ST1 004: The Enemy Within

In this episode:

  • It took only four episodes for a transporter accident to happen–and I thought it was the safest way to travel
  • How “The Enemy Within” is an improvement on its literary forbearer Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
  • The first show written by an established sci-fi author, Richard Matheson, and it shows: a deep, multi-faceted exploration of the theme of the primacy of human intellect.
  • Credit where credit is due: an enlightened and sophisticated depiction of a rape accusation by a low-ranked woman (Rand) against her superior officer (Kirk)
