Shore Leave SEASON 1, EPISODE 15
Wiki Entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shore_L...iginal_Series)
This is an iconic episode - everyone remembers it - but it's just plain goofy. It feels like they had some stock footage, some costumes they had knocking around, and a spare tiger, and then worked out how to use these in a 50 minute episode. I'm sure it was more intelligent and detailed than that, but that's how it feels. So we have a knight, a samurai, Don Juan, a tiger, a white rabbit (+ Alice), a Japanese fighter plane, and some old Kirk flame who Kirk says hasn't aged a day in 15 years, but who plainly looks about 35...
Kirk also has a big fight with some Irish guy called Finnegan (who is so Irish, I was expecting him to pull out a packet of Lucky Charms to go along with the Irish jig music that constantly played whenever Finnegan spoke) and rips his shirt off, though not enough to see his corset.
Feels like pure fluff with a hokey ending, but... it isn't boring.
