The Way to Eden TOS Season 3, Episode 20

Join me as I cover #10 on my top 10 worst episodes of Star Trek list. This episode is not only goofy for having a bunch of hippies running around the ship having jam sessions with the crew, but it's also boring, and the commentary the episode makes is horrendous. As it paints the hippy movements as a bunch of idiot kids who need to shut up, get a hair cut and tow the line. Plus their leader is a negative commentary on Timothy Leary as it tries to paint him of someone who was once smart but is now insane. Also why can anyone take over the ship so easily just by going to auxiliary control, I mean the door isn't even locked. Why do they have a "commandeer the ship here room" it just makes no sense.
