Name That STAR TREK Episode...

Is There In Truth No Beauty?
Crazy Larry sees a world distorted:

Good choices, but percentages and fisheye lenses it is not!

Clue # 2
Less obvious than other 'firsts', this episode features a rather interesting 'first'.
 
The Doomsday Machine
1. since they used the AMT kit the proportions are off.
2. It's the first time we see another Starfleet ship.
 
Afraid not Sir!

Clue # 3
Another interesting one-off, using the same mode as Clue # 2 appears earlier in the episode. Both answers to these clues would be used much more frequently in the later series of Star Trek.
 
The Enemy Within?
1. Good Kirk was missing the emblem on his shirt (see below).
2. First time the transporter repairs a human (puts two Kirks back together).
3. Earlier in the episode, the transporter caused the problem by splitting both the dog and Kirk. In TAS and TNG, they use the transporter to put people back to normal either from being microscopic or artificially old. (I wonder why it wasn't used in The Deadly Years, hmm.)

Amok Time?
1. First Vulcan Hand Salute on the First episode of Season 2
2. First Time we see Vulcan
3. Perspective distorted in camera shots leading up to the fight between Kirk and Spock..

Neither of these excellent episodes are the episode in question, my friends.

Clue # 4
Not 'The Enemy Within' , but something similar in that episode does happen here.
 
What Are Little Girls Made Of..

1. First appearance of Majel Barrett as Christine Chapel who had formerly played
2. Number One in the First Pilot, The Cage

Nope!

Clue # 4
We see a room on the ship, that I don't think we ever see in any other episode.

Mini Clue.... We don't see it in its fully 'true' form.
 
The Man Trap?
1.The illusionary special effect was poorly done.
2. First broadcast episode by airdate.
3. Illusionary people common during The Cage.
4. Duplicated people, but by the salt vampire illusion.
5. McCoy's Quarters only seen once, but the same set was seen many times as other quarters.
 
I read back the clues last night, and had I not written them myself, The Man Trap sprung to mind for me too. But no, it's not the salty damsel this time.

A new clue later...
 
Day of the Dove
Clue # 1: Proportions are a bit 'off' in this episode.
The size of the Entity changes and there is that wacky bit at the end in Engineering with the double stairs.
Clue # 2: Less obvious than other 'firsts', this episode features a rather interesting 'first'.
Mara is the first female Klingon.
Clue # 3
Another interesting one-off, using the same mode as Clue # 2 appears earlier in the episode. Both answers to these clues would be used much more frequently in the later series of Star Trek.
First depiction of the klingon Transporter in action
Clue # 4

Delayed materialization in the transporter chamber

Clue # 5
We see a room on the ship, that I don't think we ever see in any other episode.

Mini Clue.... We don't see it in its fully 'true' form.
The armory which isn't in its true form because, you know, swords.

Edit: to fix mashed up clues

"The Alternative Factor"

Clue # 1: Proportions are a bit 'off' in this episode.

The antechamber / alternative warp rotation scenes where Lazarus has his "confrontations" with his twin have a negative image, and are rotated

Clue # 2: Less obvious than other 'firsts', this episode features a rather interesting 'first'.

The first time someone from a parallel universe "crosses over" to the protagonist's universe

Clue # 3
Another interesting one-off, using the same mode as Clue # 2 appears earlier in the episode. Both answers to these clues would be used much more frequently in the later series of Star Trek.

The first time one of the crew (Kirk) "crosses over" to a parallel universe.

Clue # 4
Not 'The Enemy Within' , but something similar in that episode does happen here.

Lazarus and his evil / antimatter twin's antics cause the crew confusion much akin to positive / negative Kirk did earlier in the "Enemy Within"

Clue # 4
We see a room on the ship, that I don't think we ever see in any other episode.

Mini Clue.... We don't see it in its fully 'true' form.

The Dilithium Crystal Recharging Section, which Lazarus steals the crystals from.

BK613 Well done you got it! :)

However, apart from the final answer, you're answers were different...

1) The proportions are 'off' for me, because I find it hard to believe 400 people are trapped below decks. Surely more than 30 people work above, and surely the bulk of personnel don't work below? It seems far too convenient for the plot.

2) Intraship beaming is first scene here.

3) Your answer to clue 4 is very close here... The first time we have more people dematerialise than can fit on the transporter pad, ergo the delayed beaming/storing in the transporter buffer.

4) Here I was referring to Chekhov's assaulting Mara. I believe the only other sexual abuse depiction is Kirk 2/Rand in The Enemy Within.

Well done friend! The bridge is yours.
 
^^Thanks. However....
Re clue 3: Seven people beam up at the end of City on the Edge of Forever.
Re clue 4: I'm certain that was the intent of the Villagers toward Nona in A Private Little War.

-------------------------------------------
Clue 1: A bit of match making gone awry.
 
The Mark of Gideon?
1. Odona is "matched" to Kirk because of his rare micro-organisms in his blood.
