A Trekkies episode. In the episode. When the male members of the spaceship Enterprise are lured to a planet by a mysterious signal that only they can hear, they discover a bevy of beautiful women, and, subsequently learn that these vampiric women only need their energy so they can keep themselves young and alive.
Lieutenant Uhuru to the rescue!
Folklore and myth are riddled with mysterious and deadly women--nymphs, sirens, mermaids, and harpies. But not many know about the obscure Lorelei myth and how that name belongs in the same company of deadly women.
Join me in this "namedrop" episode to find out the origins of this lovely (maybe deadly) name. You will not be disappointed.
