Turnabout intruder series#
Yep, it’s not one of the series prouder moments where the portrayal of women is concerned, although as a woman who’s apparently criminally insane, Lester doesn’t quite represent her gender as a whole. Lester is a self-loathing woman who’s nursed a grudge against Kirk because Starfleet doesn’t allow females to captain starships, and once in Kirk’s body she takes over command of the Enterprise-but since she’s a moody, jealous and vindictive female her petty and erratic behavior soon starts giving her away. Janice Lester (Sandra Smith), using an ancient alien machine to transfer her life essence into Kirk’s body and vice versa. So it was with Star Trek and “Turnabout Intruder,” an unspectacular but fitfully entertaining third season story that has a bitter old flame of Kirk’s, Dr. did that on a regular basis-so TV shows could be repackaged for syndication and “stripped” to run every five to seven days a week in the afternoon and early evening, usually in a completely random order that was little-noticed by viewers as one stand-alone story led into the next. Episodic television wasn’t serialized-only afternoon soap operas in the U.S. In 1969 when Star Trek ended its three-year run, it was rare for a TV series to create an “ending” for the show-most shows simply ended their runs in cancellation, their creators no doubt still hoping for a pickup for the following season.
