Say what? The guest star, Robert Brown, just annoyed the hell out of me with that damn awful beard! However, the execution of this story and the faulty pace of this episode is rather deplorable. Here are mine, I don't think they will change if I re-watch them soon, these are based on my memories that go back several years, as a male viewer. Robert Brown was born on November 17, 1926 in Trenton, New Jersey, USA as Robin Adair MacKenzie Brown. Robert Brown does a fair job of performing the rather maniacal Lazarus -an interesting biblical allusion, but a bit difficult to interpret the meaning given the character. Almost comical in a way, because if you pay attention, you'll see stuff like Lazarus' whiskers and beard change in texture and fullness over the course of the story. Um, why would contact between a single matter object (in this case, the 'evil' Lazarus from the positive universe) with a single antimatter object (in this case, the 'good' Lazarus from the parallel, negative universe) result in the destruction of two universes (or even one)? "Boy Trapped in Refrigerator Eats Own Foot". OK now it's plot hole time, why couldn't they just phaser the time machine so that neither one could get through? Summary from Gilda F: "A tragedy in an alternate universe, and the animosity it creates between that Kirk and Spock, threatens the bond shared by them in this universe.". I thought it was interesting that when interviewed not long ago, Brown described Leonard Nimoy as "morose"on the set. Maybe it's the 23rd century equivalent of 'freaking out.' Yeah, yeah, it could have been Lazarus Two, but not if you keep tabs on Lazarus One. Classic_Colin, May 30, 2017 #18. mlbach likes this.

The Alternative Factor By Michelle Erica Green Posted at November 25, 2005 - 9:40 PM GMT. But the sentiment behind it is very much appreciated (although it was already being "covered" by Nichelle Nichols - still never too much of a good thing). Her role does however seem almost as if it were inserted by the producers as an afterthought. Here are some of our picks to get you in the spirit. And as for “The Alternative Factor” unless they really screwed it bad in the end, then this is a rather interesting episode. In so many ways, this episode looked either like a "throw away" episode or perhaps one that had been written and re-written again and again and just wasn't perfected. So, similar to the Angels and Demons movie, antimatter may not blow up all at once. Just yucky all around. Kirk LOVES to leave him unattended for maximum crazy times! Yes, Lazarus is one of the most irritating characters, always falling off cliffs to move the story (such as it is) along. They offer a variety of financial products with more favorable terms than a traditional factor or bank. The storyline for "The Alternative Factor" is a great concept – the possibility of a negative parallel universe and a madman whose insane actions could lead to the destruction of EVERYTHING. Just make sure you have the nice Lazarus on your dimension, lol. Brandell's Favorites, Robert Brown, Marty Allen, Darren McGavin and Kathie Browne, Guest host: Alan Hamel; guests: Karen Morrow, Jean Shrimpton, Robert Brown, Guido Basso, Charlie Manna, Walter Sullivan, Peter Max. Memorable scenarios, intriguing plot and good performance. 1:00m Star Trek History: Journey to Babel. Leaving the producers high and dry until they scraped up an unknown by the name of Robert Brown. LOL. I mean this episode just had to be the most boring of the season and as other reviewers have intimated, it really belonged in the weaker third season when the Original Series was dancing with the Grim Reaper and awaiting the inevitable axe. In standard orbit around an iron-silica-type uncharted planet, the USS Enterprise prepares to complete its survey, when the starship is violently rocked twice and everything within sensor range suddenly \"blinks\", almost as if the universe is on the verge of ceasing to exist. The cinematography and the script impose limitations that inhibit dramatic development. Anyway, the episode meanders along, and between the spinning corridor scenes and Lazarus falling off a cliff here and there, we finally get to the heart of the matter. A hole between two universes? Probably the worst was the cheesy and fake matter/anti- matter special effects, which looked terrible. The Alternate Factor is a K/S slash 66-page novel by Jenny Elson published in the UK. No, 'The Alternative Factor' is not a top-tier Star Trek TOS episode, but it does have a number of merits, especially if my thematic interpretation of the episode is at least somewhat accurate. Now THAT'S bad!! It's not interesting, nothing happens in it. The art by J.D. The 'good' greatly outnumbered the 'bad' in the first season of 'Star Trek,' in terms of episode quality.

When Kirk finds out, naturally being a bit perturbed, he asks McCoy where Lazarus went. 1:05 > Editor's Picks. A corridor with explosions at both ends? But by the end of episode, you really don't care anymore. The forthcoming book promised to reveal, "the surprising and dramatic story of how Season One’s most criticized episode, The Alternative Factor went awry and became a jumbled mess." Everything disappears for a few milliseconds before returning and the Enterprise must figure out why this is happening. I watched Star Trek TOS everyday after elementary school in the 1970's, so much so that after a few years I had managed to see every episode but two. It's a refreshing bit of hard science fiction with a wonderful mystery setup. There's also confusion on whether Kirk is dealing with a time traveler here or hopping to parallel dimensions (better realized in "Mirror,Mirror" early in the 2nd season). In fact, unless you are a huge Trekkie, it isn't worth your time. Season 1, episode 27. This is like the Leidenfrost layer that forms if a drop of water is sprinkled on a hot skillet - it dances around. Those repeated spinning starfields and stuntmen fighting in dry-ice fog just scream "padding." It was obviously extremely rushed in production and probably in writing as well. Mostly incoherent, but a hauntingly memorable ending, A Third-Season episode that ran in the First, Ambitious and interesting idea.... weakly executed, One of the crappiest episodes--even die-hard Trekkies must admit this one was a disappointment. Of course, it is possible that the rate of interaction is great enough that for all intents and purposes, it looks like a big explosion. The Alternative Factor, Obsession, and Is There No Truth In Beauty. It soon becomes clear that there are two of these Lazaruses from parallel dimensions. Robin Adair MacKenzie Brown (born 17 November 1926; age 94), known as Robert Brown, is an actor who appearanced as both Lazarus-A and Lazarus-B in the Star Trek: The Original Series first season episode "The Alternative Factor". It is the first Star Trek episode to deal with a parallel universe. Plus, despite all the cheesy over-acting by Lazarus, the pay-off just isn't worth waiting for at all! Oh well the other Lazarus seemed like a good guy to go drinking with at a Klingon bar, right? He had the same effect on me as the equally annoying Diana Muldaur who showed up on Star Trek too often: OH NO!! Nobody really knows what would happen if a lump of antimatter and matter come together - tiny particles, yes, big lumps, no.

Starfleet noticed it as well and contacted the Enterprise to tell them it's up to them to find out what is going on all alone because they are ordering all other ships out of the area. By far the weakest episode of Season One. But you know, even a great series like Star Trek will have it's clunkers, and this would be one of them. Written by Don Ingalls and directed by Gerd Oswald, it first aired on March 30, 1967.. It has been speculated that a fuzzy interaction zone would form, keeping the two sides apart. Robert Brown, Actor: Star Trek. For a better alternative, look no further than a cash advance company, like Financing Solutions (www.financingsolutionsnow.com). He was hired as a last-minute replacement for actor John Drew Barrymore, who had been cast in the role but didn't show up on the first day of shooting. This riveting premise unfortunately boils down to several encounters with Lazarus, a young man who keeps habitually falling off cliffs in Vasquez Rocks. There is no way Capt Kirk will let to wander alone this Lazarus character but then, wham! During those moments when the world is spinning around, I have to laugh because they look like those old "newspapers spinning towards the camera" shots showing a series of headlines, e.g. In "The Alternative Factor", the Enterprise discovers a strange blip in the universe. But there are several aspects of this episode that really bother me, and IMHO, "The Alternative Factor" is the worst first-season episode. A parallel anti-matter universe threatens to collide with our own, destroying everything everywhere. They are near the nucleus of the indicated location and discover a crazed man on an empty planet claiming that his nemesis has came to destroy our galaxy. With Financing Solutions, your clients still continue to pay their bills to you, not the factor. This one was neither. In fact, one could argue that the only out-and-out stinker in that opening set of shows is 'The Alternative Factor,' which is confusing to the point of being incomprehensible at times. Uggh! The storyline could have made, with the proper treatment, a very good episode but, damn, it really sucks. Lazarus Blinks and the Universe Disappears, Weird Goatee Beard Changes - Thicker Then Thinner, Only the explanation in the last 5 minutes is interesting, but by then it's too late. Enterprise experiences a moment of "nonexistence." At the right temperature, several hundred degrees, steam insulates the water drop and it lasts much longer than at a higher or lower temperature. In the episode, the childish but powerful ruler of the planet Gothos captures the crew of the Enterprise for his own amusement. I sat through this for 50 minutes of my life I will never get back , thinking it would soon get at least a little better, however it never did. Movies. This is not the best Trek Episodes but the reviewers here are citing "Charlie X", "Wink Of An Eye", "Spectre Of The Gun" and "Spock's Brain" as bad episodes. Lady of the House/Mrs. Enterprise experiences a moment of "nonexistence." The acting by Robert Brown as the mad (matter) Lazarus was over the top by even my standards (I consider Shatner an excellent actor) although his sane twin was done much better. It's one of those wild cosmic concepts more prevalent on the TNG series, not restricted to a quadrant or even just our galaxy, but everything. There's way too much repetition throughout: Kirk and some crew beam down to a planet's surface, they go back up to the Enterprise, then back down to the planet, over & over, it seems, with no results; Lazarus falls off a cliff a 2nd time...or is it a 3rd? Spock keeps making strange and frankly incomprehensible statements like "it's possible...very possible." Yes, it's true, this is one of the worst episodes in the entire series, right down there with "The Empath." Anyway, way too much time spent with out guest character and not nearly enough with our Enterprise crew means no matter how good the plot (which is not here anyway) it won't get sold. James Daley made a better guest star than the alternatively factored Robert Brown hastily levered in with a tyre iron....beam me up Panda! I never understood this episode.

He has been … Also, Lazarus has a bad habit of falling off cliffs. In reading up on the show, apparently the actor slated to play Lazurus bowed out at the last minute, ie John Barrymore. He rants and raves and lies and just annoys the daylights out of the audience.

The Alternative Factors Needs an Alternative Script, A Top 3 In My Least Favorite Trek Episodes. This was one strange episode that made little sense. The repeated shot in white-on-dark-blue silhouette of two figures struggling, the whole shot spinning on screen and visually mixed with astronomy photos of some distant galaxy was effective the first couple of times but with no discernible variation also became boringly repetitive.

"The Alternative Factor" admittedly lacks the confident charm, military hierarchy humor and sailing-ship-days sense of adventure that made the Star Trek TOS shows so much fun, like Raoul Walsh's Warner Brothers war films, with interesting characters & conflicts but also with what playwrights call intellectual "thought content"as well. Kirk and Spock investigate further only to find out that there is a tear or doorway into a parallel universe, it's up to them to how all this ties in with a bizarre man called Lazarus. Someone apparently really likes it. Firms will invest a lot when their profitability is high and the cost of capital is low. Tribble. You might have to be more than 10 miles away from the 2 guys when they are fighting, but the universe is safe. The script hints at the possibility of an invasion from the antimatter universe and/or the destruction of all existence due to the collision of both.

He wants Kirk's help in stopping him. The reason why I think this episode is so poor is the story is just plain stupid, the characters are made to be stupid, especially Spock, there is little or no parts for characters like Scottie, Sulu, Ohura, Bones, I mean even Yeoman Rand would have helped and I hated her! There is also no mention in "The Alternative Factor" of bypass circuits being fused beyond usability as a power-conversion alternative, the existence of which were mentioned to bolster the direness of the need for replacement crystals in the story line of "Mudd's Women". It just meant an episode that wasn't going to be as watchable because the guest star was an annoying trout that detracted from the story....a weak story in this case. Lazarus has a double in the other universe, a madman, and the only hope is to trap Lazarus and his mad double in the corridor for all eternity.
