Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWilliam Shatner had a severe case of 'flu' during filming of this episode. At one point, he had to lift Sandra Smith in his arms, carry her to a couch and put her on it: during the first take, he got as far as the couch and dropped her. Fortunately it was well padded, and Smith bounced several times; according to Joanie Winston, who was visiting the set, Shatner looked down at Smith and said, "You know I love you, baby, but you've got to lose about six inches off that ass."

Featured review
Shatner acting as a woman
This is my really short review of Turnabout Intruder. If you are a fan of watching the William Shatner school of acting, this episode gives you a chance to see it at its best (or worst?). Basically, Shatner must act as if he is a woman, with all the negative stereotypes of a envious, deceiving revengeful female. He has to pull this off without acting too effeminate, but enough so that one can see the woman inside the man. In effect, he has to be a man inhabited by a woman. In his character as inhabited by Lester, he seems to have a possible romantic association with her partner in crime, Mr. Coleman. At one point Kirk puts his (or her) hand on Coleman's shoulder and just gives a glimpse of a man being a woman showing a certain, shall we say, physical closeness. He has to do this without looking gay. It's a very daring scene that Shatner actually pulls off. The basic story plot is not so interesting and the feminism aspect does not hold up to the passage of time. But the work of Shatner and his acting style make watching the episode worth it.
