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. | |||
