Start Trek: Season 1 - Episode 7: 'What Are Little Girls Made Of' (1966) - TV Episode Review

Official Score = 3 Devils

Star Trek... Well so far so good, considering the cheesy as hell nature of this series, I am going to have to say that it still rocks, and maybe still near the top of the heap when it comes to the remake series and the various spin-offs that have come out since then,.. And I think that the main reason for this is the fact, that where as it is true that this series is cheesy as hell, the cast and crew made it fun by giving it an edge of reality/possibility, by not making the actual characters in the show say cheesy lines, and making them for the most part fairly believable, and fun!

And Episode 8: 'What Are Little Girls Made Of' (1966) is no different!

Written by: Robert Bloch (Psycho) & Directed by: James Goldstone (The Bride In Black), Starring: William Shatner (The Devil's Rain), Leonard Nimoy (Invasion Of The Body Snatchers), Majel Barrett (The Man In The Santa Clause Suit) & Michael Strong (Point Blank).

Captain Kirk will share a meal with his Android double in this episode!

You see, in this episode Nurse Chapel (Majel Barrett) had lost her fiancee a long time ago, and is pretty excited when he is found on a mostly frozen planet, but when the, 'Enterprise' and her crew get down there, they come to discover that not only is her fiancee there, but a small group of Androids are there with him as well! But Nurse Chapel's fiancee is not what he used to be, and if Nurse Chapel, and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise want to get out of their before it is to late, they are going to have to find out what happened to the good Nurses, 'fiancee' and what the cavern they are living in actually is, before it is to late, and they are replaced!

Kirk & crew are going to have to figure out what is going on in this frozen wasteland before it is to late and he is replaced!

 The best thing I think about this episode is the fact that it has to do with being forcibly replaced by Android doubles... This type of concept in Sci-fi horror movies (like the, 'Invasion Of The Body Snatchers' series,) rocks, and this episode is really not much different!

In the end, it is a fun & very worthy episode, check it out, you might like it!
