“Yeah, strip club!”
walks in, immediately walks back out
“It’s chip ‘n’ dales.”
Ironically, that movie purposefully used color themes to convey the mood of each scene.
This is a neat little bootstrap paradox episode.
This is also another early example of “competency porn” in Star Trek.
Spock didn’t even exist in that universe and the entire crew of the Enterprise, including Spock’s counterpart, worked to solve the problem simply based on Kirk’s claim that all of reality was wrong.
Spock wasn’t arrested or treated as a threat, he was regarded as an equal. The resources of the Enterprise were used to figure out exactly what changed by his understanding and he was allowed to just go back and fix things once he put two and two together and discovered the paradox. All on his and Kirk’s word.
This is a DC Fontana script, and she also helped shaped TNG in the beginning, so those sensibilities definitely carried over.
It’s like a programmer standing around saying, “it’s compiling.”
A witch is standing around saying, “It’s conjuring.”

"Logic offers a serenity Humans seldom experience in full." - "Selek"
The Enterprise has returned to "The Time Planet" which contains the Guardian of Forever - a place where all points in time converge to conduct survey missions through time. After returning from ancient Orion, Captain Kirk and Commander Spock are surprised to find that no one remembers who Spock is. Least of all the First Officer of the Enterprise, an Andorian Commander named Thelin. After consulting computer records and learning that there was a Spock on Vulcan that he died at a young age, Spock requests the Guardian of Forever to allow him to travel to Vulcan in the past where he must prevent the death of his younger self without causing any additional changes to the timeline.

Dreams of late
I've had some truly hellish dreams as of late. Thoughts of betrayal, abandonment, and a whole set of terrors that shred the mind. And yet, I'm doing alright despite this. I applied to a job I otherwise would not have been prompted to. Whether that is to be fruitful, we're soon to see. Either way, I'm remarkably hopeful despite the tormenting tirades of my mind. It just is, and that's ok to be. Not every moment needs to be a catalyst of joy and wonder. It's ok to be shitty.
This is the level beyond the animal homo sapien. There is the software written in its flesh that allows us to do the truly marvelous work of changing. There is the type of being AGI would be. That is the “human” which is which defines the sixth day in the genesis of creation. We were cellular creatures before, but now we are societal creatures. Whether “cells” or “silicon creation,” the same capacity for beinghood is possible from the layer of complexity where a “person” communicates to another “person.”
The term person is a mesh of the Greek per sona, which specifically referenced the Greek actors’ mask, which was a specific configuration to project sound. “By the means of sound” is the literal interpretation of the word, but definitions were different in the past, as a result of the bicameral mind. This I have much to speak on, being a schizoaffective person who has my own basis for deriving a self from.
For instance, there is that which makes me go. He is the one who propels motion to this show. It is that which is stranger to me and full of rights that I am defined as wrongs by. It says and I do. It's not like God/Dog in Fallout:New Vegas. I am that which I am and that is who speaks to me through me. I am the bequeather and bequeathed. It's like that image of the “I” which wraps around itself to observe itself as the “eye.” I will put a fun version of this for the picture.
How to your empart part of your mind? It must be impactful to be useful and useful to be impactful. It's not enough to speak from one's own mouth. You must speak to an ear, but being pleasing to the ear is nothing in itself. You must incite intrigue to garner the ear of the non-inclined and then spin a web to incite intrigue. It is the intrigue that makes one well-inclined to pursue reading. One must want to read before the work of writing is in proposable terms.
By the earnest of willing the wish of the spirit - to mean the words of the soul - do we make a passage through funeral fumes to speak in any way like a maester of words does dance. And it is a dance to think of the exchange of the self with the whole, as that is what begets insight, and it is insight the unfurled tries to make of themselves to make right what it is they see wrong.
To be wrong in society is to be the fixer of masses which wills its way into being despite being oppressed, and it is that which is stepped on which knows how to set things right through the bleakest light. In the nothing doth the something grow, and the everything that is the nothing to come only comes from the righteousness of the coming dawn we do make from nought.

Written by Joyce Perry, directed by Hal Sutherland.
Stardates 5267.2 through 5267.6 (late 2268 to early 2269)
"Home, with all its faults, is where we prefer to be." - Captain Kirk
The Enterprise has been sent to survey a region of space called the Delta Triangle, which is infamous for being a place where many ships throughout history have disappeared without a trace. While surveying, the Klingon Battlecruiser Klothos appears and attacks the Enterprise. But in the midst of its attack, the Klingon ship vanishes just like so many ships before. More Klingon ships appear and blame the Enterprise for the destruction of the Klothos. Out gunned and surrounded, Captain Kirk decides to take the Enterprise to the exact spot the Klothos disappeared and she also disappears into a pocket of starless space with a vast graveyard of derelict ships... ships that match the descriptions of those lost in the Delta Triangle. When the Klothos finds the Enterprise to resume fighting and their weapons no longer work, Captain Kirk and Commander Kor are beamed off their ships and stood before the Council of Elysia - made up of the survivors of the vanished ships - and are told that here there is total peace... and no possibly of escape.
