When a Denavan Jakes his shuttle into the sun, the Enterprise quickly sends an away team down to the planet’s surface. But after the team discovers a rubber vomit parasite that is threatening to overtake the planet’s colony, the crew must find a solution that doesn’t nuke the baby with the bathwater. Does Spock have any hobbies? Is there anything more futuristic than a spray bottle? What’s the easiest way to establish a “spacey” aesthetic? It’s the episode that’s a blaster beam specialist.
Man, I like Bones, he seems like a chill guy, but I have no idea if he’s good at his job, because we never seem him do anything.
When Khan gets broken out of his sleep pod and is in medical distress, Bones just sits there and waits. Not even scanning him or anything. Khan lives because he refuses to die, apparently.
He’s giving good advice, so I’m glad he’s around. But my head canon from now on is that Bones has no idea what he’s doing and is there by mistake.
