108- Miri:-Premise: the Enterprise discovers a duplicate of Earth, and on it's surface a group of children- survivors of a plague that kills adults.
-Quest Comments: I actually recall seeing at least some of this episode at some point in the past. Anyways, not a bad episode, but nothing I particularly cared about. The kids were ugly and annoying. Acting got a bit hammy towards the end when Kirk convinces Miri she's infected. And there was absolutely no explaination why the planet was an exact duplicate of Earth (which, shy of an illusion, is super-silly to begin with, but I would have thought there'd have been some attempt at making it relevant). Forgettable.
109- Dagger of the Mind:-Premise: When a former doctor and current inmate of a penal colony escapes aboard the Enterprise, suspciion is raised of a doctor there who is using a neural neutralizer to control the minds of inamtes.
-Quest Comments: A decent episode, no major problems, except for perhaps some of the Kirk/Helen material the doctor was putting into his mind, which didn't serve much purpose. I'm kinda mixed about it, really. I'll rank it under "Average". The first use of the Mindmeld is noteworthy though, which could give it vague relevance to a couple of the 4th season Enterprise episodes.
