Now you mention it, yeah, we have had a string of bizarre episodes recently. Your statement saying that even hours later you’re saying to yourself “I don’t know how I feel about that” was essentially my thoughts with rewatching this episode. Ultimately, I said to myself, “I’m going to see what Jess has to say about this one.” I quite enjoyed Elinor Donahue as Commissioner Hedford, and I’m with you on kind of living for her being annoyed with the situation, just wanting to get her job done, and then presumably head back home to Mayberry for a rest. The Blooby-blob, which, yes, I do believe that is the technical term, was a curious creature. I’m kind of on Spock’s side of wanting to study the Blooby-blob, and I was saying, “Kirk, at least let Spock make a reading. Just a, just a tiny little reading.” Now, concerning the ending, this is the reason why I was really looking forward to seeing your reaction, because I too was confused. It felt like the show wants us the viewer to find it to be romantic, and I wasn’t entirely convinced of that. My initial thought upon some reflection was, “Did she die? And this thing is now using her as a meat puppet? If so, that’s horrifying.” And then there was the concern of this war, and Kirk writing off the situation that they’ll “find another woman” which that was a fairly disgusting line. I was then thinking, “Is this just me? Am I missing something here? Now I really want to hear what Jess has to say.” I’m in complete agreement with everything you said in the post-episode thoughts, and I felt somewhat relieved that I’m not alone in having problems with the ending of the episode. Once it was all over, I gave you a round of applause and said, “I honest to God cannot improve on that in any way. That was some of the greatest post-episode thoughts that you’ve ever had, Jess!” To talk about Sulu for a minute, it appears that last week I misspoke. I had thought for sure that last week’s episode was the last episode for some time that Sulu would appear. I even looked on IMDB last week and double-checked, and it said that last week’s episode was the last one for a while with Sulu. and yet, he briefly popped up here. It appears I was mistaken and/or incorrect in my recollection. Or I don’t know, maybe Sulu’s appearances and absences are merely sporadic in this season and I’m remembering things wrong, I mean it has been some time since I’ve seen some of these episodes, but there are episodes in which he does not appear for the reasons that I mentioned last week. I apologize if I’ve caused any confusion. This reaction is definitely one for the books, and again I’ll say that your post-episode thoughts were magnificent. Just pure perfection. Thank you so much for this reaction, Jess!

Metamorphosis was one of the Star Trek TOS episodes that was adapted for Mandala Fotonovels in the 70s. The few that were adapted, including Amok Time and City on the Edge of Forever, were the viewers one casual visual access to Star Trek episodes before the advent of VCRs and advertised as such, that we could relive the adventure. I always had a great deal of sympathy for Companion - and empathy! - and for Nancy Hedford and Zefram. I remember as a child watching this and I was glad they had a positive ending. This may be a weepie reation for me. It was the first fotonovel that I bought and I still have.

Jess. From a personal perspective, having a literally lifelong absolutely loveless 'existence' myself of sixty years - I do mean literally! - I completely empathize with the characters in this story. I know how it feels! So I'm afraid I can't regard what Nancy said about not feeling love sceptically as you do. Sorry. As with 'The Girl in the Fireplace' and Reinette's reaction to seeing the loneliness in The Doctor's mind, "How can you bear it?" You exist with it in the only way that you can.

You're not crazy. Actually reminds me of a Black Mirror story.

I agree with your and Thomas above. Not cool. Not romantic. Not really an episode I rewatch, TBH.

This episode was like a ghost/possession story with a very idealized view of love. I can't help but think "What if they don't get along?" since they haven't even had a date yet. Or "Will their kids starve to death?" once Nancy/The Companion dies.
