TIME: 49 min.
DISTANCE: 6 mi.
TOTAL DISTANCE: 156.4 mi.
DISTRACTION: "The Project Strigas Affair"
NOTES: Leonard Nimoy at 33 with a comic-opera Ruritanian accent is love.
SHIRE RECKONING: This damnable forest will never end.

I love this episode, and the least of my love, really, is for Nimoy (and Shatner) in pre Star Trek glory. I love the intricacies of bluff and double bluff; I love the dialogue; I love the interrogation scene and the moment when Leo G. Carroll lets the steel shine through. "You're our animal now." I love the energy that all of them, Vaughn and McCallum and Shatner and Nimoy, bring to the screen. And I love the fact that Our Heroes' ethics are ever so slightly dubious--I don't think it's an accident that Machiavelli gets invoked.
