Mean little space children that prey on your worst fears! The "monster" here is badly dressed and appears and disappears like a ghostly spirit that feeds and thrives on power and human emotions. Kind of a mental "vampire". A theme used in several "Trek" stories. (Mr. Belli's acting is not really all that bad, considering that he has very little script to work with.) Unfortunately, poor plot execution here. Using a thinner actor would have helped, as he is dressed in a rainbow-themed "tent" dress, and looks like a Killer Clown from Outer Space! Lack of a decent plot exposition ruins this episode and makes it implausible. Where did the name "Gorgan" come from? (I missed that part?) Why should a nursery rhyme summon a "demon"? Can you believe that this was the third re-write? Probably should have never been filmed at all, like the two "hippie" episodes "Eden" and "The Apple". It's right up there with "The Omega Glory" as one of the worst-written and unlogical episodes ever produced!
