Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Written by renowned novelist-screenwriter Richard Matheson (The Incredible Shrinking Man), the outstanding episode "The Enemy Within" proposes a transporter malfunction that results in Captain Kirk being divided into two versions of himself, one aggressive and brutal, the other sensitive and good. Essentially, the personality mix that makes Kirk an effective leader and balanced man is scattered like so many marbles, and the result is one captain running around mauling women and wreaking havoc while the other is frightened and indecisive. The production is very effectively done, and William Shatner's performance is among his most interesting. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Awkward
This episode is not the greatest. The actors showed no signs of chemistry. This is weird because if you look at episodes 4 and 6, there is lots of chemistry. It feels like this is the first time the actors met each other. Also, why didn't they just use a shuttlecraft? I know the shuttlecraft wouldn't be seen until The Galileo Seven but it still annoys me.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Shatner Slices the Christmas Ham
William Shatner at times could be an outstanding actor and at other times a bit, er, intense. He was best when turning down the melodrama. When he had to be possessed, in lust, or act like a wildman, it wasn't always pretty. In "The Enemy Within," you get the good and bad Kirk, and the good and bad acting.

A transporter accident causes him to split into the "good" Kirk and the "evil" Kirk. But the matter is far more complex than that. The "evil" Kirk is savage but is also the source ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - "Just give me the brandy!"
On the surface, "The Enemy Within" looks like another re-telling of the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde tale with the timid Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and the animalistic Captain James T. Kirk filling in for the good doctor and his beastly half. However, this first season episode is actually more than that. It is a philosophical exploration of the complex duality of man and an illustration of how his good and evil sides taken together define his very being. It is also a gimmicky way ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Human psychology clashing with technology
Human psychology takes center stage in this episode. A transporter malfunction creates a second Captain Kirk by siphoning out essential characteristics of his personality. Since only negative characteristics are placed in the copy, it is a feral creature, dominated by lust and other primitive emotions. The episode is well acted by all three of the principle characters, Shatner as the good Kirk appears properly drained, showing progressive weakness as he loses the will to command. However, his best performance ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Kirk must face both death and his darker side
After a transporter decides to go haywire, Captain Kirk gets split into two halves: an evil, unforgiving half and a nice, intelligent half. Not only does the real Captain Kirk have to worry about his other, animal-like half, but he also has some men that are trapped on a freezing, icy planet with nowhere to go. Is it possible to manage a double take of the captain and get the two halves to equal one again?

"The Enemy Within" is compelling, and it provides good entertainment the whole way through. It ... Read More
