HOLIDAY GUIDE TO STAR TREK: HALLOWEEN

...continuing on...

THE JIMSMASH HOLIDAY GUIDE
TO STAR TREK MOVIES

-(post #6 in a 7-post series)-

HOLIDAY: HALLOWEEN

TREK FLICK: STAR TREK: "THE CAGE"/"THE MENAGERIE"
*(yes, technically not a Movie, but "The Menagerie" is a 2-part episode)


WHY?: It's the crew, but not. Like Halloween, everything and everyone are weirdly dressed, things are not what they seem, monsters that aren't, and tricks & treats abound. People are trying to scare you... women are trying to tempt and seduce you by dressing in sexy outfits & green skin paint... It's as if even the cast themselves are pretending to be someone else. You always catch it once a year, and delight in the entertainment and nostalgia of it.

"Beep. Beeeeeep."
