Star Trek Babes - Season 2, Ep. 1: "Amok Time"

This is the famous "Spock gets Pon Farr" episode. What is Pon Farr, you ask? It's a disease every Vulcan gets once every 7 years. To put it quite mildly and simply, the disease makes the Vulcan so horny, if he or she doesn't have sex soon, the Vulcan will become insane and die.

Yes, I know, that's nothing new. It's something a lot of humans on Earth can relate to as well, but that's beside the point.

Oh, my. What man wouldn't want to have been around when some of the Enterprise's sexy female crewmembers got Pon Farr, such as when super hot Vulcan T'Pol got it in Star Trek: Enterprise, "Bounty", Season 2, Episode 25. Or when half human, half Klingon B'Elanna Torres got it (after being "infected" by a Vulcan) in Star Trek: Voyager, "Blood Fever", Season 3, Episode 16. But we still have a ways to go in this blog before we get to those episodes, so back to Spock.

In "Amok Time", Spock begins to show signs of "the madness" and demands Captain Kirk return him to the planet Vulcan, but he is too embarrassed to say why. Next thing we know he's looking at a picture of a little girl and we wonder...Whoa! What is this Vulcan perv thinking?


Fortunately, we soon learn that the little Vulcan girl in the picture is now a grown woman on planet Vulcan and who Spock was telepathically mated with when he was a boy and who he will some day marry. And have sex with so that Pon Farr doesn't kill him.



The "guest beauty" of this episode happens to be a Vulcan named T'Pring (the little girl all grown up). T'Pring is played by actress Arlene Martel.

Vulcans have 10 times the strength of humans. A honeymoon night with T'Pring could be very interesting.
