And another practical answer I just thought of….how about a blockade against the interfering Klingons?? They prob would have been well within their rights with the Organian peace treaty to do so and did not have the potential of million of deaths.

Answer to 121:

What could they do? How about not going to planets that are primitive and arming people? That would be a start. History has shown us that interfering with primitive cultures, especially ones that have no firearms to begin with have lead to disastrous results.

If Kirk had not armed Tyree’s tribe, then they would of been all killed and their culture would of been lost. It was not a perfect solution, but really the only solution available. Kirk asked McCoy, what else can we do here, and McCoy had no answer.

#119. Thanks for stating the obvious. Would have been interesting to watch them visit a Jupiter-like planet every week, no?

/sigh I’m starting to get tired about reading the bitching about earth-like planets. For one, the original shot of this planet looked somewhat earth-like, and for another thing, this planet was unusually bright- almost “neon” whereas earth is a more mellow shade of blue. Third, just about every planet they visit in the original series is compared to earth in some way or another (Garden of Eden for example). I’m just glad we have new planets at all.

Interesting juxtaposition with STNG’s “Too Short a Season”. STNG reflected a different point of view where Jameson repeated Kirk’s folly of equipping nations with arms on both side, and breaking the Prime Directive. I’ve seen speculation in fandom that the war there lasted decades, and the same thing happened on Mordan IV. Finally after 20 years, we see what might have happened…millions dead and a wrecked planet. At least we learned something from Vietnam and Roddenberry did too.

I’ve viewed and speculated about this episode many times and never understood the dramatic ending. I always thought to myself, “I don’t get it, who won?” But now I finally understand, nobody won because in war there really is no winner. That planet could have developed into a true Eden, but thanks to the simple introduction of a gun, Utopia came crashing down.

If only some people on this planet would consider disposing of some of their serpents.

I wonder if it was part of Yeoman Rand’s duties to mend Kirk’s piles of torn uniform shirts.
