PLOT
Klingons are taking over Organia, a peaceful planet. Kirk and Spock are
stranded on Organia and try to interfere, despite the Organians' insistence
of non-violence. I like the fact that the Organians see that they have a
choice of dealing with the Federation or dealing with their enemies instead
of blindly thanking Kirk for interfering! The Klingons decide to kill a
hundred Organians an hour until Kirk and Spock are turned over to them.
The Organians don't really care, because they don't need their humanoid
bodies anyway. Organians are pure energy; pure thought.
