Another great ep. Kirk & crew investigate a mining planet who is having their workers killed off by an unknown creature. The drama here is excellent. The interactions with the creature are great, pic.twitter.com/jccFROa6iM

and in the end we find out it's not a monster, but a mother protecting its children. We get great scenes with Spock and a mild meld. McCoy even chimes in with a "I'm a Doctor not a...." scene. Awesome ep. pic.twitter.com/mACmjIrPvc
