Robots ARE Buttons (TOS S1E24)

from Greatest Trek: New Star Trek Reviewed

When a grumpy Ambassador forces the Entrepreneur to ignore a Code 710, an away team beams down and learns the crew has been designated casualties of war. But after Spock starts taking out security guards and Scotty threatens to blow up the planet’s buildings too, Kirk destroys a war computer to finally end the ancient conflict. Where does the generational trauma not stop? What’s worse than a living person being disintegrated? Who doesn’t get enough credit for being physically imposing? It’s the episode that set the stage for huge collars on Star Trek.
