Alien Lover

Before she was a Star Fleet captain, going where no, uh… chick… has gone before, Kate Mulgrew was a young girl in love with her TV. In Alien Lover, an emotionally unstable orphan girl (Mulgrew) is released from the nuthouse, only to find an alien (Pernell Roberts) has beamed to Earth from another galaxy using a TV signal. As if intending to further fuck with this girl’s already messed up mind, the alien is a good-looking hunk of a guy, who duly woos the girl and becomes her secret love. But it’s a love she can never make real, because she can only see him on the TV in the attic. Kind of like the love all of those Trekkies have for Kate, when you think about it.
