The Immunity Syndrome

Season 2, episode 18. The Enterprise is investigating a disruption in the Gamma VII-A solar system. The U.S.S. Intrepid, manned by Vulcans, are in the area and all on board died. Mr. Spock sensed the 400 deaths, being a Vulcan himself. The Enterprise continues it's investigation when they see a dark hole on screen - its' not a black hole, it's not a cloud but what is it? They are being sucked into the hole, the ship's energy is being drained and the members of the Enterprise are being drained of their energy - their lives. Bones volunteers to go out in a shuttle craft to inspect it closer to send back the information to the ship. Spock steps up and insists that he is for the job physically. Kirk insists that it is his decision. What is this Amoeba-like creature? Who will Kirk send out on the suicide mission?

I like this episode... the dialogue between "Captain" McCoy and and the always brave Mr. Spock is excellent. I really love their Love-Hate relationship - it's one of the best things about the original series.
