So I wonder what's supposed to have happened after that?  Now that the Talosians have the male and female they wanted, do they actually go about breeding them?  Or considering they're both victims of horrible accidents are they infertile?

113: '''The Conscience of the King''' ''[[]] [[]]''
(First watched 2009-01-22)  I thought this episode had an overall good thing going, but threw in a lot of little stupid.  A governor who felt forced into a horrible action, dead or disappeared?  Is he the actor?  Is he still killing witnesses?
BUT... they seemed to have a hard time deciding whether Anton Karidian and Kodos were the same.  I know this is a Future 60s, but even by the 1960s they had ways of identifying people, and probably some good guesses on how the future could do better.  In this episode they went no further than comparing a recent picture of the actor with an old picture of Kodos, and comparing a recent voice pattern of the actor with an old voice pattern of Kodos.  No DNA testing?  Not even any fingerprinting or testing blood types or dental records?  No comparing pictures of Kodos with ''old'' pictures of the actor?  Yet this drags out through the episode.
I enjoyed seeing Captain Lieutenant Riley again.  Though I don't understand Kirk's motivations in temporarily reassigning him?  It made him more vulnerable.  Was he just trying to keep him completely out of the way so he wouldn't see Kodos on his own by chance and freak out?
Kirk seemed abnormally ticked that Spock figured out what was going on.  Why?  It did no harm, and yes, it is Spock's job to know what the heck is going on around this place.
Spock and McCoy seemed worried that if Kirk is looking for Kodos, he's just going to kill him.  Why immediately assume the worst?  Couldn't he just be planning on jailing him?
