How Al Adamson got any money at all to make any of his horrible, badly done in every way, movies, is beyond me. This is one of the worst of the worst. Horrible direction. Horrible story. Horrible cinematography. The acting is beyond horrible. Even Regina Carroll's breasts couldn't keep me watching. How I sat through this entire mess, and why i waited (having seen photos of it in Famous Monsters) years to do so, shows that I'm A) A stickler to be punished and B) I'm hopeless when it comes to the lure of bad movies. HOPELESS like this piece of trash 'movie'. Naish and Chaney must have been truly in need of the money. Chaney looks like they paid him in cases of beer. Adamson would meet a terrible fate a few years later. But it came too late to save the audience from this really badly made movie. This is actually worse than Plan 9 or the Creeping Terror.

One of the things I've hated about Star Trek from the very beginning is common beings, mortal shall we say, defeating omnipotent beings. I never liked Trelane and absolutely hate Q. These are a series of stupid episodes which this one continues the tradition of. Star Trek is mostly for adults (See: the brilliant ANDOR for an example of Adult Science Fiction). This is Star Drek, and is weak as anything badly written. This is down there with the amphibian episode of Voyager, Move Along Home from DS9, And the Children Shall Lead from the original series. Just bad all around. It isn't funny. It isn't interesting. It's a cheap mish-mash of other terrible episodes. Please, just stop stupid rip-off episodes like this! People are crying that SNW will end with season 5. If this is the best the writers can do, just end it this year!
