Star Trek Update (2)


I’m about halfway through season one of TOS and it has me utterly captivated.  There are some parts that really make you shake your head and go really? but at this point I’m so invested I find that I can’t go very long without an episode.  Can anyone else say obsession?  Instead of giving you a run-through of every single episode, here’s a highlight of my favorite:

Where No Man Has Ever Gone Before
Episode #103*
It really gives you a good idea of who Kirk is and is the episode that actually made me care.

The Naked Time
Episode #104
Sulu running around without a shirt and trying to stab people.  Hilarious.

Dagger of the Mind
Episode #109
My favorite episode so far.

The Menagerie Part I & II
Episode #111 & 112
Having seen the pilot episode the majority of this episode does nothing for me, but the tension between Spock and Kirk had me going (I kid you not, I was saying this out loud a lot) What are you doing, Spock?

Balance of Terror
Episode #114
While Dagger of the Mind is my favorite, this one is a close second.  It kept me captivated and I couldn’t take my eyes off.  It’s also a bit heart-breaking and makes you think about the real world.

*For those of you who don’t know how I number episodes, the first number (in this case the 1) is the season, and the next two (03) is the number within the season
