tmbreckWarning: Heavy on the graphics.
And we're back to walking with Rand!
Wait, she gets ogled this episode as well! And, also, turns out she was eating some of Sulu's food.
I feel privileged, we did get some character filling. We find out Rand and Sulu seem to be friends.
I'll be honest, this one's just here because I love Uhura's walk in this for some reason, and I had to point out that he's wearing blue linen overalls. Just... really?
Let us all take a moment to appreciate this. Kirk obviously is.
I feel this speaks for itself.
Let us count the women in trousers. This doesn't happen all that often. Okay, it's two, but that was two more than I was expecting! So trouser'd women in Star Trek is very much canon in TOS! It's the small victories, sometimes.
I'm wondering if the slow and lethargic speaking is supposed to be a signal that the creature is running out of energy, or what. What's that? I'm the only one wondering? Okay.
Kirk seems to have put an awful lot of thought into what all you could do with a person/creature who could become anyone.
I can only assume that McCoy does... nothing, really, because he's still under the influence of those red pills. Part of him has to wonder if this is all some trippy dream.
That 'fight' between Spock and Salty was... special. Wonder where he learned that technique.

| Spock: | *thinking* Holy fuck, what is that fucker doing? |
| Kirk: | "Mr. Spock, did you see me running?" |
| Spock: | "Yes sir, excellent zigzag form, not ridiculous in the least. The enemy will never be able to hit you. Just to confirm, Captain, you did specifically state in your will that I would be receiving both the ship and Doctor McCoy, correct?" |

| Spock: | "I trust this will not occur again." |
| Kirk: | "Yes, Bones, you've learned your lesson, haven't you?" |
| McCoy: | *is so never bringing a girlfriend home again* |
