This is a pretty "meh" concept - the crew gets taken over by these spores and abandon the Enterprise to live in an idyllic world. It ends up leaving Kirk as the only person left to "save" everyone from pic.twitter.com/45i1ImdJOx

"paradise". The best parts of this by far are watching Nimoy act as Spock with emotions. The scene where Kirk tries to make Spock mad and fights him is fun, but beyond these two the rest is just "eh". pic.twitter.com/A1RoXzPuvn
