Star Trek Thoughts: This Side of Paradise

I figured from the start that I wasn't going to comment on all of the Star Trek episodes I watched, but it does seem I keep being struck with unexpected ideas by at least some of them. That was the case with "This Side of Paradise," the episode "where Spock gets hits with happy space spores." There was at least a bit more to it, though.
