A l t e r E g o 9 Posted June 16, 2003 Created by ANDREA IZZOTTI The Elasians are a fierce population of the Elas planet,one of the planets of the Tellun system, for long time in war with the TROYUS planet. They are also devoid of any sense of the diplomacy. Dilithium crystals are abundant on Elas, which has the Klingons interested in the planet. Using of the primitive knowledges of interplanetary flight, Troyius has dragged Elas in a war for the dominion of the stellar local system. The Federation has sent of the negotiators in order to set end to the conflict, that had been able to combine a wedding between the daughter of the ruling family of Elas, Elaan, with the governor of Troyius. The Elasian ship had atomic propulsion. Women of Elas have magic tears that make you fall in love with them when touched and the spell never wears off . There was no antidote to the spell the tears cast., but McCoy finally does to come up an antidote. Dolman (the princess of Elas) is wearing a dilithium crystal necklace (and she changed dress six or more times in the episode...!).

He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted September 11, 2010 Neither species had warp drive yet. In fact the Elasians didn't know dilithium could be used for anything other than jewelry and referred to them as "simple stones". So WTF was Starfleet doing negotiating a truce?

GhostofMajorHayes 10 Posted May 10, 2011 This was a fun ep to watch. It had the guy that played Captain Kangaroo as the Troyian ambassador and it was neat to see Kirk and Elaan go from hating each other to falling in love with each other. The intrigue was good too. But, what i really liked was when Elaan threw a knife at Captain Kirk and you can see the string it is attached to as it flies towards him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
