Star Trek was made around the time of “peak human”.
In the 1960s, humans could do things like “go to the moon” and then do it 5 more times just to be sure.
It was one of the best episodes.
I preferred “Mirror, Mirror”. What’s not to like about an evil Spock?
Enterprise did a similar multipart episode called In the Mirror Darkly, even bringing in James Cromwell to do a special intro.
Another episode that was not done by Gene Roddenberry.
Oh Jeez, the Melvin’s are back. You guys should form a garage band.
I don’t suppose anyone wants to criticize William Shatner for being a bit of a touchy-feely old dude who likes the looks of (pretty) women. Probably because of his political religion that we don’t hear more about it.
Not one mention of the author of the episode, the great Sci-Fi author Harlan Ellison, or his controversy with Gene Roddenberry’s changes to his screenplay. Maybe actors aren’t made aware of these things.
