You got 9 out of 10 - Phew... Threat neutralized! I do know my TOS so I thought I would do well. Missed #1, sometimes have trouble remembering the names of the Starships. But I'll take it.

8/10. This was a pretty good episode. Shoulda gotten that last question. It sounds like something Spock would say.

People may need to have it pointed out just how much harder it is to surround something in 3D space than on the ground. You can completely surround a vehicle on a planet's surface with just three units, but if it can go either above or below, you need at least four.
Hence Spock's comment to Kirk in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"
"He is intelligent, but not experienced. His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking."
Further analysis is required.

10/10. If I remember correctly, this episode won a Hugo Award for best science fiction television script, or something like that.

10/10. Entertaining episode. I've read that Leonard Nimoy adlibbed the line about Tholian punctuality.
The Tholian starships spinning their energy web around the Enterprise was an intriguing concept. However, it took them so long that one wonders how often this tactic could be used against another starship? It would work against a disabled vessel, but a craft that can fight or fly away won't be hampered by such a military move.
