Strange New TOS
Two good episodes in a row, for the first time since "Those Old Scientists" and "Under the Cloak of War" in season 2.
A real recommendation for a Pre-TOS series. Strong interactions between the cast, familiar dynamics, it was just really fun.
At the same time, however, the other half of the episode was entertaining and intellectually and morally challenging. The concept presented to us, the casual genre mix, and a big question that makes you think back to Voyager-the episode demands a lot, but it also shows a lot and gives a lot back. A little uneven in places, but the questions remain at the end, and that's a good thing.
