Solid original Star Trek stuff, in essence.
Judge for yourself:
Yes, but the episode has more of an
Inner Light from TNG feel to me.
Here's a piece of trivia you might find interesting:
Beginning at the 8:20 mark, the dialogue goes as follows:
Union sergeant:
Who Are you?
"Corporal" Kirk:
Kirk. James.
Union sergeant:
Tenth Pennsylvania Reserves?
"Corporal" Kirk:
That's right.
Union sergeant:
I thought you was a Lieutenant Colonel.
The reason he says that is that there actually was a James Kirk who was a Lt. Colonel with the Tenth Pennsylvania Reserves who fought during the Civil War, albeit not at Antietam. And more specifically, his name was James T. Kirk.
