Alright, so the search brought me to this topic. I've decided to add to it.

Today I told my friend my spiel about scientology (the beliefs, the crimes, etc.). When I got to the part about the OT's and started quoting some OTVIII's I've read about on the forum when she stopped me and said, "I was just watching Star Trek (tos) the other night, the second episode, and the villain was a guy who kept gaining more and more powers (lasers from the eyes, flying, etc); he'd try to bring people to his cause, and you knew when someone was turning into something like him when their eyes turned silver. Then Kirk marooned them on a planet." Or something to that nature. I'm not familiar with much of ToS. Is it possible that Gene Roddenberry was actually referencing scientology?
