[TOS] And the Children Shall Lead

[TOS] Season 3, Episode 4: And the Children Shall Lead

Rating: 1

This episode doesn’t have anything I can think of in it’s favor. No great story, or concepts, and typically we at least get some cool character moments to carry us through an episode, but this episode doesn’t even have that. –

Notes:

They find some dead people on a planet.

The children of the people who died don’t seem that bothered. I think I used to have bed sheets that looked exactly like their clothes

Kirk starts to feel weird so they leave

Kirk tries to get answers from the children, but they just start saying “busy” over and over again and run around

The kids summon a man dressed even stupider than them. He tells them to take the ship to another planet

The kids summon a man dressed in possibly the worst costume in all of Star Trek

The kids have magic powers when they shake their fists

They make Sulu see swords

They make Uhura think she’s old

Kirk tries to get them to snap out of it

Did they make Spock think he’s Cyclops?

They make Kirk think that he lost command of Enterprise.

Kirk overcomes the manipulation and gets the glowey man to come back

Kirk overcomes the manipulation and gets the glowing man to come back. The man says something about how he can’t control adults because they’re too gentle, and must be eliminated. So kids don’t have any gentleness?
