Rewatching Star Trek (The Original Series, 1966-1969)

Episode o' the Day
"Requiem for Methuselah" (season three, episode nineteen; production code: 076; 14 February 1969): Wikipedia-link.

Commentary: The big problem with so many of these third-season episodes is that they have an interesting ideas—a seemingly immortal human who has been some of Mankind's greatest geniuses! The perfect (android) woman!—surrounded by not nearly enough plot. They're dull & boring, instead of compelling & confronting as are the best first- & second-season episodes.
