Star Trek TOS: Episode 59 - AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD

"The crew of the Enterprise rescues a group of children stranded on a planet, along with their evil "imaginary" friend."

For the most part this episode sucks, but the concept is decent enough. It's sort of a ghost story, but in space or something. Um, yeah. It rehashes the same "killer kids" plot from Miri. In this one the children are under the control of an "evil spirit" named Gorgon. He tells them to do bad things. The children summon him by saying the following "Hail, hail, fire and snow, call the angel, we will go, far away, for to see, friendly angel come to me." Those are the best 80's metal lyrics ever. ...anyway, terrible episode. Interesting note on these kids, the Asian kid is Takashi from Revenge of the Nerds, the girl was the voice of Lucy in the Peanuts cartoons and the dude on the left went on to create the musical scores for some of the Star Trek movies.
