Storyline
The USS Enterprise explores the center of the galaxy, looking for the heart of creation. When a matter-energy whirlwind grips the ship, a satyr calling himself Lucien appears and saves them. Lucien takes Kirk, Spock and McCoy to the magical, alternate dimension planet of Megas-Tu, but when the Megans discover the presence of humans, they put them on trial - the same way as they themselves were when they visited Earth centuries earlier in Salam, Massachusetts.

Now b4 I continue I read the trivia for this ep. The main was to be God but NBC said no, Lucifer was fine? Man have we changed w a series like Preacher, anyway I don't want to spoil it so sufficient to say , watch this . The subplots of some of the Puritans of Salem is interesting. One side note if you watch this whole series the soundtrack will stick in your head like glue. The whole sequence for action or thrills will become an ear worm and it's so irritating at that. So about this ep, after its over remember this was on Saturday morning along w Sealab 2020, Fat Albert etc. Daring , "daring indeed Captain ".
