"Captain, it doesn't even look real!"

The best line is given to that red-shirt female extra. Yup, the little flying pizza monsters are hardly convincing, but at least the sound and flying effects are decent.

"I am the logical choice, there is no other," says Spock.

Is he though? Is he the best option for testing the weapon against the pizza monsters? He is a Vulkan hence different from humans - hence NOT the logical choice. They should have picked a "volunteer" from the million body-snatched colonists.

Kirk hugging his sister-and-law in a colony that was presumed overtaken by contagion... not so smart.

Nevertheless, this is one of the better episodes because more geared toward sci-fi and less toward phony-baloney, trite "social messages" - the usual abhorrent virtue-signaling nonsense.
