I know Star Trek TOS operated on a very limited budget. However, the monster (the Mugato) in the season 2 episode "A Private Little War" has to be the most ridiculous creation in any SciFi production.Unless you know differently...#StarTrek #SciFi

@hhardy01 Yes, indeed. The Robot Monster is probably unbeatable, and I have mentioned it before:https://mstdn.io/@fitheach/106058017184524738However, I'm currently watching all the TOS episodes, and the Mugato just "jumped" out at me. 😃

@Midder Yeah, when I was doing an image search for the Mugato, I encountered the Mugatu, too. The reference is meaningless for me.

@hhardy01 @fitheach I see your Robot Monster and I raise you... THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Horror_of_Party_Beach"The film, described as "a take-off on beach parties and musicals," is considered to be one of the worst films of all time."You are welcome.

@ParadeGrotesque What a superb monster. Looks like it has just eaten all the beach barbecue sausages. 😃 @hhardy01

Kirk, and for that matter the Star Trek TOS episode, is saved by Nona, portrayed by Nancy Kovack.See, I told you everyone in "space" was beautiful.

@jamesrichardson I bought the whole TOS series on DVD. Although (continual) re-runs were on TV when I was a kid, there are many episodes I've never seen, including this one.Watching them all gives me a better feeling of the creation process, and the social commentary.

@cinebox The cute wee dog in the episode called "The Enemy Within"? That dog had an evil "transporter" twin, just like Kirk. That was an excellent "monster", and it was a great episode. Sure, the special effects could have been more special. 😃

@fitheach "...I talked to several people that I knew who had robot suits, but it was just out of the way, money-wise. I thought, ‘Okay, I know George Barrows.’... When they needed a gorilla in a picture they called George, because he owned his own suit... I thought, ‘I know George will work for me for nothing. I’ll get a diving helmet, put it on him, and it’ll work!’"

@fitheach Great One : Earth Ro-Man, you violate the laws of plans. To think for yourself is to be like the hu-man.Ro-Man : Yes! To be like the hu-man! To laugh! Feel! Want! Why are these things not in the plan?Great One : You are an extension of the Ro-Man, and a Ro-Man you will remain. Now, I set you into motion. One: destroy the girl. Two: destroy the family. Fail, and I will destroy you!

@fitheach Great One : [his last line, when "Extension XJ-2" can't bring himself to kill Alice] You wish to be a human? Good. You can DIE like a human![Takes out XJ-2 with another Cosmic Blast, then...] Great One : Human elements still roam Planet Earth! I, the ruler of the Ro-Men, shall send our Cosmic J-Rays... from which will spring prehistoric reptiles to devour whatever remains of life! Next, Psychotronic vibrations will smash the Planet Earth out of the universe!

@fitheach MemoryAlpha has a lot of cool background information about that scene. The writers had some really lofty goals but turns out doing anything with animals in a TV show is *really* expensive

@fitheach Given that Ro-men Robot Monsters already destroyed almost all the humans with Cosmic Blasts, and then devoured the rest with Cosmic J-Ray created prehistoric reptile stock footage, it seems a might excessive to then use the Psychotronic Vibrations?But, Rule of Cool.
