After viewing the movie last week ( and receiving "Enterprise: the Complete Series the same day) , The Dungeon Master decided we should watch all of TOS from the start, in order. We will be doing the same with Enterprise, and I will be doing mini-reviews of each episode.
The Man Trap is the first episode broadcast of Star Trek. It seems an unusual introduction to the series as it does not establish the Enterprise's mission.
One of the "classic" original series episodes (by classic we mean, non Trekkies would remember it, and who could forget the "salt vampire"). It set the tone for future ship searches , including the expend ability of the guys in red, altough the salt vampire seemed happy to kill crewmen in any colour shirt. we don't see Sulu on the bridge, we see him in the botany lab, along with his hand puppet plant.

Everyone has an episode of Star Trek they would be happy to never see again. For my husband, it is Charlie X. He is not a fan of the psycho teenage super being. This episode has some rather pathetic moments, with Charlie mooning after Janice Rand and she trying to explain how human mating rituals work. ONe of my favourite parts is the scene in the rec room with Spock and Uhura's det. Given the smile the usually stoic Vulcan sends her way, I think there may have been some basis for Abram's movie pairing.
