Star Trek Babes - Season 1, Ep. 26: "The Devil in the Dark"

Talk about strange things going on in space. Not a single woman appeared in this episode (how is that possible in a Star Trek show?) except for this unnamed crewmember that quickly walked across the bridge. Oh, and the female creature killing everybody because her eggs were being stolen or damaged by people working on its planet.

Star Trek Babes - Season 1, Ep. 25: "This Side of Paradise"

The crew learns that a deadly disease has engulfed the planet Omicron Ceti III and all Earth colonists that settled there several years before would have died, but when they beam down they find everyone alive and healthy. They later learn that everyone's perfect health has something to do spores that shoot out from certain flowers. When a beautiful colonist, Leila Kalomi, has the spores sprayed into Spock's face, he falls in love with her. The Vulcan who should have no emotions gets all mushy in this one.

Star Trek Babes - Season 1, Ep. 24: "A Taste of Armageddon"

Talk about weird stuff going on. In A Taste of Armageddon, the crew visits a planet that's using computer simulation (basically a video game) to fight a war with another planet. Since its just a high tech video game thingie, no one really gets killed during "the war". Instead, the planet that "lost" a certain number of people in "the game" must have that many people taken to a chamber where they actually DO GET KILLED! Leave it to Capt. Kirk and crew to clean up this mess.

 
Yes, Captain, I shave them every day. Anything else?

Sorry, Mr. Captain, did I embarrass you by saying your fly is open?

In this brief 1-minute clip, Miko Mayama appears modeling a bikini and her top falls off. (It was made for TV, so don't get your hopes up on seeing anything really good).
