39) The Apple
Manage episode 317047091 series 2938532
While exploring the seemingly idyllic tropical paradise of Gamma Trianguli VI, the Enterprise crew discovers a subservient society of humanoids that worship a powerful godlike machine called Vaal, which cares for its beings and keeps them happy, but also keeps them in a state of arrested development for the sole purpose of serving it. But when Vaal attacks the invading landing party and uses a powerful energy force to pull the Enterprise down from the sky, Captain Kirk takes matters into his own hands and risks violating the Prime Directive in a last-ditch attempt to save his ship and free the natives from Vaal's eternal rule. At its best, "The Apple" qualifies as a subpar episode that's derivative of some of the far more superior episodes that preceded it. But even a subpar episode of "Star Trek" is still an entertaining one, especially one from "Trek's" landmark second season. Such is the case here, thanks to a brisk pace, impressive set design and stellar production values. And upon closer reflection, "The Apple" is a far more compelling and provocative episode than it is often given credit for, especially when you consider that Vaal has only itself to blame for taking its people out of the Garden of Eden.
