What Changes Would You Have For "The Alternative Factor"?

Fun drinking game episode. Drink everytime Lazarus switches to other Lazarus.

Also, everytime Kirk talks to the african-american "blue skirt" woman (Masterson?) yell out "Where's Scotty?!"

So, try to drink to a) a confusing line of events so you're not always sure when to do it and b) wait for something that never happens to happen.

Not a lot of cans downed that way, I'd wager.

Just drink when that space shot is imposed over the screen when Lazarus flakes out. Or just get drunk because that's the best way to enjoy this episode.

The second idea is more of interactive participation*, like Rocky Horror Picture Show.

*Talking to the t.v. like an idiot.

A little late now, unless it is rerun.

I'd be trying to get drunk...not lapse into a permanent COMA.

So you get to kick back and relax knowing you won't have to quash lots of huge vitriolic flamewars for a few days.

I'd have Kirk say "And what of Lazarus?" a few more times...and also have him say it randomly in other episodes for no good reason. Can't get enough of that.

Bonz will have to do that. I'll be drinking right along with the rest of you guys.

Aw, I like the show. Except for not being able to differentiate between the two Lazari.

I love that part. It makes the whole thing more confusing. And I like that it's confusing. And I like Kirk's thoughtful final note, reflecting on an eternal cosmic struggle enjoined by two beings, one who has sacrificed himself to an immortality of torment to save the dynaverse.

I hate this episode.

I always thought it had more to due with it being my "episode that was always on when I tuned to Trek and wanted to see someting else, like Doomsday Machine..."

Anyway, after further review, the play stands, I hate this episode.

No, that would be "Whom Gods Destroy". I've shut that episode off in the first 10 seconds more than any other.

I usually hang around until Marta (Yvonne Craig) has played most of her scenes.

(Except for her demise. I mean, how can anyone blow up such a fine piece of @$$?!)

Oops! Did I just write that?!

But seriously. Flawed or not, it was a good show. The ending was very powerful. That actually describes more than one TOS show.

But what of Lazarus?

Oh, I thought of another -- take a swill every time Lazarus tells the crew they have to Kill! KILL! KIIIILLLLL!!!!! the monster.
