Medusans Will Make Humans Go Crazy If The See Them
Season 3, episode 5. The Enterprise must transport the Medusan Ambassador Kollos and his lovely telepathic interpreter, Dr Miranda Jones as well as Engineer Laurence Marvick. A trained Vulcan can handle the sight of the Medusan with special vision glasses. It is Spock that will have to greet the Ambassador. The Ambassador is kept in an protective box and when opened for Spock to see it's a mass of blinding, sparkling light. Dr. Jones being an empath, has studied on Vulcan and learned the discipline needed to work with the Medusan with special glasses on. While at a special dinner, Dr. Jones tells the group that someone near is thinking of murder. Bones feels that Dr. Jones is vulnerable and there is something disturbing about her... Kirk thinks she's "quite a woman". Engineer Marvick is in-love with Dr. Jones but she does not respond to him as he wants... she wants to be with Kollos, the Ambassador. In talk with Marvick who knows her special abilities, Jones learns that he is the one wanting to murder - but he won't answer who it is. Marvick gets mad and enters into the quarters where the Ambassador is, sees it, and goes mad. The crazy Marvick sabotages the ship and they end up in an unknown void. Spock has to mind-meld with the Ambassador to get it back on course, to become one with Kollos. The crew then learn that Jones is blind. Now they have to get Jones' help with Kollos and Marvick to get everything back straightened out.
Still enjoyable to watch but it is one of the lesser episodes. Of course Star Trek fans will watch even the worst of the episodes as well as the best ones.
7/10
