Well, "enjoyed it" doesn't mean things were all smart. I agree with what you said about Cogley*, and even Spock's discovery of the computer problem seems most illogical, why would editing the bridge log affect the chess game anyway?Stofsk wrote:Barf. It's Perry Mason IN SPAAAAAAACE and really, really dumb.
I got called to jury duty a couple years ago and in the selection process the defense attorney asked me "if I just sat there the whole trial, saying nothing, calling no witnesses, what would you think?" and I said "that you weren't doing your job" and she dismissed me after that round. Of course, I understand that the burden of proof is on the prosecution, so in theory, if they fail to make their case, the defense need not do anything, acquittal is the default verdict - innocent until proven guilty.
But in reality, the prosecution, when unopposed, can spin virtually ANYTHING to a jury to make someone look guilty. That's why people have a right to competent defense.
(BTW that defendant is now in prison.)
So while watching the episode, I was thinking about that and was not impressed.... but I liked Kirk in the episode. His statement of "I'd do it again because it was proper steps in the proper order" was cool and the insight into his backstory was interesting too.
oh absolutely, and canceling out the heartbeats, come on just turn off the mic on the bridge, that's where everyone is that's supposed to be there.for some reason they evacuate the ship bar one person who's been ALIVE THE WHOLE TIME DUN DUN DUN. Except the episode never bothers to explain how Ben Finney was alive or been staying alive without detection all this time.
though the season 2 opening theme is different, eh, no big deal.
