TOS S1E6 The Enemy Within

Aired October 6, 1966

Stardate 1672.1

Rating - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Putting this one right after The Naked Time was really smart. Themes from The Naked Time about the demands of leadership are carried over and explored as Kirk is literally split and examined.

We get to see what makes up his character, guides his leadership and challenges him.

I've got such a soft spot for this dog too. I love the corny costuming.

And some of the fun cuts and lighting decisions they made with evil Kirk.

The one complaint I'll make is I still don't understand how putting the two halves of Kirk back together fixed the transporter problem keeping them from transporting the planet-side crew back up. Are we to assume all four of them were also split apart and put back together?

Summary

The transporter breaks when a crewman is transported up with highly magnetic ore on his clothes. This goes unnoticed until after Kirk is transported up. The transporter split Kirk into a "good" but indecisive side and an "evil" but cunning side. The crew must figure out how to restore their captain and fix the transporter before the remaining crewmen freeze on the planet.

Well for the time - 😬🔘🔘🔘🔘

Mostly fine. My girl Janice continues to be at risk. There is some weird dialogue between Janice and Spock towards the end where he says "The imposter had some interesting qualities, wouldn't you say, yeoman?" speaking about Kirk's animalistic side that tried to assault her. Perhaps he was just referring to that animalistic side being willing to acknowledge his attraction to Rand.

This dynamic between Kirk and Janice is weird. It's clear she would be into a relationship if he was, but she also knows it would be inappropriate. I guess the vibes should be weird for anyone and Kirk, but Janice's clearly secretarial role bothers me. There's a very clear power imbalance.

Kirk x Janice - 🫤

This episode makes it clear there is reciprocated attraction. I think mixed with the assault and the power dynamic, this is a complicated relationship. Kirk is smart to not indulge any desire he has.

Spirk

Spock does a lot of baby sitting in this episode where he's mostly just trying to make sure Kirk is okay. It's touching to see how hard he tries to make sure Kirk is upholding his own values in this situation and putting the ship first. There were two things that caught my attention.

1. The scene where Kirk is getting out of the shower and is shirtless when Spock comes to check up on him.

2. The scene I mentioned before when Spock said "The imposter had some interesting qualities, wouldn't you say, yeoman?" Tell me more, Spock. What qualities were you thinking of?

McKirk

This wasn't really romantic, but I just wanted to flag that McCoy always puts Kirk's life first, even if no one else - including Kirk - is. I love that.

The Elseworlds Batman: Digital Justice one-shot was published with a pull date of April 1990. The computer generated comic, a novelty at the time, took place in the 21st century. In order to fight the Joker virus developed decades before by the Joker, James Gordon II (grandson of James Gordon) became the new Batman. He was aided by the Batcomp, Bobby Chang as the new Robin, and a robot version of Alfred. Gata, clone of Mayer Madame X, became the new Catwoman. The characters were created by Pepe Morino Casaras and Doug Murray. ("Batman: Digital Justice" DC Comic Event)
