    This episode presents some interesting ethical issues, but I don’t think it really explores them enough. Mostly just dumb and fun.

    I was horrified at the end when Pike said “I would have done the same in her place” because what she did was commit mass genocide approaching the scale of Kevin “we have no law to fit your crime” Uxbridge.

      IMO the scene of Pike making serious faces to show he was debating whether to intervene probably would have been better if some second character like Spock had interjected that maybe this planet was destined to be destroyed like Edith Keeler in “City on the Edge of Forever”.
