Shakespeare quote

The article says, "Miranda and the Medusan (in Spock's body) briefly quote Shakespeare's The Tempest." but it doesn't identify where in the play the quote may be found.

The relevant part of the script seems to be:

http://www.voyager.cz/tos/epizody/63truthnobeautytrans.htm

Ah, Miranda.

There you are.

O brave new world, that has such creatures in it.

'Tis new to thee.

The corresponding part from The Tempest seems to be:

http://www.readprint.com/chapter-8429/William-Shakespeare

Act 5, Scene I

MIRANDA

O, wonder!

How many goodly creatures are there here!

How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,

That has such people in't!

PROSPERO

'Tis new to thee.

I felt the generic Enterprise in space image wasn't as good as we could try for with a free image, so I put up something more unique to the episode. I felt that it better suited the fair use rationale to have something that added to our understanding of the plot.

Interesting Point

Towards the end of the episode, Captain Kirk is seen in the transporter room without wearing a visor. If Kollos appearance could cause humans to go insane, why did Captain Kirk not go insane? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.33.65 (talk) 20:06, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As Kollos stays within the box, the visor is merely a "health and safety" precaution, which the Captain overrides. --Norman21 (talk) 07:26, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No -- it's an episode goof. At the beginning of the episode, Kirk clears the transporter room and Spock wears the visor...just in case a partial image of the Medusan is visible during transport (after all, he is an energy creature). But at the end, during transport, Spock wears the visor and Kirk is still in the room during transport. Unless the viewer assumes that Kirk turned his back or briefly left the room -- it is a continuity goof. Chesspride 172.164.128.202 (talk) 17:43, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Revisions have eroded the quality of this article

Over fifty edits ago, stylistic editing choices culled most of the actual information, and replaced it synonyms which do not fit the actual plot. To top it off, the quote, with the alien and Cpt. JT is butchered, bloody badly.

I suggest a Trekkie goes back to the page prior to 2018/2017 when it had the original quote, and had the relevant information regarding strategic merchandise placement in the conversation with Spock over dinner.

Seriously, who thinks the can rewrite JT's farewell lines to alien damsels? Wikipedia editors, you ain't no Cyrano de Bergerac! 49.185.98.83 (talk) 18:40, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
