9/10

One of the very best !

Dont listen to some reviews its just some hater who only love Season 1 from every show then the re just here to hate.

" The deadly Years" is a fantastic piece of TV , with every single thing you Can Ask for a TV show, great plot great acting, suspence, Love the judment of Captain Kirk by Spock... You cannot give this episode less than 8.5 , if you do so you re just a haters and you re opinion doesn't matter.

9/10 IS the rating this ep deserve.
