Sulu, McCoy, and others are investigating a planet for shore leave, when a white rabbit appears. After Kirk, and then Spock, beam down, they discover that many things imagined come to life. Believing that none of it is real, McCoy lets a knight kill him, and soon after, Martine also dies. Of course, none of it is real, and McCoy and Martine are just fine.
It was a fun episode, a good break after the seriousness of the past three episodes, where Kirk and Spock both had to stand trial. I wish that Kirk and Spock had shown more grief at McCoy's death, but other than that, this episode wasn't all that cheesy, despite the material. Well, and that you could see the chain around the tiger's neck. Not that all cheese is bad, but this one had the potential to be terrible. Luckily, it wasn't. It instead sparked the imagination, and made me wonder why none of them imagined great sexual fantasies, as I would have. Oh, well. Perhaps if it was ever redone for HBO... :) I would love to go there. I'd imagine... Oh, crap! The Stay-puff Marshmellow Man!
