TOS: The Galileo Seven

While en route to New Paris with a vaccine for an epidemic, the Enterprise encounters a quasar. Much to the dismay of the officious commissioner Ferris, Kirk enacts his sacred Starfleet duty to study any and all quasars. Kirk sends out the Galileo Seven with Spock in command. Ionic storms confuse the sensors, causing the Galileo to crash land in Bronson Canyon. While Spock tries to find the most logical way to get as many of the crew as possible off the planet alive, Bones, the scientist Boma and the redshirts decry Spock's lack of a heart. Meanwhile, Kirk searches for his missing crew, but Ferris has only given him two days before they must leave for New Paris and the clock is ticking. After being attacked by primitives that make Classic Who monsters look good, the decision about who to leave behind to achieve lift off is made much easier. IN the end, an act of desperation by Spock allows the remaining crew of the Galileo Seven to be rescued.
