One of the top five episodes. Spock gets sick and must go back to Vulcan. Cool episode, where Spock must mate and follows a wild ritual where Kirk must face Spock in a battle to the death. A bizarre episode that has the viewer guessing what will happen next. The fight music with Spock and Kirk is memorable. There is McCoy/Kirk synergy with the Amok Time episode. McCoy make great comic relief for tense situations for the Star Trek series. The Vulcan plant, culture, back grounds, and sets create and exotic feel which melds perfect the Vulcan characters. A memorable episode. 9 out of 10 stars.
