SYNOPSIS

A dispute over Sherman’s Planet between Starfleet and the Klingons leads the Enterprise to deep space station K-7, where a shipment of grain destined for the planet is being stored. But the Klingons aren’t the only threat…

REVIEW

AWESOME! This is the first real episode with the Klingons since Errand of Mercy. It’s hard to be really objective about this episode because it is such a part of classic Trek-lore, and visited again in Deep Space Nine.

But, this is the first time they tried to do a comical episode and it worked out really well, a great mix of one-liners and sight gags which doesn’t make this hour seem tedious in either way. Start Trek here!
