Another second-tier favorite.
The Enterprise encounters “Nomad”, a slightly altered version of a known probe that is now seeking out “perfect” life forms and destroying all others. Kirk and company try to deal with it before it kills everyone.
Highlights:
a whole lotta Nomad
Spock’s Nomad indignation
a lot of interesting lines and conflicts
bluey?
the last 10-11 minutes, really
Lowlights:
long mental probing of Nomad
sudden, convenient episode name
Spockism: “Your logic was impeccable, Captain. We are in grave danger.”
