"Star Trek" and legal drama don't exactly go hand-in-hand, which is why I was apprehensive about 'Court Martial'. But it's solid, thanks to the performances and the show's star. In a prosecution of James T Kirk, Shatner doesn't have to do a lot of puffing up; Kirk's just that kind of stalwart character, especially when he's got Spick and McCoy testifying to his righteousness.
There's an ending twist that's sort of iffy, but it does culminate in a "battle-damaged" (torn shirt) captain engaging in an engine room brawl. That's classic Original Series right there. The only thing missing from the Captain Kirk checklist was an alien girl dalliance.
7/10
