311: ''' '''
311: '''Plato's Stepchildren'''
 
(First watched 2009-04-21)  Considering what is said about Shatner as an actor on set, I wonder if he found the ridiculous things he had to do in this episode insulting, or gratifying since it put so much attention on him.  This episode just goes on and on with the scene where he's being forced to dance or act like a pony for Alexander and yada yada yada.
 
In the end, they win by way of learning the secret of giving regular humans powerful telekinesis... never to be heard from in Star Trek again.

312: '''Wink of an Eye'''
 
(First watched 2009-04-22)  Interesting premise executed in an extremely flawed and inconsistent way.  The sped-up people seemed to be going so fast that the regular people were completely still... except when they were sometimes just really slow.  And at those kinds of speeds, the time taken in this episode should've been months?  They show a regular-time scene of Spock and McCoy, but on either side of it there are fast-time scenes with Scott frozen in the same place?  During the time when it's still showing fast-time with Kirk and Spock at the end, it goes to an external shot of the Enterprise which appears to be orbiting at regular speed?
 
I notice this episode has a pretty obvious "putting on the boots" scene.
 
Second episode in a row where they come upon some amazing discovery that can give powers (albeit with a dangerous side-effect) to a regular person, never to be heard of in the franchise again.
 
Also the second episode in a row where some species of small population tries to force people to stay behind for their own benefit.  Really, beyond the kidnapping thing neither of these worlds were so bad--surely if they'd just sent out the space equivalent of Want Ads people would gladly answer.  "Wanted: Doctor to infrequently help a small colony in usually good health."  "Wanted: Anyone biologically compatible and willing to mate at high speed."
