This episode deals with the repercussions of terrorism. Not on its victims. But on the not inoccent-at-all bystanders: .
The crew of the Enterprise.
It poses the question of whether we should intervene in local affairs. Nowadays it can be seen as a commentary on the Israeli occupation, and annexation of the West bank,
or the Northern Ireland situation.
Hereby SF fullfills it function as social commentary on present day. This can be seen as Sci-Fi function to society. It is a mirror to our present day society.
