Intelligence report
Another good episode, with the writers really getting in their stride.There're lots of scenes with Sulu, Rand and Uhura, and they all have lots of lines to say and lots of things to do. it's the beginning of the ensemble cast performance which makes Star trek so fulfilling. And there's also a darn good mystery, one which can't be solved with technobabble.
One thing that wins hands down over The next generation is the use of colour. Where today's ships are all psychologically correct muted pastels or Earth tones, the original Enterprise is full of bold primary colours which are much more dramatic and aesthetically fulfilling. And before you ask, yes, I am a bit of a fauvist.
