I dunno if it’s intelligence, but that’s exactly how my head feels right now.

I distinctly remember seeing players wearing them (and elbow pads and visors and mouth guards) in the present day. It’s just optional equipment now.

Bring back referees wearing bowlers.

Don’t have to hide something that never existed in the first place.

Per Memory-Alpha:

It was the intent of the filmmakers, and a widely accepted fact in Star Trek apocrypha, that this wife was Marla McGivers from the original "Space Seed" episode; however, while this was in the original script, it was never confirmed on-screen.

One of those men (Ricardo Montalban) is unintentionally awakened.

"She was right, but at the wrong time." - Commander Spock

The Enterprise is being rocked by waves of temporal displacement emanating from a planet when Doctor McCoy accidentally injects himself with a dangerous stimulant. He goes mad and runs amok through the ship, ultimately beaming down to the planet right in the middle of a very large displacement wave. Captain Kirk, Commander Spock, and several others follow him down to the planet and discover a sentient gateway through time that offers them a chance to travel to any point in their past. McCoy sneaks past them while they are distracted and leaps through the portal to Earth's 20th century. The Enterprise vanishes and the gateway informs them that their entire Federation has never existed because of something McCoy did in the past. Kirk and Spock are left with no other choice but leap as closely to where McCoy went in the hopes of undoing the damage.

"You're as much a prisoner in time as I am." - Captain John Christopher

An American Air Force base in Omaha scrambles fighters to intercept a UFO that suddenly appeared hovering in the skies overhead. It's the Enterprise. A dark star caused the ship to slingshot backwards through time to 1960s Earth. While the damage to the Enterprise is light and can be easily repaired, one of the fighters makes visual contact with the Enterprise. Captain Kirk orders the fighter to be held in a tractor beam, which causes the fragile aircraft to break apart. Kirk has no choice but to beam its pilot; Captain John Christopher (Roger Perry) aboard and try to explain things to him. In addition to figuring out how to get back to the 23rd Century, the problem now includes how to get Captain Christopher back to Earth and erasing all records of the Enterprise's presence without contaminating the timeline any further than it already has been.

"He could not live knowing that I lived. He became obsessed with the idea of destroying me." - Lazarus

The Enterprise is surveying a planet when the ship is suddenly rocked by multiple shockwaves. Commander Spock's instruments suggest the impossible - the planet and the ship blinked out of existence for a split second. Enterprise then receives an alarming message from Starfleet; The phenomenon occurred across the entire known universe, and was centered on the planet they are orbiting. Starfleet Command thinks this could be prelude to an invasion by an unknown force and all nearby starships have been ordered to escape the area... leaving the Enterprise all alone to act as bait.

Why does a US fast-food burger have double the ingredients of the exact same burger in the UK? The answer isn't just a difference in recipes—it's a calculated business strategy.

In this video, we break down the 1958 FDA "GRAS" loophole that allows corporations to self-approve thousands of food chemicals with zero government oversight. We also pull back the curtain on the $40 billion shadow industry of flavor engineering, exploring how companies calculate your exact "bliss point" to keep you craving ultra-processed foods.
