Plato's Stepchildren

Common card · No. 348166

"Plato's Stepchildren" is the tenth episode of the third season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek. Written by Meyer Dolinsky and directed by David Alexander, it was first broadcast on November 22, 1968. In the episode, the crew of the Enterprise encounter an ageless and sadistic race of humanoids with the power of telekinesis. The episode is notable for depicting a kiss between a white man (Kirk) and a black woman (Uhura), which was among the earliest instances of this on a US television show. It was one of several episodes not screened by the BBC because of their "unpleasant" content, including torture and sadism.
