[TOS] Season 3, Episode 11: Wink of an Eye
Rating: 2
Episodes featuring the ship being commandeered always seem a bit more exciting, and the time difference concept makes it fun, but it seems like this episode could’ve been a lot better if they had thought through the concepts a little more.

Notes:
Enterprise gets a distress message, but when they get to the planet they can’t find anyone
When they get back to the ship Kirk thinks something is touching him and he keeps hearing a bug noise
A lady shows up and kisses Kirk
She can move so fast that they couldn’t see her. She makes it so Kirk is “accelerated”
There’s some other super fast people too. They have cool semi-transparent silver clothes
A little problem with this episode is how they switch back and forth between the perspective of those who are “accelerated” and normal people. With how much faster the accelerated people seem to be moving, it seems like the entire accelerated side of the plot would happen in about 30 seconds in normal time
The Scalosians seem to be choosing mates. “I want to keep this one around. He’s pretty”
Spock and Bones figure out a way to accelerate themselves, and how to return back to normal. It seems like those two potions would’ve come in handy in later episodes, and for mankind in general
Kirk manages to stop the Scalosions and he sends them back to their planet to die off
