i just do not get some of the big premise of this episode that miranda be so remarkable and and that there anything so ugly it would make you insane . someone here make the remark that maybe it the frequency of the light wave or something rather than it be ugliness . miranda be just a jerk . the episode be slow and inconsistent and way too talky . i also do not quite understand why kolos be an ambassador why doesn not the federation just leave the damn medusan be . there one part i do like and when kolos be speak through spock about the loneliness of the human experience . overall and i love tos and even at it lame and i will always tune in . this episode though mmm and i wouldn not purchase it except for a used copy under $ 3 .
