109: '''Dagger of the Mind''' ''[[1966]] [[November 3]]''
(First watched 2009-01-08)  This will sound pretty generic, but... standardly nice.  There's a problem and a mystery, and (most of) the crew acts competently to get to the bottom of it.
Dr. Noel, though... nah.  She seemed to border on the insubordinate by dissing Kirk's concerns during the first half of the episode.  And it especially bugged me when she said that taking a closer look at a failed project would have no scientific purpose.  One, that's absolutely false.  Learning from mistakes is a Big Thing.  Two, since it turned out to be the "failed" project that messed up the doctor who escaped to the Enterprise, it was directly relevant to their investigation; something they wouldn't know if they only looked on the surface of everything.
So this episode had the original mind meld.  A bit different than what they boiled it down to later.  More hand-to-face positions, more of Spock asking himselves questions.  Not so much the simple hand-on-face pattern and "''My mind to your mind.  My thoughts to your thoughts.''" stuff.
