On
the planet Pyris VII, two beings known as Korob and Sylvia have been
sent on a mission of conquest by their home world. Using a matter
transmuter, they assume human form to welcome the U.S.S. Enterprise
landing party.
When
one member of the initial landing party returns to the ship dead, Kirk,
Spock and McCoy beam down to find Scotty and Sulu transformed into
mindless zombies. Sylvia and Korob appear as witch and warlock and use
scare tactics to keep the officers from investigating the planet and
their motives. Kirk, Spock and McCoy are taken prisoner and shown
examples of Korob and Sylvia's "powers," which includes heating a small
model of the U.S.S. Enterprise over a flame and having the heat
transfer to the orbiting ship.
Sylvia
takes an interest in Kirk and decides to abandon her original mission
in order to learn about human feelings and experiences. When she finds
out the captain is merely using her to gain an advantage, she becomes
furious and retaliates.
Korob
ultimately helps the crew to escape, but Sylvia turns into a giant
black cat and crushes him. Kirk then uses Korob's wand transmuter to
destroy Sylvia's source of power — her amulet — before
smashing the wand. Their powers gone, the aliens revert to their true
form — fragile blue creatures who quickly die in the planet's
atmosphere. With their demise, Scotty and Sulu return to normal and the
landing party beams back to the U.S.S. Enterprise. |

A funny
moment
occurs as Kirk is chained to the wall
near McCoy and Spock. As Kirk begins talking to McCoy
he starts to call him 'Bones' until he notices a skeleton
chained to the wall on the other side of McCoy.
For the rest of the episode Kirk refers to McCoy as
either 'Doc' or 'McCoy.'
Go ahead, get out your DVD of this episode
and check it out . . . I'll wait.

Spock has
some
funny lines in this episode.
He does it so well too. No other person, with the
exception of Mark Lenard as Sarek, has ever
played a Vulcan as good as Leonard Nimoy.
He was born to play the role of Spock.

Dr. McCoy
This episode
was
deliberately aired close to Halloween.
It marked the only time Star Trek ever
'celebrated' a holiday with an episode.
Ok, I know Halloween isn't actually a holiday,
but I'm sure you know what I mean.

As alien
invaders
go, Korob and Sylvia aren't very
powerful; their only real weapon is illusion.
Then again, illusion is the only weapon the Talosians
had and they were a formidable enemy.
