The Enterprise is practically hijacked by a being of pure will, one of three ancient survivors of an extinct race (kept alive in a funky day-glo bubble) who makes a modest request of the human crew: lend us your bodies. It's only supposed to be temporary, just long enough to build a set of android substitutes to house their energy, but the devious character who lucks into Spock's Vulcan vessel likes his new flesh and blood and decides not to leave. It's bland drama but great fun as a character piece: Nimoy smirks and flirts as the cocky, swaggering kidnapper and Kirk still gets the girl, even with an alien pulling the strings. Diana Muldaur, who went on to play Dr. Pulaski during the second season of The Next Generation, makes her first of two original-series appearances in this episode (she appears as a different character in episode 62, 'Is There No Truth in Beauty'). --Sean Axmaker Kirk, Spock, and Dr. Ann Mulhall allow noncorporeal beings to inhabit their bodies while these aliens prepare androids for themselves. One entity, however, secretly decides to remain in Spock's body! *TREK TRIVIA* Diana Muldaur (Dr. Ann Mulhall) appeared as Dr. Miranda Jones in 'Is There In Truth No Beauty?' and portrayed Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kate Pulaski during the second season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. This episode was the first to postulate the theory of an ancient space-faring race seeding our galaxy, and produced one of Star Trek's classic bloopers-William Shatner's 'Have no fear...Sargon is here!'

The Enterprise receives a telepathic message from a being called Sargon, whose intellectual essence is housed in a sphere 100 miles below the surface of the planet. Sargon, his wife Thalassa and his enemy Henoch are the last survivors of an advanced species that committed suicide via a fratricidal ... Read More Rating - Pardon Me While I Borrow Your Body This is the strangest and most atypical of classic Trek episodes. Neither Kirk nor Spock is the problem-solver. Their bodies are borrowed by advanced beings whose minds have been trapped inside crystal balls for half a million years. Understandably they are eager to get out of those balls and into bodies. In addition, guest-star Dianar Muldar lets her body be borrowed by a female alien, making three (Kirk, Spock, Muldar). The ending, in which two of the ... Read More Rating - Not bad In this offbeat episode, aliens change venue from giant spheres to crewmember bodies. Most of this episode lacks the action feel of many of its neighbors; it has an operatic, schmaltzy feel more akin to Metamorphosis or several 3rd season shows. Yet, I actually feel the episode takes a turn for the worse when the plot takes several predictably threatening turns. The action and drama are turned up, but at the expense of some of the episode's uniqueness; it ...

Too bad the producers didn't use that catch phrase to promote the latest Trek movie. I can't remember such an unusual episode in a long time. The best part of this episode is hearing James "Scotty" Doohan as the voice of Sargon. He's the evil alien entity who is left from a long dead civilization that makes us look primitive. It wasn't until I read the back of the cassette box that I discovered that Doohan ...
