It was surprisingly good and featured future _TOS_ actors John Hoyt, Richard Hale (“The Paradise Syndrome”) and Hal Baylor (“Elaan of Troyius” and “City on the Edge of Forever”), as well as a plethora of other familiar faces who seem to have appeared on every TV series of the 1960s except _TOS_. ---
