Just why? This episode just makes me want to stop watching season one and move to later seasons. I never liked Lieutenant Yar. This is just a sad attempt of character development for a dislikable and obnoxious character.
You can skip this episode and not think twice. It introduces the prime directive for the first time, but only shows how flawed and ridiculous it can be. Also, the crew need to find a vaccine for Yar, and the only man that has it is Lutan. Seriously? That is lazy writing, and could be miles better if he could summon super intelligent dolphins that interfere with the enterprise's systems. That would be ridiculous but at least creative.
This review may be bias because of my hate for Yar, but I can't forgive the bad acting and unrealistic story. Seriously? Women fighting to the death for a man in the 24 century? Anyway, watch at your own dismay, unless you like cat fights.
