While
orbiting what should be a dead planet, the U.S.S. Enterprise
experiences a moment of "nonexistence." Starfleet Command fears an
enemy invasion and orders Kirk to find out what caused the stellar
system disturbance.
On
the planet below, Kirk finds a man called Lazarus, who tells Kirk that
the effect was caused by his enemy. Lazarus has been chasing him with
the aid of a time/space craft and wants the Enterprise's dilithium
crystals to continue his search. The captain refuses.
When
Kirk takes Lazarus aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, it becomes apparent
that there is something strange about their visitor. He has incredible
mood swings, one minute sane and rational, the next exhibiting violent
rage. He also has a bloody head wound that disappears, then reappears
moments later.
Lazarus
manages to steal the ship's dilithium and return to the planet. Kirk
follows and discovers that Lazarus is two people — one sane and
one a madman, with one from an anti-matter universe. The sane Lazarus
informs Kirk that the beings can only appear in either universe one at
a time. Should both men be in the same place at the same time, both
universes would be destroyed. Kirk helps the sane Lazarus trap his
counterpart in an intermediate time corridor where they can hurt
neither the matter nor anti-matter universe, but where the two will be
trapped in fight until the end of time. |

I find it
difficult
to believe that they'd be at
each other's throats throughout eternity.
They can be injured and become tired inside
the "corridor" so it seems resonable to assume
that one of them would eventually get the better
of the other, don't you think?
Yes, I know it's just a TV show.
