I just saw Balance of Terror last night and was reminded of how good an episode it was. Kirk had to make a lot of tough tactical decisions. I think it ranks in the top ten episodes at least, if not the top 5. By the way, I was watching the credits and noticed that the Romulan officer who gets reduced two steps in rank for breaking radio silence is played by Lawrence Montaigne who also played Stonn in Amok Time. Isn't someone compiling a list of actors who appeared in more than one episode? (Still, Diana Muldaur has the prize for being in the most number of episodes.)

The actor who played the Romulan commander is the same actor who played Spock's father in "Journey to Babel".

His name is Mark Leonard. And also played a Klingon in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. This means Lenard has played characters of three different non-human races. -- --rick heli (... ucbvax!ucdavis!groucho!ccrrick)

The Vulcan in that show was the guy who started the whole concept of non-emotion and logic on Vulcan, Surak. No, he wasn't played by Mark Lenard. S. Gore LLP \\// \

I stand corrected...that is the real way to spell his name. You also have
another name confused. Sarek is Spock's father, while *Surak* is the Vulcan
you are talking about; and no, Mark Lenard didn't play Surak. The name of the
episode is "The Savage Curtain".

Thanks for the clue......I realized 5 min. after I typed Sarek that it was Surak......but if Mark Lenard didn't play Surak, who did? Ed Z.
