Enterprise Encounters An Alien Being
And Gives A Bluff
Season 1, episode 10. The Enterprise encounters a very dangerous space buoy, a space marker/barrier, and ends up destroying it. Kirk has a choice of going back or to continue forward, he decides to plow forward. All seems fine until they encounter and alien ship, they hail the Enterprise and Commander Balok gives them 10 minutes to be destroyed. Kirk comes up with the idea of a poker game with the aliens and bluffs them with the ship having dangerous (but fictitious) corbomite. The aliens wants proof of it's existence because their scans didn't pick it up and ends up dragging the enterprise with a tractor beam to First Federation space. Some of the crew of the Enterprise beam over to Balok's ship and end up with a pleasant surprise.
Kind of an odd episode but good as usual with a surprise ending.
7/10
