EARLY ACCESS First Time Watching Star Trek The Original Series - By Any Other Name S2E22 | REACTION

Julie Cobb, the daughter of Lee J. Cobb. She also starred as Linda Lysenko in the 1980 TV-movie of "Brave New World."

This episode is a riff on the "Generation Ship," a very old SF concept that speaks of solving the tremendous distances of interstellar travel by having the crew essentially live on it for multiple generations, setting their children, grandchildren, etc. to continue the voyage after them. The problem the generation ship often encounters in these old stories is that the later generations, not having been volunteers, are not committed to the mission in the same way the original crew was. This leads to many problems. (Robert Heinlein's "Orphans of the Sky" is a classic version of that story, but there are many others.) I think the reason the two halves of the show are paced so differently is that the situation faced by the characters is fundamentally different in the two halves. In the first half, they're in a hurry to try to save the ship from being commandeered. They fail. The second half, then, is the beginning of 300 years (or, more to the point, the rest of their lives) of servitude, not to mention the conquest of their home (albeit 600 years in the future); they literally have all the time in the world, and can plan carefully and act slowly. The pace really has to be different. That drinking scene is iconic. When I was in high school in the late 70s, I happened to know Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, that whole crowd. At parties, Campbell liked to stare at his glass and say, in a faux Scottish accent, "We did it, just you and me: put him right under the table."

The female red shirt killed in the beginning was in a bunch iconic 70’s,80’s and 90’s tv shows. This was her first credited role.

Interesting yet totally unsatisfactory episode because of the death of the crew person at the very beginning. In the comic book it's written that captain Jane way from star trek voyager I'm actually new that girl I think they were roommates or something.

Female Redshirts are not immune to the "curse". But remember, "It's green". That quote more or less comes up again in a TNG episode.
