Feels like Kirk is acting out of character here, chasing the Gorn as far as he does and not really considering diplomacy until the end. He's also a bit stupid, as he looks for futuristic weapons after already being told that he will have to make them. The device he was given is clearly just so that we can have some semblance of captain's log. The fight goes on for far too long and the peanut gallery's commentary doesn't add anything. The process of describing and making the cannon goes on for a while too. Don't really care for the Metrons. Another god like alien, except they don't really have anything cool about them. Setting up the fight reeks of hypocrisy and lecturing Kirk on the advanced trait of mercy seems a bit high and mighty. Two things I do like are the attempt to make peace at the end and the design of the Gorn. Doesn't feel like there was much to this episode. Rather middling in all honesty. --- One can not help but imagine Microsoft as being ran by a thousand Homer Simpsons. -Obturator ... Copied to Clipboard! |
