Doctor McCoy: I'm glad to see him under guard, Jim. If he'd turned into a second Spock, it would have been too much to take.
Mr. Spock: Perhaps. But then two Dr. McCoys just might bring the level of medical efficiency on this ship up to acceptable levels.

The whole series had a hard time depicting women. A lot of that comes down to the limits of voice-acting for actors who are not necessarily voice actors. Even Jimmy Doohan wasn't everything he could be, but that may be an observation from someone who heard him for years doing one particular character with a distinctive accent.
ReplyDeleteLieutenant Anne Nored really has the sweetest voice voiced by Nichelle Nichols.
ReplyDeleteCurse you, shape shifters! Oh, the havoc you cause our worlds!!
ReplyDeleteShe's truly a terrible security officer. Even when she knows it's not the real Winston, she is unable to apprehend him. The phaser does have a stun setting, right?
ReplyDeleteLove conquers all even with aliens. There were some good zingers in that episode and it's one of my favorites (review up now). http://bit.ly/1FsshWJ
