Star Trek: The Original Series/Recap/S1/E20 Court Martial: Difference between revisions

[[William Shatner|Denny]] [[Boston Legal|Crane]] arrives in court. Shaw starts off by questioning Spock, Bones and the ship's personnel officer. Jame is also present, constantly scowling and getting the odd cutaway shot. Cogley argues that Kirk is innocent because machines are inhuman and Shaw shows a video from the day which [[We Will Not Use Photoshop in Thethe Future|seemingly]] proves Kirk's guilt. Somehow, her case goes over better and Kirk finds himself in deep do-do. Meanwhile, Jame decides Kirk is innocent just about as arbitrarily as she decided he was a murderer and apologizes. It must be her time of the month. Back on the ''Enterprise'', Spock notices that the computer isn't as good at [[Variant Chess|3D chess]] as it should be and realizes someone tampered with it. Before making use of this evidence, Cogley, of course, has to go into a rant about the wheels of progress being out of control. It's quickly deduced that Finney not only messed with the computer, but [[Faking the Dead|faked his death]] and is hiding on the ship. Kirk sets off to confront him alone since [[This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself]], leading to an obligatory fight scene with the crazed Finney. Finney admits to sabotaging the ''Enterprise'', causing the ship's orbit to decay. Kirk fixes this up with a stop by the Jeffries Tube.
