70) That Which Survives

Enterprise Incidents with Scott and Steve

When the Enterprise is suddenly hurled 1,000 light years away from a planet it was exploring, Captain Kirk and his landing party are left stranded on its barren surface without food or water. Mr. Spock immediately sets the Enterprise back on course to its original position, but soon realizes that the starship is rigged to explode. In the meantime, Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy and Lt. Sulu must figure out a way to survive the elements while defending themselves against a mysterious woman whose touch means instant death. There's not much to say about "That Which Survives," except for how out of character Spock seems to be when it comes to his condescending treatment of the Bridge crew (the same can be said about Kirk's treatment of Sulu on the planet's surface). But regardless, "That Which Survives" overcomes these flaws to succeed as an entertaining-enough late-3rd Season episode, mostly thanks to the performance of guest star Lee Meriwether as the deadly planetary guard, Losira.
