(5,927 posts)Oh man, thank you for that full-throated guffaw I just experienced. Possibly the funniest Tom Tomorrow I have ever enjoyed. And THAT is saying a lot. And I say this knowing that it's not even original; something like this was done by Nimoy on LP some decades ago.
Once again, the brilliance of Gene Rodenberry (and of course Rod Serling) and just about all Speculative Fiction writers: using the future to critique the present.
Thank you.

(11,087 posts)and of the wrong skin color. The cops are gonna run out of ammunition shooting him.
"He's dead, Jim."
"You with the pointy ears! Is that some kind of recording device?"
"It's a tricorder."
"Turn that off. Turn it off or I will shoot you f*ckin' dead. I will shoot all of you."

Spock: They like you very much, but they are not the hell "your" whales.
Dr. Gillian Taylor: I suppose they told you that.
Spock: The hell they did.
