When a routine medical visit to an Orange Julius planet introduces Star Trek’s first cranky scientist and hot babe duo, a member of the away team dies mysteriously and still the couple’s main priority is getting more salt. But after Nancy is revealed to be a shapeshifter and more crew deaths bring salt bae up to the ship, Dr. McCoy is faced with shooting his long-lost love to save Captain Kirk’s life. How is Greatest Gen like ancient Egypt? Who is a sexual velociraptor in the workplace? What do we have to look forward to with Yeoman Rand’s hair? It’s the episode that’s holding space for studio shenanigans.

I never really watched TOS (except a few clips here and there) and I was positively surprised by this episode! Cool sci-fi story (love a doppelganger infiltration) and good pacing!

I adore the plant monster puppet that was so clearly just a hand in a glove with plant/flower stuff glued to it.
