Specre of the Gun
Spectre of the Gun (HD Video; Memory Alpha) is like distilled TOS. There’s a new civilization to contact, a warning ignored, a confounding obstacle involving godlike powers, and a simple solution waiting to be found that makes everything all better just in time for the closing credits.

Grade
A. This is a solid episode, if a little on the silly side, and it has a slew of awesome dialog.
