Amok Time

This Story: Season 2 Episode 1 (production code 2.5)
TOS Overall: Story 30, Episode 31
Trek Overall: Story 30, Episode 31
Airdate: 15 Sep 1967
Written by Theodore Sturgeon
Directed by Joseph Pevney

Notes

  • The first episode of Season 2.
  • The first (aired) episode with Walter Koenig as Pavel Chekov.
  • Many things relative to Vulcan culture originate here (the vulcan salute, pon farr, etc).
  • The remastered version of this episode uses elements for planet Vulcan that originated in the Animated Series.
  • T’Pring (Spock’s “wife”) is mostly a background character here, but the relationship between the two has been expanded on a LOT in episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

S2 starts with a banger. Spock has a problem, & can only go to Vulcan to fix it. We get the concept of pon farr here, where Vulcans have to mate once every seven years or they die. One of the better eps, and of the pic.twitter.com/WouyrFs0Cj

three season openers, the best of the lot. We also get the "live long & prosper" vulcan salute here - MUCH Vulcan culture comes from this one. Repeat viewings do not lessen the power of this episode. Top notch shit! pic.twitter.com/Iv4RHcwS7h

The first on screen appearance of Walter Koenig as Chekov.
Shouldn’t someone clean the wall?
