"The Omega Glory"
| Omega, last letter of the
Greek alphabet, is symbolic of an ending. The natives of Omega IV
revered their artifacts, but it took the Enterprise landing party to
show
them the real meaning of it all. |

Glories
The U.S.S. Enterprise finds
a crewless starship, the U.S.S. Exeter, in orbit around the planet
Omega IV. The boarding party from the U.S.S. Enterprise contracts a
virus that may have killed the Exeter's crew, but the biosphere on
Omega IV is found to contain an immunity. The party is beamed to the
surface.
There they discover
Captain Tracey,
the commander of the U.S.S. Exeter. He has been violating the
Federation's Prime Directive by interfering in the politics of the
natives, using his phaser to protect the asian-like villagers, the
Kohms, against the barbarian raiders, the Yangs. Tracey demands that
Kirk supply him with more phasers, which Kirk refuses to do.
The Yangs capture the
Kohms village
and the U.S.S. Enterprise crew learns that these people are possibly
descendants of Earth's Communist Chinese who left Earth in the last
years of the 20th Century. The Yangs mouth a distorted version of the
United States Constitution, which are their 'holy words' and which Kirk
recites, gaining their confidence. Prolonged exposure to the planet's
atmosphere cures the landing party and, with Captain Tracey under
arrest, they return to the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Nonsense

I really wish they wouldn't say stuff like this.
It just sounds silly.

This episode isn't
on too many "Best of" lists and
it's usually criticized for too much "American Flag Waving"
but I say there's nothing wrong with that.
The show was made in America by Americans
(with a few Canadians too!) so why not wave your own flag!
