History Recap / StarTrekS3E23AllOurYesterdays

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Spock starts out getting visibly frustrated, escalating into murderous rage. He kisses a girl passionately. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And he eats meat.]] It seems that all Vulcans have a loose psychic link with one another[[note]]Continuity! In "The Immunity Syndrome" this is how Spock senses the destruction of the ''Intrepid'', though he doesn't pick up details. In "Amok Time" he says Vulcans always know their proximity to their homeworld.[[/note]], and since they are thousands of years in the past and all Vulcans are in a savage state....

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Spock starts out getting visibly frustrated, escalating into murderous rage. He kisses a girl passionately. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And he eats meat.]] It seams that a psychic link with other Vulcans is what keeps Spock's emotions in check. Since they are thousands of years in the past and all Vulcans are in a savage state....

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunishes: Kirk hears a woman screaming and rushes to assist, and winds up trapped centuries in the past, accused of theft and witchcraft.

Now, all they have to do is [[FriendshipIsWitchcraft open the portal, jump in!]] Yeah, not as easy as all that....

* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: Bones collapses from exhaustion after wandering the frozen wasteland with Spock and tells Spock to leave him. [[Heartwarming/StarTrek Spock throws logic to the wind and picks Bones up and helps him walk.]] [[FridgeLogic Perhaps this is the first sign that Spock is losing his grip on his repressed emotions.]]

* JailBreak: Kirk wrestles the keys away from the water boy.

* HilariousInHindsight: The library is using silvery hand-sized discs as data storage devices. Very sci-fi, back in TheSixties! And now consider that today you can buy TOS (and thus this very episode!) on blu-ray and DVD...

* TheissTitillationTheory: Zarabeth is wearing some rather scanty animal skins under her fur. But Will was careful to cover that bellybutton!

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The supernova at the end of the episode, with the planet being wiped out by the shockwave.

* SamusIsAGirl: The [[StarWars Jawa]] with gigantism that saves Spock and Bones from freezing to death pulls back the hood to reveal a young Mariette Hartley!

* LiteraryAllusionTitle: From Shakespeare's {{Macbeth}}: "And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way of dusty death...."

The PowerTrio beams down to the planet Sarpeidon, intent on evacuating the denizens before the sun goes supernova. The only person they find is a librarian called Mr. Atoz and his [[MesACrowd clone army.]] Guess the library just wasn't getting any volunteer workers. Mr. Atoz tells Kirk and co. that everyone has gone already. Gone where? "Wherever they wanted to go." Mr. Atoz invites Kirk and co. to peruse his library, containing images of Sarpeidon's history. [[ReadingIsCoolAesop Because even if the sun's going supernova, there's still time to read!]] Or at least look at moving pictures. Kirk looks at images from a pre-industrial age. Bones and Spock look at images from the planet's ice age. Kirk hears a woman's scream and jumps to investigate. "No, wait!" shouts Mr. Atoz. "You haven't been prepared!" After a psychedelic light show, Kirk disappears and reappears in something right out of TheThreeMusketeers. Spock and Bones ignore Mr. Atoz's warnings and jump in after Kirk, only to find themselves on the cliff of an icy mountain.

Tropes for this episode include:

** For Zarabeth and the judge, at least, it is entirely true.

* DidNotGetTheGirl: Spock has to leave Zarabeth because it's the only way for Bones to return.

* SwordFight: Kirk gets in one with a Musketeer. He wins! He can sword fight with Musketeers, he can hold his own against the Gorn, but he can't take on [[BadassGrandpa an 80 year old librarian?]]

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Zarabeth tries to convince Spock and Bones this. The judge tries to convince Kirk this. Operative word: "tries".

* NubileSavage: Spock and McCoy meet one of these in "All Our Yesterdays" in the original series. It turns out she's from the planet's future, and was exiled to the distant past via a time machine by a dictator.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Spock starts out getting visibly frustrated, escalating into murderous rage. He kisses a girl passionately. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And he eats meat.]] It seams that a psychic link with other Vulcans is what keeps Spock's emotions in check. Since they are millions of years in the past and all Vulcans are in a savage state....

* RedheadInGreen: The woman Kirk tries to save from a Musketeer. She even has hints of an [[{{Oireland}} Oirish]] accent.

* SwordFight: Kirk gets in one with a Musketeer. He wins!
