Queen Deela Wants Kirk As King
"Star Trek" Wink of an Eye (1968)
Season 3, episode 11. The Enterprise receives a distress call from the
planet Scalos. Kirk and a party beam down to the planet to find no one
there but they did find a strange insect-like sound buzzing around
them. The crew inside the Enterprise are still seeing the Scalosians on
the screen, they do not see the landing party and the coordinates match
exactly. McCoy is watching a red shirted crew member named Compton who
suddenly disappears right before McCoy's eyes. Kirk and crew beam back
aboard, they are watching a delayed, taped message from the Scalosians
on the screen. Strange things are happening on the Enterprise -
constant malfunctions, things in sickbay have been moved in the
cabinets, buzzing sound can be heard by Kirk and something invisible
touching him and more. Kirk discovers that something has beamed aboard
the ship with them. Only Kirk and Spock are allowed to search
engineering by the invisible aliens. A bit later Kirk grabs some coffee
on the bridge, then all crew members suddenly start moving very slow
then are in a state of suspended animation - suddenly Deela, Queen of
the Scalosians appears to Kirk. She grabs and kisses Kirk and
introduces herself as "Deela the enemy". Deela has made Kirk like
herself so the crew members only hear Kirk as an insect because they
move very quickly - accelerated. She wants Kirk as the King to her
Queen. The crew is moving at their own normal speed and can't see Kirk
anymore - he vanished to them. Kirk finds that what happened to him
also happened to Compton. It's up to Kirk to get back to normal from
his end, while Spock and crew try to get Kirk back from their end.
Another average episode that embodies what Star Trek is all about.
7/10
