I have seen multiple lists of best and worst episodes, and there are almost always episodes on these lists that I would reverse for my list.<br /><br />I enjoyed "The Galileo Seven". It's been a while since I saw it, but, I recalled the focus of the episode being more on Spock's command: how his purely logical approach to command worked when put to the test in a critical situation, and especially how it worked (or failed to work) with the emotional qualities of his crew and the aliens. I thought this was an excellent commentary on leadership, and the neccesity of a commander tailoring his leadership to his situation and surroundigs.<br /><br />I would have to re-watch the episode to comment on Kirk's dillema. I don't seem to recall that Kirk felt he was in danger of not reaching the destination planet in time to save it.<br /><br />The spears were a little goofy, but that is something I expect to an extent in original Star Trek. If it wasn't a little campy, it wouldn't be Star Trek. Remember, this was the '60s.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470101612455977485noreply@blogger.com
