Star Trek: The Original Series - "The Alternative Factor" Full Reaction!

When I was growing up my dad introduced me first to Star Trek TNG, which was airing new episodes at the time, and later Star Trek TOS which was in late, late night syndication. I would beg him to stay up late and record TOS for me and this was about the only episode he managed to do so. Even back then I remember thinking that it wasn't all that great. Again, not bad per se just not all that good. A lot of the same criticisms I have of Miri, I like the concept just that the execution was a little off. It feels like they kinda just kept throwing things at the wall in order to get us where we needed to be by the end. As someone else pointed out it may have been a relatively new concept for sci-fi TV and I'm absolutely understanding of that. Not dragging it by any means, just another one for the "it's just ok" pile. Lt. Bunny? Lt. Tails? Lt. B. Tails? That's it, Lt. B. Tails reporting for duty.

If you do watch this one again, Bunny, you'll see how repetitive it is: frequent trips to the planet's surface in which Kirk, Spock, Lazarus, and an assortment of security officers stroll around looking for something (and finding nothing); two different falls from a great height for Mad Lazarus; and two occasions in which a Lazarus manages to steal dilithium crystals, either through subterfuge or physical assault. I find the "walking around" sequences the most obvious evidence that there was less content to fill out the normal runtime, and so some padding was required. Adding to the lackluster story, there was a dispute with John Drew Barrymore, the actor originally cast as Lazarus. When he refused to report for work, it was necessary to find a last-minute replacement, and Shatner recommended his friend, actor Robert Brown. The production team later filed a grievance with the Screen Actors Guild and Barrymore was kept out of acting for six months as a result.
