When the usual three beam down on a world they notice something weird...it's all monochromatic! It seems that some sort of radiation in this world causes the eyes to not be able to see color! Additionally, something about this radiation also is killing the people off slowly. Can the Enterprise get to the root of the problem and solve it? And, what unusual discovery do they make about 20% of the people of this world?
The folks making this series had a few casting coups. Some well-known actors such as Erin Gray ("Buck Rogers") were guest stars...and in this one, John de Lancie ('Q' from "Star Trek: the Next Generation" and other Trek shows) and June Lockhart's daughter, Anne ("Battlestar Galactica") guest star.
Like many episodes of the original series, this one deals with contemporary issues...and I'll say no more about it, as I don't want to ruin the suspense. Regardless, it's a very fascinating episode...among the very best of the new shows. Very well written and it does make you think.
