Where is sulu joke

And you can count the number of Asian hosts S. Because baby steps. The sketch was meant to mock the privilege of the whiny American tech reporters. In other words, the Chinese characters were the heroes. But the fact that S. A sketch where Kerry Washington famously had to play all the black women both living in and visiting the White House not only acknowledged S.

With Zamata in the cast, by the way, S. The desire for a more inclusive S. TOS : " Catspaw ". When the being Apollo jammed all power sources on the Enterprise , Sulu was able to rig all transmission circuits for maximum power generation.

This eventually lead the ship to be allowed to destroy, with phasers, Apollo's strange radiated power source, his temple , which broke the ship free of his hold on them. Sulu was one of many of the bridge crew who were thrown violently about when the Enterprise encountered and engaged the probe Nomad , and later in the year , the planet killer.

When the Jack the Ripper entity took control of the Enterprise computer, Kirk ordered McCoy to have tranquilizers administered, to the entire crew, via hypospray to keep them calm. The tranquilizers definitely worked on Sulu because his main inquiry about the entity afterwards was, " Whoever he is, he sure talks gloomy?

I wouldn't be afraid of a supernova! When the Enterprise was temporarily placed under the control of the M-5 computer as part of an experiment by Dr. Richard Daystrom , Sulu was one of twenty officers selected by the computer for the series of M-5 drills. Instead it turned our that all of the Exeter 's crew, except Captain Ronald Tracey were dead from a virus that turned them into their base minerals that they contracted on the planet.

The away team of Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Lieutenant Galloway beamed down to the planet to investigate further and Captain Tracey informed them they couldn't go back to the Enterprise because their ship's crew would be infected.

This information from Tracey was later discovered by McCoy to be untrue. Then the mission became to stop Tracey from interfering with the society on the planet which was in a clear violation of the Prime Directive of the Federation.

Tracey also made it very difficult to the landing party to stay in contact with the Enterprise when he had their communicators confiscated and then hidden from them. Fortunately, a short time later, Spock was able to get a native of the planet to help him get a message to Sulu, via one of the communicators, to beam down with Lieutenant Leslie and another security officer to arrest Captain Tracey. When the essence of the alien Henoch was in possession of Spock's body he terrorized Uhura, inflicting tremendous pain on her.

Sulu started to turn around to protest and Henoch turned to him and said, " Must I make an example of you too, helm? TOS : " Return to Tomorrow ". Sulu and the rest of the bridge crew under the mind control of the Starnes children. In , after the Starnes Exploration Party children were brought aboard the Enterprise from the planet Triacus , no one on board knew that the children were under the influence of the alien Gorgan , who had given the children the ability of mind control.

This mind control had already caused the deaths of the children's parents and was the way in which Gorgan hoped to achieve galactic dominance by way of other children. The children used their mind control on Sulu, Chekov and Uhura to make them believe that the Enterprise was still orbiting Triacus, when in actuality Sulu and Chekov had set course for Marcus XII , the intended next target for Gorgan.

This also caused Kirk, unaware of the change of course and departure from the orbit of Triacus, to have two crewmen have their molecules beamed into and spread throughout space and to their deaths. Kirk called Sulu from the transporter room to inquire about the change of course, but Sulu insisted the ship was still in orbit around Triacus despite clear evidence to the contrary seen by Kirk and Spock.

After Kirk arrived on the bridge and tried to shake Sulu from the mind control, Gorgan appeared there and urged the children to up the level of the mind control. That's when Tommy Starnes planted in Sulu's mind the image of if the Enterprise diverted course away from Marcus XII, the ship would be destroyed by any number of swords that were formed in rings around the ship.

Sulu was freed from the mind control once the children were freed from the influence of Gorgan. Sulu was rendered unconscious by the Eymorg Kara when she boarded the Enterprise and used her control bracelet in order to steal Spock's brain. He was later part of the bridge discussion, with Kirk, Chekov and Uhura, regarding where to look for Spock's brain, in the Sigma Draconis system , when it was stolen by Kara.

TOS : " Spock's Brain ". When Spock mind melded with Medusan Ambassador Kollos to guide the Enterprise back to normal space from being stranded in an uncharted void of the galaxy , by the then dead Larry Marvick , Spock-Kollos took over the helm console from Sulu and was assisted in the task by Chekov at navigation. Unfortunately Spock-Kollos forgot to put back on the visor, which caused Spock to go temporarily insane while still on the bridge. In this temporary insanity, he pushed very hard backwards, Sulu and Chekov, who were trying to help him with Sulu ending up being pushed into the Captain's chair on his rear end.

Fortunately Sulu recovered quickly, and Spock did so as well, a short time after that. Fortunately Kirk was beamed aboard the Enterprise a short time later, still alive. Sulu was part of a four-man landing party that went to investigate an unusual planet whose size was approximately that of Luna , yet mass and atmosphere were similar to Earth and geologically was only a few thousand years older.

But even before the landing party made it to the planet, they got to witness as they were in the process of beaming down a mysterious woman touch the shoulder of the transporter operator and killing him.

But the mystery and danger didn't stop there. Shortly after the landing party beamed down to the planet, the planet was struck by an unusual and strong earthquake for a planet so young geologically. Then senior geologist D'Amato said his tricorder registered an almost immeasurable powerful energy burst. Kirk couldn't raise the Enterprise with his communicator and Sulu discovered the Enterprise wasn't even in orbit anymore, effectively stranding them.

Sulu and McCoy both tried to theorize what might have happened to the ship, with Sulu suggesting it blew up and McCoy suggesting it hit the planet.

But Kirk rejected both theories due to the lack of residual radiation. The landing party became concerned because there was no sign of water, and only a virus-like plant parasite on the planet, and all the vegetation was poisonous to humans. The landing party split up to look for evidence of any other lifeform. Sulu's tricorder registered a sudden magnetic reading that quickly dissipated, as though a door was opening and closing.

McCoy's medical tricorder registered a lifeform that was there one minute, then gone just a few minutes later. When the three of them ran to where D'Amato was they found him on the ground dead.

McCoy ran his medical tricorder over D'Amato's body and reported that all of D'Amato's cells had been disrupted from the inside. When Kirk attempted to use his phaser to dig a grave for the man, the surface of the planet withstood the force. Further tricorder readings revealed that the planet was an artificial body. A short time later, as night time approached, Kirk and McCoy tried to sleep, while Sulu stood first guard.

Then the mysterious woman from the transporter room appeared and shut-off D'Amato's tricorder which was set for automatic distress. She then told Sulu that she was for him, by name, and she needed to touch him. Sulu realized who she was and shot his phaser at her and that seemed to keep her back, but then Sulu's phaser started failing on him and he tripped on some rocks and she was able to touch Sulu's shoulder which made him scream out in pain. Kirk and McCoy came running and the woman insisted she still needed to touch Sulu, but Kirk wouldn't let her.

The woman then touched Kirk, but nothing happened. Kirk asked her how she could destroy people, but the woman insisted she didn't want to destroy anyone, she then disappeared like a door closing.

McCoy discovered that Sulu's shoulder had suffered from the same cellular disruption as had been evident in D'Amato's body.

The three men realized that the woman's destructive power was directed at one person at a time. When the woman reappeared the next morning she was there to touch and kill Kirk. Sulu and McCoy, acting as shields, were able to stop her from killing Kirk with him making several inquiries about her.

She called herself Losira , the commander of this station , that killing was wrong but she must do so to defend the station although the people who once lived on the station were no more.

Kirk sensed her confusion and loneliness but she suddenly disappeared as if a door was closing, yet again. The men then followed tricorder readings and found an underground door to the planet's central chamber. Once they got to the central chamber's computer room, three versions of Losira appeared with each threatening to touch and kill either Sulu, Kirk or McCoy.

Fortunately they held them off until Spock and Lieutenant Lemli beamed into the room, from a still surviving Enterprise , and Lemli used his phaser to destroy the computer which made the three images of Losira disappear saving Sulu, Kirk and McCoy.

They then got to see a recorded image of Losira welcoming her fellow Kalandans to the colony and explained that it had been destroyed by a disease that they accidentally produced when they created the outpost and as the last survivor Losira did not believe she would survive until after help arrived and had set the station's defense mechanism on automatic, using images of herself to defend against other lifeforms.

McCoy then surmised that the disease must have wiped out the whole entire Kalandan species, and the image of Losira was waiting for a people who had become extinct thousands of years ago.

By , Sulu was recognized as a specialist in weapons and navigation. That year, Sulu's ability to speak was affected when the Zetarians attacked the Enterprise as the ship was trying to reach Memory Alpha , with Sulu saying afterwards, " I couldn't utter a sound! Later while the landing party was on Memory Alpha , Sulu was left in charge of the bridge while taking orders from Kirk on the planetoid 's surface.

During the concert given on board the Enterprise for the crew by Dr. Sevrin 's followers in , it was piped on to the bridge for the bridge crew to listen to. Sulu ended up tapping his fingers on the helm console and moving his head with the beat, until Scott gave him a stern look. Later, when Dr. Sevrin and his followers hijacked the Enterprise from auxiliary control and applied ultrasonics , Sulu was knocked out with the rest of the crew.

Sulu slumped on the helm console when he passed out from the ultrasonics. He'd come to find out that Dr. Sevrin and his followers had stolen the shuttlecraft Galileo II and were headed into Romulan space to get to the planet " Eden " and during the process of hijacking had also stranded the Enterprise in the same Romulan space. Fortunately before the Romulans could discover that the Enterprise was there they found Dr.

Sevrin's followers and saved them and got out of Romulan space. Later that year, Sulu piloted the ship during a star charting mission on the far reaches of and the ship was pulled into a black star , Questar M , due to its gravitational pull. Sulu told him that the helm wasn't answering due to hyper-gravity, and they were " Sulu then told Kirk that they were still falling towards the star, so Kirk ordered full reverse thrust.

But that just made things even worse and the ship continued to fall towards the black star. So Kirk ordered Sulu to flank speed ahead to make orbit around the black star which did work. Sulu put them alongside of an ancient insectoid ship , after Kirk ordered it.

This marked Sulu's fourth time in temporary command, as he took over the captain's chair when Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Scott beamed over to investigate the long abandoned vessel. After the Enterprise initially lost contact with the landing party, he acknowledged transporter chief Kyle 's good work transporting the landing party off the ship.

At the same time, however, an ancient magnetic organism returned to the Enterprise in the transporter beam along with the landing party. As organism began to take over the Enterprise , Sulu reported that it had activated and targeted ship phasers before destroying the insectoid ship. Sulu noted that manual override didn't work. Sulu doubled as the ship's tactical officer during the Enterprise 's defense of Mantilles against a large cloud creature that threatened the planet.

Sulu again doubled as the ship's tactical officer during the Enterprise 's encounter with the IKS Devisor. He also had direct control of the robot grain ship 's that the Enterprise was escorting to Sherman's Planet , and was responsible for attempting to fly them into the Devisor during the last ditch effort to stop the Devisor. Sulu joined the landing party that investigated a newly discovered planet at the periphery of the Milky Way Galaxy , where he discovered and picked up an interesting mobile plant, called a retlaw plant.

This mobile plant poisoned Sulu, with McCoy having trouble saving him. Fortunately the intelligent plant like beings who were native to this planet, they called Phylos, gave Sulu an antidote to the poison, which saved him. A short-time later, the landing party was attacked by flying plant creatures, with Sulu trying to shoot them with his phaser and failing to do so. After it was discovered by Lucien 's fellow Megans that the crew of the Enterprise was practicing magic in the alternate universe that the Megans resided in and their planet Megas-Tu was in, the crew of the ship, including Sulu, were transported off the ship and on the planet and were promptly put into 17th century style pillories as punishment.

The crew, including Sulu, were in the Megans interpretation of Salem and were put on a similar Salem witch trial and were nearly put to death courtesy of Megan Asmodeus ' prosecuting legal tactics. Fortunately Spock, as a Vulcan defense counselor, pleaded successfully for the crew's release in that humanity had grown away from the hatred, fear and bigotry of Sulu on the Shore Leave Planet in Near the end of Sulu suffered the first of two assaults by computers.

And the first assault could be considered a series of them. Sulu was part of the first landing party that beamed down to the Shore Leave Planet when Kirk ordered shore leave for his crew. Everything seemed to be fine on the planet, with McCoy again seeing the white rabbit and Alice following him and Uhura finding time to sing near a lake, but then McCoy was looking at a stately ancient looking antebellum southern mansion and dreaming of mint juleps when he was taken out of his reverie by the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland and some card soldiers chasing after him with the Queen yelling, Off with his head!

McCoy got away and Kirk had the landing party beamed back aboard demanding an explanation. Then everyone noticed that Uhura had not beamed back. As it turned out, the master computer had kidnapped Uhura and was holding her hostage but at first no one could figure out why. Shortly after, Sulu, Kirk, Spock and McCoy beamed back down and discovered part of the reason as to why the master computer was acting up when the Keeper's headstone was found and it revealed that the Keeper had recently died.

But still that didn't quite explain why the computer was acting the way it was and against it's protocols to be a relaxing amusement park for the visitors on shore leave and it even started attacking the Enterprise itself. In trying to find away into the master computer's control room, the four men were chased into a cave by two pterodactyls and trapped in the cave for quite a few minutes by a giant Cheshire type cat.

Then Spock formed an idea to make it appear through an injection as if he was near death, which did work and let Spock be taken into the underground master computer room and Kirk following but unfortunately McCoy and Sulu weren't as lucky. Then Sulu and McCoy were chased by a two-headed dragon.

Fortunately for Sulu and McCoy this didn't last long as Uhura reasoned with the master computer that it was serving a useful need and also wasn't a servicing slaves humans of the so-called sky machines. With the crises gone, Sulu and McCoy settled down to a nice picnic with Alice, the white rabbit and the two-headed dragon.

McCoy with Kirk's assistance treating Sulu's broken right leg with a microscope laser when all of them were miniaturized. As the bridge crew continued to shrink and couldn't reach the various stations' controls, Kirk ordered them to improvise as best they could. Sulu and Arex had ladder stilts built for them to reach the controls.

Sulu also got impatient and a bit angry and decided to solve their crises by firing phasers on the planet; he bent down to move the helm scanner to target the planet for maximum firing, but Kirk and Spock tried to stop him from doing so. Whether Sulu heard them or not became a moot point when the arrow of the scanner hit him and he fell to the bridge floor, breaking his right leg.

Kirk and Arex helped take him to sickbay. In sickbay McCoy was having a difficult time trying to set his leg, when Nurse Christine Chapel , who was fretting about them not being able to use the bone-knitting laser which was too large for them to use at that height, came up with an ingenious solution of using the microscope laser that was usually used to heal the inner ear to set and heal Sulu's right leg. Chapel's idea did work and Sulu did heal. Later Sulu was part of the crew that helped to rescue the Terra 10 colonist 's mutated descendants from the unstable planet so they could be relocated to a more stable planet in the galaxy.

Sulu was returned to normal height, along with the rest of the crew, by use of the transporter saving their original molecular structure in the pattern buffers. When the Enterprise went through the Delta Triangle space-time warp, Sulu, along with the rest of the crew suffered from temporary vertigo. The last assault that happened to Sulu during the Enterprise 's original five-year mission also was the second one by a computer and this time it was the Enterprise computer itself that assaulted him and two other members of the crew.

In the first few weeks of , Captain Kirk hid the ship, from Romulan battle cruisers that were attacking, in a space energy cloud not realizing this would turn the ship's computer into a practical joker. Many practical jokes were played on various members of the crew.

To get away from the practical joker, Sulu, McCoy and Uhura decided to get themselves away in the holographic recreation room. The computer played a series of practical jokes on the three of them, trapping them in a deep hole in a forest, trapping them in a raging blizzard and then in a garden maze. An Enterprise security team kept on looking for them but couldn't. But fortunately a second team was more successful and saved the three crew members before any more harm could come to them.

Another trip through the cloud rid the computer of the practical jokes, but the Romulan starships that followed them through were then left with the practical joker effect with Kirk stating that at some point in time he might be willing to share with them how to shake the effect.

The final illness that Sulu suffered from happened in the form of the Dramia II plague where Sulu collapsed on his helm console after turning a wicked shade of blue as did the rest of the crew.

Fortunately, Dr. McCoy found a cure to rescue Sulu and the rest of the infected crew. TAS : " Albatross ". In , upon entering an anti-matter universe , the Enterprise crew experienced the effects of accelerated reverse aging. Sulu, as with the rest of the crew, was first reduced to pre-adolescence and had no idea what the helm was, how to run the helm or what the controls were in front of him. Eventually Sulu was reduced to infancy.

Fortunately after returning the ship to their universe, the crew was able to return to their normal age by using the transporters. Following the conclusion of the Enterprise 's historic five-year mission, the ship returned to Earth the same year. As a lieutenant commander in the s. A year after returning to Earth, the Enterprise underwent a major eighteen month refit under the direction of her new captain, Will Decker.

By the end of the refit, Sulu had been promoted to lieutenant commander , and with the encroachment of the V'ger entity, he again served under his old captain, then- Rear Admiral Kirk.
