    Believe it or not, this has made me actually want to go and watch this episode.

    Happy to oblige!

    I mean it's not exactly the most watchable episode in the series, but you can find some fun things about it…

    Oh, and now that we are actually at the end of the Original Series, can I request your updated watch-list, Josh? You said a few episodes back you had made one for your sister (in law? can't remember properly now), but that you would have changed one or two episodes on it.

    I would like to see if I can't introduce my daughter to Star Trek, and doing so from the perspective of this blog would be a pretty good starting point, I reckon.

    Check back in the next few days (most likely over the weekend): I've got a post lined up especially for that purpose 🙂

    Y'know I agree with everyone here – despite the admitted flaws in the story, your post makes me want to watch this again too! Thanks so far for your epic run on TOS – looking forwards to the future!
