Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
"The Tholian Web" was conceived when writer Judy Burns went looking for a new angle on ghost stories. A physics student suggested she somehow use the theory of infinite dimensions, and out of that came Burns's script, which finds Captain Kirk (William Shatner) trapped between different kinds of space, floating in and out of view of the Enterprise crew. Adding to the dilemma are time constraints (Kirk's oxygen supply is running low), an effort by the arachnid-like Tholians to trap the Enterprise in a gigantic web, sub-space dementia affecting the crew, and rising hostilities between Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley), the latter none too happy with the way the Vulcan is running the ship in Kirk's absence. Burns's original conception was to make Spock the spectral Starfleet officer locked in interspace, but the show is quite effective in the way various characters mourn the presumed death of their leader and figurehead. The Tholians don't make another appearance in Trek lore until The Next Generation, but this particular episode won the original series its first Emmy for special effects. --Tom Keogh



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Have we lost the captain?
This episode is one of the coolest in the entire series, especially the Third Season. You have fights between Spock and McCoy, a dangerous enemy, Captain Kirk missing, and of course the Tholian Web surrounding the Enterprise. One of the series finest moments was when the Tholians started making the web. That was so cool.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A ghost story where Kirk is the ghost
The Enterprise encounters another starship, the Defiant, adrift in a region of unexplored space. When there is no answer to their hails, Kirk, McCoy and Chekov beam aboard the Defiant and encounter a dead crew. However, they are astonished to learn that the members of the Defiant crew killed each other. For unknown reasons, they went mad, turned on each other, leaving no one alive. Suddenly, the Defiant begins to fade away, so they prepare to beam back to the Enterprise.
However, the systems ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Tholians and the earliest U.S.S. Defiant.
The U.S.S. Enterprise arrives in an uncharted area of space to answer a distress call from the U.S.S. Defiant, NCC-1764. The starship is visible on their viewscreen, but sensors on board the U.S.S. Enterprise say it's not.

Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Chekov beam aboard and spread out to investigate. Everyone aboard is dead ... apparently killed in a bizarre mutiny, although there are no life readings aboard. McCoy, in the ship's sickbay, tells Kirk that he can find no clue as to why the crew died, ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - As close to a 'ghost story' as the original series would get
When it was originally written this episode had placed Spock in the dilemma that Kirk would eventually find himself in. Changing it to Kirk benefits the entire show as it allows for some of the best Spock and Dr. McCoy clashes of will that the series would offer up. Another change involved adding the environmental suits that were substituted for a belt device worn around the waist that provided a force field for the wearer and provided a supply of oxygen also. Both of these alterations to "The Tholian ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Captain Kirk gets trapped in outer space ---- literally
"The Tholian Web" is one of the most original episodes of Star Trek - The Original Series. The Enterprise ship runs up on a mysterious ship in space that is supposedly not even there, but they can see it. Soon they all find out that they are in a part of space where matter disintegrates. Before the Enterprise crew knows it, Captain Kirk vanishes in space and Spock has to take command. Will Captain Kirk vanish just like the mysterious ship or is there a possible way to find Kirk and beam him back onboard ... Read More
