OK, it's Friday and time for yet another bad Star Trek episode. Today's "gem" is the "Omega Glory" which features one of Kirk's collegues violating the Prime Directive and one of those "oh-so-original" plots involving parallel development ("Yangs" vs "Kohms") which are usually just a way to save money and be able to utilize Paramount Studios' extensive prop and wardrobe collections without having to fabricate new stuff. Yawn. This episode also features some of William Shatner's more hammy acting moments.
Here's some real quality lines from the episode:
"That which is ours is ours again; it will never be taken from us again... I am Cloud William – chief. Also son of chief. Guardian of the Holies, Speaker of the Holy Words, Leader of Warriors. Many have died, but this is the last of the Kohm places; what is ours is ours again!"-Cloud William
"I plegleia neptum flagumm; to pec, liforstand–""–and to the republic for which it stands; one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
- Cloud William and Kirk, as Kirk translates the Yang version of the Pledge of Allegiance

It's kind of sad too because this series put out some great episodes but it also put out some real stinkers.
