Quite often appears an awkward episode, this is one of them, Kirk & Spoke and the Enterprise's crew are in a unknown planet surveying a rarest high stiffness mineral Tritanium twenty times harder than diamonds, when sudden appears a moving cloud that leaves in the air a sweet smell of honey, it's sound a smell that Kirk already felt at eleven years ago when was newly formed at academy of officers serving aboard of the USS Farragut, under orders of the Commander Garrovich, when such life form came out from nowhere, just few seconds of wavering of the young Officer Kirk many lives were lost forever, thereafter Kirk has been haunted by those past events, they get back when the strange mist that killed two crew's members and another is seriously wounded, the corpses outwardly all blood is drain out.
Back at Enterprise Captain Kirk is warned that has a mission to accomplish, he must head to a rendezvous point with the USS Yorktown to deliver a cargo of medical supplies according order of the Starfleet's command without delay, instead Kirk demands another task force to the planet under many complains of Spoke and Bone, he takes also the Ensign Garrovich (Richard Brooks) son of the old commander to this dangerous quest, Kirk's order is shot at first signal of the mist, sadly Garrovich froze in a flash allowing that such cloud monster kills the support crew members and suck their blood, Kirk is utterly obsess by Garrovich's fails and demand him off duty, meanwhile the Enterprise's radar points out the large cloud moving to outer space, even against the pleadings of the crew's members also suggesting some Kirk's mental disorder he pursued such being.
Even underneath of such oddity about a moving cloud be a sort of living being feeding of the iron enclosed on the human blood, the smart writer Art Wallace exposes a brainy dialogues on the field of the quantum science, the matter and antimatter which the outcome takes place, anyway at least we'd a rare chance to see the Vulkan asking for Bone's opinion, really outstanding moment to relief on the bizarre episode!!
Thanks for reading.
