Star Trek (1966) 2.05

The Apple

A large team from the Enterprise (Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Chekov, Yeoman Martha Landon, and four security officers) beams down to investigate Gamma Trianguli VI. They quickly discover that despite looking quite beautiful, the flora of the planet can be quite deadly. A flower kills one of the security officers with poisonous darts. Spock accidentally discovers that some of the rocks can be explosive when he tosses a piece of one away after easily breaking it in half.

Scott contacts the away team and lets them know that some force on the planet has locked onto the Enterprise with a tractor beam like effect. The crew of the Enterprise is doing what they can to prevent the ship from being dragged down to the planet but the ship only has enough energy to keep resisting for about 16 hours. Two more of the security officers are killed, one by lighting and another by an exploding rock, while the team from the Enterprise explores the planet.

The Good Place 1.11

What's My Motivation

Eleanor tries to improve her score by doing nice things for people. Her plan doesn't really work out because she does what she does just so she can stay in the Good Place. Michael finds out from Jason that he isn't really Jianyu.

Michael starts to feel worse about the job he's doing. Jason and Janet decide to run away because Michael wants to keep them apart. Eleanor 2 tells Chidi that she loves him and he doesn't know how to respond. A judge shows up to decide Eleanor's fate. He arrives just in time for Janet, Jason, and Eleanor to steal his train.

Thoughts

This episode wasn't bad. It wasn't the best but there were a few good laughs. There were some flashbacks to Jason's past. I think I liked the Janet and Jason parts of the episode best.

A Guide to Optimizing Your Fate

Kang Dan-sim talks to Cha Se-gye in his office after the incident outside the building. She tells him about attempts on her own life and how she was able to foresee them.

When Dan-sim gets to Shin Seo-ri's home she meets Nam Ok-sun, Seo-ri's grandmother, who feeds her, tells her she needs to find a man, and tries to be encouraging before leaving.

Se-gye goes to a small family birthday gathering for Cha Dal-su, his grandfather. Cha Joo-ran and Cha Joo-mi (his aunts) and Mun-Do (cousin) are also present. He doesn't trust any of them. He knows that someone tried to kill him even if he doesn't know who it is that is out to get him.

Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl worry about the arrival of Peridot. They try to keep their worrying from Steven but in the end they level with him and tell him the truth.

Most of the previously seen residents of Beach City are in this episode but Connie and her parents are not.
