Star Trek Thoughts: The Enemy Within

When I was recording Star Trek episodes off cable, I skipped over "The Enemy Within," the one where a transporter malfunction splits Kirk into a good captain and an evil captain. The handful of sources I was looking at to get a sense of what were "the good episodes" all seemed to be showing righteous indignation that in the "light-hearted" coda at the end, Spock was the one to show old-fashioned sexist reprehensibility in just how he brought up how the evil Kirk had tried to assault Janice Rand. (Later on, I found this exact same condemnation in three more sources.) However, once I had Blu-Ray sets of the series, I suppose I found myself thinking that among the "well, maybe" episodes left from the first season, I might yet try and step towards "acknowledging that one moment is condemnable shouldn't always place everything around it beyond the pale."
