After a series of unprovoked attacks on Earth outposts situated near the Romulan Neutral Zone, Captain Kirk risks interplanetary war and engages in a battle of wits with the Commander of the attacking Romulan Bird of Prey. The Enterprise must pursue and destroy the enemy vessel before it escapes back to its homeland, but Kirk has another pressing matter to contend with: a racist bridge officer who suspects that Vulcan science officer Mr. Spock is actually a Romulan spy. It all adds up to a brilliant episode that\\u2019s filled with high drama, gripping suspense, brisk pacing, strong characterization, magnificent performances and a gut-wrenching emotional payoff that still packs a powerful punch. \\u201cBalance of Terror\\u201d is more than just one of \\u201cStar Trek\\u2019s\\u201d finest hours; its one of the best hours of dramatic television ever produced.
