TOS - Wink of an Eye

Wink of an Eye is an above-average TOS epsisode that benefits from a great guest star. Kathie Browne absolutely nails it, as the "villian" Deela. TOS often lives and dies by its guest stars. Second-rate Jeff Corey helped ruined Cloudminders for me. But here, Browne makes Wink of an Eye very enjoyable. She brings the right amount of intelligence, playfulness, beauty, and strength to the role.

As for the story, its tightly written, but a rehash of other SF stories and previous Star Trek episodes. It  moves at a fast pace. Like Specter of the Gun (also based on a Gene Coon story outline) it shows that a low budget "Bottle episode" can be entertaining if done correctly.

I'd put it in the top 30 episodes of TOS.
