Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Janice Lester, a lover from Kirk’s past, uses alien technology to switch her consciousness into his body and vice versa, so that she can take command of the Enterprise and become a Starfleet captain as she always wanted.
Our Take
The series goes out on a weirdly regressive note, with a premise about a woman denied captaincy that the script handles clumsily at best. Shatner gets to play someone else for once and clearly has fun with it, which keeps things watchable. A middling farewell, but fans will want to see how it all ends.
