Perhaps simple play is a calming distraction from complex thought.
Shore Leave
is certainly a model of the kinds of stories Star Trek should be telling.
Last night I watched "Sacred Ground", a
Voyager
episode I hadn't seen. * It, too, is a good example of the story in which the UFP people are forced to learn a lesson, rather than imposing their values on others. And in an odd
Gunsmoke
coincidence, Parley Baer had an important role.
*
Voyager
was a generally disappointing series, though it had at least one superlative episode, "Death Wish". -

The exterior scenes were shot in Vasquez Rocks Natural Park and Africa USA.
A trivia note, Perry Lopez who played Rodriguez in this episode also played Lt. Escobar in the movie Chinatown.
When I was a kid I use to get so mad at Finnegan, I hated the way he treated Kirk. Now I get upset with Kirk the way Finnegan punks him out. You can't kick his ass, but you can whoop on Khan and a Gorn.
Spenser with an "S", like the poet. -

At least to start with, anyway. Eventually Kirk "had to" beat him, but if it had happened too soon, it wouldn't have been as enjoyable.
Of course, Finnegan was never a real person, and certainly not THE real person, who would also have been much older, as was Kirk. -

How would he have memories of being dead? He was killed instantly.gg

Obviously Dr. McCoy was killed after being pierced in the heart by the knight so why didn't he report what it felt like to die before he was supposedly repaired?
McCoy wasn't repaired. He was dead too long. He was simply replaced with one of the planet's androids, and for the rest of the series, that's McCoy 2.0.
