When a visiting psychiatrist and the Captain’s pet get shocked at the edge of the galaxy, their godlike tendencies begin to threaten the ship. But after the perfect amount of tranquilizer gets Mitchell down to Delta Vega, Kirk has to rock his old pal into an early grave. What’s the first thing you should look for at a party? Who plays 3-D checkers? Is there something important that Star Trek has only done once? It’s the episode that measures death on the spectacularness scale!
