The episode has its moments.
No. Actually not. It has no redeeming moments. The plot makes little sense. The planet is overpopulated but their only solution is to introduce disease instead of controlling the birth rate-even though they dislike birth control.
Somehow they have the power to create an Enterprise mock up with working computers, mechanics, and other systems.
They don't know what pain is yet they obviously have nerves and function like humans otherwise.
Capturing Kirk as an infectious agent didn't require a fake starship.
There are so many other ways the basic plot could have been implemented.
