On the plant-choked world of Phylos, the Enterprise crew meets Stavos Keniclius — or rather his fifth clone, a scientist so scarred by Earth's Eugenics Wars that he has built a giant version of Spock to help him impose peace on the galaxy by force. Spock must mind-meld with his own outsized double to talk him down, while Kirk argues the Federation no longer needs saving from itself. Foster's adaptation turns the animated episode's oddest premise into a real argument about pacifism versus control.
