I do like that we get more of Kirk's backstory here, even if I do agree the writing is not the best. That's the problem with shows like this though, the writing can be extremely uneven at times. It's still a decent episode for all that.Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-5443424231240337392021-02-20T21:52:50.992-05:002021-02-20T21:52:50.992-05:00Ensign Garrovick has astonishingly broad shoulders...Ensign Garrovick has astonishingly broad shoulders.<br /><br /><br />I have a long standing weakness for good shouldersMikey Heinrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053287699381988084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-3797688352156098232020-06-27T15:14:45.680-04:002020-06-27T15:14:45.680-04:00The version of this episode that's available o...The version of this episode that's available on Netflix looks like it wasn't remastered.Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-80322198873033301072016-09-20T13:47:54.692-04:002016-09-20T13:47:54.692-04:00No love for the pep talk Spock tries (and fails at...No love for the pep talk Spock tries (and fails at) giving the kid? "It's not your fault because you're a human and humans just suck"? All while the kid is being polite but obviously wishing he would go away? I thought it was hilarious. Worst pep talk ever.

Understandable. McCoy was quite fearsome in his 'chat' with the captain as well; it's good to see how he effectively pulled rank.tinkapusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741716703254697998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-18359185027045737512011-02-21T18:20:54.531-05:002011-02-21T18:20:54.531-05:00I saw this episode as a child and it hunted me in ...I saw this episode as a child and it hunted me in my dreams for years.

There have been enough movies and TV episodes with the noble sacrifice of a character, nice to see Kirk say that he had no intention of dying with the creature.<br /><br />As far as the number of budget-saving habitable planets they visit, "Balance of Terror" helps out:<br /><i>McCoy: Something I seldom say to a customer, Jim. In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that and perhaps more, only one of each of us. Don't destroy the one named Kirk.</i>Marknoreply@blogger.com
