[TOS] Friday’s Child

[TOS] Season 2, Episode 11 (Netflix: S2 E11): Friday’s Child

Friday's Child
Rating: 3

Your opinion of this episode might depend on how forgiving you are of ridiculous outfits. One of my favorite story telling techniques is to not fill every shot with something that looks stupid. Maybe we’ve seen this one too many times, and are no longer shocked by the costumes, so we’ve started to appreciate the cool things about the episode. We like the situation created between the Klingons and Starfleet, we like some of the aspects of the aliens, and we like Bones.
