is good different than evil? a star trek episode. when? date 5906=3,22, "The Savage Curtain" TOS
5906 is around ten days after 5840, preceding episode. note: now announced again "five year mission" despite date 5900 and considering 5900-1500=4400, and author theory of one per day: not match if so 5*365<2000 yet story truly containd "five years" ergo each is less than a day and as a fan proved each around 3 hours kuz around seven per earth day .
story: on date 5906, Enterprise was scanning a planet. its surface was molten lava. the lights on the bridge flickerd, due to power from the surface that scand the ent'. the crew saw a glow that transformd into Abraham Lincoln.
Captain Kirk and crew wore fancier uniforms with decorations such as a shiny strip, to welcome the "former president" as he claimd, with Presidential honors. the planet changed. solid land emerged from under the lava, it has plants and people and air.
In the transporter room, security officers stood ready with phasers set to "heavy stun." Scott beamd Lincoln aboard. music sounded with drums. Doctor McCoy scand l' and told Kirk that he is human. Kirk led Lincoln for a brief tour of the vehicle. next l' spoke with Lieutenant Uhura and then with Spock.
kirk met with the head crew to talk about this impostor, which is probably a trap. meanwhile, l' talkd more with Uhura. Spock noted that the trap was illogical. considering we saw their power, to interfere with the systems. if their goal was to kill them or destroy the ship, they already could. Kirk declares that their mission IS to seek civilizations, and now is an opportunity for that.
Kirk beamd down with Lincoln and Spock. the crew find the devices, most importantly the phasers stayed on the transporter pads.
on land of planet Excalbia, Surak [a being in the form of vulcan] greeted them. Kirk stated they won't cooperate with the charade. then, a boulder transforms alive. its hands are lobster-like claws. the being explaind that they study visitors to learn other "philosophies". now the purpose is to compare good and evil. kirk must battle the ones "considered evil" in human philosophy. the four combatants are: the human Colonel Green, a deceitful and genocidal leader during 21st century. another human Genghis Khan the ancient conqueror. a klingon [a being in the form of the founder of the Klingon Empire], and a Tiburonian. these are considered evil in human philosophy. however the human lincoln is considered "good" in western human philosophy as well as the vulcan named surak who had successfully negotiated ending the "final" war on Vulcan. these 2 will help the K&S represent "good".

Kirk noted "trapping me and forcing me to battle is not goodness." however the being retransforms to a boulder... like arguing with a rock... so the experiment proceeded. from the ent' chekov, McCoy, and Scott helplessly watchd the battle. [spears differs from "contest"]
Green advised Kirk that all eight should join to battle the natives, [um rock beings?] Kirk replyd that he knows that Green usually attakd during negotiations, when unexpected. indeed, while green talkd with kirk, g' walkd causing kirk to turn his back toward g's henchmen. during the dialog, Green's henchmen attakd. the four "good" wrestled with the four "evil" conquerors.

u.s. president lincoln threw mongolian conqueror khan [oops not yet].
first, khan [fur shawl] heaved a stone. when kirk turned to look, green punched kirk. the 4 pairs started wrestling.
kirk wrestled with green [red shirt].
klingon attacked lincoln.
t' [long hair] first quikly overpowerd surak, next t' started wrestling spock.
lin', crouching, threw klingon over his head and down to the ground, before he heaved kl' aside.
g' gripd kirk who jabd an elbow into g'. when g' pushed kirk down, k' kickd him using both feet.
after kl' fled, l' advanced and wrestled khan until l' swung khan away. finally, team evil retreated.

PART 2
the natives harmd the ent's "antimatter" system. they warnd kirk that they would only fix it if kirk wins. the crew warnd kirk that the problem will cause an explosion, ergo Kirk prepared for the next battle, by cutting branches and sharpening wood spears.
Surak went to urge green to stop, kuz he was a successful negotiator. s' ignored Kirk's protest that "even Vulcan logic will not sway treacherous people", because the test might be about preventing combat.
team evil also sharpend wooden weapons and tied surak. team good heard s's screams. Spock reveals that he doubts surak is screaming.
Lincoln pland rescuing Surak. K&S obey the plan by revealing their approach, as a distraction for the rescue mission from behind. k&s each carryd many wood spears.
Lincoln silently crept around g's henchmen to find and free surak.
spock threw a spear but khan dodged and lobd a rock. kirk dodged and threw a rock back. spock threw wood spears, and kirk joind that effort keeping team evil distracted. l' crawld and found Surak dead. g' watched l' while k&s stood, ready to threw more wood spears, but no target. l's distraction idea was wrong.
Lincoln returnd to the battlefield, [not the base] and reveald that surak died. suddenly, l' fell due to a spear in his back [probly the klingon avenged his honor for l' flipping him in humiliation and forcing kl' retreat. now he kild l' without honor from behind in revenge. when l' not a threat.] despite l&s died, k&s continued attak, despite only 2, for saving the ent's crew.
BATTLE
[note: other summary did not detail this battle. the many fans who could easily summarize the battle, did not, nor the previous wrestling, so i must type and summarize despite my weak memory, i needed to improve yesterdays version too, now fixd].

g' and kl' charge at k&s while khan again threw a rock. spock threw a spear but misd khan, so khan dueld spock, while t' attacked kirk. kirk toppld t' but kl' came and started dueling kirk. so t' crawled away from combat. g' watched ready to help whichever needed aid, but kl' kept kirk busy. kirk kicked kl' while spock wrestled khan. even when spock pind khan, khan rolls and pushd spock down. kl' pushd kirk down too. spock continued wrestling khan. kirk continued dueling kl' until kirk jabd his wood spear into the klingon who fell dead. [t' does not help, indicating kirk injured her. a casualty who cannot continue combat]. next, kirk ran to save spock by choking khan. from behind khan, he lowerd a wood spear over khans head and started choking khan. khan turnd and puld free then fled. also green fled, despite g' was fresh after resting, in contrast to kirk who was straind from fighting t', kl' and khan. kirk chased g' and takld g. g wrestled kirk and tryd to stab kirk using a pointy stick like a knife. kirk jumpd back away but grabd g's arm keeping the wood weapon away. they wrestled until kirk bent g's arm behind g's back and tackled g onto the point. g's own weapon kild g'.
now two dead from each side. [when surak went to negotiate, team evil tied and kild s'. l' died by spear. kirk speard kl' [not exactly stabd] and now in combat kild green. t' was injured so only khan remaind]. khan ran from spock ending the battle.
the boulder-being, who had watched, declared "kirk won, but BOTH used violence and kild" ergo "no difference between good and evil."
Kirk explained the human western philosophy: the difference is "we resisted fighting, only compeld by the threat to my crew," but evil usualy fights to control others and for personal gain.
kirk and spock beamd up. aboard the Enterprise, Scott reported that the anti-matter threat/problem is adjusting. after spock explained that the forms were images based on their minds, Kirk orderd Sulu to leave orbit. the Enterprise flew [not warping] away. to find undiscovered civilizations... leading to more adventure.
