I've never actually seen any of the Saw movies, by the way. Anyway:
- How did the record tape get on the table in the first place when the two people involved were transported away?
- This was one of the four TOS cases where someone sent in a script unsolicited and it actually got made into an episode. I wasn't aware you could actually do that!
- Of course, the lifeform is female!
- Clearly saving on the set construction costs here with the minimalist set construction more akin to a theatrical production. I'm reminded of "Spectre of the Gun", which did similar.
- That's a 1960s haircut if ever I've seen one.
- Having walked ten kilometres today, I can tell you that six is not a short distance to walk.
- Of course, Kirk's shirt comes off again! But McCoy's one gets damaged as well.
- This is all rather Swan Lake with the balletic style movements at times. Not that I've ever seen that.
- The Vians are torturing people. In fact, the BBC didn't air this in the original run and not at all until 1994, although Sky One aired shortly before that.
- There's some very good shots here with injuries fading in and out; remember this was pre-CGI.
Conclusion
An alright episode, but not a great one. Clearly a budget saver.
7/10
