127: '''The Alternative Factor''' ''[[1967]] [[March 23]]'' | 127: '''The Alternative Factor''' ''[[1967]] [[March 23]]'' | ||
Sorry, this episode just loses me. That there's two versions of this guy trading places, OK idea. But... the eventual danger they talk about is what will happen if the matter and antimatter versions meet. However, they've been going at this a while and it hasn't happened. They end up at each other's throats indefinitely and it doesn't happen. When was it supposed to happen? And wouldn't locking them ''together'' make something like that ''more'' likely instead of less? | |||
Also silly-points to paranoid Kirk and the admiral or commodore or whoever at Starfleet he was talking to. An unknown phenomena occurs, and his ''best guess'' at what it means is that it's a prelude to invasion? That's your #1 guess with nothing to go on? Sure, it might be a good idea to take precautions in case that is what's going on, but they think that's the most likely scenario? | |||
I also wonder if that effect (all gravity/magnetism/other such things momentarily not functioning) was really galaxy-wide or universe-wide as they suggested? And if so, what awful effects might it have caused far beyond the scope of this episode? | |||
Also, what was with the talk of the Lazaruses (Lazari?) fighting for eternity, until the end of time? Unless I missed something, they're still fairly normal humanoids. Won't they just starve and dehydrate pretty quickly? | |||

Great episode, but it bugs me that their ultimate purpose is to save the future by nipping a peace movement in the bud. Spock says something about Edit having "the right idea at the wrong time", but it still seems awfully militaristic. | |||
