1.04 The Naked Time

Lovely opening shot. I do love how sympathtic to the originals the spruced up effects shots are.

Spock and Random beam down to an ice planet. Looks like Hoth. 


Spock and Random wear what look like radiation suits but maybe that gold threaded pattern of circles throughout the material is a metallic heater element, so they're thermal suits? 


Random very cleverly takes his glove off and what looks like a bloodstain creeps towards him and touches his hand. 


He's a gonner then. 


Life support systems had actually been turned off deliberately, probably not by the guy fully clothed in the shower, or the mannequin on the floor. 


Spock & Random get looked over by Bones. Spock wins "black T-Shirt wearer of the away party". Awkward. 


Bones gives it the usual casual racism, while Random looks to be suffering cold turkey sweats and itches.

Bones rules out drugs as the cause. I dunno, Bones, Random looks like a junkie to me. 


Scotty couldn't give a toss as long as it doesn't affect his engines. 


Random has sweaty palms in the canteen; Sulu & young Roddy McDowell lookalike flirt about crossing swords. 


Joey Random has a bit of an episode with a butter knife, so Sulu & young Roddy have to wrestle him. 


Young Roddy McDowell has the sweaty palms now, Joey Random has a smear of pink blood on his shirt. 


Bones operates on Joey Random, while the boss's wife looks on. No pressure, Bones. (Nurse Chappell is played by Majel Barrett AKA Mrs. Roddenberry). 


Joey Random just gives up living. Okay, who had 15 minutes in the '1st death' sweepstake?

Bones looks pretty narked that she nicked his line there!

O'Reilly goes proper stereotypical Irishman. 


Sulu gets his sword out and bothers some workmen in the corridor. 


Kirk suspects Reilly is shitfaced. Is it cos he is Irish? What a racist. 


Love Spock's scientific diagnosis that Sulu is "at heart a swashbuckler out of your 18 century". 

Sulu thinks Kirk is Richelieu. He looks naff all like Peter Capaldi. 


Sulu tries to "rescue" Uhura, so Spock gives him the old nerve pinch. 


Reilly promotes himself to Captain and orders double ice cream all round. Then the singing starts. Oh god, the singing. Phasers to kill. NOW. 


Scotty needs to regain control of the ship before they crash. 


More of the crew have caught pissed-itis, with one turning into a cut price Banksy & another a stalking serenader. 


Looks like Mrs. Boss has caught it to. Watch out, Spock! 


Kirk & Uhura get ratty with each other, they're slowly going mad with Reilly's singing.

Mrs. Boss declares her love for Spock & passes on the lurgy. 


Spock breaks down in tears because he can't remember his times tables. 



Reilly's turned the engines completely off; it'll take the engines 30 minutes to regenerate. That's bloody rubbish. 


"I cannae change the laws of physics!" Good lad, Scotty, you can finish early for the day.

Bones has found the cure, but can't get any useful help to make more of the serum. 


Spock starts whinging about his mum, so Kirk gives him a slap. 


Spock tells him he's ashamed of his feelings of friendship for Jim. Steady on. 


Kirk decides they just have to try jump-starting the engines. 


Having got the engines going, and more importantly, torn his shirt, Kirk manages to drink drive their way to safety. 


Yep, seems that in trying the never-attempted-before jump-leads on the warp drive, Kirk invents time travel then says "we might use it one day," and just moves on, like he can't be arsed with it. And that's all, folks! 


TTFN! K.
Coming Soon... The Enemy Within
