The Original Series is my favorite show of the Trek franchise. I imprinted young when I developed a crush on Captain Kirk at eleven. At it's best it could be amazing, and featured scripts by science fiction talents such as Theodore Sturgeon and Harlan Ellison.

Many of the best episodes were produced in the First Season, and these are both strong, memorable episodes. "Mudd's Women" was co-written by creator Gene Roddenberry and features Harry Mudd, a recurring character who is a favorite of many fans. "The Enemy Within" was written by Richard Matheson of I am Legend fame. "The Enemy Within" was a rather brave episode, especially since this was a very early episode and dealt with an ugly side of Kirk--and early on he was very much the star, the center of the show. But it makes for a powerful, if disturbing episode. Both are very watchable episodes. ( )
