Star Trek Babes - Season 1, Ep. 16: "Shore Leave"

Shore Leave was the last episode to air in 1966. Captain Kirk has the Enterprise ship halt above a planet where the crew will take shore leave (another way of saying R&R). Only problem is that whatever a person is thinking about while on the strange planet suddenly becomes reality.

So why was Dr. McCoy having thoughts about Alice in Wonderland? hmmm, I'd rather not delve into that one, but yes, little Alice shows up and the Doc freaks out.

 
Capt. Kirk has his eyes on the next target: Yeoman Tonia Barrows, played by actress Emily Banks.
 
 

Yeah, he's considering it.
 
 

Doc, thank God you saved me. This Captain is an animal!
 
 

But wait. Now the captain has thoughts about an old girlfriend. Ruth, played by actress Shirley Bonne.
 
 

Yeoman Barrows: I found the prettiest dress. I'm going to change right here. Don't look.
 
 

I told you not to look. You couldn't at least wait until I get my top on?
 
 
Okay, Doc, remember you have a reputation to think about. (Alice played by actress Marcia Brown)
 

The Doc's thoughts change. Now that's more like it Doctor. You need to stop thinking about little girls.
