Thank you @TOSSatNight for tonight’s mad woman. Back next week for another unhinged adversary. #TOSSatNight

Good-bye Deela. I guess they’re not giving the  cure to the Scalosians. But Kirk will have fond memories of sexy time with Deela. #TOSSatNight

Rael’s not so tough when he has to move against people at normal speed. #TOSSatNight

I wonder how many younger viewers got the subtext of this scene on first viewing. #TOSSatNight

I guess the Enterprise’s landing party surveillance system was turned on that day. #TOSSatNight

Kirk has definitely done more than just look during his time. #TOSSatNight

The banter between Kirk and Deela is one of the highlights of the episode. Kirk is trying to manipulate Deela. She knows it and is trying to give it back to him. #TOSSatNight

The Scalosians remind me of the scavengers in “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail.” They’ve come to rationalize all the death and destruction they do as being needed to survive. #TOSSatNight

A lot of things you can say about James Kirk … #TOSSatNight

That Scalosian woman doesn’t have Deela’s manic charm. #TOSSatNight

Thank goodness they didn’t have Uhura scream this time when she saw Kirk was no longer on the bridge. That’s one of the few downsides in “Arena.” #TOSSatNight

That’s going to be  shock to the bridge crew when they see the phaser blast smash into the wall. Hope it doesn’t hit anything vital. #TOSSatNight

You don’t need friends if Deela is your enemy. #TOSSatNight

Kirk should have gotten a dedicated coffee cup holder for the captain’s chair by Season 3. Imagine if he spilled coffee on the eject pod button? #TOSSatNight

Considering what redshirts go through, they got off easy. #TOSSatNight

It’s time for pillow fights. The plot for “Wink of An Eye” makes no sense. But it’s a fun episode, especially for Season 3. #TOSSatNight
