This next episode is The Man Trap, the first episode to air with Captain Kirk in the chair! ✨ Brief Summary: The Enterprise visits the planet M-113 where Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy encounter archeologist Robert Crater and his wife Nancy. Crew members begin to die, the cause: no salt in their bodies. Thoughts: So Nancy is Bones’ ex-flame and her nickname for him is “Plum” haha Anyway, we have the first appearance of the medical tricorder! Also, the first “Dead, Jim.” 😂 Moving on, we have the beautiful Uhura flirting her hardest with the very logical Spock lol And another first: Spock saying “Fascinating.” So the salt creature is beamed aboard (because it can shapeshifte and disguise itself) and creeps on poor yeoman Rand. Next we have Sulu! His quarters are filled with these brilliant colored plants 🌺 So fun fact, the death toll is up to four crewman and none of them were wearing red shirts lol We get the first red alert! 🚨 Eventually, it is revealed that the real Nancy has been dead for years and the salt creature is the last of its kind. Wait hold up, Bones has truth serum? Lmao Anyway, Spock is injured 😭 and we see his green blood, but it’s all good because they give him a sparkly bandage 💎 Holy shit! Spocks reaction to the salt creature almost killing Kirk is amazing! 🤣 The creature‘s true form is revealed and it’s honestly kind of cute lol Unfortunately, Bones has to kill it…the last Buffalo. Loved this episode, I think it introduces a lot to the Star Trek lore as well as carries an interesting stand alone plot with a sympathetic villain 🖖🏼 Overall Rating: 8/10 Quote: “It’s killing the Captain, shoot quick!” -Spock #startrek #episode #themantrap #episoderewatch #startrektheoriginalseries #startrektos #tos #captainkirk #spock #vulcan #uhura #saltvampire #scifi #trekkie https://www.instagram.com/p/CdGozgzO3Ia/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
