Episode 3 – “The Practical Joker”

Summary
This one has classic adventure, suspense and a little Star Trek humor. Everything a good original series included. The solution is a bit predictable, so took away a little bit from the rating there, but an otherwise enjoyable episode. Some of these stories, especially this one, feel like they would have been better extended a bit.
Episode rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
