After 163 reviews, I *finally* get to do TOS. It's the remastered version, and I was amazed. The improved quality of the new effects shots was a little startling, but they spruced up the old film very well, and it fitted together brilliantly. Now, to the episode itself. It may have been the first to air, but it wasn't the strongest offering. You could tell that people were new to it, and things were not quite set out yet. Still, it was certainly intriguing enough to make me want to see it again the first time. There were some decidedly surreal moments, most notably in the conference room with the creature as McCoy discussing it's own capture. Still, it was a bit silly that Crater did not come clean about what had happened right away. Once you spot that, the story makes no sense. Maybe it's just plain surreal. |
