Rating: 3.0
Miss and Hit
'For the World is Hollow and I have Touched the Sky' may well be one of the reasons that the Original Series was cancelled. It is a very ordinary story which you cannot really feel part of. Yes it does allow McCoy to have a romance, but everything is so uninvolving you feel it is a waste of resources all round. 'The Day of the Dove' is much better. It perhaps shows for the first time that there is more to the Klingons than just being the enemy, looking for advantage over the Federation at any opportunity. They only do this of course once they realize that they are being manipulated by a malevolent creature. I gave three stars but by episode it should be 1.5 for the first and 4 for the second.
