An alright episode, certainly shouldn't have been the season finale. I like the idea of these amoeba's that are traveling from planet to planet using humans as hosts. It's a plot that will be used many times in other sci-fi formats for years to come. Spock is attacked by one of these (dumb looking) amoebas. Spock offers himself up to McCoy as a test subject to find a solution. Kirk toys with the idea of destroying the planet in order to kill off these alien amoebas.
McCoy figures out that light kills them (which is odd seeing how they attacked Spock in broad daylight). McCoy blinds Spock in the process, but cures him. Also Spock reveals that he was saved from blindness by his inner eyelid (which according to David Icke, President Bush Sr. also has). Spock wins McCoy's respect and they destroy these parasites using a satellite thingy.

So ends season one and all I can say is wow. In one seasons we have seen The Salt Sucker, Charlie Evans, Gary Mitchell, Mudd, the Romuland, Klingons and Khan. Some of the greatest writing had been in season one; City on the Edge, Squire of Gothos, Conscience of the King and Devil in the Dark to name a few. With the exception of the Menagerie, it's tough to find any episode that was below a B
ST TOS COUNTDOWN: 30 down 50 to go
