By now, TOS is slowly reaching out more, feeling more adventurous and less contained. It’s also beginning to build some kind of mythology and canon around the characters and the world. This episode builds up a mystery with many fronts and loose ends but doesn’t bring them together very efficiently, to begin with. We start to understand Spock better, which is great. What a clever way to bake the original pilot into the plot of this episode, while spinning out a new story from it. And what a cliffhanger!
