Recap of Star Trek TOS 1X09: Balance of Terror

[recapsule]

I dedicate this recap to my friend Steve who adamantly insists that this is the best episode ever. I’d even ask him to guest recap it, but I don’t think he’d do a recap, and besides, I have a feeling the entire thing would read like a love letter to Mark Lenard

Awesome, awesome recap.

Thank you!

Hey, you know a recap is brilliant when you haven't seen the episode in YEARS but it all comes rushing back. Especially Stiles' eyebrows.

Oh god, yeah. He's probably one of the most annoying characters from TOS, only beaten out by Lazurus (the bearded weird guy from The Alternative Factor) and that dwarf guy from Plato's Stepchildren.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This is so brilliant. The references (Princess Bride, Star Wars, TNG...) & just everything. I can't wait for the next Star Trek recap. :D (Are you going in order?) Even though I don't think I've ever seen this particular episode, knowing the series definitely helps.

“He is there… somewhere,” Darth Lenard replies. “I feel it.” I bet on the Enterprise, Spock Skywalker is all “I shouldn’t have come along. I’ve endangered everything!”

Very nice, nietz. This is probably my favorite TOS episode... it always reminds me of a submarine movie.
