Kirk's Insanity Into The Romulan Territory
Season 3, episode 2. Kirk being extremely stressed out without relief has fallen into a state of temporary insanity. Kirk is very snappy at all crew members and has given orders to cross into the Neutral Zone - Romulan territory. They are met with a Klingon ship approaching them and others surrounding them. The Romulans have acquired Klingon technology. Kirk has violated a major space treaty. The Romulans made a deal 2 crew members as prisoners in exchange for 2 crew members as prisoners. Kirk agrees and the Romulans made good on the exchange. The Romulan Commander is interested in Spock since he is a Vulcan. Spock cannot lie being a Vulcan and tells the truth to the Commander, while an insane Kirk listens. Romulan Commander charges the Enterprise's Kirk with espionage but will not hold the Enterprise's crew responsible. Mr. Scott is left in charge of the Enterprise and will not follow the Romulan Commander's requests - only those of Kirk. Kirk is still mad, Spock is being wooed by the female Romulan Commander and Scotty refuses to budge. Kirk requires McCoy's medical help and the Romulan's allow McCoy to board the ship and attend to Kirk. The tension builds as the conclusion draws near.
It is one of the best Star Trek episodes of all 3 seasons. Some believe that season 3 is by far the worst season but this episode proves differently.
9/10
