while there be some very good episode during the last season of star trek and there be probably just as many disappointment probably because they know the series be on it last leg and no one in charge really seem to care . while a score of 4 look almost average and for star trek it be not and the episode be completely forgettable due to poor writing and an abundance of plot hole . kirk be beam down to a planet to negotiate some sort of treaty or something but instead arrive in an exact duplicate . he all alone until later a lady appear and say she and too and have no idea how she get there . at the same time and the crew of the enterprise be worry since they lose contact with kirk and the official on the planet say they have no idea where he be but also obviously hinder the investigation . i will jump ahead and explain the why and a you shouldn not have to watch this episode it that dumb . it seem that the planet be actually so overwhelmingly overpopulate because they have no natural disease that they want to kidnap kirk and take germ from him and introduce them to the woman make her sort of like a typhoid mary who will help reduce the population through illness instead of institute reasonable birth control . huh . this make no sense on so many level . first and why the ruse . they could have get germ from almost anywhere why spend a fortune duplicate the enterprise down to every minute detail and kidnap the captain . second and if the believe so strongly against birth control and maybe they should consider celibacy or push each other in front of bus . third and if the planet be absolutely choke with people and why build the enterprise where will you put it . fourth and why not start a war and kill of some people like we human would have do .
