The Review
Even though it's been used before, Baseball was a beautiful play. I loved this episode. The emotion was a good old-fashioned grudge...with a Vulcan. Jerry Springer anyone? It was meant to be funny, but in all honesty I think the writers tried too hard in this area. Even if they were new to this game..come on.. no one can play that bad. :-Þ This does raise continuity questions, such as why the staffs would be taking two weeks off to play a game, but who knows, the war seems to go in humps. Bloodbath one week, scratches the next.

I liked the end as well. Emotion was challenged to a Vulcan. I thought it was corny, but the rest of the episode was too good to be spoiled here, so we'll forget and not tell.

Rating: A-
