121- Return of the Archons:-Premise: The crew, investigating the dissapearance of another ship from 100 years ago, encounter a world being brainwashed into a peaceful and tranquil society.
-Quest Comments: I liked this one- though not as much as others. Still, I got a crack out of the "You will be absorbed!" line, if only because I had that line as a sound file on my computer lonnng ago (probably about 10 years at least) that I had downloaded off of AOL, but never knew where it was from.
Anyways, the only major problem with the episode is the "festival" riots that played a prominent role in the early part of the episode was never explained, so it comes across as pretty random after all is said and done. Another "OK Episode, But Not Necessarily Essential".
Bit of trivia: this is the first time they mention the prime directive and the first time Kirk talks a computer to death. Kirk: 1, Computers: 0.
122- Space Seed:-Premise: Episode to which Wrath of Khan is the sequel to. The Enterprise discovers a sleeper ship carrying several enahnced humans aboard- including one Khan Noonien Singh.
-Quest Comments: KHAAAAAANNNN!!!!! Though the chick who falls for Khan is written too weak for my tastes, her addiction to him is played well. Any complaints aside- Khan is cool, and watching Ricardo play him is just fun. With it being the basis for Star Trek II, it, above any other episode in this series, so far as I can tell, is Definite;y Essential.
