5. I liked that the story was complex. Spock's motives were complex. |

Until the very end, you see the Talosians as essentially all evil and bad. Yet they provide a very valuable service to Pike who had been their captive.
The ending, once the courts martial personnel disappear, and the Talosian says the closing words to Kirk, gives me chills.
I realize that the show was originally just the part on Talos, minus the courts martial, since I guess the original pilot/show was just going to have Pike as the captain, etc.
I thought what they did with the story once they had the new cast was brilliant. Truly one of the great examples of making lemonade out of lemons.
