A personal second-tier favorite that I think is overlooked.
A man escapes from a penal “rehab” colony, apparently

The Vulcan mind meld is introduced, albeit somewhat awkwardly.
Highlights:
Van Gelder’s performance
the natural creepiness of Tantalus
Lowlights:
wooden “energize” guy
gently moseying redshirt guard
