Synopsis - The Enterprise discovers what at first seems to be a paradise but actually has plants that shoot poisonous darts, clay that explodes on impact when thrown, highly acidic rain, and culture that seems to have never progressed, has no idea what children are, and bows to a god that actually turns out to be a computer.

The Apple shows us a society run by a machine; a society that is, in effect, stagnant. Just a daily routine of living and feeding the machine that governs them; there's no procreation and no growth. This is really the first episode that deals so strongly with the Prime Directive on non-interference. Is Kirk really justified in interfering with this culture? Or, is the Prime Directive meant to be followed so strictly that it should turn a blind eye on stagnation.
