72) Whom Gods Destroy

Enterprise Incidents with Scott and Steve

When Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock beam down to a heavily-guarded penal colony with an experimental new drug that may be able to cure the last remaining mental patients in the galaxy, they arrive to find that the lunatics are already running the asylum. Leading the charge is Garth of Izar, a former starship fleet captain who is totally off his rocker, but has developed the ability to change his physical appearance and plans to use that power to impersonate Captain Kirk, steal the Enterprise and hunt down his former crew who he feels betrayed him. Whether or not you love "Whom Gods Destroy" depends mostly on your appreciation of guest star Steve Ihnat's over-the-top performance as "Lord" Garth, not to mention Yvonne Craig's sultry turn as his bonkers-crazy green-skinned sidekick, Marta . Otherwise, there's not much to recommend in this late-3rd Season entry, which plays out more like a radio show and further demonstrates that "Star Trek" had lost its creative mojo and was truly on its last legs.
