--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 102 THE OMEGA GLORY --------------------------------------------------------------------------- WRITER: Gene Roddenberry GUESTS: Morgan Woodward Toy Jensen Irene Kelley David L. Ross Eddie Paskey Ed McReady Lloyd Kino Morgan Farley AIRED: March 1, 1968 HACK-MAN rating: .440 Usenet rating: .367 QUOTES: ======= - The ham-acting at the end is a pretty good quote by Shatner. THE OMEGA GLORY PLOT: ===== Captain Tracy (who somehow became an officer in Star Fleet) defies Star Fleet Command because he thinks he's found a planet of eternal youth, and decides to meddle in the struggle between the Yangs and the Coms. This alternate Earth has the U.S. flag, some American documents, and a book with a picture of Satan who looks like Spock. Kirk and Spock are in a cell and try to befriend a larger inmate. FACTS: ====== - Alternate Earth. - Captain Tracy is this week's dork. - Defy Star Fleet Command. - Spock sort of uses the Vulcan mind meld across a crowded room. OPINIONS: ========= Shatner's ham-acting is the only real reason to watch this episode. The basic plot isn't all that bad, but the execution of it isn't carried off all that well.
