Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Our favorite Starfleet trio, Captain Kirk (William Shatner), Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) beam down to Capella IV to persuade the resident warrior race to sign up with the Federation. Unfortunately, a Klingon agent named Kras (Tige Andrews, the captain of TV's Mod Squad) has preceded them and set enough doubt into play that the take-no-prisoners Capellans decide to give Kirk and company a hostile reception. Written by story editor D.C. (Dorothy) Fontana, "Friday's Child" has the broad outlines of a Western, with the good guys getting rebuffed by hostile Indians and a final showdown with crude weapons set up in the barren hills. Julie Newmar's guest role as Eleen, wife of a former ruler and a pawn in the barbed politics between Kirk, Kras, and the Capellans, even has something of the frightened but stoic native princess about it. Viewers hoping to catch Newmar in a Capellan catsuit, however (an extension of her iconic, sleek presence as Catwoman in the old Batman TV series), will be sorely disappointed: Eleen is quite pregnant, fit to burst and placed in McCoy's capable hands. Trek stalwart Joseph Pevney directed this action-adventure piece, which contains one of the good doctor's most memorable utterances, spoken when Eleen expects McCoy to carry her up a steep hill: "I'm a doctor, not an escalator!" --Tom Keogh

Lots of good one-liners and an unusually coherent intrigue/diplomacy plot. Scotty takes command for a while, giving us a chance to see the bridge crew at work when the Big Three are away. Meanwhile, McSpork attempt to negotiate with the local aliens for resources and get pulled into a local power struggle; their pregnant queen decides she wants their protection. Kirk and Spock go native, while Bones argues with a recalcitrant patient and accidentally becomes a "daddy". Up in the sky, Chekov reminds ... Read More

I can't believe that they would show this awful episode after Journey to Babel. Why would the Federation be dealing with a people who haven't developed light speed? These people haven't even developed the bow and arrow! Despite this huge mistake, the rest of the episode is painful to watch.

The greatest problems in the sciences of politics and sociology deal with what forms of government and social structure are best suited for societies. Some argue that democracy and free market systems are the best for all, yet there are strong reasons to believe that these systems are not the best ones for all societies. Events in human history have demonstrated that an attempt to impose a system on a society generally leads to consequences worse than the original conditions. That is the fundamental ... Read More

Not to be a Debby Downer, but I've been amazed at how many reviewers of this episode (both here and in the DVD reviews) actually like this episode! Ridiculous-er than usual aliens (complete with language that a Native American might speak in a John Wayne flick), Bones slapping his pregnant patient around ("I'll touch you in an any way or manner that my professional judgment indicates!"), bows and arrows (bows and arrows?!), and Kirk's embrace of revenge ("Why not?") all add up to a bizarre mismatch that's ...

The first half of this episode was filmed on Capella 4 and the second half was filmed in Calfiornia, thus the changing sky and landscape. No, actually this is a fine episode that really plays on the strengths of the big three more than many other episodes. The big three try to deal with a fight for leadership that puts them on the run and Scotty and the ship try to deal with Klingons out in space. The episodes that show the constants in emotions and feelings in other beings are some of the best and this episode ... Read More
