@alexlimberg Did they actually say "teleported" ? I just watched the episode and didn't notice. Kirk's first log entry says the ship went missing 200 years ago. Nothing further. But you've got a point anyway. Even with Warp drive it should take a long time to get there. And back for that matter. Seven years to cross just one quadrant for Voyager (which is a faster ship). Ah, well it's the sixties - no one cared for that stuff.

Good plot in a way: the conflict between mind (Spock) and feelings (the psychologist); the burden of command: friendship and comradeship vs. doing what's right for the starship. I'm getting a bit tired of aliens with supernatural, mind-manipulating/telepathic powers disguising as humans though. I mean he's not really an alien. It's a mutation that turned an old comrade of Kirk into a dangerous foe. And Kirk does what Kirk does: a mano a mano solo til death. Who needs a crew anyway if you have two fists and a huge laser phallus.
Plus, I don't understand how they found their way back. Didn't they say the Enterprise was teleported light years across the galaxy? Or did I miss that? Or was that only the ancient ship that suffered that fate?
