  Analysis  
Great cast of guest stars here with the likes of Luther Adler, Robert Loggia, John Banner, Collin Wilcox, and Leonard Nimoy. So how come the episode itself limps along like a three-legged llama much of the way? Sometimes even a great guest cast can't pull an episode out of the doldrums completely.
