    Great show

    As a long time Sci-fi fan and a huge Star Trek follower, this episode was fun. Nice to see so many of the cast from the series.

    Never liked Star Trek!

    I get it.. Different episode though dare to be different.

    Nice spoof via several members of the Star Trek cast

    Every so often Diagnosis Murder let itself run off the rails a bit. This is such an episode. Dr. Travis and Steve Sloan set off for a fishing vacation in Utah. But when Steve leaves Jesse at the cabin while he looks to find some real beer to drink and not the light stuff Jesse brought, a fire prevents Steve from a return. When he does return he finds a Jesse who is distraught and suffering from paranoia. Jesse claims he was abducted by aliens and no one believes him. Jesse gets more confused as he meets people who also claim to having been abducted, "agents" who want to interrogate him, and people shooting at him. While it's not too hard to figure out what's going on, it's fun for fans to see all those familiar faces from Star Trek again; plus Billy Mumy from Lost in Space. A good episode with a fun mystery to solve.
