I have a strong memory of this ep as a kid thinking it was hilarious when you saw a closeup of Kirk's face on the view screen. That & I liked the base concept that the main guest was multiple thousands pic.twitter.com/qE7uno4Y6r

of years old being many different people thru history. This ep is rather talky. There's a plot with Rayna the android being overwhelmed with "love" - but that part wasn't as intersting. Overall - "ok". pic.twitter.com/RNNKR7rGoF
