As someone on their first watch through (aside from the recent movies).

My god, that was a good episode. Great depiction of a space battle. Excited I finally decided to take the plunge.

    Now you see why Romulans ended up a recurring villain… very strong start. Compare that to how long they took to bring back the Gorn!

      Not sure that it blew minds that much as much of its core audience would have seen two great submarine movies - ‘The Enemy Below’ (1957) & ‘Run Silent, Run Deep’ (1958).

      The episode takes and translates the submarine warfare and beats of these these movies into a space setting. It’s still marvellous television.

      Recommend both of the movies BTW if you can find them.
