Star Trek episode "A Taste of Armageddon"

"A Taste of Armageddon"

Season 1, episode 23.

(Off topic, it is funny that the commercial on the CBS.com website for this one was for Benefiber, the clear "tasteless" fiber supplement--is it a coincidence?)

This Star Trek installment has a strange but interesting logic about it. That's what makes a great episode, where you can honestly see the point on the other side of the argument, whether you agree with it or not.

The planet had made war "neat and painless," as Kirk says. You can kind of see the strange logic if your culture was somehow stronger than individual lives.

This is another episode where a code word would be efficient, and they have a voice-analyzer in this episode--where that one goes in subsequent episodes, I don't know.

Spock manages to do some kind of Vulcan mind-touch thing through a wall!

Compare this episode to The Next Generation episode "Justice."
