I'm almost 65. I miss the real Star Trek.

The look on the face of Chevy Chase was priceless when they took his ears.

That's Kirk's actual serial number (as seen in the episode "Court Martial") that Belushi recites at the end. Belushi even does it with his eyes closed, perhaps showing us he's a green blooded Trekkie because he knew it by heart.

In Bob Woodward's book on Belushi, "Wired: The Short Life and Fast Times of John Belushi" he recounts how Belushi missed the dress rehersal for ths skit and right before it was obvious he couldn't get his lines right. But when the live camera rolled he absolutely nailed it. Thats part of what makes him legendary.

What really makes this is Belushi's perfect and subtle impression of William Shatner's body language. He was such a consummate physical comedian.

Chevy Chase is playing Spock?! Wow, he really did a fantastic job. I really didn't think it was him. His voice was spot on.

Belushi delivers his lines perfectly for a show with little preparation. He was great.

"With the exception of one television network, we have found intelligent life." Imagine 7 years after a show has been off the air, mocking your own network for cancelling it while shooting the first season of your own show. And also knowing that at the height of Star Trek's popularity in syndication, you are absolutely justified in doing so.

Belushi showed his immense talent in this skit.

I died when Spock kept trying his nerve pinch 😂

The progenitor of all Star Trek parody. I love how Belushi only occasionally slips into the quirks of William Shatner's speech patterns as opposed to doing it throughout the sketch as is common with Shatner impressions since.

What made this sketch so good is it was played straight and not spoofed

Fantastic skit, John Belushi was truly one of a kind.

I was a teenager when the original cast was blowing every ones minds. Nobody missed a show!

One of the most brilliant satires ever written. It's funny because all good comedy has a kernel of truth at its core.

I love how John just won't give up the character.

This skit is perfection. It really is. Elliot Gould walks in like he owns the place. I love it.

I love this skit, very well written. I'm old enough to remember the Promise Margarine reference.

God, I miss the days when SNL was funny. I watched this episode as a stoned college student. I was glued to SNL every Saturday night. Great memories all around. RIP, Belushi.
