Whom Gods Destroy (TOS S03E14)

April 29, 2018

The Enterprise arrives at a planet with a poisonous atmosphere. It is a colony for mentally ill people. Kirk and Spock are delivering a drug that can cure all insane people.

Notes

Kirk and Spock have been tricked by a former starship captain and his crew.

Shatner is given a real chance to "Shatner act" in this episode.

I like that Scotty used the chess problem.

A Tellarite and Andorian in the same room together.

A double Vulcan nerve pinch! Not only that, a double Kirk!

Why Spock didn't shoot both Kirks, I don't understand.

This episode was fairly entertaining. There were some lengthy sequences that could have been cut though -- the biggest being Marta's dance sequence which seemed to last forever for no good reason.
