Template:ST episode "The Lorelei Signal" is an episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series.

Plot outline

Investigating a sector of space where starships have disappeared every 27 years, the Enterprise finds a race of beautiful women living on the planet Ford Taurus.

While in the Taurus system signals begin to affect the male crew, causing them to hallucinate. Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Doctor McCoy, and Lieutenant Carver beam down to the source of the signals.

After arriving on the planet they are taken prisoner by the Taurean women. The landing party begins to age rapidly as a result of life-draining headbands they are forced to wear.

On board the Enterprise, Uhura has taken command due to Scotty's irrational behavior. Uhura orders an all-female landing party to transport down to rescue the men.

Notes

Due to Uhura's commanding role in this episode, Nichelle Nichols has named this as her favorite episode of Star Trek. A similar plot appeared in the Voyager episode Favorite Son.
