    the outcome of the “invisible ship”

    Balance of Terror?

    I think so, I consider myself a ST fan, have watched almost everything two exceptions, one is Discovery I dropped on season 2-3 don’t remember exactly that was not fun to watch, and TOS I tried to watch it, but I can’t stand it, it’s too old for me, so I know nothing of Balance of Terror, yeah, I know there are some Romulans and it’s supposed to be the invisible ship, nothing else.

    the theory about the Vulcan Cadet was true

    Wait, is there a theory she’s a Romulan or something?

    In the other threads someone suggested that the Vulcan Cadet that left Starfleet is a Romulan spy. I am all in at this moment, it could be a great AHA! moment in the future.

    About Sybok, again, no TOS background here, but the story about Captain Angel, and how they trick Pike was so great… and never had a payback or a conclusion that is a shame.

      go on and watch Balance of Terror, even if it’s the only TOS episode you ever watch.

      i was disappointed in the Strange New Worlds remake of that episode (the S1 finale, Quality of Mercy) because it a) wrongly assumed that most of the audience had seen Balance of Terror, so it didn’t properly land with my non-Trekkie friend watching together and b) wasn’t as good as the original, and i am generally a big SNW fan.

      Mark Lenard’s performance is incredible.

      edit : i’m going to watch it again right now, so thanks for the prompt to do so!

      edit 2: in the midst of it, it’s so good.
