Star Trek TOS: Episode 47 - THE IMMUNITY SYNDROME

One heck of a dramatic episode. Nothing too fancy here, just a classic sci-fi scenario with an 11,000 mile long amoeba that eats galaxies and destroyed the Intrepid with 400 Vulcans on it. Wheew, lost my breathe there.

Spock risks his life by flying a shuttlecraft up to the amoeba for examination. Meanwhile everyone on the ship is becoming ill and the Enterprise itself is losing power. A great scene shows both Spock and Kirk giving recommendations for valor as they both prepare to die. Well, Kirk has a solution. Become an make an anti-body, more exactly an anti-matter bomb. They mostly destroy the amoeba and I guess they just saved billions upon billions of lives in the process?? Seems like a big deal actually. Also, I've noticed that Sulu has been in maybe two episodes this season. I read the Takei book, but don't recall the reason for this.
