"...but I must point out that the possibilities - the potential for knowledge and advancement - is equally great. Risk. Risk is our business! That's what this starship is all about. That's why we're aboard her!"
Easily the episode's best moment and one of the great speeches of Star Trek. Between wits impassioned delivery and the scene with Kirk being possessed, there's some nice Shatner overacting here.
Outside of that, this is a pretty average episode offering a good story about ancient beings needing new bodies to live on. And also a youthful Diana Muldaur and Spock as a bad guy.
But it's never as good after Kirk's big plea.
6/10
