SYNOPSIS

Treaty negotiations have proven difficult with planet Gideon, a secretive society that is extremely xenophobic. When the Enterprise is dispatched, Captain Kirk is asked to beam down… but he arrives on an empty version of the ship…

REVIEW

A belligerent alien race wants in to the Federation. Well, after this episode I’d say NO! This is another one of those stories, discussing over population and how it can become a serious issue.
