Imo, a good ep. Neat premise about a cool "pleasure planet" is worth repeat views, the bunny and Alice in Wonderland cameos seemed a bit hokey to me, but the "death" of McCoy and his "resurrection" redeemed this ep for me. A classic hour of TOS fun. :)

I thought it was a great episode, a group of us even named a convention after it.

 

It had it's silly stuff but was an interesting idea that worked pretty well. It's better than most of the 3rd season episodes.

One of my favorite TOS episodes. Here are some classic quotes from Memory Alpha:

 

Memorable Quotes

"A princess shouldn't be afraid – not with a brave knight to protect her."

- Leonard McCoy

 

"They act exactly like the real thing. Just as pleasant. Or just as deadly."

- Spock

 

"The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play."

- Kirk

 

"He's becoming irritable and quarrelsome, but he refuses to take rest or rehabilitation. Now, he has that right, but we've found..."

"That crewman's right ends where the safety of the ship begins. Now, that man will go ashore on my orders. What's his name?"

"James Kirk. Enjoy yourself, Captain."

- Spock and Kirk

 

"I never answer questions from plebes, Jimmy boy."

"I'm not a plebe. This is today, 15 years later."

- Finnegan and Kirk

 

"Did you enjoy that, captain?"

"Yes... yes, I did. After all these years, all I wanted to do was beat the tar out of Finnegan."

- Spock after Kirk finishes off "Finnegan"

 

"You stupid underclassman. I've got the edge. I'm still 20 years old. Look at you. You're an old man."

- Finnegan
