TAS-11) The Terratin Incident

While investigating a mysterious signal emanating from a lone planet in the Cepheus System, the Enterprise is bombarded by an energy beam that temporarily immobilizes the crew and damages the ship's dilithium crystals. That turns out to be the beginning of a much bigger problem when the Enterprise crew begins to shrink, and it is only a matter of time before they become too small to operate their own ship. "The Terratin Incident" is a fun episode to be sure, but in this case, the problem is far more enticing than the solution. The greatest danger facing the shrinking Enterprise crew turns out to be the Enterprise itself, but the episode falls apart with a convoluted resolve that doesn't make sense. Regardless, when "The Terratin Incident" works, it really works, and who can resist the image of a tiny Captain Kirk trying to use a giant Communicator?
