      Kirks hairline is inconsistent. When he first starts aging the hairline is receding, but as he gets much older, his hairline advances again.

    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.
