The Doomsday Machine SEASON 2 EPISODE 6

This starts off with way, way too much technobabble as dialogue, reminding me of some of the poorer NexGen episodes, but after that initial 15 minutes, settles down into something better - handling a massive death-machine AND the issue of a senior officer on a vengeance spree (shades of Ahab). This is the other episode that's kind of a progenitor of the story of Star Trek: The Motion Pictures (along with a stronger contender as daddy to that movie, 'The Changeling'), and interestingly the senior officer in question is Matt Decker, and Decker is the name of the officer who's significant in ST:TMP...).
Reasonable enough (accepting the flaws in the first act), and looks spectacular in the remastered version.
Oh, and no Uhura. Some white girl instead! I missed Uhura a lot. I've grown more attached to her since watching Mirror, Mirror. On this account, I've promoted Mirror Mirror to 'classic' status.
