Jack's Review
Another worthy entry into what has become arguably the best first season of any Star Trek show. This episode is clearly an homage to Aliens and Alien 3. My negatives this round - The changes to the Gorn species are significant, Spock continues to open his emotional Pandora's Box, and Sam Kirk shows that he is really not suited for Starfleet or his chosen profession. The episode is still loads of fun with a very touching finale. The only thing I really docked points for here is the continued criminal under use of Ortegas and Una.
