Title: Refreshing
Review: Here's another 3rd season episode (see The Empath for another nearby example) that was refreshingly original. The story revolves around the Medusan Ambassador who is too ugly (or is it too beautiful?) for the eye. This episode has lots more of messages. Beauty and ugliness will be the last prejudice for humans to conquer. Like Spock said, the Greeks thought that everything beautiful was good and everything ugly was bad. Don't judge a book by its cover!Also, I liked it when Spock made a mind link with the Medusan. The ambassador offered some lovely insights into the human condition because his usual point of view is so different. This is the sort of thing that science fiction at its best ought to do. I just absolutely love this episode. Season Three is the second best season! Viva la Third Season!
