Everyone’s got a dark side, except for Kirk. He’s got a living, breathing dark alter-ego. So does this episode’s special guest, a dog in a unicorn costume. This week in the Mission Log, it’s “The Enemy Within”
Mission Log #6: Episode 006- The Enemy Within
I know I’m getting ahead of things here, but with all the men trapped on the planet, and the transporter out of commission, why in the hell didn’t they just send down the Gallileo 7 shuttlecraft to pick them up??? Am I the only one bothered by this?
I mean, I know they didn’t introduce it until later in the series, but after they did, do you think the producers might have gone back and thought… “Oh yeah…”
I loved this episode and I like the treatment your pod cast has provided. Good job!
Production note: This episode has a few continuity errors 1) when alt-Kirk first beams aboard his uniform was missing it’s insignia and 2) in engineering alt-Kirk’s phaser changes from type 1 to type 2 and back again to type 1. But why int-pick? Mudd’s Women has a boatload of errors compared to these two.
I remember Leonard Nimoy telling the story behind his creation of the Vulcan nerve pinch for this episode and how he credited Bill Shatner for really selling it on screen.
Keep up the good work – looking forward to next week. Is it here yet?
Remember, kids, if you’re fighting the cold, it doesn’t matter if you’re wearing a parka or its evil twin.
This episode disproved the notion that you need a goatee to portray your evil alter ego…all you really need is eye liner.
