Star Trek Babes - Season 1, Ep. 23: "Space Seed"

In this episode we are introduced to hottie Star Trek crewmember, Lt. Marla McGivers, played by actress Madlyn Rhue. Unfortunately, she falls for the wrong guy; a leader from Earth's past named Khan.

The Enterprise crew find a doomed and ancient spacecraft floating in space. After boarding the ship, they observe an entire crew asleep and soon discover they are from Earth, from the 1990s! They also learn that the crew was made up of "super-humans" who had placed themselves in suspended animation incubators until they can be rescued. Capt. Kirk probably would have let them sleep another few hundred years if he'd known all the trouble that Khan would cause, including taking over the Enterprise. And it wasn't over yet. In the Star Trek movie, "The Wrath of Khan", the man continued causing problems for the Enterprise.

Captain, that washing machine is for clothing only. Not people.

Star Trek Babes - Season 1, Ep. 22: "The Return of the Archons"

This Star Trek episode did not offer anything outstanding as far as hotties go, unless you're a fan of Brioni Farrell, who played the role of Tula. You might find some decent pics of her somewhere else, but it didn't happen here. Instead just one shot of Uhura. Again. Never get tired of her.

In The Return of the Archons, the crew arrive on a planet called Beta III, where civilization is not up to par with Earth's 23rd century technology. It's more like Earth's 1800's era. It is the first time we hear the term "The Prime Directive", Starfleet's policy of not displaying their knowledge of technology or using it to interfere with civilizations that are unaware of space travel, even if it means letting an entire civilazion die. Of course, rules are made to be broken, so Capt. Kirk attempts to help a peaceful civilization overcome an evil force, even if it causes them to resort to a violent and war-like state.

Aye there, me lady. Thems are a mighty fine pair of dark stems holdin' you up.
