mbarkerWhat can I say? A mysterious disease gets picked up from a frozen outpost where five researchers apparently went insane. On board the Enterprise, it lets loose various inhibitions, resulting in Sulu charging around bare-chested with a fencing foil, Christine admitting her love to Spock, and so forth. McCoy works through and finds an antidote in time!
I thought one of the amusing touches was in a Captain's log supplemental near the beginning, where Kirk muses that "unknown to us, a mysterious disease has been brought on board." It seems amusing to me that Kirk knows enough to comment about events that are unknown to us. I guess that's what makes him such a good Captain :-)

The theme of how we all change when our inhibitions are stripped away, by alcohol, drugs, disease, etc., is kind of a fun one. Especially when the setting includes quasi-military discipline and such.
