 : '''Day of the Dove'''
+(First watched 2009-04-15) &nbsp;Another energy being. &nbsp;This one seems to go about things in a needlessly complicated way. &nbsp;It needs to feed on hatred, and can manipulate people's perceptions to help get it. &nbsp;Given that, wouldn't it have been simpler to just use the crew of one ship against itself, rather than needing to bring together a small portion of the Enterprise's crew against Klingons? &nbsp;And what was with going at extremely high warp? &nbsp;If the dilithium crystals busted they weren't going to actually reach anyplace, and putting the ship in danger would end the game right quick.

 : '''The Tholian Web'''
+(First watched 2009-04-16) &nbsp;I've seen episodes that follow this up, books, comics... but finally I see the original. &nbsp;It's interesting, given the title of the episode, &nbsp;how incidental the Tholians are to the main plot. &nbsp;They look weird and set up their fancy web, but essentially it just sets a time limit on the Enterprise's attempted rescue activities, as many other things could have.
+Kirk's taped message to Spock and McCoy in case of his demise really anticipated their difficulties. &nbsp;And both of them too embarrassed to admit having watched it.
+Kirk floating around through things was kind of goofy, but I guess really no more so than other instances of people being &quot;out of phase&quot; in Star Trek or other sci-fi.
