Description:
"Mudd's Women" (Ep.4): Conman Harry Mudd brokers the marriage of three beautiful women to a mining colony to escape Kirk. "The Enemy Within" (Ep.5): A transporter malfunction splits Kirk into good and evil entities.
Amazon.com:
This second volume of episodes on DVD from the original Star Trek includes the popular and sexy "Mudd's Women," which introduces the character of interstellar huckster and fugitive Harry Mudd (Roger C. Carmel, later to return in another classic episode, "I, Mudd"). The Enterprise beams aboard Harry and three beautiful and scantily clad women whom the con man is carrying as cargo. The transport damages the starship, forcing Captain Kirk (William Shatner) to take a detour to a mining world for a supply of dilithium crystals. Harry uses the women as bait to get the miners to help him flee from the authorities--but a revelation about his liberal use of an attraction-enhancement drug adds a twist to things. This clever and novel installment in the series grafted the unlikely element of a petty, colorful crook onto a science fiction show, an obvious forerunner of Deep Space Nine's inclusion of Quark among its own major characters.
Also in this volume is another outstanding episode, "The Enemy Within." Written by renowned novelist-screenwriter Richard Matheson (The Incredible Shrinking Man), the story 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 Shatner's performance is among his most interesting. --Tom Keogh

'Mudds Women' take pills making them super-attractive. Attractive enough to control the men in the episode.
'The Enemy Within', escapes when Kirk beams back to the Enterprise and two Kirks materialize, one after the other. One a good-Kirk, the other, an evil-Kirk.
Not to be confused with the episode where Janet Lester takes over Kirks mind by replacing it with her own (where was Shatners Emmy!), or the episode where Kirk is replaced by a mechanical Kirk as part of a plot ... Read More

To all of you detractors, after watching Mudd's Women for the second time, I found that I liked it much more than I had previously. Sure, it's sexist. But let's delve into that - is it the show that is sexist, or the society itself? When Eve murmurs childishly, "I've never met a paragon before", we are met with an indulgent Shatner smile. And the miners themselves, with their expectations of what a woman should be -- and they are proven wrong in the end. Yes, it is disgusting to watch the crewmembers ... Read More

Gene Roddenberry's moralising continues on Vol 2 with 2 more great episodes. In "Mudd's Women" we are introduced to the likeable villain Harry Mudd who tries to sell wives to lonely miners except that the women only keep their beauty with regular intake of pills. Why Harry doesn't get normal girls to begin with isn't explained but I suppose we'll give them poetic license and get on to the overall moral which is to not judge a book by its cover and to seek out the beauty within. On "The Enemy Within", the ... Read More

"Mudd's Women" presents the first of two appearances by the space rogue Harcourt Fenton Mudd (Roger C. Carmel). In this episode, he is pimping for a trio of artificially enhanced women who owe their beauty to a drug. Classic Trek episodes always tend to be moralistic (in fact, that was a point of pride for Gene Roddenberry), but when Kirk (William Shatner) actually delivers a sermon, as he does at the end of this episode, you know they've gone too far. A slow episode, but occasionally fun.

Star Trek: The Original Series Volume 2 presents two episodes aired in 1966:
"Mudd's Women:" In this segment we are introduced to the galaxy's most likeable adversary, Harry Mudd. Mudd brings aboard the Enterprise his "cargo" -- three beautiful women. There's a surprising drug angle to the story regarding the illegal Venus drug which supposedly enhances the beauty of Mudd's gals (uh, I don't think the need any help -- especially Ruth and Magda). It's interesting to note that this story was one of the ... Read More
