14. The Naked Time (1966) A virus strikes the crew eliminating their inhibitions. After O'Reilly turns off the engines, Scotty has to break the law of physics to save the ship.

The Mugato

A Private Little War is the first of two appearances by Booker Bradshaw's Doctor M'Benga.

Kirk and Spock are simultaneously incapacitated in A Private Little War. Spock is shot while Kirk suffers a Mugato bite.

Some have argued the portrayal of Nancy Kovack's Nona was sexist.

15. A Private Little War (1968) This serves as an allegory for the U.S. in Vietnam as Kirk & the Klingons work to arm factions on Neural. Included is an important debate over planet's natural evolution which had real world parallels w/ the 3rd world. It ends ambiguously w/o a happy ending.

John Ogilvie is hanged for refusing to pledge allegiance to James VI of Scotland (1615)

Steve McQueen, Bullitt (1968).

In 1970, the 5th grade students at Hawthorne School in Beverly Hills were assigned to write to someone they admired and ask what makes a good citizen. Joel Lipton, then 10 years old, wrote to Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. Schulz's response is relevant even today:

The Devil in the Dark is the first time McCoy utters a "I'm a doctor, not a..."

#16. The Devil in the Dark (1967) A creature murders miners on Janus VI leading the crew to discover it was a mother protecting its nest. What a wonderful juxtaposition. The unknown is sometimes quite familiar. This is also a great Kirk-Spock-McCoy episode.
