I've always loved this. I laugh hysterically at the fight scene every time I see that episode. Between that ludicrous maneuver and the Andorian's inability to get his vest to cooperate it's a laugh riot.
This scene always baffled me. What were they trying to convey here? Was it some kind of Space Karate or was it a flubbed stunt they didn't reshoot? I ask mainly because it's Shatner doing the entire fight, no stunt guy (which was rare). Shatner was athletic at the time, but I don't believe he had any real fighting skills, so I would think this is supposed to be a real life stunt kick that missed or some weird Trek Universe body slam that didn't work out. Either way, it resulted in Kirk showing his back to his opponent for an absurdly long time. Time enough to get stabbed.

...someone catches on fire, and instead of doing the sensible thing to stop, drop and roll, they just run around in circles, flailing their arms uselessly around, until they burn to a crisp? No one ever has the slightest bit of sense when it comes to basic fire safety that's drilled into most kids' heads from kindergarten on.
Or they'll leap through a window, which is on the 105th floor of the worlds tallest building, plummeting to their death. Said window shatters quite easily, by the way.

...and inevitably land on the roof of a car, crushing it in an explosion of glass. No one who plummets to their death from the window of a high rise building ever just splats on the sidewalk. I guess cars just magnetically attract anyone falling from a great height.

The main villian hires someone to do a job for him; forge papers, build a time bomb etc.
when the product is delivered the main villian always kills the supplier - often AFTER giving him the money!!!! this ridiculous cliche musit go - unfortunatley even the great Chris Nolan used it in TDKR (after Selena steals Wayne's finger prints for Bane they try to kill her)

...the end title roller is almost as long as the film, naming everyone who lives in California. Remember just, The End, or if you want to be arty, Fin.

now we know why subsequent fight scenes were always in long shot and done by stunt men!

Scientists, investigators, etc., are trying to determine how the - you name it; the aliens' spaceships are invulnerable to earth's weapons, the creature is morphing into other forms, the villain's identity, etc., and one of them, confident they've figured it out, states their conclusion and says "It's the only answer!" or "It can't be anything else!", with no real proof. Can't someone tell them "No, it's not the only answer, it could be millions of other possibilities."?

...how no one ever make a single spelling mistake when typing at a keyboard, no matter how fast and furiously they're typing? Even real-time IM conversations are never misspelled, unless it's for deliberate effect.
that's a stretch!
not only don't i hate it, it never even occurred to me
!!!!!!!

Extraterrestrials capable of flying gazillions of light years to earth in machines that are eons ahead of us in technology, and operate super sophisticated weapons, equipment, etc., yet are so un-evolved that they only communicate, if at all, via grunts, growls, and gurgling snarls and are purely animalistic and insatiably aggressive.
Just watched Cowboys vs Aliens this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it but it seems those ETs are just like the ones in Independence Day and War of the Worlds. Compared to them the creature in Predator was a genius. Or, are they just some sort of trained creatures used to prepare the way for the real brains yet to come?
