TOS S1E4 Where No Man Has Gone Before

Rating - ⭐⭐⭐⭐🔘

Another classic episode. I love the planetside settings of these early episodes. Delta Vega is a work of art. The conflict Kirk has between the safety of his ship and the safety of a long time friend and crew member is compelling.

Speaking of Kirk, I think this is the first ripped shirt. I find the fight scene choreography so charming. It's not good, but it's entertaining and demonstrates some physical prowess. It makes me smile.

I also like the tin foil contacts. That's a cool effect for the time period.

I think it's funny Star Fleet is tracking members' ESP levels.

The one thing that I thought was too silly was when Mitchell and Dr. Dehner are shooting lightning at each other. What are the hand gestures they're doing?

I miss Bones in this episode. I'm sure he could have added some interesting philosophical takes.

Summary

USS Enterprise intercepts a black box from the SS Valient, which went missing 200 years ago. Near that area of space, they get trapped by a mysterious anomaly. Crew members with high ESP levels get zapped with lightning. Some die but Gary, Mitchell, a school friend of Kirk's starts having strange symptoms.

Well for the time - 😬🔘🔘🔘🔘

Misogyny

I don't love the treatment of Dr. Dehner, but honestly, the fact that she's a doctor and she is the one to do the right thing and give Kirk an opening to beat Mitchell is impressive for the time.
