Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
While exploring an uncharted region of the galaxy, the Enterprise encounters a cube-shaped alien probe (a predecessor of Borg vessels?) that Kirk promptly destroys. That action brings the wrath of a spaceship called the Fesarius, which locks the Enterprise in a tractor beam from which it can't escape. The show is perhaps best known for something of a surprise ending when the "captain" of the Fesarius (played by Clint Howard, brother of Ron and child star of TV's Gentle Ben) is revealed. Directed by Joseph Sargent (Colossus: The Forbin Project). --Tom Keogh

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An intelligent and likely first contact scenario
The intensity of this episode and the calmness of most of the Enterprise crew in the face of imminent destruction demonstrate the professionalism of Star Fleet personnel. Crewman Bailey is the exception, when faced with the unknown; he panics and is relieved by Kirk. When Balok, the commander of the alien ship, states his intention to destroy the Enterprise, Kirk argues his case, but when that fails, he engages in an elaborate bluff. He claims that a device called Corbomite has been incorporated ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Early Effort
This episode was the first to be shot during the regular production schedule. It was neither the first to be aired (Man Trap) nor was it one of the two pilots (The Cage, Where No Man Has Gone Before). But otherwise, it was "first," and it has the virtue -- or drawback -- of spending more time than usual building character relationships and showing how the chain of command worked on the ship.

The Enterprise is repeatedly threatened with destruction by an advanced race that operates a gigantic ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - "Not chess, Spock. Poker. You know the game?"
Yep, this is the episode that featured that rubber alien that often was the last image you saw during that slide show that accompanied the end credits. This was also the episode that featured that giant beehive in space. And who can forget Tranya? Aaahhh . . . delicious and invigorating Tranya. Yet, despite these dubious distinctions, "The Corbomite Maneuver" is actually a half-way decent episode.

The U.S.S. Enterprise encounters a strange cube in space and destroys it in order to pass. The cube's ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It all boils down to a kid and grapefruit juice
You know after a Star Trek episode, during the credits they show stills from other episodes? The last one is the goofy alien head that looks like someone suddenly and surprisingly placed a cold hand on it's privates and told him to cough? Well this is the episode! The 'Carbinite' Move reminded me of Plan 9 from Outer Space and the 'Solarbinite' bomb.

This spinning pyramid in space is enclosing the Enterprise in a web and will destroy it. When Spock sees no way out he mutters 'Checkmate'.

"No ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - "Not Chess Mr. Spock ....Poker."
Spoiler Space......for those who want to be surprised at the outcome of this episode....

I wish the the relationship between Rand and Kirk lasted in this early entry of the series. It would have been more realistic to have Kirk grapple with his feelings for Rand and keeping an objective view of his crewmembers.

Kirk bluffs his way out of this one with the mutual destruction device called Corbomite. His crew was doomed and having nothing to lose made up this idea of a self destruct device that ... Read More
