Episode Summary

In this tense episode, the USS Enterprise, led by Captain Pike, faces a harrowing situation. Lieutenant La'An Noonien-Singh, haunted by past traumas involving the Gorn, confronts her fears as the ship delivers an atmospheric processor to Finibus Three. Upon arrival, they find the colony devastated, a sinister work of the Gorn. The Enterprise is then cunningly attacked and forced to hide in a brown dwarf's volatile atmosphere. Amidst rising tensions and dwindling resources, La'An and Spock's mind meld reveals crucial insights into the Gorn's tactics. In a bold move, Pike uses a black hole's gravity to slingshot away, narrowly escaping the Gorn but at the cost of Lieutenant Hemmer's life. The crew, while safe for now, mourns their losses and braces for future encounters with their formidable foe.

“How good are you at sewing?”
Another fine episode in the traditional Star Trek style. This time La'an Noonien-Singh is in the limelight during an early encounter with the reptilian Gorn, due to her traumatised experience with them as a child.

All the elements are there, a colony mysteriously attacked, a crippled Enterprise and crew members in jeopardy. Desperate times call for desperate measures and ultimately the ‘Pike manoeuvre’ is born.

Sure there are some dodgy plot flow choices, some contrived danger and a whiff of Deus ex, but again this is ST at its best. A thoroughly exciting, entertaining and enjoyable episode.
