Intelligent plant-based lifeforms, cloning - with some 100 feet tall, eugenics, galaxy conqueror, Spock being Spock no matter what size he is, material that is 600x more dense than lead, plant based giant bats (I think they were bats), plants that move and lay down their own roots and move again, the original crew seeks/finds new life, Scotty at the helm making the tough choices (I always felt he never got enough credit)...
I loved this episode. I'm watching this series for the first time, nearly 50 years later (Nov/2022). This is the Trek I know. It's a time capsule for me. A lesser known series that tries to capture the essence of The Original TV Series in animated form. This episode does a good job of that.
I missed this kind of story-telling. The mystery, the reveals, the pure Sci-fi, the ideas, the thought that goes into building a good story, dialogue that's based on real life/death issues or mysteries you are reacting to.
A lot of today's Sci-fi dialogue are about feelings, discomforts, perceptions.
Some people work best when they are on mission, when they are humanely interacting toward an end goal. Trek was always best when it was about the mission. Even if it never felt that way, they were always on mission. The end goal in this episode's mission? To prevent calamity in the future by healing the present.
