63. What Are Little Girls Made Of? (1966)
Chapel searches for her fiancé & discovers a conspiracy for conquest using androids. Andrea is a fan favorite. Ted Cassidy (Lurch) stars as Ruk. Overall, a solid episode w/the first redshirt deaths and an early warning about A.I. What makes someone human?
Attorneys for the man accused of killing NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew, in a 2024 car crash continue to seek to have the charges dismissed.
Driver Sean Higgins’ blood alcohol level was above the legal limit the night of the crash.

64. Metamorphosis (1967)
We meet Zephram Cochrane who created warp drive. Elinor Donahue from the Andy Griffith Show guest stars. Her character annoyed me as she came off as a whiney princess. The episode generally gets high marks, but it was never one of my favorites.
