Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar (1969)
Season 3, Episode 18
1/10
Probably the worst Star Trek, if it wasn't for Assignment Earth. Then again assignment earth was not star trek, it was a cheap 007 rip off.

Warning: Spoilers
Basic premise is an entity of beings, Zetars, made of lights invade the Enterprise and tries to possess a hot chick, Lt. Mira Romaine, a woman (girl) that Scotcy is madly in love with. Scotcy puts her on top of a pedestal and disregards her intellect and basically treats her as an object. Kirk, Spot and Boner also act out of character.

Best part of this episode is the idea of an interstellar library, Memory Alpha. This was probably the best scene. After the entity kills everyone there the away team beams down and sees the death. One person before she dies makes some noise and her face turns different colors.

Back on the Enterprise, the Zetars invade again and try to possess Romaine. Kirk dumps Romaine's body into a pressure chamber, killing the Zetars, and the show ends.

This is the worst original Star Trek. It is still worth seeing. It's still Star Trek. But the ideas are half baked. The acting is generally crap. The characters act out of character and generally have little to do.
