Star Trek: The Original Series/Recap/S2/E05 The Apple: Difference between revisions

* [[Adam and Eve Plot]]: Since it's scientifically unfeasible to believe that an entire race could grow from only two people, we're given a mid sized village. Still, it's the same plot and the Biblical story is alluded to.

* [[AI Is a Crapshoot|AI Is Still A Crap Shoot]]: This one has a bad case of [[A God Am I]].

* [[Angst]]: Poor Kirk is having a bad day. He's torn between following Starfleet's orders and doing what he feels is right. The [[Red Shirt]] [[Survivors Guilt|body count]] is 4 by the episode's end. Spock nearly got himself killed twice. Spock and Bones are arguing...again. And as if that wasn't bad enough, an AI gone mad is trying to destroy his ship. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Oh, and the cute blonde seems to like Chekov more than him.]]

* [[Anger Born of Worry]]: Kirk scolds Spock for putting himself in danger. He tries to make it sound like Spock is just too valuable to Starfleet to lose, but his quiet "Thanks" reveals his true feelings. Kirk, you [[Tsundere]], you!

* [[George Jetson Job Security]]: Kirk tells Scotty his job is on the line when he tells him to get the ''Enterprise'' away from the planet. When he fails, Kirk fires him. Considering Scotty's life was also on the line, its a moot point. Scotty is rehired when he destroys Vaal with focused ship's phaser fire.

* [[Girl of the Week]]: We've never heard of Martha Landon before and never will again, but Pavel is head over heels for her!

* [[Heroic RROD]]: Vaal destroys itself in trying to reinforce its own energy field when fired on by the ''Enterprise''.The "Heroic" part is debatable as Vaal was only defending itself.

* [[Made of Explodium]]: The rocks on this planet. (Possibly just Vaal trying to keep out any threats to its existence.)

* [[Over-the-Shoulder Carry]]: How Kirk moves Spock after he gets struck by lightning.
