StarTrek 01.31–Operation: Annihilate!

Masterpiece Science-Fiction Theater

In this episode:

  • an analysis of “Operation: Annihilate!” the last aired episode of Season One of Star Trek
  • a fitting season finale (even though 60s TV did not really do those as we understand them) because it has a grand scale and important character development for all three leads–Kirk, Spock and McCoy–which is unusual
  • a strong science-fiction outing with an alien that spreads “mass insanity” throughout the galaxy–and they look like flying jellyfish.
