TOS: "Balance of Terror"

[lizbee]

Seriously, the A-plot was awesome.  I could have summarised it as "MARK LENARD WILL FUCK YOUR SHIT UP", but I'm saving that for "Journey to Babel" and "Sarek".  Romulans >>>> Klingons any day, which is totally unrelated to the fact that I almost typed "Romana".  Although she >>>> Klingons, too.



With Trek out of the way, I watched more Ashes to Ashes (...Gene is maybe growing on me?  Like a mould?), and half of "The Empty Child".  Verdict, five years later: the script is amazing.  Billie's accent is terrible.  But the reason I only watched half was because I'd reached TV saturation point for the night, even though Blackout left me in the mood for more time travelling-Blitz shenanigans.
