One of my favorite aspects of the series is how the Enterprise is always the second starship on sight coming in just after the first has met their demise. (Doomsday Machine, Immunity Syndrome etc...) Here the unlucky starship is the Defiant which is still in tact but the crew has gone mad. Our heroes beam over to the defiant in some cool looking space suits. Seemingly the crew of the Defiant has gone mad and killed each other due to the proximity of the area of space that they have entered. Chechov ventures to the lower decks and upon returning to the Enterprise is afflicted with the same madness.
Of note is that Kirk is lost when the Defiant is sucked in to inter space which apparently exists when two galaxies overlap. The task is now to get Kirk back and the other members of the crew are allowed to shine in Kirks absence. Spock is in command and McCoy is his foil until they watch a recording Kirk has left for them.
Scotty of course in in engineering working his magic and McCoy is able to remedy the madness problem. Spock shows a somewhat human side when he welcomes Checkov and Uhura back to their positions on the bridge.
All in all a good episode.
Why didn't communicators come with some sort of voice mail function?
