DVD Reviews of Star Trek - The Original Series, Vol. 16, Episodes 31 & 32: Metamorphosis/ Friday's Child
DVD Review: To Touch the hand of man
Summary: 5 Stars
Captain Kirk and Spock are transporting Commissioner Nancy Hedford, to the Enterprise, for treatment of Sakuro's disease, a disease that attacks the immunity system leaving the victim fevered and weak. The disease is rare with only one in a billion chance of acquiring the disease. Commissioner Hedford is a key negotiator in the war faction talks of Epsilon Caneris III. Enroute, the shuttle Gallieo detects a cloud of ionized hydrogen moving at warp speed and capable to changing direction with the shuttle. The ionized cloud surrounds the shuttle and forces lands them on a asteriod/planet Gamma Canaris N with life sustaining temperature of 75 degrees and an atmosphere similar to earth. The atmosphere is suitable to human life. Spocks discovers that not is wrong with the shuttle, but nothing works. Communications are also nonfunctional or seemingly blocked. A man name Cochrane approaches the landing party and asks, "Are you real?" It is immediately acknowledgable that Cochrane is federation, when he observes that Spock is Vulcan. Cochrane is the inventor of Warp drive. First contact by the Federation was with the Vulcans. Cochrane has been alive for 150 year without dieing, in fact, the aging process has been reverse bringing him into his prime. Cochrane tells Spock that a dampening field surrounds the planet and power won't work. Kirk observes that Cochrane talks a lot but does not say much. Cochrane tells the grew that when he arrived on the planet 150 years previous that he was an old man but the companion rejuvenated him, saying, "I'm a young man. I can communicate with it". Commissioner Hedford fever is climbing and death will occur in a few hours. The companion sought to save Cochrane by bringing the enterprise crew to the planet because Cochrane told the companion, he was dieing of lonliness. Cochrane tells Kirk, "immortality consists largely of boredom". Cochrane can communicate nonverbally with the companion. Kirk observes the joining is more like lovers than animal and host. Kirk tells Cochrane about advances in space travel and uncharted worlds to discover and asks if Cochrane is interested; Kirk tells Cochrane, "the companion is keeping you a prisoner", "we are getting you out of here". Cochrane was to explore the universe. Cochrane agrees to participate in neuralizing the companion and journey to the stars with the enterprise but feels guilty calling himself a "Judas Goat". Kirk says to Spock, "How do you fight a thing like that?". In a previous scene, Spock is confront by the companion at the shuttle craft while he attempts to bring the power online; Spock attempts to probe the Companions but Companion response with a severe electric shock directed at Spock; Spocks learns from the experience that the companion is electrical and designs an electric disruptor, to injure the companion. Spocks electric disruptor only infuriates the companion, who nearly suffocates Kirk and Spock. Spocks logic fails. Is underestimation/arrogance of an opponent a logic behavior or a human behavior? I call his actions arrogant. Spocks arrogance nearly kills himself and the captain. Cochrane final calms the companion enough to spare them. Spock modifies the universal translator to translate the companions brains in English. The companion provides for Cochranes comfort; Kirk perceives the companion thinks the man, Cochrane is a toy; the companion says, "I care for him"; Kirk tells the companion that Cochrane and her are different, they can't join, they can't love, they will always be separate and apart, the companion must be human to love, the companion will not have the power to create life. Kirk tells Spock that sometimes love expresses itself as sacrifice; if the companion loves Cochrane, she may be willing to sacrifice herself for Cochranes happiness. The companion saves Commissioner Hedford, "both are here in one body" saving the commissioner from death. Apparently Hedford is not a prisoner in her own body. Kirk tells the companion, now that she has combined with the human there is nothing to stop her from experiencing death. The companion says the sacrifice was worth it, to touch the hand of man. Cochrane tells the companion she is beautiful. Cochrane decides to stay with the companion and ask Kirk a favor; the favor of silence about them; they plan on growing old and dieing together.
