A Playful Episode
4 January 2017
Season 1, episode 15. The members of the Enterprise has been very busy for about 3 months and are really wanting some rest. They spot an uninhabited planet in the Omicron Delta region - no life at all on it not even a worm - and decided to take Shore Leave there. McCoy, Sulu and a three others were the first to beam down to the planet's surface while Kirk & Spock decided to stay aboard ship. Not long after the group beamed down, McCoy mentions that the planet looks something out of Alice in Wonderland, Mr. Sulu smiles and goes go check out the flora closely. The next thing McCoy sees is a large white rabbit passing my followed by a little blonde headed girl - of course he calls up to Kirk and Kirk only believes that it's McCoy's way of getting him down there with them but Spock ends up sorta tricking Kirk into beaming down with the others. As soon as Kirk arrives he's told more about the white rabbit and finds that others have had strange things to happen too. Kirk contacts the ship and says that the others should not beam down until the group on the planet investigates what's going on - why the rabbit, tiger, old nemesis and other odd things are happening on an uninhabited planet.

It's a playful, fun episode. It's not a good episode to introduce someone who is new to Star Trek... but great once you know what the original series is all about.
