The Animated Series Season 2: How Sharper Than A Serpent's Tooth

The Animated Series, Season 2
"How Sharper Than A Serpent's Tooth"
Airdate: October 5, 1974
21 of 22 produced
21 of 22 released

Synopsis

"Captain's Log, Stardate 6063.4. The Enterprise is tracing the origin of a mysterious alien space probe. It approached the Federation home worlds, made a scan of Earth's system and signaled outward into space. Before it could be intercepted, the probe self-destructed. We are following a trail of disrupted matter left by the probe's highly advanced propulsion system. Thus far the trail has not intercepted any inhabited star systems." On this tracking mission, the Enterprise is eventually confronted by a vast starship which projects the image of a lizard god, Kukulkan. This god imprisons the Enterprise in an energy bubble and abducts several crew members, demanding their worship.

Kelly's Star Trek Dress

Cross-posted on my other blog: Kelly Learns to Sew

With a week and a half to spare, the Star Trek TOS minidress is nearly complete. And I'm halfway happy with it. (I'm never very happy with my work; I think I've become my grandmother.)


Looks like a red burlap sack.

Though they successfully evade their attackers, the crew of the Enterprise finds that things have become a bit unusual. A practical joker seems to be running amok, and it turns out to be the ship's own computer.
Or maybe it was all of William Shatner's co-stars...
