In "Wink of an Eye", the Enterprise visits a planet emitting a distress call. The planet seems to be extinct... But in actuality, the beings of the planet, due to radiation, move at such fast speeds that they are imperceptible to the naked eye. These aliens need to speed up people in order to use them to breed offspring. The aliens speed up Kirk through some type of potion and a woman chooses him as her mate. They have modified the Enterprise to make it livable for them. Kirk must figure out how to get back to his own time duration and get these aliens of the ship. Spock and Bones must figure out how to counteract the potion.
This episode is an example of a really cool idea that was poorly executed. The writers definitely didn't think this one through. The crew of the Enterprise are able to accomplish wayyyyy too much in the allotted time. These Scalosians are suppose to be so much faster than the humans that Spock and Bones shouldn't have had nearly enough time to foil the Scalosian plan. It really took me out of the episode a bit if I'm being honest.
Still, I liked the idea and the supporting cast in this one is pretty good. Definitely not the best of Season 3 but there are definitely worse ones!
