Everyone goes insane. FACTS: ====== - Spock cries. - Sulu fancies himself a swashbuckler. - Sulu makes a play for Uhura. - They go back in time. - Nurse Chapel has the hots for Spock. - They have to cold-start the engines. - Kevin Thomas Reiley is this week's dork. OPINIONS: ========= Another wonderful episode where the actors are allowed to step outside of their usual personas. They show a clock when they go back in time. The clock is one of those old "spinning dials with numbers on it" type digital clocks. The label on it says "minutes", but in "The Savage Curtain", Lincoln asks if they still use minutes, and Kirk says "we can convert".
