As a Talosian looks on, Vina, and a renewed and completely healthy (-appearing) Pike walk hand in hand into the open elevator that will take them down to the Talosian civilization below the surface. Thanks to the Talosians' perception-altering mind powers, they both can live their lives with the illusion that they are free of the limitations that would otherwise plague their damaged and broken bodies. Possibly more importantly, Vina no longer has to be alone.

Pike only said "no" bc of his morality; he'd never endanger others just for his own sake.

But to Spock...giving Pike his autonomy back? Reuniting him w/ Vina? It's all just...logical.

"Chris, do you want to go there?" "...[beep]" 🥺

A doctored image from a doctored video of Kirk on the bridge during a crisis. This frame seems to show Kirk hitting the "Jettison Pod" button (and thus killing LCDR Finney) while the ship is still on Yellow Alert, seemingly before the emergency has turned life-or-death (what the Red Alert would signal). Kirk maintains his innocence--that he went to Red Alert well before jettisoning the pod, and that he had given all the time necessary to Finney, and the some, for him to have survived. In reality, Finney did not die, and was the perpetrator who doctored the evidence "post-mortem".

Anyone who says "Star Trek is only about pure Logic" hasn't seen this ep.

Spock's confusion over his logic failing is fascinating!

Not surprising: Spock's rationality re: death seen as callous/uncaring. Good leadership lesson for him.

Kirk stands over Lenore Karidian, who kneels above her father Anton Karidian, dead by an accidental phaser shot by her own hand (she was aiming for Kirk). This is after it is revealed that Karidian was in fact Kodos (the mass murderer), and Lenore admitted going about killing those who could recognize him.

A bloodied and diseased Captain Kirk (off-screen except for his hand and sleeve) holds the hand of a young boy who literally has blood on his little hands after taking part in a group beating of the Grup (Grown-Up) Captain Kirk. About a dozen and a half other kids stand possibly/mostly ashamedly in the background. These children are actually hundreds of years old, but when they hit puberty, they contact the same disease that killed off all the "Grups" 100s of years ago. (Also these are all kids?!! Some of these faces look *old*)

Unfortunately for Kirk's uniform, the hypospray apparently only works on bare skin, so McCoy casually tears Kirk's (clearly tissue-paper-thin) uniform sleeve half-off. Completely unnecessary and downright baffling choice, but hilarious nonetheless

On the transporter pad, the "Good" (but indecisive, anxious, effectively decisively neutered) half of Kirk (right) holds upright an unconscious "Evil" (but animalistic, almost completely feral and uncontrolled) half of Kirk (left), in a big bear hug (awww). This is right before the two sides are fused BACK together via tRaNsPoRtEr TeChNoLoGy into a single, viable, working Human being. (I like to imagine both have half a brain in their skulls. Not pejoratively, just, matter-of-factly. A perfect hemispherectomy, but at a neuronal level.)

One of Mudd's Women, who is supposedly "incredibly ugly" in this shot because she hasn't taken the Venus Drug (or, later in the episode, isn't presenting herself in a Beautiful Way so it's still "her fault")--(the Venus Drug supposedly making one appear incredibly beautiful) She just looks like a woman without make-up on. Her hair's a bit frazzled. She looks upset. But that's it. To say this is "ugly" says SO MUCH ABOUT BEAUTY STANDARDS IN THE 60'S (let alone the 20th Century as a whole [who am I kidding, for all time up until today too]).

Gary Mitchel, or whoever/whatever it is the man is turning into. His eyes physically glow/gleam. After encountering literal extra-Galactica phenomenon, he has just finished a round of reading pages upon pages of information in mere seconds what a "normal" person would take hours to read and fully digest. He was at the point of reading a page of information in less than a second, consistently, so much so that he had to click his page turner device as if he were a channel-changer or simple remote. All of this is being watched by the Captain on the bridge. Gary Mitchel suddenly stops his rapid-fire reading, turns his head and stares calmly and creepily down the barrel of the camera. At Kirk. Through a one-way camera. From a completely different part of the ship

The boy who was given the """"honor"""" of being the "First Servant". After much celebration and such, he has now been hooked up into the torture machine that powers the utopian city in the clouds, and he will now suffer endlessly until he dies, to ensure his society doesn't *literally* fall out of the sky. Yes, he was scared going in. Though the boy now looks neutral-faced as the dozens of cords have implanted themselves into his skull automatically, but we have no way of knowing what he's experiencing now--other than that it is utter suffering. None of this is okay. The correct response is to evacuate the hellish "utopia" city and let it fall, crash, and burn, destroying the horrific technological creation that "absolutely requires the neural pattern of a child" to operate or else it falls out of the sky. You reject horrors, you don't sadly accept them.

Star Trek's version was my first Omelas. I'm thankful; they recognize "Stay and Fight" is the right answer.

It is impossible to make this okay, just like it's impossible to make sacrificing any part of society okay.
