Again, solid enough for a 4, but it just didn't evoke a strong emotional response from me. Maybe it's just the way I'm feeling tonight, though I'd swear I feel fine. Alexander acted out his role supremely. Great job out of Shatner and Nimoy again, with their out of control bits, and as Spock's trying to master his hatred.

 

This episode has the legendary kiss, huh? Big whoop. Telekinetically forced. Meh to that. Big kudos to Michael Dunn in his job.

Michael Dunn's acting was superb.

But I loved him in "The Wild, Wild West" as Dr. Loveless (The series, not the movie).

4 to 5 if only because of the poor torture that they did to Kirk and Spock later Uhura/Chapel in order to keep McCoy on the Planet.

Great acting by Nimoy in this one, showing his shame in being forced to show emotions. ......and who wasn't cheering at the end when Kirk beat them at their own game. Barbara Babcock is one of the few actors to appear in more than one episode . She was also in "A Taste Of Armageddon".

I always thought this one was great. Loved the Platonians,Alexander and Uhura in one of her few shining moments during season 3.
