I love sci-fi stories that play with your mind with bizarre and sometimes inexplicable stories. In that sense, Shore Leave is a great episode. It’s great to get a breather after a string of more intense episodes. Bones gets a bigger part to play, which is nice. The episode struggles a bit to build a coherent story around the strange goings-on and drags as a result. But the idea itself of the manufactured world is fine, as is the way the Enterprise crew interacts with the dangers. The lengthy and mostly pointless fight scene at the end is pretty enjoyable.
