bela lugosi,

Oh, I'd forgotten that scene, that was great. Doesn't he say "Vulcans never bluff"?  The other great Spock moment is at the climax, when the transporter is failing.  Kirk is asking them to beam him aboard, and the thing keeps blowing circuits, and Scotty has to keep fixing it--and Spock just keeps making suggestions, sounding only slightly annoyed. "Mr. Scott....MISTER--SCOTT..."

This also has one of the very best scores for Trek, by Sol Kaplan. Has anyone who's seen this episode even once forgotten that music, which says "This thing is going to KILL YOU ALL!" The best cue is when Windom's shuttle goes into the machine. Doomy!
