The Enterprise arrives at Psi-2000, to rescue a science team from the imminent destruction of the planet, only to find that the scientists are all dead. Beaming back to the ship, the landing party unwittingly bring aboard a disease. As it spreads throughout the crew, the ship begins to spiral to destruction as Lieutenant Kevin Riley (Bruce Hyde) shuts down the engines...

Intelligence report

Uhura takes the helm!

Uhura has always been my favourite character in Star trek, perhaps because she represented so many repressed minorities/underdogs, yet she comes out trumps as a Lieutenant in Starfleet: competent, capable, creative, talented and beautiful. That red dress (which started out gold, but was changed because red looked better) did things to my pre-pubescent brain that don't bear thinking about.

Anyhoo, the other best part about this episode is that everyone is exposed to their greatest weakness: Spock's Human emotions, Sulu's wild streak, Kirk's love for his ship. And through it all, their struggle to keep the ship alive. It's a wonderfully tense and dramatic moment in the history of the Enterprise and also a very entertaining one.
