Trivia:
In the opening segment, in regard to the enemy vessels, Spock declares "Romulans now using Klingon design!" The actual reason for this was that in unpacking the models to shoot this sequence, a production assistant stepped on and broke the Romulan Warbird model that was going to be used, so they pulled out their Klingon Battlecruiser model and wrote the line to cover it up. moreQuotes:
Subcommander Tal: No one should decide quickly to die, captain. We give you one of your Earth hours. If you do not surrender your ship at the end of that time, your destruction is certain. moreFAQ

This is a nicely paced, genuinely suspenseful episode which finds its roots in the best espionage stories. Kirk takes the Enterprise into Romulan territory on his own initiative, leading many to question his competency to command and increasing hostilities with the Romulans. Is Kirk actually losing it, or is something else afoot? This episode resembles some of the best spy fiction -- "The Spy Who Came In From the Cold" in particular -- and Shatner's staginess actually works to the episode's advantage. Nimoy's inscrutability is equally compelling, particularly when the Romulan commander (well played by Joanna Linville) tries to persuade him to join the dark side, as it were.
Intelligently written and played, and a lot of fun to boot.
