Deela (Katie Browne) is one of only 5 survivors of an alien race that lives in accelerated time, so she and her cohorts appear like buzzing insects until she spikes Kirk's coffee with alien water. He accelerates also, but one of the luckless "red shirts" only lives for about 10 minutes and misses out on a "date" with the other alien girl, a red-headed beauty. Of course "Deela" is also a "knock out" with big blonde hair. She is also very well-endowed, or at least her skimpy costume is. Our oversexed Capt. Kirk probably "scored", as usual. The hyperactive aliens use "inferior" beings to repopulate, as all their men are sterile. That's a big plot-hole: It can't be working too well if they are down to 5 people! (There should have been more "extras".) A well-paced episode with an otherwise good premise. All the action takes place on The Enterprise, which the aliens intend to turn into a big suspended animation "meat locker" to store the frozen crew as they need them. Spook and Dr. McCoy manage to save-the-day and rescue our poor Captain before he is "burned out" from cell damage and lovemaking. It's amazing that none of the sick or dying aliens can ever come up with their own "miracle cures", but "Bones" always can! A fun episode with a sexy alien pin-up girl!
