SPOILERS AHOY
---
301: Spock's Brain 1968 September 20
(First watched 2008-04-18) Â "His brain is gone!"
So the man's surviving without his brain. Â Is it REALLY necessary to install a remote-control system to make him walk around?
---
302: The Enterprise Incident
(First watched 2009-04-04) Â Pretty flagrant aggressive action on the part of the Federation here. Â Kirk and Spock use subterfuge to steal the cloaking device, but it's perfectly clear who did it. Â Considering how at odds the Federation and Romulans are, it's surprising this didn't cause some much bigger blowback.

304: The Paradise Syndrome
(First watched 2009-04-08) Â Hey, finally the "I am Kirok!" episode.
I guess this is as close as Kirk gets to a "The Inner Light" situation, living another life, though it doesn't last for decades as for Picard. Â So really in that regard it's more like a couple Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis episodes I can think of.
Busy episode for Kirk, though. Â Becomes a god, medicine man, husband, father-to-be, and widower within the span of one episode.
Was it really such a surprise to Salish that the god Kirok could bleed? Â I mean, he eats and breathes and behaves in all other ways like a regular person. Â Why not bleed? Â Even if he was a god, it would seem he'd taken complete human form in a biological sense.
Spock was talking about the logical choices and all, but he really seemed to blow it by blowing the engines. Â They had to waste 2 months crawling around. Â Perhaps with full power they could've used those two months to devise an alternate plan, or go get more help, rather than requiring last-minute use of a Preserver device.
Preservers are an interesting concept. Â An ancient race that moved life forms around from planet to planet to help things not die off. Â McCoy says it helps explain why there are so many humanoids around, but not really; it would only help explain why there are humans around on other worlds, or whatever other duplicates.
And featuring... white people as Native Americans!

305: And the Children Shall Lead
(First watched 2009-04-09) Â I like the goofiness of being able to summon a spirite/energy being/whatever by just replaying the summoning ceremony's audio. Â I guess we viewers are damned lucky the glowing guy in robes didn't appear for all of us.

309: For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky 1968 November 8
(First watched 2008-04-29) Â Meeting a species for the first time, deciding to stay and marrying one, divorcing one and leaving all on the same day? Â Isn't that a bit fast, Bones?
Having no prior symptoms, discovering you've got a rare condition that gives you one year to live, immediately displaying symptoms, and finding/applying a cure all on the same day? Â Isn't that a bit fast, Bones?
