First half of this episode is a rather usual crime drama about Kirk supposedly killing a crew member. It feels somewhat out of place since I never believed for a sec Kirk is guilty. Once we get to the courtroom it seems they are out to destroy his career. They are so keen to accept the computer's record of events over the word of a proven commander. That is where things change in an instand and it becomes a man vs machine szenario: Kirk's attourney takes a dramatic stand against the court and, indeed, the whole system. And, althought I like what's being said, it happens so quick that I had difficulties bringing those two halves together. The rest of the episode then comes to a quick resolution and another fist fight where Kirk's shirt is shredded once again. And that part again doesn't seem to gel with the tone of the episode. So it's a bit of rolercoaster with a good theme but a, for me, lackluster excecution.
