This episode really ramped up in intensity as it moved along, towards a terrific cliffhanger.
Joanne Linville's daughter is her spitting image, and while she's not quite the actress her mother was (who studied under Stella Adler), she did a fine job, and it was absolutely brilliant casting!
The planet surface set was awesome, and I wish they'd had it earlier in the series.
The fight was retro-awesome, but I do wish Kirk or Spock would do the hands-clasped together hammer punch on someone's back! (That was always my favorite attack move, because it is so utterly ineffective in real life! LOL)
I also would've had the red-shirt die. I would've had the landing party split up, and the Automated Avenger sneak up an kill the red-shirt. Then have Kirk and Spock run to his scream, finding him dead, and no one or no thing around. Then, twenty seconds or so later, they'd be attacked by the AA, and would battle it out just as they did in the episode.
Can't wait for Part 2 ! Although, my anticipation is bittersweet, knowing it will be the last hour of this amazing series Vic's given us. (I wanna re-watch part 1, but will wait 'til part 2 comes out in three weeks, so it's fresh on my mind.)
