   You haven't gotten to space hippies in "The Way to Eden", the race   
   morality play told with a sledgehammer in "Let That Be Your Last   
   Battlefield" or the original Mary Sue story "The Lights of Zetar" yet.   
   "The Apple" looks like a Hugo winner in comparison.   
      
   But all is not terrible, you haven't gotten to the classic "Tholian   
   Web", the brilliantly surreal "Spectre of the Gun" or the last really   
   good episode, "All Our Yesterdays" yet, either.
