   I was very pleasantly surprised to find another episode so soon after    
   the last one. It was still a few months and I'd be delirious with joy if    
   they were coming out a lot more frequently but I'll take what they can    
   give. I'd expected it to be several more months before we saw another    
   episode.   
      
   I really liked the script this time and thought it was a worthy    
   successor to Mirror, Mirror. Unfortunately, Jerome Bixby, who wrote that    
   episode, is gone but I'd like to think his spirit has seen it and is    
   pleased somehow....   
      
   One major nit: they made a major error in having Chekhov go back to the    
   agony booth then put him in the group that was trying to capture Spock    
   and Scotty. That was completely illogical. They should have sent a    
   different character OR explained that Chekhov was going to get the    
   chance of earning evil Kirk's trust again by helping arrest the mutineers.   
      
   It was an interesting turnaround to show the ship's councillor as the    
   floozie this time around and have Lt. Moreau be (apparently) monogamous.   
      
   I loved the way the scene on the shuttle deck ended with Spock throwing    
   good Kirk's words back in evil Kirk's face :-)   
      
   I give the writers full credit for trying something very ambitious and    
   difficult: trying to show how a tyranny might fall apart rather quickly    
   once the first visible crack appears. Very few writers would have dared    
   do anything quite that big and almost none in a mere 42 minutes. Very    
   well done, all things considered!
