Assignment: Earth

[self-made-purgatories]

Canonically, Spock is drawn to small fuzzy creatures.

Jim is a Short King / small guy (in comparison to long tall Spock and his Vulcan bone density anyway).

Spock was in control of his emotionsTM about Jim until Jim grew out his chest and arm hair. Spock notices the change in Jim's body hair and before he knows it he finds himself doing Vulcan hand stuff sloppy style with fuzzy Jim right in front of Chapel and McCoy's salads in the sickbay

Coincidence? I think not.

Certainly, the cat is the best thing about this story.

Kirk- "What do you make of the cat, Mr Spock?"

Spock- "Quite a lovely animal, Captain. I find myself strangely drawn to it."

RIP to actor Teri Garr, who played Roberta Lincoln in the TOS episode Assignment: Earth, which was an intended pilot for a spy-fi inspired spinoff of Trek.

She appeared in some majorly impressive films in the 1970-80s, including Young Frankenstein, Mr Mom, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Tootsie

Assignment: Earth is lowkey funny because Kirk is like: Spock, how can we know what to do? Do we prevent Gary Seven's sabotage or let it happen?

And Spock, being completely unhelpful: It is difficult to know, Captain

Kirk: Okay lol, let's have no plan and do both at the same time, we'll decide at the last possible moment which one is the right choice. Put on a cute outfit, Spock, and could you also forget what the nerve-pinch is, you're gonna manhandle that secretary, we're beaming down!

Assignment Earth: While back in time observing Earth in 1968, the Enterprise crew encounters the mysterious Gary Seven who has his own agenda on the planet.

Dagger of the Mind: Kirk and psychiatrist Helen Noel are trapped on a maximum security penal colony that experiments with mind control and Spock must use the Vulcan mind-meld to find a way to save them.

WAIT I HAVE AN IMPORTANT QUESTION: Do you think Caitians and other humanoid felines are the descendants of the children of Gary Seven and Isis?

"I know this world needs help. That's why some of my generation are kind of crazy and rebels, you know? We wonder if we're gonna be alive when we're thirty."

Star Trek (the original series, s2e26, "Assignment: Earth") / April Tatro as Isis

What could be more appropriate for Halloween than a black cat? This one has the ability to shapeshift into a human form, with a rather eccentric sense of fashion. Or maybe it's just the fact that it was 1968.

It looks like she's just wearing a skirt and a bib--if there's a bodysuit as a foundation, I can't see it. Which means it would be highly impractical to move around in, and that may be why she pretty much just sits and poses on the couch. But then, cats have been known to do that too!

RIP to a talented actress, beautiful lady, and a Star Trek veteran.
