			 THE CORBOMITE MANEUVER

PLOT:
=====
To stave off an  attack by  an alien  vessel, Kirk  concocts the now-famous
"Corbomite" bluff.  Charting uncharted space,  the Enterprise  comes upon a
warning buoy in the form of a rotating cube.  They  decide not  to heed its
warning and  continue  onward.    A  short  guy  in huge  ship with smaller
separatable ship  offers tranja  and "demonstrates  superiority" by turning
off visual on the Enterprise.  Spock learns poker and the  art of bluffing.
Bailey is a weapon-happy dork who wants to shoot the buoy and anything else
that moves.

FACTS:
======
 - During the  power outage,  a yeoman  uses a  hand-phaser to heat up some
   coffee.
 - Engine  temperature  reaches  8600  degrees  (6400  is the  maximum safe
   temperature.)
 - This episode has Spock, Sulu, Scotty, Bones, Uhura.
 - Slightly higher oxygen content.
 - Spock says his mother is from Earth.

OPINIONS:
