Interesting early episode (the second broadcast) in which a teenager exhibits uncontrollable power over Kirk and the Starship Enterprise, confused by feelings for Yeoman Janice (Grace Lee Whiney). Distinguished by the performance of Robert Walker Jr (then 26 ish) as the intense young man. Also features Uhuru singing a cheeky song about Spock, with which he looks fairly uncomfortable.
Walker was in Young Billy Young, Ensign Pulver, The War Wagon and Easy Rider.
Screenplay by D.C. Fontana from Gene Rodenberry idea. Music Fred Steiner, photography Jerry Finnerman.
I must say they have preserved the series well - it looks sharp and colourful.
