Kirk the God and the Asteroid
Season 3, episode 3. The Enterprise has approached an unknown planet that is Earth-like. Kirk, Spock and Bones beam down. They have 30 minutes to leave and deflect the asteroid before it hits the planet. They find a strange obelisk of unknown origin then they walk off to look at the inhabitants to find they appear to be like Earth's Native Americans. Kirk goes back to the obelisk before beaming back up and it opens up, he slides down and is struck by what appears to be electricity or lightening. The Enterprise cannot find Kirk, nor can Spock and McCoy. That leaves Spock in command and he orders them to leave the planet and to deflect the asteroid. McCoy protests but Spock reminds him that all will die on the planet including Kirk if they do not deflect the asteroid and they beam back aboard and leave. Kirk arises from the obelisk, not remembering anything and 2 native girls sees him and thinks he's a god. The two girls bring Kirk back to their village and all of them treat him like as a god. Can Spock and crew deflect the asteroid and get back in time to save Kirk?
Well we all know that Kirk will be saved - no question about it.
Weak episode, not all that good but it is Star Trek so it's not all that bad either. It's hard for me to rate any episode less than a 7 because I love the crew, the dialogue & relationships between each of them no matter how weak the story is.
7/10
