That "The party don't start until I arrive" live, with Kirk swaggering through the door and grinning?
It sums up the awesomeness of the original series. posted by Astro Zombie at 8:48 AM on June 21, 2010
Cute. Makes the Enterprise seem like a lot of fun. posted by sadiehawkinstein at 8:52 AM on June 21, 2010
The original show's plots make much more sense if you assume everyone was crunked up and or hung over all the time. posted by The Whelk at 8:53 AM on June 21, 2010 [3 favorites]

Nice! Some clips from "I, Mudd" in there!

Man, it seems like Star Trek TOS doesn't need new special effects. The old effects were part of the charm. What it needs is better editing for pacing, so that it watches more like a modern drama. Where's the Audience's Cut of Star Trek that doesn't have the awkward 15 second reaction shots? posted by mccarty.tim at 9:53 AM on June 21, 2010
I liked it. Good editing matches the music nicely. posted by ZeusHumms at 10:18 AM on June 21, 2010
The long reaction shots are necessary to fully appreciate the seductive and sly look that the bar of light eye highlights give Kirk. posted by Babblesort at 10:22 AM on June 21, 2010 [1 favorite]

Can't stand the song, but this was awesome. :) posted by zarq at 11:36 AM on June 21, 2010
Oh Metafilter, there are times when I hate you. Not for what you do, but for what you lead me to do to myself. You enabler, you...
Maybe, but a Princess Superstar video mix would probably blow all of them away. posted by P.o.B. at 11:59 AM on June 21, 2010
Can't stand the music without the delightful video but..
I like to think this is what DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, and Majel Barrett are doing all the time wherever they are. posted by pyrex at 12:01 PM on June 21, 2010
It warms my heart to see that parodies of Tik Tok (like this other one) have racked up more views than the real thing. posted by Western Infidels at 12:35 PM on June 21, 2010

Holy shit, that was brilliant. I also really enjoyed Monster and Common People. That look at :38 in the latter...priceless. posted by adamdschneider at 5:49 PM on June 21, 2010
