This episode features something unique to any Star Trek episode, music featuring a "waka waka" guitar. It's not as upfront in the mix as usual but it's heard during the scene when Kirk and the landing party are running from the compound to the giant vase/plant. For anyone wondering wth the sound is, play the theme to Shaft, although it's found in a lot of songs from the early 70s. ST is more known for more classical style than soul/urban music....
As to the episode, Uhura kicks butt and Nurse Chapel gets to step up too. But there are too many holes in the story to rate it high overall. I give Uhura a 10, the episode a 5, and a bonus point for music making it a 6.
