| Review : |
An anti-war episode of sorts that is clever and fast moving. It depicts a society that views war in terms of tactics and sterile body counts. The actual horror of war is practically eliminated. Given society's current obsession with video games, the message still resonates. Scotty gets a good role this time out--failing to fall for a simple trick at one point and standing his ground against an overbearing ambassador. In typical Trekian fashion, the villains are depicted sympathetically. Shatner over-acts in parts. It adds to the fun, but detracts slightly from the episode. |
