Stephen of Borg 2 Posted November 29, 2006 McCoy is blamed for causing a plague on a planet he was once on many years ago. He is also the only one who can cure this disease when the crew of the Enterprise get the disease themselves and are dying. This is a truly amazing episode that could have been one of the original series episodes. It's writing is superb and the acting is truly great. Albatross is one of those episode that you forget that you are watching a cartoon and it really does feel like a full-fledged episode of Star Trek. The disease is interesting since it makes those who get the disease change their skin color before they die. The start off blue, then green and finally red before death. Overall, this is a highly recommended episode of this series. As I said, a great episode that truly is Trek! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted May 11, 2007 Big 4.... almost a 5. Biggest issue was how could an aurora be responsible for disease. Other than that, just the basic contrived dialogue at the end that gave it a rocky ending. But a very good episode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostofMajorHayes 10 Posted August 17, 2008 Easily a 5. One of my fave McCoy eps in all of Star Trek. Its a shame that this wasn't a TOS ep, it would've been awesome!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
