Acting was the complete opposite of what it was last weak; way over the top, rather than subtle. Slarr-Slarr Binks was laughable, at best. The last ten to fifteen minutes felt extremely rushed, as if somebody realized that this was only a two-parter at the last minute instead of a three parter. All in all, not ENT at its best and perhaps one of the weakest second-halves to a two parter in Trek history, a failure made all the more glaring by the terrific set-up it had last week.. The only saving grace was, once again, the set design, proving that you can do TOS in the 21st Century without it looking goofy or primitive to modern audiences.
