125: '''The Devil in the Dark''' ''[[1967]] [[March 9]]''
Though everyone (but Spock) started out a bit blood-thirsty, this becomes a really positive sort of Trek story.  Two species so different they're not even based on the same element start a relationship of accidental murder and retaliatory murder, but manage to reach an understanding and peace once a means of communication (Spock again) becomes available.
I notice his Vulcan telepathic capabilities seem stronger than Vulcan stuff I'm more familiar with.  A few episodes back he controlled a guard on the other side of a door, and in this one he established a lower-level mind meld with the Horta from a small distance away.  To get the best connection he had to place his hands on it, though.
McCoy's line on patching up the Horta with thermal concrete was great.  "''By golly Jim, I'm beginning to think I can cure a rainy day!''"
There must be something really weird about Janus VI to cause the Hortas to evolve such a weird trait as a mass die-off and birth of a new generation with a single protector every 50,000 years.
