I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to take this to Featured status prior to September in the hope that it could be featured on the front page on the 50th anniversary of the episode's first broadcast (and the first broadcast of Star Trek in general). Failing that, we already have a backup episode at FA already, but this would be the perfect choice. I've attempted to base it on "Space Seed" (the episode already at FA), but it could still do with some pointers to make the FA process smoother.

Critical reception
