[TOS] Season 1, Episode 23 (Netflix: S1 E24): A Taste of Armageddon
Rating: 3
Kirk is great in this episode, which is enough to bring this episode to a 3. What kmight turn people off is a slow plot that depends on our interest in a far-fetched premise.

Notes:

They keep saying that they’re at war, and that there is real danger. Kirk just keeps saying he doesn’t get it. This goes on for way too long. Why won’t they just explain themselves? They have no reason to keep this secret. We have to wait for Spock to basically guess what’s going on.

Even when I convinced myself to go along with the whole silliness about the computerized war, that they would force outsiders to play along is too much.

Anan 7: “What kind of monster are you?” Kirk: “I’m a barbarian. You said it yourself.” Anan 7: “I had hoped I had spoken only figuratively.” Kirk: “Oh no you were quite accurate. I plan to prove it to you”
