Another deadly herbal attack. Sure. Why not? Countless other Sci-Fi shows have re-used this idea. It's oddly paced. The first 15 minutes or so are used to establish the general premise: the planet is dangerous and they're trapped. This could have been told in 5 minutes. This godzilla thing is officially the worst paper mache object in this show.
I don't like this episode. It's basically like Captain Cook discovered a Polynesian island and polluted the traditional society by a behavior that Europeans think is normal. Only that a Christian morale is replaced by, well, the means of sex education? Really? Funny, how they can't talk about sex in the 60s. As soon as this civilization is stirred up, they learn how to murder people. A concept totally unknown to them before. And so the fighting begins. Plus, they destroy the benevolent caretaker Godzilla. They basically destroy all foundations of this peaceful society. That's worse than European exploration. Kirk seems even to be proud of his action since he firmly believes he freed those people.
The show makes me a sexist too: I can't help to notice that Yeoman Landon is gorgeous.
