I enjoyed this episode when it was originally broadcast, and I still enjoy it every time it rewatch it.
In reality aliens would be far stranger then the characters we see on any Star Trek episodes. A race that enjoys games above all else is within reason.
I chose to judge this episode like any episode of any show I watch. Was it interesting? Was it different? Was it fun to watch? Yes on all counts.
As an episode that is about diplomatic relations (my least favorite Star Trek plot), this stands out as one of the best. It wasn't boring, or preachy. It also wasn't just a tired old sci-fi story repackaged. I'd rather watch this episode then one where the Enterprise has to shuttle diplomats between planets, for some reason.
Anyone for a game of Jumanji?
