Volume III of the old Star Trek soundtrack releases contains a track from the episode "The Naked Time" called, somewhat curiously, "Captain's Wig" (see here). Does anyone out there have a suggestion as to what in the plot of this episode could have led to such a title? The other cue titles are largely related to the plots of the respective episodes such as "Knight / Joust" or "Time Reverse / Future Risk". Is there anything related to a "Captain's Wig" in "The Naked Time"? Are we missing something here?
I think a better title would have been "Captain Wigs Out." The plot of Naked Time is that an epidemic runs through the Enterprise crew, causing their inhibitions to be stripped away - revealing their desires and insecurities. After Kirk is stricken, he launches into a self-pitying monologue about his loneliness as Captain.
ReplyDeleteI wish it'd been Captain's Pig. Kirk reveals that his innermost desire to be a farmer. Special guest star: Arnold Ziffel

ReplyDeleteI think you were thrown off by the fact that most of the track names are episode-specific. I believe this one is more universal in its Trekness, if you'll pardon the pun:
"Captain's Wig, Stardate 5440.2. During a routine survey mission of the Denorex system..."
