kaylee66I really liked this episode. I figured out what was going on as soon as we saw the first body, but that didn't make the unfolding of the narrative any less interesting.
And Uhura sings again in this episode. I always enjoy her singing. :) She also played the Vulcan lute while she sang. Memory Alpha tells me that we only have record of a few non-Vulcans who can play this instrument. I wonder if Uhura has been taking private lessons with Spock. *grins*
Since this is such a short post, here's a bit from wikipedia: The episode takes its title from the concluding lines of Act II of Hamlet: "The play's the thing/Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king."
In the episode, Captain Kirk crosses paths with an actor suspected of having been a mass-murdering dictator many years before.
The episode featured the final appearance (in production order) in the series of Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Janice Rand).
Well, that answers that question. (I had been wondering how long Janice would be around, since I know she does not appear in later episodes.)
