It didn’t get to the part where you fashion a crude firearm out of locally available materials! This whole video was “how to lose against a slow moving lizard.”

“So Gene, what do you have for us this week”."
“Well, I was reading a short story by Frederick Brown about a human and a an alien who are chosen by a higher power as the representatives of their races: whichever loses, his entire species gets wiped out, so that the universe doesn’t lose both civilizations in a crippling war. They’re both stuck in a barren waste.”
“That could be good. What’s the alien?”
“A large bouncy ball with spikey jellyfish tentacles.”
“I heard ‘man in a rubber suit’. Write it up.”

I’m thinking it was pretty common in action shows back then. I seem to recall it appearing other places anyway, but I’m old and slower than that sleestak Shatner is fighting, and not all my brain cells fire in unison any more, so I could be misremembering.

Bobby Clark was told to lumber: big and strong, but not impossible to flee from (which is what Kirk does most of the episode).

It looks like a combo of Pilates, yoga, and Shiatsu massage.

Oh hey! I read that a long, long time ago. I think about it a couple times a year, and I can never decide if to my adult self it is endearing or ridiculous. Looks like it’s called Arena. I read it again sometime.

Don’t try that with a Trandoshan.
Remember, when contracting with Trandoshans be sure to stipulate NO DISINTEGRATIONS.
