This one has an interesting premise, but it is unfortunately kind of dull. Kirk is transported onto an empty version of the Enterprise…he’s there but everyone else is gone. It is basically a Trek-Twilight Zone episode.
At its heart it is a tale of overpopulation and I know what they were trying to achieve here, but unfortunately it doesn’t really work.
