Stardate: 3025.3
Quick Summary: The Enterprise arrives at an uninhabited planet in the Amacron Delta region, looking to use the opportunity for some shore leave rest and relaxation. However, the initial landing party immediately encounters what are either bizarre creatures or outright hallucinations. It turns out that an alien people reside on the planet and read visitors' minds to manufacture whatever their imaginations dream up. Hence, shore leave for the Enterprise crew commences.
Review: I was rolling my eyes with dismay from the opening scene with a gigantic walking bunny rabbit before the opening credits even began. This was just atrocious. Quite possibly one of the worst hours of television ever produced. Ridiculous non-hallucination hallucinations included a swashbuckling Don Juan swordsman, a fighting samurai warrior, a jousting knight, dive bomber airplanes, a pride of Bengal Tigers (!), and more.
It was almost unwatchable, complemented even more with farcical music and a repeated poor-production-quality camera angle of a cheap radio antenna in the foreground as it read the crew's minds. It was so weak that I actually took note of the cool updo hairdo that Ruth was sporting. Seriously. A hairdo got my attention. Although one redeeming quality was watching McCoy get his flirt on, then get killed, only to eventually reappear alive with two scantily clad women on his hip at the end. Ooh la la!
As bad as it was, somehow I still got sucked in. Doh-god-I-love-this-series!
Review: 1 star
