The crew of the Enterprise are in need of a vacation. They have been working very hard without any real respite. They come across a planet they think might be able to provide that much needed rest. A scouting party is sent down and everything seems fine at first, but Dr. McCoy makes a comment about Alice in Wonderland and shortly thereafter a large rabbit appears followed by a blond haired girl.
He sends a message to Kirk stating that perhaps he is seeing things and maybe his judgment shouldn't be trusted. Kirk had not intended on going down there but is tricked into by Spock. Soon after arriving Kirk thinks about an old classmate and suddenly the classmate is there.
It was a really fun episode and I liked some of the fantasies that seemed to be happening. It would have been nice if come of those fantasies had been explored a bit further. One of the problems I had with the episode was that it took forever for Kirk and the others to figure out that what they were thinking soon after happened. Another issue was that the fulfillment of these thoughts was somehow draining the energy from the Enterprise, but it never explained why it did that. Also, near the end, Kirk allows everyone to take shore leave to have their fantasies fulfilled but he doesn't worry about the drain on power that will cause the Enterprise. The scene where Kirk is fighting with his classmate went on too long. Some of the other fantasies should have been given a bit more time and less taken up with his fight.
Overall, a fun episode that was a relaxing break from all the fighting and conflict they had been having lately.
