Nogg's PTSD following the loss of his leg gave the show a portrait of masculine vulnerability and psychological recovery that Ittick's celebration of full humanity demanded.

I can make arguments for things like Far Beyond the Stars, It's Only a Paper Moon, In the Pale Moonlight, The Inner Light, City on the Edge of Forever, Space Seed.
