A classic Halloween tale for our intrepid crew. Again, we face super powerful aliens, with nefarious intent. Taking human form seems to present an opportunity. Can Captain Kirk find a way to free his ship and his crew from the grip of foes whose technology mimics the effects of magic?

Not one of my favorites growing up - but it has "grown" on me over the years. One of the few female leads who could really go toe-to-toe with the Shat.

Although primarily on the small screen, Antoinette Bower (Sylvia) had approximately 90 appearances on television series from 1959 to the early 1980s.

Little of the episode takes place on the Enterprise and the silly ending effects sequence has been much improved by the 2.0 revisions. Looks great now, the colors, sets and alien costumes really stand out from the average episode (similar to Squire of Gothos).

Theo Marcuse, another television vet was great in this as well - the henpecked, ostensible "commander" who loses control and feels compelled to assist Kirk at the end. He was in the wonderful Twilight Zone episode, "To Serve Man". He died the month after Catspaw first aired.

Catspaw is not a very highly thought of episode, but it is a guilty pleasure of mine.

I always loved the wailing witches at the beginning, as well as the other "spooky" elements of the episode like the dungeon and black cat.

When I was a child, I would have killed to have that miniature Enterprise model. You can get things like that easily now, but back then it was my Holy Grail.

I think this is one of the weaker efforts so far. For one, the having a trial is kind of played out. But really the way they just "concoct this theory about some entity that turns out to be "Jack the Ripper" is just too contrived and laughable. Also the fight scenes with Piglet, err Hiengist they use an obvious stunt double.

ETA If this thing kills 3 women in such short order (a day, fews hours?) why did it only kill 5 women in London over a longer period and why leave there?
