A bottle ep that shows Kirk on trial for negligence for the death of a crewman. I loved theis story because it showed Kirk in bad light. Course you knew it would work out, but I enjoyed the drama just the same. pic.twitter.com/BnRqKryiuG

I did find the moving to the trial to the Enterprise to change the tone - once they did that, it didn't feel like Kirk was in trouble anymore, and I thought that was unrealistic. Still, I enjoyed this ep a lot. pic.twitter.com/otPmCV975j
