Stephen of Borg 2 Posted November 28, 2006 Kirk and Spock are asked to help find a stolen holy item that will cause a holy war if not returned I really don't know what it was about this episode, but I couldn't get into that good. It was really well written, and the story was interesting, but I guess it just isn't my favorite kind of storyline. Some pretty interesting scenery was used in this episode that also had some pretty interesting aliens in it as well. Overall, a really good episode that is worth liking, but some people as myself may not like it as much as other episodes in this series. Still, I say that it is not the worst, I know it isn't. It's just not a personal favorite of mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted November 28, 2006 Its funny. Back in the 1970s, nobody knew what a Jihad was. Now, unfortunately, everyone knows..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted May 5, 2007 I give it a 2. Pee-freaking-yew. This was like a bad episode of Justice League. Em...a hero with self-esteem issues? Who knew? Sord was okay, but didn't get enough coverage. I have to admit, I thought the saboteur was the Vendalan at first. That twist helped keep it from sinking to a 1. That, and it was the reinstalling of a religious symbol that helped prevent war from the hands of a madman who hated it. That was quite a turnabout on what we're used to. Still, bad dialogue, ok story at best.... weak way to end season one of TAS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaboGirl 7 Posted July 3, 2008 Good episode, I give it a 4. It had plenty of action and it was a mystery until the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostofMajorHayes 10 Posted August 17, 2008 I gave it a 5. This ep kept me guessing and I enjoyed the plot from beginning to end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
