Swapping Bodies

Story: Turnabout Intruder
Written By: Arthur Singer
Series: Star Trek: The Original Series
Year: 1969

This is the last episode of Star Trek. It is pretty bad. It could be worse, we could have ended on Spock’s Brain…but we end here, in which Kirk swaps body with a woman. So we get Shatner doing his best over the top woman acting. Really bad.
Beyond that it’s just a body swap episode, its Freaky Friday on the Enterprise. It just isn’t a really thought provoking idea. And so ends Star Trek: The Original Series. But there was always a glimmer of hope for a better sign off….
