In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "The Mark Of Gideon," Gideon is a paradise seeking admission into the Federation. Well, it used to be a paradise. Today it has a problem: too many Gideons. But they have a plan! One that involves kidnapping Kirk, fooling Spock, and letting a young woman die. Pay no attention to the mass of creepy people watching.

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield," two people with god-like powers pursue each other for thousands of years across the galaxy. What drives their hatred? It's almost too silly to say.

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "Whom Gods Destroy," Kirk and Spock are on a medical mission to deliver sanity saving drugs to an institute for the incorrigibly criminally insane.

But HOW do the defeat him?
