Title: The Immunity Syndrome
Production:
Original Airdate: January 19, 1968
Stardate: 4307.1
Synopsis:
First the Gamma 7A system disappears without a trace...and then Spock
receives a mental shock from the loss of the all-Vulcan U.S.S.
Intrepid. When the source of the destruction turns out
to be an enormous, non-sentient space-going amoeba, Spock nudges out
McCoy for the shuttlecraft mission to plant explosives to blow the thing apart. The decision rests heavily on both McCoy and Kirk, who makes the
choice knowing full well that he will likely not see his first officer
again.
Guest Cast:
John Winston as Lt. Kyle

Spock: "I've noticed that about your people, Doctor. You find it easier to understand the death of one than the death of a million. You speak about the objective hardness of the Vulcan heart. Yet how little room there seems to be in yours."
