This episode of Star Trek prime should probably been done with a bigger budget, or when computer graphics came into use. You needed that to show the mass of humanity that was on the planet Gideon. Yet for a television show episode this one was effective and is a favorite of mine from the series.
Captain Kirk beams down to the planet Gideon, but when he materializes it looks like he's beamed into an alternate universe because he's still on the Enterprise, but no one else is. His entire crew has vanished and he soon finds a waif of a young woman played by Sharon Acker.
Acker tries real hard to get William Shatner's mojo going and she's doing her best and he's weakening. But more than a good time with Acker, he wants to find what's going on.
The secret is a frightening one. Two things you should know, what can make a place a paradise can also turn it into a nightmare. Secondly this is an example of the concept of right to life run totally amuck.
While Kirk is in his predicament, Spock is having a dual of words with the Gideon ruler played by David Hurst. Hurst won't let Leonard Nimoy come down and investigate. In the end Spock cuts some red tape, but even Vulcans can lose their patience and what he did was eminently logical.
One of the best Trekkie episodes ever.
