 ### **Review of *Star Trek: Wolf in the Fold*** 
  
 *"Wolf in the Fold"* is a suspenseful *Star Trek: 
 The Original Series* episode that blends murder 
 mystery with supernatural horror. Written by Robert 
 Bloch, it originally aired on December 22, 1967. 
 The episode is known for its eerie atmosphere, 
 psychological tension, and a unique twist that 
 connects the story to the infamous Jack the Ripper. 
  
 ### **Plot Summary** 
 The episode begins with Kirk, McCoy, and Scotty 
 on the pleasure planet Argelius II, where they€€€re 
 enjoying shore leave. However, things take 
 a dark turn when a local woman is brutally 
 murdered, and Scotty is found standing 
 over her body, knife in hand. With no memory 
 of what happened, Scotty becomes the prime suspect. 
  
 As the investigation unfolds, more murders occur 
 under seemingly impossible circumstances. The truth 
 is eventually revealed: an entity known 
 as Redjac€€€an ancient, malevolent being that feeds 
 on fear€€€has been possessing different people 
 throughout history, including Jack the Ripper. 
 It has now taken control of the *Enterprise€€€s* 
 computer, forcing Kirk and Spock 
 to outthink it before it can wreak havoc. 
  
 ### **Strengths** 
 €€€ **Atmospheric Tension** €€€ The episode 
 masterfully builds suspense with eerie 
 lighting, unsettling music, and a sense of dread. 
  
 €€€ **Scotty in the Spotlight** €€€ James Doohan 
 gets a rare focus episode, showing a vulnerable 
 side of his character. 
  
 €€€ **Redjac is a Terrifying Villain** €€€ The idea 
 of an immortal, fear-feeding entity that has 
 haunted humanity for centuries is genuinely chilling. 
 €€€ **Clever Sci-Fi Spin 
 on a Classic Horror Theme** €€€ Blending historical 
 horror with futuristic technology makes for a gripping plot. 
  
 ### **Weaknesses** 
 €€€ **Dated Gender Stereotypes** €€€ Some dialogue 
 and attitudes toward women feel uncomfortable 
 by modern standards. 
  
 €€€ **Over-the-Top Final Act** €€€ The resolution, 
 involving Spock making the crew laugh to counteract 
 Redjac€€€s influence, feels a bit campy compared 
 to the rest of the suspenseful story. 
  
 €€€ **Limited Action** €€€ While the mystery 
 is compelling, the pacing in some parts 
 is slower than other 
 high-intensity *Star Trek* episodes. 
  
 ### **Final Rating: 84/100** 
 A strong, horror-infused episode that delivers 
 a compelling mystery and a memorable villain. 
 While some aspects feel outdated, 
 *Wolf in the Fold* remains an engaging 
 and eerie *Star Trek* classic. €€€€€€€€
