| Review : | An exact replica of Earth? What? This is a major concern of the crew at the opening of the episode and then it is careless tossed aside, never to be mentioned again. That creates a major shortfall in what I see as an otherwise decent episode. The whole race against time to cure en epidemic concept may be a bit absurd, but I find it fairly effective in creating suspense. | ||

| Review : | I was six when I first saw this, and found the children utterly unrecognisable. That ruined the episode for life. Looking back, I think that the writer should have read "Lord of the Flies" very carefully before starting off. The race against time with the disease at least created tension, which is the one reason why I didn't switch off. At least Miri was a bit more believable than the others, which I suppose says quite a lot for Kim Darby. Still, it's not hard to look like a good actor when surrounded by so many terrible performances. | ||

| Review : | A good episode with an interesting plot and steady pace. Near the end there's one of those rare moments where Spock shows genuine concern for Bones. | ||
