Dudes you don’t understand what was going on in the 60’s I lived in it, there was a great change happening, and this episode brought it to light, that a change was coming, and the young people were the threat to lead it. But the establishment was afraid bratified them and curtailed it. Gene Roddenberry had a great insight into the future. He hoped the new generation would lead it.

9/10 I couldn't remember who was going to shoot Kirk.
One of the children in this episode, Steve, was played by (Melvin) Caesar Belli. He was the son of Melvin Belli (the Gorgon).

10/10 563/590. Between this episode and "Miri", if there ever were a group of brats that I wanted to spank.......

I once read that the writer for this episode told people that it was going to be the one that would make up for the failure he considered "Miri" to be.

That should have been their first warning.

9/10
I work with Children, but those kids............no way.

Trivia- The "Angel" was played by the famous lawyer Melvin Belli.

Perry Mason was more famous.

Yes, I'll take fictional Perry Mason over Belli any day of the week.

True. Melvin Belli is known as the “Father of Demonstrative Evidence." His extensive use of visual aids significantly influenced how lawyers present cases in court.
