    Yup. It's in Whitney's memoirs where she talks about filming "The Enemy Within" along with the quote I pulled for this article. This episode ruins everything.

    I just started watching from the beginning, and following your blog from the beginning, too. This episode should be called Star Trek: MRA.

    Your archives seem to be missing the episodes between The Cage and this one, though.
