36. According to Nicholas Meyer
In the director's commentary in the special edition DVD, Nicholas Meyer is quoted as saying that it was, in fact, Montalban's actual chest and that he was a very muscular man who worked out.

23. That's one of the TOS eps I can still enjoy watching.
Most of 'em have too much cheese even for me. That's a good one, though--even the sappy love subplot is handled relatively well.

22. I have a soft spot for the one that killed off Tasha Yar. The goop thing.
The monster who brought her back as her own identical half-Romulan daughter (the half that really couldn't act), however--that's a monster that out-Khans Khan.

40. Read if you dare...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasha_Yar

Wiki only hints at the horror of the daughter Sela, who smells up the otherwise nifty "Reunification" eps with Spock.

27. He was just a bad boy. Like Trelane, the Squire of Gothos.
Another favorite. And count Trelane in as a member of the Q continuum.

32. The planet-killer.
Because each time you see it in the viewscreen, it's moved back since you last looked. Sneaky bastard, and fast for something that size.

38. TRIBBLES -- The closest thing to kudzu on Star Trek
But aren't tribbles too cute to be villains? That's the whole point.

They are going places and taking over.

They are in the grand tradition of kudzu -- an invasive alien species.

49. The silicon-based being! "No kill I!"
can't remember if it had a name, and it wasn't really a villianous creature, but the idea was fun.
and they took mercy upon it.
