Star Trek Season 1 Episode 3 Important Scene

I decided to go with Star Trek this time based on the blockbuster movie about the series that came out this year. That movie was my favorite of 2009, and I figured the TV show had to be at least half as good. Well, to be honest it wasn’t as good as I thought but then again it was only season 1. The good thing was I knew most of the characters and I could figure out what was going on. I think. Anyway, an important scene to me was the whole fight scene between Captain Kirk and Gary Mitchell. Gary had somehow acquired “God-like” powers from the ship being lured into a force field by a distress signal that threatened to destroy its own ship. When the Enterprise went to help, it got caught in a force field that gave side effects to Gary. He began to control things with his mind and kept getting more and more powerful. What I found interesting was the fact that when Gary was possessed with these powers, his eyes turned very bright and it was almost as if his powers were taking over his consciousness. Back to the important scene, this was at the end when Captain Kirk was fighting Gary. Gary had fought with the girl, who also processed these powers that were given to her by Gary. She had weakened him to a state where he could be affected by Captain Kirk’s gun. Even though Captain Kirk was a good friend of Gary’s, he knew that he had to shoot the cliff that buried Gary in the ground. Kirk realized that the old Gary was completely gone inside and he had to kill the new Gary or else he would kill Kirk along with the rest of Enterprise. I found it interesting that the girl was not completely overtaken by her powers and I found it very ironic that Gary died in the grave that he dug for Kirk.
