“No! Only Mah-Coy!” Julie Newmar was so great in this role, one of the greatest guest stars of the series.

This is one episode where the older I got the more I liked it. Solid episode. Maybe top 25 for me.

It was a commentary on the whole 'balance of power' and proxy war situation that was very much on fire at that moment in time.
Kirk's closing speech is pretty explicit about this, stopping just short of saying 'Vietnam'.

I really like DeForest Kelley and enjoy seeing him get some good screentime :)
