I dig it when a star trek episode has a deeper meaning other then what is presented on screen. This has a couple of messages within it --- the clearly obvious one being the transformative power of the written/performed word in bringing about a change in perception. The second is a love letter to TOS, and the episode essentially plays out as one of the classic episodes from the 60's series.
It's one of those episodes that can appear to be boring until you really dig into what the point of it was ----- after that you can see the design and it's quite clever.
I bet Gene would have enjoyed this cerebral episode for sure. I am bumping it up a few points it for creativity and honoring the legacy and ancient stories that inspired Roddenberry and his contemporaries.
