Editorial:	T he Devil In The Dark is a testament to mankind fearing what he does not understand. First the miners take for granted the silicon globuales, not realizing that they were in fact eggs. Next, the Horta was just trying to defend her eggs being the last of her kind. When Kirk first wounded the Horta and then tried to discover why it was killing, that was the turning point in the episode; however the miners still feared it almost up to the end.
