re: Star Trek: TOS Watchers - S2 - Return to Tomorrow *Page 14*

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.
