Review: Overall, a rather enjoyable little episode. The story is a bit weak in spot, and some of the characterizations are almost caricatures in nature. Still, it's nice to see that someone enjoyed putting together the episode. A few clunker moments: Mister Arex is called "Chekov" and speaks with a Russian accent. The triviewer in the briefing room at one point has the dreaded IBM blue screen of death. Kirk and Klingon Commander Klev get drunk at a rather inappropriate time. And lastly, I'm not sure how Kirk's plan would've been all that believable to the Triskelions, who--as someone else as pointed out--have apparently just decided to forget about their original wager with James T. Kirk. Overall, I give this story a solid 72.
