Greetings, Trek fans! I’m Mira, your acting captain of the U.S.S. Original Series Rewatch for this episode, “The Naked Time.” Before we set course, you all have permission to take a minute and salivate over the possibilities conjured up by that title.

...Okay, ready for the real deal? No? Too bad. Here we go!



The Enterprise crew is intoxicated by an inhibition-stripping contagion. (Memory-Alpha).

( Episode Summary )

I’d like to thank all three of you who stuck with me through this entire recap. If you’re somehow still jonesin’ for more, check out TNG’s semi-sequel “The Naked Now” (a.k.a. the episode which reveals Data is “fully functional”), or share your own reactions in the comments. Otherwise, I’ll see you all next week back over at such_heights’s journal for a true sci-fi classic, “City on the Edge of Forever.” "Charlie X." Until then, live long and prosper!
