... limitations, the performance of John Colicos as Commander Kor makes for one of the most satisfying adversaries for Kirk in the original series, second only to Ricardo Montalban's Khan in the earlier 'Space Seed.' With its effective use of location filming, memorable final twist and heavy-duty analysis of war, the episode being created when the Cold War was still at its height, this is one of the finer statements on war that the series would ever make, especially in light of its inconsistent treatment further down the line.
