Star Trek - The Original Series, Episode 32: Friday's Child [VHS]
Our favorite Starfleet trio, Captain Kirk (William Shatner), Mr. Spock  (Leonard Nimoy), and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) beam down to Capella IV to  persuade the resident warrior race to sign up with the Federation.  Unfortunately, a Klingon agent named Kras (Tige Andrews, the captain of TV'sMod Squad) has preceded them and set enough doubt into play that the  take-no-prisoners Capellans decide to give Kirk and company a hostile reception.  Written by story editor D.C. (Dorothy) Fontana, "Friday's Child" has the broad  outlines of a Western, with the good guys getting rebuffed by hostile Indians  and a final showdown with crude weapons set up in the barren hills. Julie  Newmar's guest role as Eleen, wife of a former ruler and a pawn in the barbed  politics between Kirk, Kras, and the Capellans, even has something of the  frightened but stoic native princess about it. Viewers hoping to catch Newmar in  a Capellan catsuit, however (an extension of her iconic, sleek presence as  Catwoman in the oldBatmanTV series), will be sorely disappointed: Eleen  is quite pregnant, fit to burst and placed in McCoy's capable hands.Trekstalwart Joseph Pevney directed this action-adventure piece, which contains one  of the good doctor's most memorable utterances, spoken when Eleen expects McCoy  to carry her up a steep hill: "I'm a doctor, not an escalator!"--Tom  Keogh
