Not long ago, in the same era when William Shatner’s Star Trek first attracted its cult following, teenagers used to sit in basements and play make-believe fantasy role-playing games with funny multisided dice. When in combat, their characters attacked and defended in turns — a haltingly slow simulation of real-time action. Somehow, Shatner transported that energy into an episode of Star Trek in which he faces off against a bumbling lizard man. The clash — titled the “Worst Fight Scene Ever” in the above YouTube clip, which has been viewed more than 9 million times — is an excruciating contest of grimaces and feeble jabs, each gesture more absurd than the one that preceded it. Wait till you get to the bit with the rocks.
