The only reason that I watched the second half was that it gave me an excuse not to do something less pleasant, though I can no longer imagine what that could be. I watched 10 minutes of another episode a few years later, on the off chance that I had misjudged the series. I was totally correct in my initial evaluation of the show. It doesn't even qualify as grade 'B'! I might give it an 'F' to prevent bodily injury. Speaking in time travel tenses, the show /was not/will not/is not worth the film it was circulated on, much les the production costs!!! About shapechangers in Star Trek. Besides Garth, there were the two 'magicians.' I don't remember the name of the episode, but Sulu, McCoy, Kirk, Spock, and a few Red-shirts were captured by shapechanged aliens. At the end of the show they turned out to be small, blue green critters that were a cross between a starfish, an amoeba, and a chicken. orstcs/richardt "If I'm human, what are *YOU*?"
