Star Trek: The Enemy Within (1966)
Season 1, Episode 5
8/10
The ID of Captain Kirk
4 August 2019
A transporter malfunction sends two Captain Kirks back to the Enterprise with differing personalities. One is quite civilized, but weak the other well into paranoia.

Proof positive of what Sigmund Freud was talking about when he said humans have an ego and an Id. We learn here that the Id has its usefulness.

This episode is one of William Shatner's finest hours in the history of the Star Trek franchise. His dual performance is totally masterful.

There was also the fact that George Takei was left on the planet surface with three others because they didn't dare beam them up while the transporter was on the fritz. But for the life of me I can't figure out why they just didn't send down a shuttlecraft for them?

Any Trekkies out there want to answer that?.
