The Trekzone Review
I thought it was time to revisit the original series following Leonard’s passing. I haven’t watched very many episodes in the second and third seasons… so this will be a new experience for me. I think this episode is really where the roots were planted, the characters solidified their friendships here and – of course – Chekov arrives!
