Beamed onto television screens on October 20, 1966, "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" remains one of the most haunting episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series. The episode examines what's left of a person after the messy, flawed bits are removed. It's a pulpy, gothic nightmare about identity, obsession, and the price of losing one's humanity.
It also gives Nurse Chapel one of her first and most memorable performances, putting her in the middle of a story filled with ancient ruins, cold machines, and a fiance who has transformed himself into something disturbingly inhuman.
With that in mind, the following are five reasons "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" is still worth watching today.
