Why, when she morphs into Kirk, does her voice change to that of Kirk's? Since she can change her appearance at will, it stands to reason she can control her voice mimicry as well. What good is shapeshifting if you cannot change your voice? She uses her Martia voice while pretending to be the large alien brute to show our heroes that it's her. But she uses Kirk's voice to complete the ruse because she is legitimately trying to fool our heroes and escape. I still don't understand how they know to shoot the imposter.

There are a few theories. One is that Martia kept her yellow eyes as Kirk. That's an iffy explanation because the footage is not clear enough to see if one Shatner was wearing yellow contacts. Another is because Martia removed her shackles when she shrunk down to a child size. This was well before the fight with the real Kirk, who was still wearing his shackles. We see the difference when he knocks her back before she changed, and then a few times during the fight in overhead shots. The idea would be that the Klingon commandant would know that a human could not escape shackles, but a shapeshifter could. This theory is weak because Nick Meyer did not pull the camera back far enough for us to see that the commandant could also see the lack of shackles before vaporizing her. The shot was just waist up. The most solid theory is that since the the shapeshifter (in her Martia form) is "naturally" shorter than Kirk, she points "up" at him when telling the commandant to shoot. Kirk, instead, points straight across. Honorable mentions: Klingons are supposed to have an extremely keen sense of smell (Birthright, Pt 2). This theory is weak because S4 of DS9 shows how easily better shapeshifters can easily fool the entire Klingon hierarchy for months. Last theory: The commandant was going to kill both of them anyways and just shot one first. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I think my theory that Kirk's 'tude tipped the Klingon commandant off is solid.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 The "kill him, he's the one!" line is delivered in an oddly effeminate way. That's a red flag for the boss Klingon dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were either skilled Shapeshifters with the ability to disguise their scent, or it's inconsistent writing between series due to convenience. The latter seems more likely.

Wojo 2,453 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 We watched Star Treks II and III back to back last night. III gets a little bad rep as being an odd movie so it must suck, but it does not. It is an excellent companion to II, a love letter to Spock, and I think its ending is more emotionally poignant than the ending of II. I don't think IV is streaming at the moment.

Wojo 2,453 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I'm really starting to hate Vudu. It logs itself out my TV every few weeks. And of course I don't have a USB keyboard, and my password is always hard to remember. But I don't need to buy digital copies of movies. That's old hat. I can simply stream them using established streaming accounts and record them overnight using the PlayOn software, which I purchased last year. Then I stream them from my home network.

If you don't like Whoopi, you won't like Time's Arrow. Jerry Hardin (still alive at 90)is a campy delight. And Descent is also entertaining, if you like the B and L.
