One of the best early episodes...tense, exciting...and the crafty mind of James T. Kirk at work. His ability to outmaneuver foes is on display here...and will come in handy later on!
However...McCoy dressing down the captain on the bridge in front of the crew (the SECOND time so far in the series) wouldn't be tolerated. He'll be reprimanded for sure...then they'll share a glass of Romulan ale and all will be forgotten...he's too good to lose.
Nice byplay by the crew, including Scotty on the bridge (shouldn't he be down in engineering during a life-or-death crisis?)...add in a surprise appearance by Opie's brother and you've got a royal flush. Oh, and Yeoman Rand bringing coffee to the captain in the middle of all this? It's not a leisurely Sunday cruise around the galaxy here...and how did she not spill it with all of the shaking and rocking??? As Spock would say...it is NOT logical.
Aces up on this one...you'll love it!
