"Miri" only because I had huge 12-year-old crush on Kim Darby.

Grrr, I slipped up with the title in the poll. That should be conscience not conscious. I thought something looked odd when I wrote it.

Miri was simply too slow paced.
Dagger was good and the ending was appropriate.
Conscience and Galileo were interesting character studies.
I had mixed feelings about Court Martial. It really felt manipulative--as though Kirk knew exactly what he was doing from the opening scene, but the plot didn't support the rationals.
