Star Trek: Season 1

1x20 Court Martial

He has five or so buttons at his chair and one of the them is the weirdly specific ion pod jettison trigger that could be easily pressed involuntarily? The courtroom scenes are boring for the most part. It's talk talk talk. Show us - don't talk. This story has a deep philosophical, ethical and frankly disturbing core, but it's told badly. It picks up speed in the second half and there's an unexpected twist in the criminal case which exonerates Jim, but not before he has a chance to swing his fists, tear up his uniform and conquer the prosecutor's (sic!) heart. I hope that's not the future of the justice system. A mediocre episode that could have been so much better.
