Incredible scene but I'm glad they stuck with the original scene. William Windom should have won an Emmy for the scene, especially the scene where he sacrificed himself with the shuttle craft.

"The Doomsday Machine" isn't just classic Star Trek, it's classic television, period.

My favorite episode.
I really hope they don’t try and re-use the planet killer in modern Star Trek.
They’d ruin it. Forever.

Yes, it’s more like a deleted take. The scene that made it in is so much more powerful.

I’ve seen all 79 episodes many times over. A person can legitimately claim there are 81 but that’s nerdy talk. It’s incredible to see stuff I’ve never seen before.

“William Windom should have won an Emmy for the scene”
That wasn’t acting - he was a captain of a Star Ship and lost his entire crew.

I thought that thing was going to kill Kirk when he piloted the crippled ship, I think the constellation, into its opening. The transporter was failing. I, being about 11 at the time, ran upstairs to my room, thinking it was over for Kirk.
How impressionable a youngster I was. :)

A sequel to this episode was made by the first fan-film group
Star Trek: New Voyages.
The episode is In Harm's Way, with William Windom reprising his role as Commodore Decker, as well as Star Trek alums Barbara Luna and Malachi Throne.
The video is at the link.
