It wouldn't be a good TOS episode if we did not get a few 'big' performances throughout. The crowning jewel performance belongs to a completely unhinged Lenore who is afflicted by the same madness as Kodos.
Star Trek has many influences and of course it is influenced by Shakespeare. I have always maintained that Shatners performance is the just the right amount of Shakespeare, Ham and Stage.
Kodo's provides a good performance as a man who is haunted and burden by his past. All the more tragic that he has come to understand his crimes and madness only to see his daughter go down the same path.
A well executed and paced episode that is heightened by the over the top Shakespearean performances and tragic ending.
