Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Enterprise is en route to the New Paris colony to deliver much needed medical supplies, needed to counter a plague. It passes Murasaki 312, a quasar like system. Since there is time, Kirk’s standing orders require him to dispatch a scientific team to study the phenomenon. The expedition immediately runs into trouble when it is pulled off course and forced to an emergency landing on Taurus II, then beset by the hulking, homicidal natives of that planet. Can Spock’s purely logical approach to leadership save the expedition and reunite its members with Enterprise?
Our Take
Middle of the road. Watchable, but you’ll forget the details by next episode.
