Star Trek: Season 1

1x23 A Taste of Armageddon

Good story. Good execution. I like the alien planet. Awesome architecture. I like their fashion. I like the whole concept of war down there. It's almost a philosophical approach to war. I like the aliens (they are supposed to be bad but - from their perspective - they are not acting in an irrational or immoral way). Of course they are war criminals from our perspective. I like how the crew back on the Enterprise stays calm and does the right thing. I like that there's a diplomatic/ political angle represented by the ambassador. I like that there's a power struggle between the Federation's political representative and the crew who care primarily about their mission, their ship and the well-being of their crew. As always, Kirk is not my most favorite character. He's very one-dimensional: why to become a philosopher or a diplomat if you're having a pair of healthy fists and a laser gun? It's a very disruptive approach to peace-making to say the least.Based on a gut-feeling.

Btw, Scott is the better Captain. The good Doctor is a solid first officer.

PS: Her dress is spectacular.
