review by
Mike Haberfelner



Kirk (William Shatner) and Spock (Leonard Nimoy) of the Enterprise pay a visit to an asylum planet, where Captain Garth (Steve Ihnat), one of Kirk's idols, is kept for a severe case of megalomania - and as it turns out, Garth has since developed shapeshifting abilities, has taken on the form of the head doctor of the asylum (Keye Luke), and in his guise taken over the facility. And now he incarcerates Kirk and Spock and in Kirk's guise tries to take over the Enterprise. Thing is, Kirk and Scott (James Doohan) have agreed on a password without which Scott is not to beam him up, so when Garth as Kirk tries to be brought back to the Enterprise but fails to give the password, Scott immediately knows something's wrong and refuses entry. He wants to send some security officers down, but they wouldn't get through the planet's force field.

Garth in the meantime tries to get the password out of Kirk with torture and deception and even has his consort Marta (Yvonne Craig) seduce him - to little effect, and instead his tactics only help Kirk to find out his and the facility's weak spots. But he has to act fast, as Garth's insanity comes to the fore more and more, especially the more often he fails ...

 

Not all of this episode is very refined storytelling, and Garth's increasing madness is painted in a rather simplistic way, but in all, this is slightly chidlish fun, thanks also to Steve Ihnat's performance that really hams everything up beyond breaking point, but it's very fitting for his character. And Yvonne Craig's green-skinned Marta sure is a sight for sore eyes whilen she fills the role with the right spunk. So while you probably won't be intellectually challenged, you'll be greatly entertained.
