailing, less a burden, don't lose the mystery of exploring new things as you age, getting stuck in your old tired habits, go out, explore, discover "strange new worlds."
In the 70s, as I grew up as a young Star Trek fan, you could only watch the episodes as your local station aired them, so the books were the only thing you had for on demand entertainment, such as the series written by James Blish, in which he would take the screenplay and write short story versions of them. Buy a suggestion from my mother, I started to cassette record the audio of all the episodes as they would play on TV so I could revisit them anytime. I would listen to them and let the scenes play out in my mind .The photo novels came out at a time when even though the VCR now existed, they were still simple and very expensive. I have a number of the photo novels from that time, but not the complete set. I would take these and read through them as I listen to my audio recordings and then I had the scenes right there in front of me. I have the photo novel of the first movie. At the time I had hoped they would produce a photo novel for every episode in this series, but that did not come to pass as VCR’s became more popular and less expensive. Thank you for sharing your purchase of the photo novels. It brings back great memories.
You point out an interesting issue about the competency hearing. The only thing I could come up with is the time constraints in telling the story. Trying to show how the aging process was affecting our heroes and pushing things to the limit. Especially with the Romulans attacking. Good point though. And thanks for your concern for your viewers! Very cool.😎
Hi Mrs. Bunnytail, my name is Billy, 56yo and I enjoy the way you combine innocence with intelligence and the way you see and put yourself emotionally inside the characters and story as it unfolds. Thank you for your natural insight and podcast.
Your ST:TOS reaction videos are the best I've seen. You truly enjoy these episodes for what they are, and your kind and sincere demeanor make these videos a pleasure to watch.
I'm only 52, but went a few rounds with cancer a few years ago. Aches and pains become a lot more normal, and grieving the loss of loved ones gets more common, but most of all aging just isn't as scary as it once was. The worst case scenarios are definitely horrible but the general fear of it all is just a lot less and I think that's the natural way of things. If we're lucky we live long enough, and well enough, to be ready when our time comes.
I think you are right, Sulu should have been in command. I know what you mean about health, my father has become more forgetful, often phones me a few times a day asking the same questions. i just have to show him compassion, patience and understanding.
Agreed! Sulu is next in Command and Uhura after him. The Commodore outranked them but had no experience. We’ve seen both Sulu and Uhura take command so we know they can do it. I think since the Commodore has no experience he ordered the hearing. McCoy didn’t want to relieve Kirk or he would’ve much sooner. The Commodore’s lack of experience nearly doomed the crew.
Make sure he stays off sugar and carbs as much as possible. especially candy and other sweets. It has been proven to hasten the problem. people with memory problems who cut out sweets and sugar have been shown to improve. Research it.
@@lechatel I am well aware, but unfortunately my husband (is that who we are talking about?) thinks I am a bit of a fanatic who “believes everything she hears from ‘random UA-camrs’” and doesn’t listen to me…
I had one of those books that I had my mom buy me from the Safeway supermarket. 1978 sounds about right as I was about eight years old. Mine was a copy of "Where No Man Has Gone Before". I remember the book coming apart at the binding into many sections. Bad glue job vs. an eight year old boy. If you already didn't know, there are tons of Star Trek the Original Series novels available on Amazon. They keep writing them so we can continue the voyages with our favorite Starship crew. I recently read one and really enjoyed it. The characters and voicing are really well done. Its the next best thing to watching the series or movies. Thanks for your hard work, love the show.
Hi Bunnytails, I am 63 and aim to keep watching your Star Trek reactions until I am 103. I enjoy your reactions immensely. And Star Trek has been around almost 60 years now, so I am confident it will be around for a full century.
I think this episode was written just to give the actors the opportunity to show their acting skills. Shatner, Nimoy, Kelly and Doohan had to be "OLD". The competency hearing did seem a bit out of place.......and who was commanding the bridge at the time?! 😲 Growing "old" can be great or it can be miserable. It's all about your attitude and your desire to enjoy life rather than just exist. If you choose the latter, time will fly by, and you wake up one day realizing that you missed it all. I let my past go too fast No time to pause If I could slow it all down Like some captain, whose ship runs aground I can wait until the tide comes around I'm not looking back But I want to look around me now See more of the people And the places that surround me now Time stand still -- Neil Peart ("Time Stand Still", 1987)
Anyone who can quote the great poet and world class drummer, Neil Peart, is #1 in my book. Time Stands Still still makes me tear up EVERY time I hear Geddy Lee sing those lyrics!
You said "where did the time go" - brought to my mind my favorite song by a long dead and never fully recognized Folk-Rock singer Sandy Denny's song "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" She was fab, even an old guy like me did not know of here until 20 yrs ago - she sang and died decades prior to 2000. And never assume you have years to live, one of my best friends died at 24 in 1989 because the coke machine at KU robbed him of the coke. He rocked the machine to get his coke and it fell on him and killed him 3 days later in the hospital. Lance was a good man, died far to young for no reason, he acted without wisdom and it costed him his life. His death was the first step for me in learning about Gratitude. Value each day you have, and never assume you will have many more in the future. 2-cents
@@steelers6titles yep. though She was way better than Led Zep - though never got as famous. Its ok if folks like Led better than Sandy/Fairport Conv/etc..........ok with agreeing to disagree. only thing I'm sada bout is "Sandy who" by most folks today (and even back then, she never made it big in America, only biggish in England back then - today its like "Sandy Denis" (no that is the actress in Out of Towners - lol). Not like she was the only, we had Kate Wolf, and Judee Sill too ("the kiss" is tops - but no one knows of it or her either). oh well, such is life. I should talk!!!!!!!!! I only just "discovered" the 60's rock band "Love" last year! and the same for "Mother Cat......" only last month! I'm sure they had some airplay on the radio back then, but I never heard their stuff on the radio as a kid in the 70's and they are GOOD - so how many more folks that are fab that I've yet to discover? probably 20 or more ;-/. and yep that her on the Zep song, and thanks for reply Sir! peace to you.
@@steelers6titles yep IMO, though Zep was not bad - just over rated IMO, and Sandy was underrated IMO. thanks for reply. check out Cat and Love if you do not know of them - you may like them. peace Sir.
I watched all these episodes when I was a kid in the 70s as reruns. My dad, brother, I watched it every week on our 14” black and white tv with the old rabbit ears on top.
As McCoy said, everybody ages differently and we have some control over how we age. It is a matter of maintanance. As you said, exercise, vitamins, proper diet. Also mental exercises like games and reading. But most of all: Staying active. Chuck Yeager said, "Do what you love for as long as you can and when you can't do that anymore do the next best thing."
Interesting episode. I consider myself to be a soon to be 76 yo container with a 39 yo living inside it.!! I am an engineer. In the past 2-1/2 years, after leaving my last position I have interviewed for work with probably 25 companies, through fantastic phone interviews. But when meeting the, "team" I would be working with, via different video methods, I get, "We've decided to go with another candidate", or, "We've decided not to fill the position at this time!" . That is literally the only two rejections I have gotten. Really disappointing. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Im in that category of viewers, Bunny. Im the same age as Star Trek, actually. My wife is a couple years older than me and in the midst of severe Dementia. Last month was our 34th anniversary but shes been ill for about 7yrs now. It doesnt matter what exercise she would have done. Doctors tell us in most cases its random or genetic. I wish I could tell u how it feels getting older but i cant take the time to think of that. I care for my wife and thats all i have time to think about...and going to work. Right now i have just a bit of free time and I love spending it with ur channel and ur reactions to Star Trek: TOS. My only wish is that u eventually u get to 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine' and that my wife and I will still be alive when u do get to it. LOL!!!!
I've been saying for a while that getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative, at least up to a point. I'm 58, youngest of three. My oldest sister is 63, and in great shape. She and her husband stay connected to their community and their garden. My brother, 61, is really struggling, but that is because he has been ignoring his health for 25 years, and it's a bit late to catch up. We all do the best we can.
That's how good this show is. It tackles every issue you can imagine. And the shocking thing to many younger people ... ALL of these things were issues LONG before you were even born. Long before I was even born (a guy in his 50s). Food for thought ... as a 50+ year old man who HAS taken care of myself over the decades, the most interesting thing about aging is, your brain does not really recognize your age. knowledge and experience aside, i still feel like I'm in my mid 20s (when a became a full ADULT). Mentally I don't "feel" any older. The body starts acting up in your 40s (ask anyone) if you are generally in good health. Earlier if you had no respect for your body up to that point. Keep that heart pumping (a "walk" does not count) and get lifting some weight (again ... if it's not hard it does not count). Muscle is EVERYTHING. My photographic memory is not what it used to be. My instant recall of information is not there anymore (it takes time) but those are minor inconveniences. You work around it. Recovery time is slower ... muscles and joints hurt more than they used to, but there are things to help with that. I'll stop now. Getting long-winded in my old age ... 😂🤣 The most important take-away, STAR TREK is timeless (original series) and we can ALL relate to it 😁
I am really enjoying you sharing your reactions to these episodes I always have found memories of my Father and I watching these together when I was a kid. Sending love ❤. Thank you so much!
I was 15 when Star Trek first aired. And I really liked this episode because it had so much Chekov in it and he was my favourite character.. I’m 68 years old now, and it really annoys me how they portrayed old people. Not sure why they had to bring senility into it. It is a worry of mine, my mom had Alzheimer’s and it is a very difficult disease. But I do have to say we still had laughter and good times with her. And you are absolutely correct, they wasted all that time on the stupid hearing. as a writer, I can see how badly this episode is structured and how they couldn’t really find a decent conflict for it so they put the silly problem with Kirk’s memory in it. William Shatner is 93 and not nearly as feeble as he was portrayed here LOL. As far as dementia goes, look after yourself physically, that is the best way to ward it off, especially avoiding junk and processed food. I love watching your reaction videos, it’s wonderful to see Star Trek through fresh eyes.

I’m enjoying watching these episodes with you! I turn 62 in June. Sending you hugs Bunny! Keep up the great work…also I used to have those photo novels back in the ‘70s…I wish I still had them, I do have all my Star Trek calendars from the 70’s
I really like your channel and the way you think. You talked about utopia after one of the episodes and it really helped me see another side. I'm in my 70's and I am glad to be alive. I have many physical frailties but I enjoy learning about new things and reminiscing about old things. I am more likely to see my college friends now at a funeral rather than a festival. You can only do so much... Enjoy each day, smile and be kind.
Hey Bunny, Jim here. I am at the upper end of the scale at 64. I'm healthy, but the aches and pains are there. still everything works and I'm not on any medications. I don't even take aspirin. I don't feel like I'm old I just am, lol. As for dying, it is what it is when it is. It doesn't bother me. As for what I think happens, I have no idea. While I would love for the eternal life thing to be true, my Spock mind gets in the way. Thanks Bunny, Loving taking this journey with you.
I'm 54 and in Oct I have another birthday. Our community considers me an elder. As I look back I see a life of service and gratitude. My family is good and love each other no matter what. For sure there's more but I believe it is enough. Peace
You ask some great questions! This episode was about loyalty, duty, competency, and insight only Star Trek can bring. This is the 2nd time Kirk relieves a Commodore out of the captain's chair.
FYI: A diet that is heavy into ingredients that fight inflammation (fatty fish, tomatoes, olive oil, many kinds of nuts, etc) counters MANY of the aging effects, including heart problems, mobility issues and some cancers, can be slowed and even reversed by what you eat. Mental issues can be further delayed with reading, puzzles and/or always having productive goals. (Issues that seemed to be starting several years ago disappeared when I did those things.)
@@bunnytailsREACTS Sorry, I forgot to mention something important ---- turmeric (especially when used with black pepper) is extremely effective, but if used by someone on things like BP medications it can cause complications.
Missed you last week. Appreciate your outtro today and your sense of humor very much. BTW, I wanted to say until the 80s w/ VCRs most ppl in the 60s had only seen TOS episodes twice, original airdate & summer re-runs. Syndication on local TV stations after school started in the mid-70s but your top demographic had already started extracurriculars, jobs and only could occasionally catch them on TV until VHS was popular. Watching your spin on these episodes make them seem completely fresh again. Thank you for what you do Bunny.
Hi Bunny, this episode has been one of the most remembered and remarked upon by viewers and fans for decades. Your touching remarks about facing the later years and dealing with aging has resonated with so many who consider the prospect when viewing this episode. The comments that have come out have such poienent and personal reflections on how they deal with their elders and loved ones and eventually themselves facing the reality of growing old. Isn't it amazing how a thoughtful but hard to face concept can be displayed in a TV episode and cause so much emotional response on a subject we can all relate and share our viewpoints on.
I had a handful of Trek photo books when I was a kid. They didn't survive the childhood years, so I don't remember which ones. But I came across remains of "The Trouble with Tribbles" book, so I know I had that one.
Just always remember that there is rain in every life, but there are rainbows too. To quote an old Moody Blues song: "Never blame the rainbows for the rain." I don't know what they meant it to mean, only what it means to me, but that is that as life takes the inevitable tough turns, keep your focus on the good in it, not the problems.

There is a great outtake of this episode: Shatner had been in the makeup chair for three hours while they applied more old-age makeup for a scene they needed to shoot (they really didn't plan very well); by the time they were finished, the studio had to close down. He's facing the camera, looking old as Grandpa Walton, and telling producer Bob Justman that he's going home now, and that he'll have to spend three hours tomorrow "putting this F******* MAKEUP BACK ON!! And it's...YOUR fault!" 😂😂 Anyway, love your reactions.
I remember in one of the blooper reels that played at Star Trek conventions, Beverly Washburn as Lt. Galway was doing the scene when she first went to McCoy when she was starting get symptoms of premature aging, and when he asked her what was wrong, she blurted out "I just feel like hell! I really do!" then started laughing.
Hey Bunny, I'm an old relic myself and I really appreciate your genuine, thoughtful videos. You really get it. Let me just say, back in the 70's, when we had no internet or VCR, stuff like those photo novels were like gold! Don't stress out over losing your mental faculties in the future. Keep fit, read a lot, and make friends with people from every age group. I'm not saying that will prevent it, but at least you'll have some good memories. Also, I think going out of your comfort zone helps. But you already seem very aware and well-adjusted.
Bunny, thank you for your kind and sweet words. Yes, I do think that Star Trek has managed to bring generations together in community. Seeing your reactions to a show which so many of us of the older population have cherished for so long is heartwarming. You truly belong to the Star Trek family. This speaks volumes to the enduring legacy which is Star Trek.
You have insight and an inquiring mind, Bunny. You are intelligent and sensitive and ahead of most people your age. I am glad the deeper themes of Star Trek and life itself are not wasted on you. You go right ahead and remind your audience to eat their vegetables and train with weights. We forget sometimes. Check out a book by the title of "Younger Next Year" sometime. You'll like it. Gene Roddenberry had faith that Star Trek would live on in the hearts of generations yet to come. Thanks for proving him right. 😊
There was a time when Star Trek TOS would run 5 days a week on your local TV network usually around 5 PM. There was both a sense of nostalgia plus comfort to have the show reliably broadcast daily. But also, it was always a surprise which episode would air.
Oh those Bantam Books Fotonovels were AWESOME ! Back before we even had VHS ! this was the best way to keep our cherished shows fresh in our memories ! Such an underrated format… I really cherished mine, “The Trouble With Tribbles”, “A Taste of Armageddon” and the “Battlestar Galactica” movie tie-in fotonovel… I think of all people, you will really appreciate them !
Bunny, your comments in your conclusion segment were so thoughtful, especially the very last five minutes. I wish you comfort, peace, rest, the best of health, and great strength. I get the impression that you are focusing on taking your diet, exercise, medical and overall health quite seriously. That is such a good thing to be getting organized at now, at your still young age. Early rather than later. Smart girl. It will serve you well in the future. Please get your rest and take good care of yourself. Thanks for having this reactions channel. You and it are top notch. Thanks.
I always enjoy your reacts, this one was especially good! Aging is always a difficult subject, but we are all tied together by it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and time with this react!
I am 68. It's amazing to me that 68 is the same age as some old people. :)
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Every day is a gift. That's why it's called the present.
Live long and prosper!
WOW I just read that line in a book yesterday that I"m currently reading, I LOVE THAT QUOTE! It read the past is a history the future is mystery but same exact thing! WOW! I'm only 48
Very beautifully said.

What is old, is now new. Heh. The youngsters won't get that multifaceted joke till later.
Been watching Kung Fu Panda again?
The moment Kirk walks back onto the bridge fully recovered is such a cool moment... That sells how good Shatner was as the Captain. He utterly nailed the role. It's amazing in real life he's now 93 and even went into space last year. How cool was that...... Yep old age is a bitch but at 62 I'm resigned now to being an old fart....
Bak! 😩 I hated that part most of all!
That is _not_ how radiation poisoning works! Once the body has suffered cell damage from radiation, the destroyed cells don't grow back just like they were before.
And even if they do grow back, or could be induced to grow back with medication, the damage would not be undone _instantly!_ 🤨
Sure this is a science fiction show, and we have to let go of some problems for the sake of the story, but that is just going too far.
@@TheNoiseySpectator It doesn't actually say in the episode what caused the mutation or disease and to be fair how do we know hundreds of years from now cell regeneration or even genetic manipulation will be as common as muck. Also remember rats are resistant to radiation so maybe we learned a thing or two from them over the next two centuries...

If you are going to suspend disbelief about them being able to go faster than light speed, and also teleport people, then you might as well suspend disbelief when it comes to their medical abilities too.
Mind over matter. Keep your mind young! Stay away from people who are always talking about being old. The topics of you PSA count, the fiber in your food to be regular and your wife calling you "Poppa"-- run! Don't stay with the same hair cut and let it grow out a bit. Live like a Vulcan and you will live to be 250 and turn on some cartoons from Hanna-Barbara! Johnny Quest and the Herculoids live!

"but that is just going too far"
I had exactly the same thought every time I watched this episode. The recovery happened way too quickly. They could have at least shown him with some grey hair left instead of being exactly how he looked before. Bones could have said something like, "It will take several treatments Jim, but you'll be back to your old self in no time." But overall it was just a minor annoyance for me. I enjoyed the episode in general, especially how Kirk dealt with the Romulans. There was a nice build-up to that throughout the episode.
For playing such a famously grumpy curmudgeon DeForest Kelly, Bones, was known as a sweetheart who wrote poetry for his friends and kept peace between the sometimes feuding Shatner and Nimoy.
Also he fought giant bunnies.
I use to speak with Richard Arnold who was the assistant to Gene Roddenberry. He told me some great stories.

I am an original viewer of Star Trek and watch your reactions because I can never see Star Trek for the first time again. It is just so much fun to watch you watching Star Trek for the first time. Star Trek was magic for a ten year old boy. Now the magic is watching you. There is also the magic of reading Shatner’s, Sulu’s and Adam Nimoy’s tweets and if I want, tweeting back and them and the hope they will actually read my tweet. Keep up the good work.
Nicely put
Ditto, I was 18 when the series started. I know every episode by heart. It's so enjoyable watching it with bunnytails, a new viewer with her own perspective. Thank you bunnytails for a fresh outlook.
Thank you!
That last OG Star Trek movie that had Sulu as captain was awsome. I would have loved watching a series with Sulu as captain.
That's the great thing about reaction videos.
To connect to another sci-fi series, that's similar to why the Doctor travels with companions on Doctor Who:
"I can't see it anymore. I look at a star and it’s just a big ball of burning gas and I know how it began and I know how it ends and I was probably there both times. After a while, everything is just stuff! That’s the problem. You make all of space and time your backyard and what do you have? A backyard. But you, you can see it. And when you see it, I see it."
And William Shatner has beaten the odds having turned 93 years old in March. 🙂
William Shatner is not the same person as Captain Kirk. ☝
To think of a actor as being synonymous with one of his characters is demeaning to that actor. ☹
Besides, those are _Canadian, metric years._
@@TheNoiseySpectator Well, it was a casual observation. My meaning is he still has his mental faculties unlike in this episode where he was getting senile at a much earlier age. But, yeah, I seem to recall he is a different person from Captain Kirk. And I'm old enough to remember seeing the very first episode of the series back in Sept. 1966. Lol.
@@TheNoiseySpectator indeed. We should never diminish Denny Crane!
And he still rides his horses. I have been saying for years that he would make an excellent Cameo on Yellowstone 👍
With just Shatner, Takei and Walter Koneig left like the show Chekov may be the last of the old crew and first of the new. RIP Lenord Nimoy, Anton, Jimmy, Deforest, Nichelle, Gene and MB Rodenberry plus Lucille Ball (The Producer) Just hope their vision survives better than Lucas's with Hollywierd and PedoDisney.
As someone that is in the upper end of your demographic, your outro was very interesting and thought provoking. Not many "reactors" take the time to really think about what they are watching. I'm glad you do.
Good point !
i turned 63 last thursday. i remember being a kid thinking people in their 60s were old. now that i'm here i don't feel old,but i am aware i have far fewer years ahead of me than i have behind me. my goal now is to make the most of the time i have left,however long that may be. every day you wake up is a blessing.
When I was a teenager, I used to wish I lived only until 70. That seemed like an age where the mind and body started to fade. Yikes! Now I'm 60! 90 please!
As kids we thought Bones looked old. Now we realize he was still young then.
@@robertfindley921Hmm. My father lived to almost 90,but his mind faded a great deal around 85/86.
It wasn't Alzheimer's, but something related. Extreme old age isn't always such a great thing, and yeah, I do realize it's different for everyone. No cute remarks please.
And have you noticed the time seems to go by faster as you get older the weeks just seemed to flyby
@@vincentpuccio3689 hell yeah. i can't believe half of 2024 is almost gone
You are such a sweetheart! I savor your expression of genuine emotion. You are the perfect Star Trek fan!

Whenever I feel old, I just flip myself off in the nearest mirror
You have a great vocabulary as a reactor and deep understanding of people. At 62 years of age, with almost 34 years as a truck driver, I sometimes rely on Aleve and 5 hour energy for my body. However, I have an interest in many hobbies and my Spiritual faith which helps keep me feeling young and hopeful for the future.
Thank you for your excellent reactions.
You're welcome :)
Thank you for caring about us and helping us relive the wonder of Star Trek from our youth.
These original Star Trek reactions are some of my absolute favorite reactions on all of UA-cam. Thanks for doing them!
Always my pleasure, Max!
@@bunnytailsREACTSI like your ample nacelles
Great purchase, Bunny!!! ✌️ The Fotonovels are absolute gold!!! 👍 I've owned them myself. Unfortunately, I don't have them anymore. 😥
I believe this was the first full episode I ever watched of Star Trek. I was around 10 or 11, and started watching it farily regularly. It was only after my family moved from Montreal to Halifax when I was 13 and I left all my friends behind that I absolutely fell in love with the show.
Back in Montreal, it was on in re-runs in the weekday afternoons on one of the stations we got (I think it was the NBC station, but I'm not positive) when I first started watching. It was also on Saturdays around noon on CBC. Later, it was on an ABC station in the evenings. The cool thing about the ABC one is that, while most people in our neighbourhood had cable, and got their ABC station from Burlington, we had an aerial on the roof that picked up an ABC and a PBS station from Boston. Meaning, I was the only one who got Star Trek at 7:00 every weekday evenings. I had friends who would come over to watch it with me.
Your reactions remind me of some of mine back then, although you obvioulsy have a much more mature perspective on life than I did in my early teens. Thanks for sharing these with us.

@@bunnytailsREACTS 😂All good.
Beam me up Scotty. 11/7/24 TH
Thank you for your empathy towards your viewership : ) Everyone's timeline and path is different. My body stopped working normally at age 30. I often wish I could go back and feel normal again, or have had a normal life until much later. My grandparents were vibrant until their 90s. A friend died at age 35 of cancer. So if you are young and healthy, or just healthy, enjoy it, appreciate it. We don't know when our lives will diminish or stop. For now, I try to appreciate small blessings, and accept my lot without despair. In the meantime, it's nice to see a younger generation enjoying Star Trek, and hopefully the love we feel for it will live on, forever.
Well said. Perhaps I've simply not aged as well as many, but I do have my share of pains and health problems. Am old enough to recall TOS first-run, but really came to know it in the afternoon reruns in the '70s.
My mother passed away two weeks ago at the age of 93. My father had passed away six years ago at the age of 86. As their primary care giver I had a ringside seat to see how advanced age can affect people as they struggle to adapt to their physical and mental abilities growing ever more limited.
I am very sorry for your losses. ❤️
Having someone to truly and really care for them in their final years must have been truly wonderful for them.
Phew! That was a close call. I checked my bookshelves to make sure no "well meaning" relative or friend didn't take my copy to send it to Bunny.
Fortunately, my collection remains intact.
Also, bravo to Bunny for appreciation of physical media.
Glad to hear you and others have a copy as well!
@@bunnytailsREACTS 🙂 It is fun watching you enjoy the episodes, deduce things and know that if were watching together in the same room, I'd try to answer your questions in a non-spoiler way. However, because this is the Internet,...I will stick with post-episode, non-spoiler comments. None of us want to spoil your fun.
Having seen this the first time in the 70's, I can tell you this episode hits differently now. I'm 57 now and recently lost both parents. You are so sweet and appreciated.
My sympathies to you.
It isn't a good Saturday without Bunny and Star Trek. A classic episode. Loved those Fotonovels as a teen in the '70's. I don't think I had the entire set but I had quite a few.

🙂 6:51 - Vulcans have a life span of over 200 years.
if someone wasn't paying attention when hearing the title, they could think this is an episode where Spock's pointy ears go rogue!
ps: one day, in the far distant future, a wise old Bunnytails will look back on this video reaction and chuckle at the apparent anxiety about aging. I think anxiety about aging comes from regrets.
The more I have rewatched TOS and the movies over the years the more I've come to appreciate just what a terrific actor DeForest Kelley (Bones) was. I just rewatched Star Trek 5 today and whatever one may think of that film there is a dramatic scene in it which DeForest absolutely slays.
This is one of those episodes that hits harder after so many years. With so many of the crew passed on. 😢.
Yep😢
Fun episode. Chekov gets one of his best scripts.
The hearing was for dramatic effect. McCoy might understand the why, but his loyalty would probably refuse to relieve the Captain. It took Spock's logic to hold the hearing. It also created a rift between Spock and Kirk. Old age scares everyone. Thanks Bunny, hope for a long and happy life for you and the ones you love.
The only reason story-wise for the hearing was because Commodore Stocker ordered Spock to do it. The reason from another standpoint was to showcase their acting abilities. They all portrayed playing older quite believably. And the makeup department got to showcase their talents as well. A win-win for everyone, and a much better episode than I remembered.
Once again, we have an episode pitting the commodore vs. the captain and once again putting Spock in the middle. The only problem with the writing in this one (which was likely fudged for dramatic purposes) is that Commodore Stocker is not a line officer. According to Kirk he has never had a field command.
In any "naval" service it is possible to have high ranking officers, even flag officers like Stocker, who are trained and guided into administrative roles, medicine, the chaplain's corps, Judge Advocate General's office etc. However, only a line officer can assume command of a vessel on duty, regardless of rank. There's a similar regulation in naval aviation. Both the captain and the XO (and of course, the commander air group) aboard a carrier must have flight service. Even a line officer of equivalent or higher rank cannot command a carrier if they don't have their wings.
This is one among many reasons you never see McCoy in command. Despite the fact he is one of the highest ranking officers on the ship, his rank is the result of his position as a department chief and because he has an M.D. He likely has only rudimentary command training and he definitely isn't a line officer. Therefore he can never competently command the Enterprise.
As afflicted as Kirk was in this episode he's exactly right. Sulu should have been given command. Granted, he's only a lieutenant, but he is qualified. Stocker isn't.
Yes. And we've even seen Sulu command the Enterprise into battle in "Errand of Mercy."
@@the_tone7167 Yes and in command when the Gorn attacked.
Having served in the US Navy as a sonar technician, you are absolutely correct. Indeed, an onboard dentist, or physician, or lawyer may enjoy the pay, perks, and privilege of his rank, but when it comes to ship functions beyond the scope of his specialization, he falls under the command of even the most junior "line officer". If I understood the hierarchy correctly, even the noncommissioned officers are above him. In other words, if the Enterprise were a Navy ship, Sulu, or someone like him, would have assumed command because ship command falls under the hierarchy of line officers. For example, on the Enterprise, Sulu would assume command over McCoy although Mcoy technically outranks him.
Why then, do these specialist professionals even get the rank? Because military pay structure, as dictated by a Congressional act, defines any given military pay scale as relative to a specific rank. To be competitive with non-military interests and not suffer an inherent "brain drain" to the private sector, these professionals are given a pay scale consummate with their specialized education and the only Congressionally approved way to appropriately compensate them is to give them a rank associated with that given pay scale.
Agreed. Sulu or Uhura should have taken command, and in no actual military service would this have been permitted.
Grace Murray Hopper, the inventor of the COBOL programming language retired as a Navy Rear Admiral (replaced rank of Commodore) at age 79. At the time she was the oldest serving officer in the US Armed Forces (1986.) She was a programmer, and never commanded a ship.
I am 60, and although I have started to feel some aches and pains here and there, I do feel fortunate that for the most part I still have the agility and cognitive ability of someone much younger. I have been working out and eating mostly well since my twenties and it does make a big difference and I am always looking for ways to improve my diet and to stay in shape both mentally and physically. But yes, the years do fly by incredibly fast. When the topic arises, I always tell younger people to really enjoy and cherish the present time because one day you wake up and realize that decades have gone by "In the wink of an eye" to quote a Star Trek episode. You have already realized this at your young age so you're ahead of the curve. Live long and prosper !
I am 54 and the years are definitely catching up to me physically, my brain is currently functioning as normal but I watched my father who was an intelligent man lose his mental faculties 3months prior to his passing and it was the most heart wrenching part of his passing for me. The problem with growing older is not so much wanting to do those things to keep you healthy it's also the time we have to do them. I was told the last 3months of my fathers life he was going thru what is known as the sundown effect and it varies from person to person, in addition to memory problems and general awareness issues he became quite angry and unfortunately took that out on me verbally, but what could I do accept take it as best as could but it was difficult seeing him and being verbally abused during the final months of his life I tried not to take it personally understanding what was going on in his brain but it was the toughest emotional thing I had to endure nothing can prepare you for such a thing but like other things in life you do the best you can, my advice don't think about such things too much and enjoy the time you have with loved ones while you can
Absolutely loved 🥰 your heartfelt reaction, ty
My pleasure 😊
Excellent comments on your part, BT. I had medical power of attorney for my half-brother when got Alzheimer's. To watch someone deteriorate in that way is horrible. The worst was when he was still "there", but realized he was fading. He would say word-salad words, and know it wasn't what he wanted to say. He would get so frustrated. I turned 61 this week and my worst fear is not cancer anymore. It's dementia. I've told my wife and kids that if I ever get dementia, when it becomes painful for them to see me that way, to stop visiting me (assuming I'm in a community become at that point). I don't want them to watch and experience what I saw happen to my half-brother. As for getting older, it's actually not that bad. I've stopped worrying about the small stuff. I appreciate things more and stop to appreciate them now. I have decades old friendships that I cherish. To anyone under 40, please exercise and open a Roth retirement account NOW, if you haven't already. And stop worrying about things that will mean nothing a week from now! And for God's sake, see your doctor for a yearly checkup to catch any health problems before they become a big problem! As usual, BT, it's always a pleasure to experience Classiic Trek through fresh eyes. Thanks, again 😁😅
Terrific video, thanks. To answer one of your questions, Commodore Stockard couldn't afford to let a junior officer take command when he was right there with so much greater rank--it'd have been an admission that he believed he was incapable of field command, which would tend to disqualify him from further promotion. But yes, he should have anyway
So glad you are back.
We enjoy your company too! 🥰
Thanks for the fun of getting to know this series all over again! 👍

One good thing about getting old is you’re not as resistant to eating your vegetables as you were as a kid 😊
Best advice about handling aging; don’t sweat it. It’s all just experience. Even the not so great stuff like arthritis and memory loss. You’re still young, enjoy it ❤.
I remember reading somewhere that there’s an idea or thought that we don’t like vegetables as a kid because our sense of taste hasn’t been broadened yet, and with ageing we are able to enjoy the variations in taste a lot more because our taste sense is more finely attuned. The one taste sense that younger people have that works well is for sweet things, however as we age further we begin to lose finer senses we developed and again the one that remains is sweet, so a lot of older people develop a rekindled love of sweets as in youth. It’s kind of a fun little loop.
This episode probably means more to me now certainly than when I was younger. I am 53 now and already have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Which my mom also had. And I am in allot of pain now pretty everyday from it. I certainly hope by the 23rd century that they will find a cure for that. So I appreciate your comments at the end of your video. But I am glad to say for now that I still have allot of mental clarity. So I am afraid I am not one of your fans who is happy and well. But I can say for sure I feel more happy and well bunnytails when I watch your videos! It's been a real delight to see your enjoying Star Trek TOS so much all these many months. As well as your other reviews. Star Trek TOS was a show that inspired millions of us when we were young and helped us dream of a better tomorrow! And yes I will keep eating my veggies and getting my vitamin D! Keep Trekking!
i cannot stress enough how much i enjoy your reactions. i'm 56, these shows were in re-runs when i was small and i watched them with my dad, and later by myself.
you don't just watch them. you think about them, their relevance. how they may have been received then, what they mean now.
and today you proved once again that you are an amazing and insightful person, with a warm heart - and a courageous willingness to share some deep and personal thoughts.
you are doing amazing things here, keep it up!
As someone who falls into your majority demographic, I appreciate your empathy. Yes, my body used to be able to tolerate anything. Hot, cold, junk food diet, wounds etc. Now it recovers much slower, the processes are different and more sensitive and I require a lot more maintenance than I used to. I have a lot more doctors than ever before and the meds...argh! It is depressing at times, but I realize that everyone goes through it at some point. All you can do is the best you can; limit what you have to, but try to keep doing as much as you can. Thanks for caring.
This is a good episode particularly for the heroic finale with Kirk swooping in and saving them all. Stocker was right to relieve him, but he was wrong to assume command himself. Vulcans live to about 200, I believe; if you can pick of the Star Trek Concordance somewhere by Bjo Trimble, it has TONS of Star Trek trivia and is a wealth of knowledge. Trimble and her hubby basically saved Star Trek from cancellation back in 1968.
Thanks for another great reaction, and see you next week!
You described old age ailments no better than I could have. To just feel 20 years younger for a day would be a blessing!
@@bjgandalf69 Absolutely!
I like this episode, if for no other reason than to have some good fun with many of the ironies between the storytelling and real life. The cast aged far more gracefully than the episode depicts them, while Beverly Washburn (the ill-fated Lt. Galway) is eighty years young and has thus far outlived everyone but Shatner and Koenig. Even Felix Locher, who plays "29-year-old" Robert Johnson at the beginning of the episode, is the earliest-born "Star Trek" performer ever, being born in 1882!
George Takei is still alive as well.
I turn 65 in a couple of weeks. I watched a few episodes live, but was able to catch all the movies on the big screen opening night.
My body and my mind are not what they once were.
Two thoughts. "Reaching old age beats the alternative." And, as Mark Twain said, "Youth is a quality wasted on the young."
So appreciate what you have, and cherish it.
As for ageing, the advice I was given on it was to remain child like, not childish, there's a stark difference. If you can hold on to being child like, seeing every new experience as something to relish or at least some new adventure, be they the challenges of ageing or experiencing new things, then old age will be better sailing, less a burden, don't lose the mystery of exploring new things as you age, getting stuck in your old tired habits, go out, explore, discover "strange new worlds."
In the 70s, as I grew up as a young Star Trek fan, you could only watch the episodes as your local station aired them, so the books were the only thing you had for on demand entertainment, such as the series written by James Blish, in which he would take the screenplay and write short story versions of them. Buy a suggestion from my mother, I started to cassette record the audio of all the episodes as they would play on TV so I could revisit them anytime. I would listen to them and let the scenes play out in my mind .The photo novels came out at a time when even though the VCR now existed, they were still simple and very expensive. I have a number of the photo novels from that time, but not the complete set. I would take these and read through them as I listen to my audio recordings and then I had the scenes right there in front of me. I have the photo novel of the first movie. At the time I had hoped they would produce a photo novel for every episode in this series, but that did not come to pass as VCR’s became more popular and less expensive. Thank you for sharing your purchase of the photo novels. It brings back great memories.
You point out an interesting issue about the competency hearing. The only thing I could come up with is the time constraints in telling the story. Trying to show how the aging process was affecting our heroes and pushing things to the limit. Especially with the Romulans attacking. Good point though. And thanks for your concern for your viewers! Very cool.😎
Hi Mrs. Bunnytail, my name is Billy, 56yo and I enjoy the way you combine innocence with intelligence and the way you see and put yourself emotionally inside the characters and story as it unfolds. Thank you for your natural insight and podcast.
We love it when you get ... "sappy" 😁
Your ST:TOS reaction videos are the best I've seen. You truly enjoy these episodes for what they are, and your kind and sincere demeanor make these videos a pleasure to watch.
I'm only 52, but went a few rounds with cancer a few years ago. Aches and pains become a lot more normal, and grieving the loss of loved ones gets more common, but most of all aging just isn't as scary as it once was. The worst case scenarios are definitely horrible but the general fear of it all is just a lot less and I think that's the natural way of things. If we're lucky we live long enough, and well enough, to be ready when our time comes.
Thanks
Thank you Ronnie!
I think you are right, Sulu should have been in command. I know what you mean about health, my father has become more forgetful, often phones me a few times a day asking the same questions. i just have to show him compassion, patience and understanding.
Agreed! Sulu is next in Command and Uhura after him. The Commodore outranked them but had no experience. We’ve seen both Sulu and Uhura take command so we know they can do it. I think since the Commodore has no experience he ordered the hearing. McCoy didn’t want to relieve Kirk or he would’ve much sooner. The Commodore’s lack of experience nearly doomed the crew.
Thank you awall, and I wish you and your dad well ❤️
@@bunnytailsREACTS Thank you ever so much.
Make sure he stays off sugar and carbs as much as possible. especially candy and other sweets. It has been proven to hasten the problem. people with memory problems who cut out sweets and sugar have been shown to improve. Research it.
@@lechatel I am well aware, but unfortunately my husband (is that who we are talking about?) thinks I am a bit of a fanatic who “believes everything she hears from ‘random UA-camrs’” and doesn’t listen to me…
I had one of those books that I had my mom buy me from the Safeway supermarket. 1978 sounds about right as I was about eight years old. Mine was a copy of "Where No Man Has Gone Before". I remember the book coming apart at the binding into many sections. Bad glue job vs. an eight year old boy.
If you already didn't know, there are tons of Star Trek the Original Series novels available on Amazon. They keep writing them so we can continue the voyages with our favorite Starship crew. I recently read one and really enjoyed it. The characters and voicing are really well done. Its the next best thing to watching the series or movies. Thanks for your hard work, love the show.
Hi Bunnytails, I am 63 and aim to keep watching your Star Trek reactions until I am 103. I enjoy your reactions immensely. And Star Trek has been around almost 60 years now, so I am confident it will be around for a full century.
That is the spirit!!
I think this episode was written just to give the actors the opportunity to show their acting skills. Shatner, Nimoy, Kelly and Doohan had to be "OLD". The competency hearing did seem a bit out of place.......and who was commanding the bridge at the time?! 😲
Growing "old" can be great or it can be miserable. It's all about your attitude and your desire to enjoy life rather than just exist. If you choose the latter, time will fly by, and you wake up one day realizing that you missed it all.
I let my past go too fast
No time to pause
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain, whose ship runs aground
I can wait until the tide comes around
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now
Time stand still
-- Neil Peart ("Time Stand Still", 1987)
Very well said!
Anyone who can quote the great poet and world class drummer, Neil Peart, is #1 in my book. Time Stands Still still makes me tear up EVERY time I hear Geddy Lee sing those lyrics!
@@bjgandalf69 …. Bunny, Rush and Star Trek : The Trifecta!
@@bjgandalf69 The music video is fun, too :)
Of Rush.
Courtroom Drama as a staple of 60's & 70's TV. The writers did what came natural.
That's a good point. I didn't realize that. But I believe that Perry Mason was also a very popular TV series of the era, so you are probably right.
You said "where did the time go" - brought to my mind my favorite song by a long dead and never fully recognized Folk-Rock singer Sandy Denny's song "Who Knows Where the Time Goes"
She was fab, even an old guy like me did not know of here until 20 yrs ago - she sang and died decades prior to 2000.
And never assume you have years to live, one of my best friends died at 24 in 1989 because the coke machine at KU robbed him of the coke. He rocked the machine to get his coke and it fell on him and killed him 3 days later in the hospital. Lance was a good man, died far to young for no reason, he acted without wisdom and it costed him his life. His death was the first step for me in learning about Gratitude.
Value each day you have, and never assume you will have many more in the future.

@@steelers6titles yep. though She was way better than Led Zep - though never got as famous. Its ok if folks like Led better than Sandy/Fairport Conv/etc..........ok with agreeing to disagree. only thing I'm sada bout is "Sandy who" by most folks today (and even back then, she never made it big in America, only biggish in England back then - today its like "Sandy Denis" (no that is the actress in Out of Towners - lol). Not like she was the only, we had Kate Wolf, and Judee Sill too ("the kiss" is tops - but no one knows of it or her either). oh well, such is life. I should talk!!!!!!!!! I only just "discovered" the 60's rock band "Love" last year! and the same for "Mother Cat......" only last month! I'm sure they had some airplay on the radio back then, but I never heard their stuff on the radio as a kid in the 70's and they are GOOD - so how many more folks that are fab that I've yet to discover? probably 20 or more ;-/.
and yep that her on the Zep song, and thanks for reply Sir! peace to you.

Aging is difficult because there is a part of your awareness that always sees things through a younger perspective.
Agreed. I can't believe these window panes I am looking through are old. Most of the time I feel they belong to a teenager.
Love that you get Star Trek. Each episode was a Shakespeare play with a message of humanity
I watched all these episodes when I was a kid in the 70s as reruns. My dad, brother, I watched it every week on our 14” black and white tv with the old rabbit ears on top.
I have all the Star Trek TOS photo novels myself! Mine are all in pretty much mint condition! And we all enjoy your company very much too bunnytails!
Awesome!
My former landlord (before I moved) was 90 years old. I got sick one evening. He drove me to the hospital: best driver ever.
Really good to see you back with your Star Trek reactions. Missed you! Thanks for your videos!
As McCoy said, everybody ages differently and we have some control over how we age. It is a matter of maintanance. As you said, exercise, vitamins, proper diet. Also mental exercises like games and reading. But most of all: Staying active. Chuck Yeager said, "Do what you love for as long as you can and when you can't do that anymore do the next best thing."
Interesting episode. I consider myself to be a soon to be 76 yo container with a 39 yo living inside it.!!
I am an engineer. In the past 2-1/2 years, after leaving my last position I have interviewed for work with probably 25 companies, through fantastic phone interviews. But when meeting the, "team" I would be working with, via different video methods, I get, "We've decided to go with another candidate", or, "We've decided not to fill the position at this time!" . That is literally the only two rejections I have gotten.
Really disappointing.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Im in that category of viewers, Bunny. Im the same age as Star Trek, actually. My wife is a couple years older than me and in the midst of severe Dementia. Last month was our 34th anniversary but shes been ill for about 7yrs now. It doesnt matter what exercise she would have done. Doctors tell us in most cases its random or genetic. I wish I could tell u how it feels getting older but i cant take the time to think of that. I care for my wife and thats all i have time to think about...and going to work. Right now i have just a bit of free time and I love spending it with ur channel and ur reactions to Star Trek: TOS. My only wish is that u eventually u get to 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine' and that my wife and I will still be alive when u do get to it. LOL!!!!
I will try to get to it as fast as I can!
We are all looking forward to it, Bunny. TAS, TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise!
And maybe even the movies too, after either the original series or the animated series hopefully. 😊
Absolutely loved your reactions to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, by the way!
@@rickjohnston2667 yes!
Remember when you watched "Journey To Babel"? Spock's Father was said to be 102 (I believe) - the Music Loving Klingon
I've been saying for a while that getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative, at least up to a point. I'm 58, youngest of three. My oldest sister is 63, and in great shape. She and her husband stay connected to their community and their garden. My brother, 61, is really struggling, but that is because he has been ignoring his health for 25 years, and it's a bit late to catch up. We all do the best we can.
That's how good this show is. It tackles every issue you can imagine. And the shocking thing to many younger people ... ALL of these things were issues LONG before you were even born. Long before I was even born (a guy in his 50s).
Food for thought ... as a 50+ year old man who HAS taken care of myself over the decades, the most interesting thing about aging is, your brain does not really recognize your age. knowledge and experience aside, i still feel like I'm in my mid 20s (when a became a full ADULT). Mentally I don't "feel" any older.
The body starts acting up in your 40s (ask anyone) if you are generally in good health. Earlier if you had no respect for your body up to that point.
Keep that heart pumping (a "walk" does not count) and get lifting some weight (again ... if it's not hard it does not count). Muscle is EVERYTHING.
My photographic memory is not what it used to be. My instant recall of information is not there anymore (it takes time) but those are minor inconveniences. You work around it. Recovery time is slower ... muscles and joints hurt more than they used to, but there are things to help with that.
I'll stop now. Getting long-winded in my old age ... 😂🤣
The most important take-away, STAR TREK is timeless (original series) and we can ALL relate to it 😁
Very keen that you point out the importance of keeping muscle!
@@bunnytailsREACTS Unless of course we have the genetics of William Shatner (ironically) who it appears will indeed, live FOREVER.
Glad your back this week Mrs. Bunny!
I am really enjoying you sharing your reactions to these episodes I always have found memories of my Father and I watching these together when I was a kid. Sending love ❤. Thank you so much!
That's so awesome and cool, thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
I was 15 when Star Trek first aired. And I really liked this episode because it had so much Chekov in it and he was my favourite character.. I’m 68 years old now, and it really annoys me how they portrayed old people. Not sure why they had to bring senility into it. It is a worry of mine, my mom had Alzheimer’s and it is a very difficult disease. But I do have to say we still had laughter and good times with her.
And you are absolutely correct, they wasted all that time on the stupid hearing. as a writer, I can see how badly this episode is structured and how they couldn’t really find a decent conflict for it so they put the silly problem with Kirk’s memory in it. William Shatner is 93 and not nearly as feeble as he was portrayed here LOL.
As far as dementia goes, look after yourself physically, that is the best way to ward it off, especially avoiding junk and processed food.
I love watching your reaction videos, it’s wonderful to see Star Trek through fresh eyes.
"I haven't faced Death; I've cheated Death. I tricked my way out of Death, and patted myself on the back for my Ingenuity. I know nothing." -- James T. Kirk.
I’m enjoying watching these episodes with you! I turn 62 in June. Sending you hugs Bunny! Keep up the great work…also I used to have those photo novels back in the ‘70s…I wish I still had them, I do have all my Star Trek calendars from the 70’s
Ooh I used to collect calendars. Star Trek ones sound really lovely!
I really like your channel and the way you think. You talked about utopia after one of the episodes and it really helped me see another side. I'm in my 70's and I am glad to be alive. I have many physical frailties but I enjoy learning about new things and reminiscing about old things. I am more likely to see my college friends now at a funeral rather than a festival. You can only do so much... Enjoy each day, smile and be kind.
Good episode... William Shatner is 93 now and I might say he looks better at 93 than 67 on the TOS show...
Hey Bunny, Jim here. I am at the upper end of the scale at 64. I'm healthy, but the aches and pains are there. still everything works and I'm not on any medications. I don't even take aspirin. I don't feel like I'm old I just am, lol. As for dying, it is what it is when it is. It doesn't bother me. As for what I think happens, I have no idea. While I would love for the eternal life thing to be true, my Spock mind gets in the way. Thanks Bunny, Loving taking this journey with you.
I'm 54 and in Oct I have another birthday. Our community considers me an elder. As I look back I see a life of service and gratitude. My family is good and love each other no matter what. For sure there's more but I believe it is enough. Peace
You ask some great questions! This episode was about loyalty, duty, competency, and insight only Star Trek can bring. This is the 2nd time Kirk relieves a Commodore out of the captain's chair.
FYI: A diet that is heavy into ingredients that fight inflammation (fatty fish, tomatoes, olive oil, many kinds of nuts, etc) counters MANY of the aging effects, including heart problems, mobility issues and some cancers, can be slowed and even reversed by what you eat. Mental issues can be further delayed with reading, puzzles and/or always having productive goals.
(Issues that seemed to be starting several years ago disappeared when I did those things.)
That’s great!
@@bunnytailsREACTS Sorry, I forgot to mention something important ---- turmeric (especially when used with black pepper) is extremely effective, but if used by someone on things like BP medications it can cause complications.
This episide had the most prophetic and profound quote in the entire series: McCoy saying "You can't argue with a machine."
I had 3 photonovels, they were great for pre-VHS era. Thanks Bunny!
Very cool!
Missed you last week. Appreciate your outtro today and your sense of humor very much. BTW, I wanted to say until the 80s w/ VCRs most ppl in the 60s had only seen TOS episodes twice, original airdate & summer re-runs. Syndication on local TV stations after school started in the mid-70s but your top demographic had already started extracurriculars, jobs and only could occasionally catch them on TV until VHS was popular. Watching your spin on these episodes make them seem completely fresh again. Thank you for what you do Bunny.
Hi Bunny, this episode has been one of the most remembered and remarked upon by viewers and fans for decades. Your touching remarks about facing the later years and dealing with aging has resonated with so many who consider the prospect when viewing this episode. The comments that have come out have such poienent and personal reflections on how they deal with their elders and loved ones and eventually themselves facing the reality of growing old. Isn't it amazing how a thoughtful but hard to face concept can be displayed in a TV episode and cause so much emotional response on a subject we can all relate and share our viewpoints on.
I had a handful of Trek photo books when I was a kid. They didn't survive the childhood years, so I don't remember which ones. But I came across remains of "The Trouble with Tribbles" book, so I know I had that one.
Just always remember that there is rain in every life, but there are rainbows too. To quote an old Moody Blues song: "Never blame the rainbows for the rain." I don't know what they meant it to mean, only what it means to me, but that is that as life takes the inevitable tough turns, keep your focus on the good in it, not the problems.

There is a great outtake of this episode: Shatner had been in the makeup chair for three hours while they applied more old-age makeup for a scene they needed to shoot (they really didn't plan very well); by the time they were finished, the studio had to close down. He's facing the camera, looking old as Grandpa Walton, and telling producer Bob Justman that he's going home now, and that he'll have to spend three hours tomorrow "putting this F******* MAKEUP BACK ON!! And it's...YOUR fault!" 😂😂 Anyway, love your reactions.
I remember in one of the blooper reels that played at Star Trek conventions, Beverly Washburn as Lt. Galway was doing the scene when she first went to McCoy when she was starting get symptoms of premature aging, and when he asked her what was wrong, she blurted out "I just feel like hell! I really do!" then started laughing.
9:37 - the way science is advancing right now, if you manage to make it to 2030 you won't have to fear either of those two things...and a lot more.
Hey Bunny,
I'm an old relic myself and I really appreciate your genuine, thoughtful videos. You really get it.
Let me just say, back in the 70's, when we had no internet or VCR, stuff like those photo novels were like gold!
Don't stress out over losing your mental faculties in the future.
Keep fit, read a lot, and make friends with people from every age group.
I'm not saying that will prevent it, but at least you'll have some good memories. Also, I think going out of your comfort zone helps.
But you already seem very aware and well-adjusted.
A well written episode. The makeup was outstanding. I'm glad you are enjoying star trek.
Bunny, thank you for your kind and sweet words. Yes, I do think that Star Trek has managed to bring generations together in community. Seeing your reactions to a show which so many of us of the older population have cherished for so long is heartwarming. You truly belong to the Star Trek family. This speaks volumes to the enduring legacy which is Star Trek.
You have insight and an inquiring mind, Bunny. You are intelligent and sensitive and ahead of most people your age.
I am glad the deeper themes of Star Trek and life itself are not wasted on you.
You go right ahead and remind your audience to eat their vegetables and train with weights. We forget sometimes.
Check out a book by the title of "Younger Next Year" sometime. You'll like it.
Gene Roddenberry had faith that Star Trek would live on in the hearts of generations yet to come. Thanks for proving him right. 😊
There was a time when Star Trek TOS would run 5 days a week on your local TV network usually around 5 PM. There was both a sense of nostalgia plus comfort to have the show reliably broadcast daily. But also, it was always a surprise which episode would air.
Oh those Bantam Books Fotonovels were AWESOME ! Back before we even had VHS ! this was the best way to keep our cherished shows fresh in our memories ! Such an underrated format… I really cherished mine, “The Trouble With Tribbles”, “A Taste of Armageddon” and the “Battlestar Galactica” movie tie-in fotonovel…
I think of all people, you will really appreciate them !
As a kid, before VHS I would tape shows on a cassette player. I had tapes with my favorite Movies and TV Shows.
I believe the very first vcrs came out around the late 1970s.
Bunny, your comments in your conclusion segment were so thoughtful, especially the very last five minutes. I wish you comfort, peace, rest, the best of health, and great strength. I get the impression that you are focusing on taking your diet, exercise, medical and overall health quite seriously. That is such a good thing to be getting organized at now, at your still young age. Early rather than later. Smart girl. It will serve you well in the future. Please get your rest and take good care of yourself. Thanks for having this reactions channel. You and it are top notch. Thanks.
I always enjoy your reacts, this one was especially good! Aging is always a difficult subject, but we are all tied together by it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and time with this react!
Always enlightening to ponder the predicted old person versus the actual older person. Something I've enjoyed since _Citizen Kane_ for Orson Welles.
