Notes
- The actress who plays “Mea 3” is Barbara Babcock – someone I know well from the TV series “Dallas”.
- One of the computers in the main computer room of the planet looks an awful lot like the same computer that was “Landru” in “Return of the Archons“.

Kirk doesn't talk a computer to death in this one, but he does blow it up. Said computer is one that controls a long standing war between two planets, as Kirk has deemed the scenario bad. The entire ep pic.twitter.com/aHjV7EfQIp

is a commentary on the horrors of war. These planets have removed the ugly parts of war, but left the war going. Kirk shows them the ugly parts again. Decent social commentary episode. pic.twitter.com/nbKPQPaeRb
