TOS The Doomsday Machine -- Review

[charlesnaismith]

 

G: 5 stars - Great episode, the plot was interesting, everyone was in character and there were some great interactions between Spock, Commodore Decker, Kirk and the rest of the crew. Commodore Decker is a great character, whose actions show what felt like very realistic bias. Nice to see Kirk wield tools when necessary too.

 

C: 4.5 stars - Exceedingly weak end banter, genuinely illogical decisions by the commodore, enjoyable interactions to get rid of an interfering outside officer. I liked the problem solving parts and there were a variety of them where everyone was competent at their jobs. This one felt like a next gen episode.
