			      METAMORPHOSIS

PLOT:
=====
While transporting   an   annoying   Starfleet   ambassador/observer  wench
somewhere (she caught a disease on her last assignment and McCoy is worried
the whole  show  that  she  is  going  to  die), the  Enterprise receives a
distress signal.   An  Enterprise shuttlecraft  (along with  the wench, who
went along to the planet for some reason) is forced down to the planet that
the signal originated at.  On the planet they find Zephran Cochran, who has
been kept  immortal  by a  cloud of  electricity called  the Companion, who
brought Kirk, et.al.  to the planet to keep Zephran company.

FACTS:
======
 - First episode with Gene Roddenberry in opening credits?

 - Miss Hepburn was this week's dork.

   ago at the age of 87.  He was the inventor of the warp drive.

OPINIONS:
=========
Plot was fine, but the wench spoiled it.
