    Whats your problem guys ?
    Once again this episode have the misfortune to be a season 2 episode and people love to hate later Season in TV show's.

    " Friday's child" is one of the best Star trek, a very Solid plot fuel with suspence , ennemy emotion good interactions between the 3 heros.

    Great to see Scotty on command.

    Put this episode in Season 1 and people would rate it 8/10 my vote 8 5/10.
