Trivia
"Star Trek: The Original Series" is known as a great science fiction series but many of its stories contain archetypes of horror. This is the seventh of eight stories that contain a "ghost," what author Stephen King calls an embodiment of the past imposing its will upon the present. Other ghosts (whether supernatural or metaphorical) in the series can be found in Star Trek: What Are Little Girls Made Of? (1966), Star Trek: Space Seed (1967), Star Trek: Who Mourns for Adonais? (1967), Star Trek: The Doomsday Machine (1967), Star Trek: Return to Tomorrow (1968), Star Trek: And the Children Shall Lead (1968), and Star Trek: The Savage Curtain (1969). See more »Goofs

This Star Trek episode involves a life form or as Mr. Spock says 10 different light forms who light up outer space like a disco ball. Although all the crew members are affected in some way, the one who is totally affected is Jan Shutan who completely collapses after these aliens have briefly invaded the Enterprise.
Shutan is James Doohan's latest girlfriend and I have to say his conduct was most unprofessional as he leaves his post in engineering as his concern for Shutan is so unlike Scotty for whom the Enterprise engines are his first love.
These lights devastate a planet called Alpha Memory which is a giant computer complex for Star Fleet. But DeForest Kelley does come up with a solution that saves Shutan and kills the aliens.
Did you doubt that someone on the Enterprise would?
A subpar episode for Star Trek.
