Hated this one in high school, and hate it now. What a piece of crap. These two shapeless aliens take human form (and pick hideous ones at that), they "curse" the Enterprise and trap the crew in their Gothic castle. The episode is full of mindless Starfleet zombies, gigantic black cats, witches, the most awkward make-out scene between Kirk and a woman, disturbing extreme close ups and lazy plots. The control of the Enterprise is left to Lt. DeSalle .... who?? And Chekov's hair is friggin enormous. I can't possible explain how messed up this episode is, it's a must see just for the curiosity factor. Morbid curiosity note: the actor that plays the alien Korob died a few months later.
I'll rewrite this episode. Kirk finds a magical catspaw that grants him three wishes. Wish number one - he wants 200 dollars. So, his balls get blown off in a phaser accident and he's compensated 200 bucks. Wish number two - He wishes for his balls back. There's a knock at the door and he opens it to find the two Madballs that he lost as a child. Wish number three - He wishes for Gung Ho on VHS.ST TOS COUNTDOWN: 37 down 43 to go

Rock the catspaw
i tend to agree with this...i never liked this episode.
and I like your plot idea better...i'm still trying to remember your "fan fiction" story from high school
"Wish number three - He wishes for Gung Ho on VHS."
Aren't you the guy who's always complaining that on Star Trek, the people in the future seem to only be fans of movies produced in the 20th Century?
Maybe you mean the 22nd Century remake of Gung Ho.
That is a darn good comment. I would indeed complain about that! Maybe they will do a Gung Ho remake, but it will be a Starship factory
