Star Trek TOS: Episode 49 - RETURN TO TOMORROW

"Telepathic aliens take control of Kirk and Spock's bodies with the intention to build new, mechanized bodies for themselves."

This is the one in which Kirk encounters Sargon, the glowing crystal ball. There are also a few other globes ... they belong to Dr. Ann Mulhall. That was actually a joke. Whatever. At first these entities forcably take control of the crews bodies. But, Kirk senses that they mean well and he "offers up" their bodies for the entities to use. They will then build robot bodies and transfer themselves into those. What a very un-Kirk decision.

Spock claims that these entities have travelled the galaxy forever, making new civilizations. He thinks it may explain some Vulcan history and even Adam and Eve. But it doesn't seem to explain Adam and Steve.

Hmmm...I don't think I've ever seen this one. Wouldn't you just love it if your commanding officer decided for you that your body should be host to some disembodied entity?
