7/10. Such a dumb, and yet hilarious episode.

3/10 just can't quite get the Star Trek quizzes. Try, try again.

9/10 At the end, Kirk tells Scottie he has a little surprise for him. Or he's bringing back a little surprise.

9/10. Not an episode I cared for except for seeing the terrific Michael Dunne as a guest star.
Plus Liam Sullivan (Dragnet's Brother William) and Barbara Babcock when she was still an icy sex symbol.

8/10. Any choice on ques. #6 could have fit. This was a great episode in that it showed the variety of acting skills that Kirk & Spock had. To have Spock sing that song and being forced into fits of uncontrolled laughter by Parmen. And Kirk playing horsey with Alexander and neighing like a horse.
And now, let's all do the dance/chant:
I'm Tweedle-dee, he's Tweedle-dum,
Two spacemen marching to a drum.
We slithe among the mimsy toves,
and gyre among the borogroves."

Come to think of it, did these guys have something in common with Apollo in that other episode? Probably knew each other.

8/10 pretty good episode, with some silliness thrown in. Wasn't there three episodes with the Greek/Roman thing was the theme?

Alexander was played by Michael Dunn, a very talented, and intelligent, LP (Little Person) actor.

8/10
Alexander was played by Michael Dunn. I remember him as Dr Loveless on Wild Wild West, sitting at the piano singing happy tunes with his assistant Antoinette while Jim West was chained to a wall behind them waiting to be executed. Very surreal

They sang Sloop John B.
In real life those two sang together in night clubs and performed at Hollywood parties.
That's how "Lenny" and "Squiggy" got noticed, performing their idiot act at important
Hollywood parties. 9/10
