From the sublime of "Yesteryear", we move to the ridiculousness of "One of Our Planets is Missing". A mysterious cloud is eating planets. A deep discussion on whether to warn an endangered planet ensues. The Enterprise gets caught by the cloud, which turns out to be alive. McCoy gives a lecture about human anatomy. Scotty rigs a way to regenerate the engines using parts of the antimatter cloud. More deep discussions--do they kill the cloud to save a planet? Spock mind melds with the cloud, and convinces the cloud to leave the galaxy.
Some things to look for:
- Finally, Arex gets a name and a voice
- More crewman lounging in a hallway
- A reminder of the "Trash Can" theater animation, as big balls of "antimatter" fly past the ship
- More plumbing than we've seen before in the ship
- The cloud has a lot of problems understanding things--we hear "explain?" a lot
- Random shots of Earth to convince the planet to stop--Filmation stock shots
- Kirk saying "Quiet!" for no apparent reason
