Here is a weird one. Kirk, McCoy, and Spock find the long lost inventor of Warp Drive, Zefram Cochrane. He’s been missing for 150 years, but somehow he resembles a young man. He has been kept alive by “The Companion” a non corporeal life form that is in love is Cochrane.
I said it was weird. I’d say it is an decent episode, but I don’t feel its all that essential.
