Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar (1969)
Season 3, Episode 18
5/10
Disco lights in space
2 August 2014
This Star Trek episode involves a life form or as Mr. Spock says 10 different light forms who light up outer space like a disco ball. Although all the crew members are affected in some way, the one who is totally affected is Jan Shutan who completely collapses after these aliens have briefly invaded the Enterprise.

Shutan is James Doohan's latest girlfriend and I have to say his conduct was most unprofessional as he leaves his post in engineering as his concern for Shutan is so unlike Scotty for whom the Enterprise engines are his first love.

These lights devastate a planet called Alpha Memory which is a giant computer complex for Star Fleet. But DeForest Kelley does come up with a solution that saves Shutan and kills the aliens.

Did you doubt that someone on the Enterprise would?

A subpar episode for Star Trek.
