Re: What Did You Watch? 2025-07-03 (Wednesday)

I ended up watching ST:TOS.

One was "The Apple." That's the one where there's a super-dangerous
planet with one village which is a safe paradise, protected by a machine
the villagers serve as a god. The Enterprise is stuck, and they decide
the only way to proceed is to destroy the natives' god and thus their
entire way of life.

Afterwards, Kirk tells the natives that now they get to know the full
joy of life on their hyperdangerous planet. Oh, bliss! He seems
unconcerned about murdering the Prime Directive, but I guess there
wasn't much left of it anyway.
