The Enemy Within (the fursuit)

Notes from episode 5, "The Enemy Within":

• This episode is an MST3K masterpiece.  There is nothing about it that isn't amazing.  
• Dog in a fursuit.  With a unicorn horn.  And antennae.

• The third actual alien creature ever on Star Trek.
• This alone kept me in tears through the entire episode.
• William Shatner acts out his good and evil side.  William Shatner forgets anything he may ever have learned about acting.

• By sheer brilliant misfortune, just when you're tired of the dog, the strangest looking man ever to exist is the ships navigator this episode.
• Moralizing made somewhat worse by Shatners good and evil halves being less good and evil and more "torpid" and "fucking batshit".
• Super efficient whiskey bottles.

• Incredibly bizarre rape sequence.
• Spock theorizes that Kirks inner rapist is what makes him an incredible leader.
• Spock berates Kirks non-rapist half and reminds him that if he seems insensitive in doing so, "it's just the way I am".
• Spock tells rape victim that she must have been glad to see all of Kirks "special characteristics".
• Spock is the worst person.
• EVIL dog in a fursuit.
• Evil self groping.
• EVERYTHING ELSE.
  
  I can't hate this show.  When it's good, it's good.  When it's bad, it's horrific.  Sometimes it is both in the same breath.
