106- Mudd's Women:-Premise: Rescued from a damaged ship, Harry Mudd and the three women he ahd aboard as cargo are beamed aboard the Enterprise. The women have an unusual effect on the men.
-Quest Comments: Aggghhh! Whether it's these three chicks, Posion Ivy or Hathor, the stupid "woman turns guys around her into mindless zombies" plot element never works and is just painful to watch, let alone a 60's production of it. Couldn't make it halfway through this one (had even blocked the memory of it, thus my earlier "only episode I ever skipped" comment for The Man Trap). The fact that this Mudd guy comes back for another episode fills me with dread. To the trash bin with this garbage.
107- What Are Little Girls Made Of?:-Premise: Chapel is reunited with her fiance, Dr Korby, who has discovered a technology that can create android replicas of people.
-Quest Comments: Ah, finally, an actual decent episode! What a relief. That robot dude was pretty huge (well, or Shatner is just tiny). Barely any "60's syndrome" touches present, if at all. If I'm remembering correctly, also our first away team Red Shirt kills (though it's possible I may have missed some from the episodes i didn't finish).
Funny that they went to a duplicate Kirk story element so soon after Enemy Within (though I guess the original airing order may have switched things up a bit).
Anyways, with a lack of apparent connections to other episodes, I'll classify this one as "Average".
Also, the actor who plays Korby has a strong resemblance to Connor Trinneer (of Enterprise and Stargate Atlantis fame)
