Star Trek TOS: Episode 68 - ELAAN OF TROYIUS


Helen of Troy??? Anyway, great acting by France Nuyen as she plays the bitchy Queen Elaan. She has been set up to marry the king of their enemy race in a move to bring peace between the two. Kirk is here as sort of a mediator. The basic plot (in the beginning) is for Kirk to teach her how to not be a bitch. Of course he ends up hooking up with her as by touching her tears a man will become infatuated with her

The plot goes insane. There is a saboteur amongst the people, he wishes to ruin the wedding. He’s working secretly with the Klingon's. There is a big battle between the Enterprise and a Klingon Cruiser. Elaan becomes well behaved. Kirk discovers her necklace is made from dilithium crystals … and whole bunch of other stuff happens.

Okay, so is it just me, or is Elaan of Troyius kind of manly looking in the face?

I tend to agree with that
