A very interesting episode. It delves into slavery, sexism and beauty standards. Yes it's somewhat boring at least in the first half, but it's curious nontheless. My only problem is that even though it "condems" sexism in a way that makes the men in this episode question whether they want a "fake" woman that appeases their desires or a "real woman" it does so basing it off in the ideal that a "true woman" must be serviceable, cook and cry. So yes, it's a progressive episode in a way, but also very rooted in many old-fashioned ideas. Still, a thought-provoking episode given the context of the original airing. I would like to think this is as "far" as they could go, yet, I'm in awe at what Star Trek got away with in every episode, and I'm still just in the beginning of the series.
