"Writer shows little flair for characterization or dialogue and a near-total ignorance of structure. Captain Kirk is killed in the cold open and is immediately replaced by Ensign Kinsey, a “rakishly handsome genius/seeker whom Kirk had been secretly grooming as his successor for years, unbeknownst to the rest of the Enterprise staff,” an unbelievable breech of Starfleet protocol. A graphically described orgy in the captain’s quarters involving Kinsey, Uhura, Sulu, and the seven-breasted, five-vaginated Negron escapee certainly violates all conceivable network standards of decency. The sudden appearance of Batman in Act 10 is unmotivated and absurd, as is his unexplained use of heat vision to incinerate a Kakazaan lizard-guard. At one point Ensign Kinsey shows his penis to Spock for no discernible reason."

- Good Lord, did Mark Lisanti’s “analysis” of Paul Kinsey’s “The Negron Complex” fake “Star Trek” script on “Mad Men” this week make me laugh and laugh and laugh.
