Star Trek Question

Ok I am trying to recall an episode of Star Trek where these harmless creatures on a planet had once been very numerous but had dwindled due to a shortage of salt. They could also put on the appearence of being a beautiful woman. The themes of it were how the body can control the mind due to addiction or nutrient deficiency, how some creatures will remain harmless given the right conditions and the usual perception/reality thing. So what episode was it, anyone?

 

"the man trap"

 

I think that was the episode with Dr. Crater and 'Nancy'.

.

 

beam up Mr Bush and set him back to earth in 1941 as a jew in germany .

 

As was correctly identified;the episode described was:'The Man Trap'.Which was incidentially,the very first Star Trek Episode to be premiered on t.v.:September 1966,NBC network, USA.

 

Trebbles are cute little fluffy animals. And it would be cruel to spade or neuter a harmless trebble...

 

I just happened to turn on the TV, which I usually hate, cuz I'm home alone on a Saturday night and what is on TVLand but ...A 'Star Trek' (TOS) MARATHON! I'm set 'til 7am tomorrow....sorry, but I just had to tell somebldy, lol!

 

bummer though, wasn't much of a "marathon".....i. mudd, the menagerie parts 1 and 2, and the enemy within

did i just come in late and miss the other episodes they were running? at least they're going to make it a nightly thing - hope they don't hack it up in editing like sci-fi channel did

 

It was on from 7pm 'til 7 am...

 

they're running it all weekend, aren't they?......i managed to catch a few more episodes last night

i must admit i dig the whole series - filmed during a time when method acting was all the rage - you can really see the characters get into it!

what are some of everyone's fave episodes?

 

They are running some of the more well-known episodes, particularly tonight...the lineup includes 'Doomsday Machine', 'Spectre of The Gun', 'Assignment:Earth' and of course, 'The Trouble With Tribbles'...but I'm still gonna watch.

 

i love "last cry for apollo"........and what's not to like about "mirror mirror"? - gotta dig spock's goatee, and uhura's sexy getup - yow!

 

The Man Trap
