Unnatural Selection

This Story: Season 2 Episode 7 (production code 133)
TNG Overall: Episode 33

Notes

  • The model for the Lantree ship in this episode looks an awful lot like the Grissom from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
  • The way they reverse the aging is rather similar to the plot of the animated series “The Lorelei Signal“.
