A very good episode with lots of tension. The writing and dialogue is good and we get to see our first real battle scenario with strategy. Something we only really get with Kirk and is curiously missing by the time we get to tNG.
I'm not sure why the wedding couldn't have been completed while they were in transit. There isn't anything to do until the Enterprise is near the Neutral Zone, so finish up the wedding before going into battle. It would take 10 minutes and transit likely took a hour or two.
The enemy ship is a little cheesy looking with the decal on the bottom and is very generic looking. Like something out of Buck Rodgers or Flash Gordon. No real style or flair like we see in later enemy ships. I'm actually very disappointed with the episode on this point.
All in all, I can wee why this is considered one if the best episodes in all of Star Trek. Not my favorite, but very well done.
