Star Date: Season 1 Episode 2 The Man Trap

THE MAN TRAP

Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy and Creman Darnell make a stop to planet M-113 to deliver supplies and offer routine medical check-ups. One catch though: one of this planet's inhabitants is none other Bones' ex-Special Lady Friend, Nancy. Turns out, Nancy's quite the looker. As in, she'll look like whatever she feels like - dunh-Dunh-DAHH - Nancy's a shapeshifter who sucks all the salt out of her victims! And now the show starts taking off... cuz some crew is gonna die.

Bluetooth!

Looks almost as silly now as it did then!



Reaction:

Billy Shat's here people! Now we're rollng! Show does sort of pull me in. But admittadly I'm not sure if it's the show right now or just the knowledge of what this show becomes. Regardless, I admit a little thrill when Captain Kirk starts in with "Space, the final frontier...." The music is fun. These first few episodes have a Twilight Zone vibe as well that I sort of dig.

Questions:

Who is Yeoman Rand and where did she go?

Where the hell is Scotty? I want Scotty!
