4/10 yikes! And I actually saw this episode not too long ago. Love to watch the original Star Trek episodes on reruns, especially Captain Kirk 😉😊

9/10. Missed #5.
Trivia: Original titles: "Sandoval's Planet," "Power Play," & "The Way of the Spores."
Considered an anti-drug storyline.
Sulu was originally intended to be the focus of this episode as it would be him falling in love.
Outdoors location filming took place for 2 days at Walt Disney Productions Golden Oak Ranch. Jill Ireland became ill, so scenes aboard the Enterprise were then filmed. When Jill recovered, Golden Oak Ranch had another production filming on it, so the Trek production finished up their location shoot in Bronson Canyon.
Sadly, Frank Overton (Elias Sandoval) would pass away at 48 years old just weeks after this episode first aired.

This episode shows how good an actor Leonard Nimoy was.
FLETCH leeroyprice 2 months ago
Agreed. This episode definitely gave Leonard Nimoy a chance to show his range and he nailed it.
