Week 11 & 12

Been a slow two weeks for my Star Trek fix. It was compounded by the fact that my neighbor tilled up my Comcast connection and so I missed a couple nights, on the weekend no less. So for the past two weeks I've only seen 6 episodes. While the content of this batch of episodes is better than the early Season 3 ones, the art direction is still out of wack. I'm not sure who they hired, but the guy should have worked on some Stanley Kubrick wanna-be, not Star Trek. But in any case, there were a few episodes that were thinly veiled exploration of some issues here on planet Earth, such as racism (Let That Be Your Last Battlefield), overpopulation (The Mark of Gideon), and even political marriage (Elaan of Troyius). Definitely an improvement over the last batch.
