It's cool to see how an alternate cast of Star Trek characters would behave if positioned in a parallel universe. That's what we get here, as Captain Kirk is forced to think on his feet, while other-world Sulu and Chekov really get to cut loose as opportunists and potential assassins. In some of my prior reviews I've mentioned how Uhura's skirt kept getting shorter over the series' run, and I had to chuckle here. Since it couldn't go any higher, she gets to bare her midriff for an even sexier display. Nice abs too.
I think the thing I liked best here was the way Spock's character was written. There's something to be said about his intense loyalty, no matter what side of the cosmic highway he was working on. Nice touch with the beard too.
Too bad some more time couldn't have been spent aboard the real Enterprise exploring the nature of evil Kirk and company. There again, Spock had things under control and in lock down mode as soon as he saw something amiss.
But the thing that gets me with these stories is why it's never explained how one's clothes get altered along with the big switcheroo. Maybe we're not supposed to think about that, but just once I'd like to see a story line try to explain it.
