Hard to have much sympathy for a society that captures ships with a distress signal to use as sex slaves. Well, okay --- I guess if Deela wants to use me as a sex slave there are technically worse fates but even that would get old after a time.
I agree with the other reviewers that this episode could have benefited from the crew/kirk working together (more) to sabotage the Scalosians.
It is interesting that Kirk essentially tells the Scalosians to pound sand and leaves them to a grim fate. That is not the sympathetic big softy I have come to know over the past three seasons.
This is a competent episode if not a bit too straightforward. I like a little twist thrown in here or there. This one ends with the tried and true, "shoot the device until it blows up" method.
