Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLeonard Nimoy explained that when he complained about the script to Fred Freiberger, Freiberger said, "This script is going to be what 'Miri' should have been". Nimoy objected, calling Miri (1966) a beautiful, well-acted story, and felt that Freiberger's comments were as much as saying, "'Miri' was a piece of trash".
- GoofsThe transporter was used to send a security detail down to the planet. The red shirt controlling the transporter was not under the control of the children, so he would have noticed that the Enterprise was not in orbit before beaming the two security red shirts in to outer space.

Bratty Kids, The Gorgan & The Enterprise
Season 3, episode 4. The Enterprise receives a distress call from the planet Triacus. Kirk, Spock & McCoy beam down and find all adults dead and the children still alive. It is confirmed the adults committed a mass suicide. The kids are happily running around playing. The kids are without parents so Kirk has all of them beamed up to the ship. Once on board, the crew of the Enterprise tries to help the children but they become brats, shaking their fists to control the crew to get what they want. The kids have what appears to be an angel that controls them - the Gorgan. The Gorgan ends up on the ship with Kirk and crew dealing with him and the bratty kids.
Yes these are very bratty kids and they can get on your nerves just watching this episode - imagine what Kirk and crew must have been feeling. In a way, it's kind of fun to watch this episode to watch how Kirk and crew handle a ship full of evil brats.
7.5/10
