to start off and this happen to be my favorite of the st o . in addition to stuoz critical comment i will throw in some more represent get technical and when the enterprise fire it photon torps at a blind target and they would have to be mighty close to direct hit ( i believe ) in order to cause any disturbance much less damage to the romulan vessel with the vacuum of space to contend with . i have somewhat of a problem with the romulan commander question his faith in the romulan protocol or their leadership and unless it have to do with attack vulnerable target ( outpost in the neutral zone ) that be not at war . also and i do not think commander would fall for the basic and or simple tactic that kirk play and such a play dead and or fall for the ploy that the subordinate put on him about whether or not to attack the enterprise when it be play dead . on the enterprise represent i be surprise that after see the romulan vessel method of attack earlier and that sulu would say and be they surrender . when it attack the enterprise the first time . funny how spock can only get the repair do on the weapon control right when the emergency be over . also in the final attack and i think the romulan vessel be uncloaked too long ( so long that spock could run down a couple aisle and back to the weapon room and activate and fire the photon torpedo . i would have use phasers at this point and but i be sure it have to do with the technician and budget ) . on the positive side represent it a good drama play on the romulan vessel and in which to introduce u to the romulans . great scene with stile tell a good deal of the human knowledge of the romulans . also his conflict with spock be right up there . i wish stile character would have stay on the show for a while and if for nothing else than the energy he add . it only in fun that i point out the negative and goof and ( i be sure there be more ) . but for me this be as good a it get . balance of terror be always the one i place at the top in my st ranking .
