Yesterday's post got me thinking about Star Trek, and given my bent, I couldn't help but think of Dagger of the Mind.
Kirk and Dr. Helen Noel beam down to investigate a prison colony. It goes without saying that part of the backstory is that Kirk made a pass at Dr. Noel, and she was receptive, and after an initial test of a device called neural neutralizer, Dr. Noel suggests to Kirk that the experience went a bit further than it had in reality.
And Catspaw where a woman turns McCoy, Scotty, and Sulu into mindless slaves but saves Kirk from that fate because he 'fascinates' her.
Then, finally, A Private Little War. The wife of the local chieftain uses a root to entrance Kirk into 'madness'.
No wonder I rewatched all these reruns when I was growning up.
