It isn't the first time in the series when a self-called "super intelligent" civilization end up wishing nothing but human contact, even if that means giving up on all their original intentions and supposed skills. No, it is not just love. If Sargon loves his wife and vice versa, they'd love each other as energy contained in a receptacle, as minds contained in androids bodies or in any other place. But in their human bodies they can "feel", which means kissing and touching each other, which is the way of depicting sex in 60's television. In the beginning, Sargon threatens the crew telling them that if they let him perish, human race would have to perish also. Apparently, the writer forgot he wrote that line, because from then on the man is nicer than bread, and claims he'd like to teach humankind great technological advances and how to avoid committing the same mistakes they made. Well, I actually would have love to see some of those advances came true and how the crew would deal with these superior minds they brought back to life and who were now transforming everything as they pleased. But, instead, they ended up depicting them as humans who only wanted to express their love physically... which is fine, but it's a theme that has already been explored repeatedly in this series, and I was hoping more sci-fi here than cheesy romance. Kirk kissing all chicks around is fun, but it gets kinda tiresome the 100th time. Spock playing evil is fun to watch. Anyway, I think the idea of the episode is interesting, but they could have made much more of it, instead of repeating the same formula over and over.
