Dr. McCoy commented that he was a doctor, and not of some other profession unrelated to medicine. Mr. Spock failed to grasp the logic of the situation. Awesome. Great episode, great reimagining.

I was hoping it would be dun in verse ala Ghastlycrumb Tinies but that's probably too much to ask. It's good anyway, even for someone like me with only a passing knowledge of Star Trek episodes.

"Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo" This is great, although the faces weren't quite Goreyesque.

I think Gorey himself would be amused.

The lolcats one was funnier. The Gorey one should have been in verse.

This is one of those things where simply that it was done at all is good enough.

For those of you unfamiliar with the creator of this inspired bit of pop-culture collision, Shaenon Garrity is the cartoonist of the wonderful-but-now-completed webcomic Narbonic, and writes the wonderful-and-still-ongoing webcomic Smithson. She rocks in several different ways.

"It's dead, Jim," said Bones, with revulsion "Betrayed by its feeding compulsion. Some poisonous grain Infected its brain And it died in exquisite convulsions."

The best "It's dead Jim" limerick was not written by yours truly, but here it is: "It's dead, Jim" said Dr. McCoy. "Allergic to Earth jizz, my boy. You see how its butt Is swollen tight shut? Don latex before you deploy!"

If you liked the episode, or like ST in general, then this book, is a great resource. It was written by David Gerrold, who wrote the script for TTWT. Interesting behind the scenes look at ST, pictures, and a "how to write for TV" primer.

Yay, Wolfdog, back to County Limerick! Uhura just loves her pet furry, But a tribble's soon trebled, yes siree. Unless they're aborted — Or otherwise thwarted — Enterprise'll have a new dhurrie.

I once wrote a minimalist Star Trek play which simply consisted of Jim, Spock and Bones saying 'Jim', 'Spock' and 'Bones' at one another as though they were trapped on an alien world and that's all they were able to say. Heartrending stuff obviously at the end when Spock finally says 'Bones' for the first and only time under the realisation that they'd never get out of the predicament and wanting to show his admiration for his friend the medic.
