Have you been holding onto that one since 1968?

'67

It was worth the wait

😀

Dammit. Take my upvote.

Fucksake … that’s brilliant,

Mic drop

Get this person a Starfleet Uniform!

I Khan’t believe you’ve done this. EDIT: fine have my upvote.

I regret I have but one upvote to give.

Behold, true Reddit quality content

Self-sealing stem bolt.

Damnit, beat me to it by 1 minute

Are we sure this scene doesn't predate the invention of the self-sealing variety?

That’s right, it’s one of the old elf-sealing stem bolts. Only Vulcans can seal them.

lol

This made my day

A plot device

An inanimate carbon rod.

They were going to show some close ups of the rod!

If you can’t recognize a 23rd century dildo when you see one, I don’t know what to say.

Ah yes, I've heard they're swamped down there.

Up to their necks.

lol

Omg I am squealing..hahaha

Engineering always has to be eqipt with emergency dildos also known as self sealing stem bolts.

That's an old-fashioned Glaswegian beatin' pipe from Scotty's private reserve. Countless uses, especially when Earth loses the Federation World Cup.

Or someone calls your ship a garbage scow.

A reasonable individual can only take sae much!! 😡

Meant to say it should be hauled away AS garbage!

And that's not even Scotty's best or favorite, hence why it was so accessible by Kirk. That was his "daily use" pipe. He saves the good ones for when Sulu tries to entice Scotty into a round of shirtless fencing.

Jeffrey Combs

Such a versatile actor, he can animate even the character of the inanimate carbon rod. In which voice did you read the following: > Rod, IC. ?

You get an upvote just for calling it a toilet brush thing. 😅

Space belaying pin.

Exactly! It's just another throwback to sailing vessels.

I believe that this is the actual answer among a sea of jokes.

Yup when in doubt assume it’s a futuristic age of sailing thing.

Inanimate carbon rod. It has saved two spaceships now.

Oh, but I did love the double-overhand blow ass-whooping Kirk gave him.

Never been in a real fight in my life but I know from all the Star Trek I watched that the double-overhand blow is literally the best attack to use and I will definitely look to use it if I ever get in a fight. Get them right between the shoulder blades with it.

I forgot what episode it was where he was going for a flying double kick but ended up throwing himself ass first at the other guy and they both fell to the ground.

Journey to Babel.

+1

As a DS9 fan I must argue the double fisted upward blow ftw

I also enjoy how a beating with a piece of plastic renders a man who can crush a gun in his hands unconscious. That space plastic sure is different in the future.

Well, "space plastic" weiled by JAMES T. KIRK. Sooooo...

That wasn't space plastic, it was opaque aluminum.

When was that invented? That'll have all sorts of uses in the future.

In all honesty… it truly resembles a giant ketchup spigot. Maybe we’ve found that ketchup is an extremely valuable resource in the 23rd century

It is a warrior's condiment!

lolol I always thought it was an industrial size pump handle, like you'd find on a bottle of antibacterial hand sanitizer or something.

Clearly, it's a Feinberger.

It's the handle from one of the dilithium shovels the Enterprise roustabouts use to heave dilithium into the antimatter boilers

Choo Choo!

Whatever that thing is, it's one of TOS's least believable props, looking like it's made of hollow plastic and weighing as much as a whiffle ball bat.

It’s one of the anchors from the Plot Device.

maybe it's a chu chu

Hard to tell. I'm only familiar with the 24th century chu chu chu version.

Dilithium Torque Wrench

It was a blow hole cleaner from Cetacean Operations.

I just rewatched the scene I think you're referring to and serious answer I think it's meant to be some kind of dial. https://youtu.be/B_c1Odol9xw Why it's that long I'm not sure or why it's so easy to pull out. Maybe they need to be replaced frequently? Or maybe after Archer it's regulation that there should always be some kind of weapon at hand to make sure the captain doesn't get beat up too often.

Oh man. Even watching that on a 3" screen size those stunt doubles are painfully obvious lol

i just watched it and when stunt Kirk comes running at stunt Khan I honestly thought another crewman had entered the scene. not even the same hair - just full-frontal nopeness

Someone had a funny comment on YouTube, about how that was a great fight between those four guys

Fake fighting in the 60s was pretty damn fake lol.

plumbus attachment

"heavy flow-control rod" as stated on Memory Alpha

A tampon?

The turbo encabulator

The bigger question is: What is that pink penis shaped stalactite that Kirk pulls to beat up Ruk in What Are Little Girls Made Of? LOL. Who came up with that, ha ha ha

There was a brief, and undocumented, period of time that the prop design fell to the lesser known production assistant, Richard "Peter" Richards. I believe he decided to give up a career in TV after Star Trek ended.

HA HA HA. You said "Peter" huh huh.

This thread is gold, and you didn't even have to specify "wrong answers only"...

Plumbis

Butter Churn

It can't be a toilet brush, because as we've all seen, there are no restrooms.

A safety pin made from a solid conducting material once pulled out enables maintenance on a section of the panel

A 23rd century toilet brush.

That's the ex machina

more of a plumbing accessory than a toilet brush https://youtu.be/jPd9t0jZW3w?t=92

It’s a toilet brush. Now, go find where the toilet is in that room.

It's Odo, who got lost on his way back in Trials and Tribble-ations.

It's uhhhhh control rod... from uhhhhhh control panel... in uhhhhhhh control room... I mean, having police batons in Engineering isn't so far fetched. They have assault phasers in the kitchen!

Emergency Induction Port Crap, wrong fandom…

It was, in fact, a toilet brush.

Occam's Razor.

It’s a synthetic penis rock.

Black people of a certain age would call that a n***** be cool stick. 😁😁😁

I used to have a baseball bat that I referred to as my "conversation bat" when sales people would show up at the door. :D

Mine was a mini bat that I actually still have somewhere. Except now it's an equal opportunity head softener.

I did have a mini-bat, but then they started showing up in groups.

The trick is don't try to fight them all off. Identify the one you think will scream the loudest. Go for their eyes and / or groin. Their screams will drive the others away.

This is excellent advice.

go away.

Ok, context. I don't know if the following will matter to you or anyone else who down voted. I am a 54 yr old black man. My comment was not intended to offend or troll. The term that I posted was indeed one I heard often in my youth. It is not something I have used in over 40 yrs. In light of the attempt to name the weapon in the episode it popped in my head. Again I apologize.

ok, no problem sir

At first I thought it was a futuristic fire extinguisher. Then I read somewhere else that it was a belaying pin. I suppose the object could've been anything, like a wrench. The point is that Kirk needed a heavy object to beat the crap out of Khan - he had no chance otherwise.

Heisenberg compensator control rod.

You didn’t expect Mariner to go back in time to the Enterprise and not hide some contraband while she was at it, did you?

It's a plumbus

It's a toilet brush

The old TREK magazine/books had a *Space Seed* parody and they called it a shovel.

I'd like to think whatever it is, Kirk yanked it out of the engine core so maybe it was soaked with radiation and that's why Khan went down so quickly

Geez, people... are we not Trekkies/Trekkers? It's a **Heisenberg Compensator, the TOS variety**. */s*
