Every time I re-watch that episode all I wanna do is hang out with the country dude. Like, imagine a farmer from the 1820s who’s somehow still alive and all they wanna do is play guitar and sing folk songs. I’d be that person’s best damn friend.
I don’t even like country music much and I still would want to hang out with the guy. He just seemed like a cool guy to get to know. And the fact that he took waking up hundreds of years after he was born in stride just made him cooler. Imagine finding out you died, got frozen and ended up in the 24th century and were just like, “well, that’ll happen…”
Don’t know about TOS, but TNG did country singer, asshole businessman, and woman. It was still the wacky seasons so it had that feel.
Whoops. Meant TNG.

The two guys signed up for it. The woman’s husband signed her up so she had no idea. Wake up and it’s suddenly 400 years later? Yeah I’d be wtf too.
The costumes from that episode were straight out of the TOS leftovers closet, though. Probably the script, too.
