*METAMORPHOSIS*



Kirk, Spock, McCoy and a federation official crash land in a shuttle on a planetoid inhabited by warp drive inventor Zephram Cochrane (who appeared young and healthy, despite being 150+ years old and long since presumed dead) and a mysterious creature - a creature who apparently arranged for the shuttle crash to provide company for Cochrane.

Elinor Donahue



An on-screen "stepsister" of a sort, to Leonard Nimoy, as she played the daughter of Jane Wyatt's character on "Father Knows Best" (Jane Wyatt playing Spock's mother in "Journey to Babel" and Star Trek IV: TVH.)

The "companion" special effect:



provides a direct link to Star Wars - as its designer, Richard Edlund would go on to become one of the fourteen founding members of Industrial Light and Magic and win an Academy Award for Star Wars: A New Hope.

Love this EP, I need to watch it again.

Zephram Cochrane was good in First Contact, glad the earth isn't all Borg now...

The voice of the companion (uncredited) was by Elizabeth Rogers. She would return in 2 subsequent episodes as Lieutenant Palmer:



- in relief of Lieutenant Uhura in TOS episodes The Doomsday Machine and The Way to Eden.

I watched it again. Really good ep. Love how Scotty was just going to look for them until they searched every asteroid. Elinor Donahue is really good in this.

You can always tell when an episode has a Gene Coon influence and this one definitely did. Looks like DC Fontana had her say as well.
