[TOS] Season 3, Episode 8: For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched The Sky
Rating: 2
By this point in the series some ideas are really starting to get recycled. (I’m looking at you, secret nefarious super computer that rules over a people like a god)

Notes:
Bones says he has a disease that has no cure! He has a year to live!
Enterprise comes across a ship that looks like an asteroid from the outside and from the inside people think they’re on a planet
Sometimes I think it would be hard to make dumber looking costumes than what they have people wear in Star Trek
Kirk, Bones and Spock are captured and taken to see “the oracle”
“Learn what it means to be our enemy before you learn what it means to be our friend”. Not a great strategy for making friends.
They meet an old guy that said he climbed the highest mountain and he touched the fake sky. Why would the people who made this ship even make a mountain that could reach the sky?
Whenever he thinks about something he isn’t supposed to think about, something inflicts him with hilarious pain
The high priestess seems to like Bones
Bones decides to stay behind and become one of them.
There’s a book that explains everything, but no one is allowed to look at it. I smell a scam.
Bones tries to tell Kirk about the book but the oracle punishes him
Kirk and Spock check out the book and the oracle tries to melt them
The book shows how to get past the oracle, which is of course a super computer, which is of course a wall with some lights on it. They learn how to steer the asteroid/ship so it won’t hit a planet
Oh, and Bones is better now
