As campy as that was, even for the crew, I have to think what Spock might say: "Certainly odd, and yet it still has our ship captured." I still love that episode. As a kid the idea of gods being "just" alien visitors far beyond our understanding was genius, and as an adult understanding the much darker side of it that I didn't get as a kid (why Lt. Carolyn Palamas came back to the end scene looking all battered).

This is such a fucking accurate take. Endearing is definitely the best way to phrase it. Who doesn’t love a good ol’ giant green hand grabbing the ship like a fuckin frisbee?
