Reactions and Reviews
Investigating a dead civilization with an operating computer control, the landing party and rescue party are trapped in the underground control center, Spock and an injured Uhura on one side of a forcefield, McCoy and an injured Kirk on the other. McCoy has to operate. Spock determines that he has been mentally attacked, undermining his determination to fight, and is able to overcome the reluctance by drawing on Kirk's will to fight and getting McCoy to curmudgeon him into going on. [1]
'Open Sesame' is still better [than All in the Family]. Spock does something dumb but in character, resulting in him, Kirk, McCoy, and Uhura getting trapped underground in a deserted city. The Captain gets hit by a loose rafter, the air is running out, and their only route of escape lied in a recalcitrant computer that induced fear and pain in tamperers... and then -- and then -- a marvelous suspense piece.
