“I reach.”

[Charles Martel]

The Way To Eden is perhaps the only truly dated episode of the original series. It's a stinker, for sure - in fact, the last few episodes were among the worst. Well, Requiem for Methuselah was sort of okay, because "Nomad" was reincarnated with a few more bits of plastic added - and of course, there was a hot chick.

I just watched the last episode, Turnabout Intruder, a few nights ago. It was the first time in years that I'd seen it - and the first time since the digitally re-mastered scenes were added. The revised closing scene of the Enterprise continuing on its course was excellent and very fitting. Too bad nothing could be done to salvage more of that cringe-inducing episode. There was a minute or two of well-written dialogue - Scotty's comments to McCoy outside of the court-martial proceedings. Everything else could be burned.
