Kirk and his posse. While Kirk never hesitated to let the phasers --or the Poilsh Hammers-- fly, rarely did he end up wiping out opponents who themselves were in dire need. He wound up re-educating them, saving them, albeit usually with his fists.Kirk only really destroyed 'impersonal' enemies --the Space Amoeba, the Neutronium Log {now in vanilla and chocolate swirl} and the flying omelette-parasites on Deneva. Or machines; like M5 and Landru...Most episodes of old Trek ended with speech-making, not explosions that consumed the entirety of the episodes antagonists.So what show, exactly, did this episode "get back too"? It's different from Next Gen {which could be deadly dull}, but it isn't much like TOS, either {not that I thought it was a bad episode, per se}.</blockquote>
