consider that this bad episode follow another horrid episode ( the one about the crew fight it out at the ok corral ) and it be obvious that the quality of the show be start to slip . despite the one very glowing review so far and it must be hard for reader to know what to make of the show since they only two review be polar opposite . read on and decide for yourself . the enterprise respond to a distress call which turn out to be a trap by some klingons . through some odd coincidence that few seem to question and many klingons be beam aboard the enterprise and an all out war erupts complete with sword and other ancient weapon . all the phasers magically have disappear and the deck have be seal off sort of like an arena . and and when people die and they magically heal themselves and fight on and on and on all to the delight of a spin ball of light that look like it be create by spin a prism . eventually and kirk be able to get himself out of his battle frenzy that be impose by the spin ball and convinces everyone to just be pal and laugh the problem away at which point and brotherhood and the chorus of kumbaya drive away the evil force and all be back to normal ( okay and the kumbaya thing do not happen but it be almost that bad . ) . i feel myself gag a i type yecch what a preachy and stupid episode . it sure could have be good if they have keep the plot but give it some decent resolution that wasn not so cloy as well a good special effect to represent the creature . this be probably in the top five of the bad star trek episode .
