Okay, folks, I need a bit of help out there. Can anyone remember a plot from any of the Star Trek Series' where the crew acted like children?
They stay adults physically, but act like children of five or so. I can't remember if there was a plot like that or not.
Help would be MUCH appreciated.

Closest one seems to be the TNG episode "Rascals," but it's the reverse: crew members are physically transformed into children, but still act like adults.

Well, I went through the synopses of every single ittie bittie little episode ever made under a Star Trek logo, and the only thing I can come up with is The Naked Time, original series. But they don't turn childish, they just act out their deepest desires without inhibition.
Thanks for looking all.

The Naked Time...how the heck did they get a title like that past the censors? I suppose that's why they cut the actual line, "It's naked time!" from the script

Closest I can think of is when Uhura got her mind erased and they showed her talking like a little girl. Don't know the name of the episode though.

There was one where they all got drunk on TNG. (Sorry I don't know episode names.) It was some airborn thing, I remember the beginning where some kids threw a snowball at the captain from the holodeck. I think Wesley almost blew up the ship. Personally I think they all acted like children.

Okay, it took a while but someone finally built an entire thread off of Star Trek. Sigh....

Now it's only a matter of time before the "Who would kick who's butt? Kirk or Picard" and "Which is better? Star Trek or Star Wars?" debates begin to fly...


sorry...couldn't resist....

Well of course Kirk would kick Picards butt...what kind of stupid question is that?

Of course Picard would then do something really clever that got Kirk back.

And how can you even compare Star Wars and Star Trek...I mean c'mon, they have lightsabres and the Force and all those little Metachlorians :-)

Lol...I'm never coming back to this thread again...don't think I could stand to read what I know will follow :-)

There was a Star Trek cartoon series episode where they physically became like children.
