In "Who Mourns for Adonnallies" (did I spell it right?) I didn't really know who was the bad guy. Apollo was just going by the nature of what he religiously believed about humans, however he kidnapped the Enterprise as well. I don't know I just guess that they should have looked for a better way out...but then you'd have people as boring as Sherlock Holmes on sedatives for an episode, not a good seller for Desilu.

No, I don't think it is spelt right but please don't ask me how you DO spell it.
Great use of religiously! Yeah, Apollo wasn't so bad, in fact he was rather joviel till Kirk ordered the scientist gal to break his heart, and then I think he had a right to get pissed. And he was the last of his kind as well.. I really think UFP needed to sort its policies out on dealing with those cases.
I think Kirk likes to blow up Gods, maybe because he has a slight ego problem. Remember when he thought he WAS a God? Didn't take a whole lot of convincing did he?

Too true, maybe Kirk is really sadistic and wanted the girl...+ an explosion or two in the meantime. ;D No, I do feel sorry for him, he had no reason to suspect that human nature had completely changed, look at us for ex. we're the dwindling group of Trekkies getting smaller by the year. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Too bad.

Kirk got amnesia whilst on a planet filled with American Indians. Some big breasted woman told him he was a God and he took her literally

You also have to remember that Kirk is so used to being a soldier that he often forgets he was trained as a diplomat aswell, besides what better to put on a resume then the destruction of a greek god?

HO, I didn't read the books because they were so different from the series and I guess I'm just a lazy reader :o

Who Mourns Adonis was one of those episodes that I didn't watch very often. Always managed to catch it at the tail end. That's just my luck, I guess. LOL

I've always liked that episode. I'm not sure why, but it caught my attention.

knowing Q. at first Apollo seemed to have powers of the Gods, and it could have been, but then Kirk found out his powers came from his Temple, thus no Q at all.
