YATI :

Kirk's attempts to use the car are hilarious indeed... but I find it hard to believe that the owner left the keys in it and I find it harder to believe that Kirk didn't simply have the Enterprise beam him to his destination.

Great Moment :

Kirk's on the spot invention of Fizbin is my favourite of the many Great Moments in this episode.

Body Count :

Zero

Factoid :

Ships phasers can be set to stun.

Quote :

"Captain, you are an excellent star ship commander, but as a taxi driver... you leave much to be desired." - Spock to Kirk.
