Reactions and Reviews

This story had an interesting premise but its execution was uneven. I didn't really see the need for the detective, other than as a reference. Spock and Kirk could have found McCoy by themselves, but, I guess, that would have been a different story. What it comes down to is: I just didn't like the detective's personality.
