Star Trek TOS: Episode 42 - OBSESSION

As a member of the Farragut, Kirk failed to destroy an entity that killed much of the ships crew .. including his Captain. This cloud like vampire suck the hemoglobin out of red blood cells. Or something like that. Well, now this entity is back. It has already killed Ensign Ratso Rizzo and Kirk wants to kill it. One may say that he is obsessed ... or has an Obsession ... by men. So, a crew member has just failed to destroy the space vampire and Kirk rips him a new one. In a crazy twist, this crewman is the son of the Farragut Captain!

So Kirk is going nuts trying to get even with this thing. In the end he teams up with the Captain of the Farragut's son and they kill the creature with a bomb. This was a well crafted episode. It shows a Kirk in a different light as he is tortured by a regret from his past. But, the highlight of this episode is the disturbing looking nurse that is with McCoy. I mean...honestly, she's fuggly.
