   I enjoyed it while it was a mystery story.  A shrinking crew was fun   
   to see and, again, it's something live action could not have shown,   
   especially the number of interim sizes, unless they constructed a lot   
   of sets.

   Either that or they're trying to keep their wits and apply their minds   
   to the problem without freaking out.  Or it's a reflection of the   
   speed at which TAS plots move, with no time for emotional asides.  And   
   isn't it a little refreshing that the script doesn't insist that Uhura   
   say "I'm frightened"?   
      
   Nurse Chapel falling in the fish tank was rather silly, though, and   
   instead of "jumping the shark" one could say it's where this episode   
   "jumped the halo fish."
