With these incredibly bad episodes it\u2019s hard to marshal the will to even write the summary of the plot.\u00a0 After all they took almost no effort in writing the damn thing.\u00a0 Why should I have to waste time repeating it?\u00a0 Well, c’est la vie.<\/p>\n
Scotty is in love with a Lt. Mira Romaine who is on a mission with the Enterprise to visit \u201cMemory Alpha\u201d which is the equivalent of Wikipedia.\u00a0 But a giant cosmic plastic bag full of Christmas lights attacks the Enterprise and invades Romaine\u2019s brain.\u00a0 Then the bag of lights goes to Memory Alpha and erases the memory and kills the nerds working there.\u00a0 Then it comes back to get Romaine on the Enterprise.\u00a0 When it enters into Romaine\u2019s body Kirk has her put into the hyperbaric chamber and apparently forty or fifty atmospheres of pressure destroys this enormously powerful bag of lights without killing Romaine.\u00a0 Finally, there is a laugh filled moment when Spock, McCoy and Scotty all agree that Romaine is well enough to go back to work.\u00a0 Kirk yucks it up over this unanimity and exclaims, \u201cCan I stand the strain?\u201d<\/p>\n
Whoever wrote this thing must have spent fifteen minutes thinking it up.\u00a0 This must have been after they knew the show was doomed and they were just killing time until they started looking for new jobs.\u00a0 Scotty drooling and pawing at the girl is creepy and off-putting.\u00a0 It somewhat reminds me of the behavior of Gollum when he gets his hands on the One Ring.\u00a0 There was a scene when the bag of lights was taking over Romaine and she started making a gargling noise.\u00a0 It reminded me of the sound one of my dogs makes when he is about to throw up.\u00a0 It was the high point of the episode.<\/p>\n
The dialogue is vapid. \u00a0The plot is non-existent.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be kind and give it a 2 \/\/ 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
