Tanya Lemani, born March 17, 1945 in Iran, appeared in the original series of Star Trek. She played Kara, the belly dancer, who is found stabbed several times in the episode Wolf In The Fold, the 14th episode of the second season. This is one of my favorite episode. It was written by Robert Bloch, who wrote Psycho.
Chekov and Uhura do not appear in this episode.
She has also appeared in the video Star Trek: Of Gods and Men.
One of the best Twilight Zone episodes, The Shelter, aired September 29, 1961. The episode followed a dinner party with a group of friends that is interrupted by a news bulletin that the country is under a nuclear attack. One family has installed a bomb shelter under their house. Their friends helped them build it, but when the crisis occurs, the friends turn against them.
Actor Joseph Bernard, who played Marty Weiss, also appeared in the Star Trek episode Wolf in the Fold. It was kinda gutsy at the time, but that was usual for the Twilight Zone, for its depiction of racism and paranoia.
Wolf in the Fold, the fourteenth episode of Season 2 of Star Trek (TOS) first aired December 22, 1967. Written by Robert Bloch (author of Psycho), the episode focuses on Engineer Montgomery Scott (Scotty) being accused of brutally stabbing three women to death. It reads as a spooky whodunit, unusual for a science fiction series, but it's one of my favorites.
Wolf in the Fold did stir up a lot of controversy, by its depiction of women as the victims, the killer's hatred of women and the misogynistic tone of the script. Most notably criticized is Spock's line that "women are more easily and more deeply terrified, generating more sheer horror than the male of the species."
It has also been pointed out that the psycho-tricorder is a "ridiculous invention-of-the-week". I have to concede this point since it is the only episode that involves such a gadget and we didn't even get to see it work.
But it also features the crew on a planet being subjected to their laws, something we don't normally see.
Dr. McCoy has some great one-liners. He once states he has a drug that could "tranquilize an active volcano". Later someone asks him what would happen if the evil entity entered a tranquilized body, McCoy says it would probably "take up knitting, but nothing more harmful than that."
