Star Trek: That Which Survives (1969)
Season 3, Episode 17
7/10
A Grumpy Spock
6 September 2021
If Spock would have been like this in every episode he would have been one of the biggest A-ho's in TV history. Either the writer got carried away and didn't realize how badly Spock would come off or he was trying to sabotage the popularity of Spock. I guess we'll never know.

But even with that it's an intriguing episode about death, beauty, and survival. And about hopes that never come true no matter how long you wait. There might be some of us who can relate to that.

Lee Meriwether is terrific as the alien being who keeps trying to kill everybody. Beauty is one of the few good things in life, but what if the beauty is trying to kill you? Well, then beauty is no bargain. And must be dealt with. But how...

Enjoyable episode outside of the oddly grumpy Spock. Season 3 on the whole is underrated I do believe.
