Episode numbers as per Netflix streaming, cuz it’s easier for me.
No moral ambiguity here…dumb, evil creature kills other creatures. Sole purpose of creature’s life: self-preservation. LaVey’s fav episode.
Said creature fails to generate any sympathy because it’s so evil and it dies because it’s so dumb. I mean, here’s a flippin’ idea: go to the mess hall and order salt. Or say “Hi, I’m an alien, I need salt”.
Highlights:
Riley! briefly…no dialogue…
Yeoman Rand…too bad G.R. didn’t date her instead
Lowlights:
incredibly lame search noises
salt stupidity…it can almost TASTE it!
lame stun effect
a rather weak ending
Spockism: “Fortunately my ancestors spawned in another ocean than yours did.”
