Ooops, included a regular episode in there too..

Here's a poster from my pal Ptrope... He's the only person I know who actually claims this episode as a favorite...

There's someone who liked Majicks?  Huh.  The web is a weird and wonderful thing.

Yep.  He says "It's a great story with a radical premise (for '70s television, especially on Saturday mornings!): that 'the Devil' might actually be real, an alien, and not the evil entity we believe him to be."

That's definitely an ST premise, but goodness, the execution was SO phail.

Oh, yes.  As he goes on to say (and I enthusiastically second) "The Filmation cartoons were fun, but let's face it - the animation was pretty mediocre. I'd love to see this episode and other redone in CGI."

Here's another of his ST episode posters

Those are very artistic - not what I'd expect of a ship moddler.  Ptrope has real talent.

He is cool.  We also did some pulp novel covers of Star Trek episodes.  Here's our takes on "City on the Edge of Forever"

Those are a bit of a stretch in the pursuit of pulpiness.  Edith was practically a nun, if not actually - the episode didn't exclude the possibility.

They're great pulp, though.

When have pulp fiction covers ever been an accurate reflection of a novel's content?

Thanks!  The face morph is supposed to be of the character Willow from the show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."  It looks more like the actress in this Vulcan makeup than it does with a regular texture, though...

The popular stereotype of the researcher is that of a skeptic and a pessimist. Nothing could be further from the truth! Scientists must be optimists at heart, in order to block out the incessant chorus of those who say: It cannot be done.
