I went to "Juno and Avos" (rock-opera) yesterday and now I have a thought that the lines from it fit into the ending of "The Gamesters of Triskelion".
"I will never see you again"
"I will never forget you"
("Я тебя никогда не увижу", "Я тебя никогда не забуду")
It's basically how it ended in that episode between Kirk and Shahna.
Also actually, I felt it then, while watching it, and I still feel that she's so relatable at that moment in particular. I probably would feel all the same.
Yeah, I remember her because of longing that she'd probably going to have. Also I just feel sorry for her, she could potentially learn and go to space for real. But we do remember the Prime directive sometimes, eh
That doesn't mean that she wouldn't be left in the end if that happened, but she wouldn't feel that abandoned either maybe. With the connection to the stars. It's hard to say for sure though, alright. But it may be.
If Kirk doesn’t want to, can I marry her instead?

Season 2 of ST:TOS has been fantastic, and by that I mean that there are some iconic and super fun episodes sprinkled in with some super weird ones. But that's TOS.
Anyway, I just watched The Gamesters of Triskelion yesterday , and for the most part I would have to put it more in the super weird category. The costume design was, um, interesting, as was Kirk's initial method of taking down the system, but I digress.
For most of the episode, I was rolling my eyes at or gagging at scenes involving Shahna, Jim's drill thrall (not because of her, because of Jim)
She felt like a hapless... Creature for most of the episode, reminding me of the villagers from The Apple more than anything, especially in Kirk's approach to reasoning with her.
But the end of the episode kind of saves the entire thing for me. She looks up with hope and longing, not necessarily for Jim, but for freedom, even more than she has just been granted. She is full of wonder that she has been deprived of her entire life, and the first thing she wants to do after being released from her servitude is not any simple freedom. She wants to rocket forward through eons of societal and scientific advancement so she can go to the stars.
That made me love her a lot actually, and now I want nothing more than to see her actually in Starfleet. Does anyone else think about this or am I just crazy?
Angelique Pettyjohn Would Be 80 Today
A celebration today of burlesque dancer and actress Angelique Pettyjohn (Dorothy Lee Perrins, 1943-1992). Most of Angelique’s screen roles echoed her live performing career as an exotic dancer, though she was cast in mainstream entertainment as well as low-budget exploitation films. She is perhaps most widely remembered for her appearance in the 1968 Star Trek episode “The Gamesters of…
