Following a distress call of the Intrepid, a ship manned exclusively by
Vulcans, the Enterprise detects a hole in space that has apparently sucked
the Intrepid in and destroyed it. And before you know it, the Enterprise
is sucked in as well - into some place where there are no stars, and
that's eventually found out to be the doing of a giant space amoeba. Kirk
(William Shatner) asks his science officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy) for
advice, but Spock claims insufficient data and reasons if a ship full of
Vulcans couldn't get out of this predicament using logic, how's he to
solve the puzzle - and eventually he goes so far as to suggest to Kirk to
react to his hunches. And Kirk figures the only way to save the ship is to
place a bomb at the amoeba's center, a bomb that has to be placed via
shuttle, a shuttle Spock volunteers to fly, even if it's a suicide
mission. Actually, Kirk is so unsure that this will succeed that he
records his own epitaph - but of course it works, they manage to blow up
the amoeba and even save Spock ... Frankly, one of the less
enjoyable episodes of the series, as it's pretty much dead serious from
beginning to end, features too much talk and too little action, that the
episode's mostly set on the bridge of the Enterprise makes it lacking in
visuals, and let's face it, an amoeba just isn't a good villain.
