The Mark of Gideon, TOS 3
1/2
I’m all for suspension of disbelief, but this episode just asks too much of us. If a planet it so overpopulated that citizens bounce around off of each other like pinballs, how do they have the space to create a full-sized replica of the Enterprise? And is baffling Kirk in order to have him not notice blood has been taken from him really the best way to euthanize the populace? Can’t these people just keep it in their pants for a few years?!? Completely idiotic! (Although minor props for having the “happy” ending conclude with an eerie ode to volunteer suicide.) Creepy ending aside, this episode is a disaster.
Could not agree more! This one was dumber than Spocks Brain to me. There was no logic for any part of this one. Silly from start to finish. I have had better throwing up sessions than this.
LOL
