It seems that Captain Kirk (William Shatner) has gone insane as he
steers the Enterprise into the Romulan Neutral Zone, and once there, the
ship is immediately surrounded by three Romulan vessels, which could sneak
up on the Enterprise using a cloaking device. At the behest of the Romulan
Commander (Joanne Linville), Kirk and Spock (Leonard Nimoy) beam over to
the lead Romulan ship, and she is not impressed by Kirk's feeble excuses
as to why the Enterprise entered the Neutral Zone, but she is impressed by
Spock - not all that surprisingly, as the Vulcans and Romulans are sister
species. Spock also seems to develop feelings for her, so much so that
he's willing to give up the Enterprise, and eventually he takes his
treachery so far that he kills Kirk using the Vulcan death grip. But when
beamed back onto the Enterprise, it turns out that Kirk isn't dead at all,
but he and Spock have, under Starfleet orders, made up a plot to steal a
Romulan cloaking device. So Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) surgically turns
Kirk's outward appearance into that of a Romulan, upon which Kirk beams
back aboard the Romulan vessel while Spock stalls the Starfleet commander,
and ... well, of course everything ends in success. There are
some fun touches in this one, like the sexy Romulan Commander, and Spock
falling for her in his own Vulcan way, but overall this is just a
run-of-the-mill episode with the plot too contrived to really convince,
and a few too many leaps of reason to keep up suspension of disbelief.
It's still a fun episode, mind you, but neither as great nor as campy as
the best of them.
