One of those ones I don't think of often, but when I watch it - "Hot damn, that was good". Like Doomsday Machine, it's based off of Moby Dick - this time Kirk chasing a creature that attacked a ship he served on as pic.twitter.com/tl7mO5rxso

a junior officer. Liked Shatner's performance. Still had a bit of "Shatner-ism" to it, but it worked. Once the thing gets off the planet, this kicks into high gear, and we get a space chase, which I loved. pic.twitter.com/BkOsVheohf
