THE PHLEGM SYNDROME?
When researching megacellular cosmozoac life the Enterprise Crew discover several of these gathered cells are.. differentiating. The cell cluster forming the beginnings of an embryo of stellar proportions. They also see other entities, almost virus like in their structure, attacking these titanic sized cells. Life hangs in the balance, but is it the unknown embryo's, or the enterprise's?

Next Episode: My Name is Legion
 
Episode: M.N.I.L.

The Enterprise meets a living ship that mistakes its crew as parasites that it must cleanse. Tellingly, both Bones and Spock are in agreement on the best course of action to convince the creature that they, not the ship itself, are 'Enterprise.' This leads to an away team beaming on board the hostile creature only to discover that it is an artificial life form. A construct that has drifted so long it has forgotten that it had a crew.

Next Episode: My Name is Mudd
 
"My Name is Mudd": The crew of Enterprise receive a distress call from a man who is being held captive on a Klingon ship, using Starfleet codes. When they rescue him, surprise! Harry Mudd has lost his memory and believes himself to truly be Richard Hawkes, a Starfleet officer, the phony alias he adopted just before his amnesia. As the crew get to know him, he appears by all accounts a useful officer-it's a glimpse at the Mudd that might have been. The Klingon ship, captained by Keftar, actually allowed "Hawkes" to be rescued so that he could capture Kirk himself, as a hostage. Kirk's safety may rest in Mudd regaining his identity...if McCoy can restore his memory in time.

Oh i genuinely love this one for two reasons.

Giving Mudd's actor a shot at a serious role as Hawkes, and the idea that even after Mudd gets his old personality back?

Enough of the Hawkes bits reminds to hint at Mudd not always being this... bumbling nothing.

I like the idea of the McCoy/Spock debate being on the ethics of returning Mudd to his prior self.

Spock pointing out that the man in their care is biologically Harry Mudd and will continue to be so regardless. And McCoy pointing out that the personality, the .. .Everything we see is affected by memory as much as anything else and as Hawkes's Doctor he is effectively going to kill Hawkes to resuscitate Mudd.

Hawkes: Do it Doc.... You don't put on the uniform without knowing the risks that come with it.

Sort of like a amnesiac partial Tuvix situation.

There's a quasi early Stargate episode where a r mengele type doctor has amnesia and the new personality is benevolant and helpful, and utterly terrified of reversion once she finds out what has happened.

That was my feel on what this episode could have as its central theme. Though given this is star trek and it's.. a Mudd episode. There's more comedy than terror there.

Everyone thinking Mudd is up to some game, but no. hawke is sincere and surprisingly useful as a red shirt.

The Kirk summation at the end as Mudd leaves noting 'It's funny how we are who and what we are by the lives we've lived as much as the bodies we are born with. Hopefully Mudd will remember this time and see that he can still be more like the man he dreamed he could have been.
 
"The Far-Off Siren"- The Enterprise is sent exploring the Circian Asteroid Belt when they discover a Klingon ship crashed on an asteroid. The next asteroid has a Romulan ship, and the next a Gorn ship, and so on. Each asteroid bears a crashed ship, and Spock deduces the asteroids must be somehow luring the ships to them. Long range sensors show an empty asteroid ahead, and the crew braces for when they're going to be lured into it. Instead, the asteroid turns out to be alive, and offers to give them a new ship identical to their old one but slightly better, as long as they leave the old one on the asteroid. As the crew flies off in their new (conveniently identical for stock footage reasons) Enterprise, they reflect on how not everything in space is a hazard.

Next episode: "If I Had To Hold Up The Sky"
 
"If I Had To Hold Up The Sky"

Answering a distress call from the recently established human colony of New-Lancaster, the Enterprise crew come upon a settlement founded on the idea of least necessary technology. When the colonists express confusion on why Kirk is there investigations lead to Mister Scott discovering the ship the colony landed on, unable to deflect an incoming asteroid. As the Enterprise crew seek to protect the colonists, they are left with the mystery of who is on their old ship, and what the colonists aren't telling them.

Next Episode: Do not go Gentle
Reference: 'Do not Go Gentle into that Good Night.'
 
"Do not go Gentle" - After a ship malfunction knocks everyone out, Enterprise enters a region of space where a disembodied, malevolent voice claims to be Death and taunts the ship, menacing the crew. Weapons are ineffective. Death claims the crew's time has come. Death then chooses crew members to battle him in single combat across the ship, disposing with them easily. Finally, Kirk offers himself up, saying if he wins, the ship and crew left can leave. What follows are a series of fights with different weapons and locations in history. Meanwhile, McCoy is left with Kirk's dying body, valiantly fighting to save his life.

Next episode: "The Guardian"

''Excuse me, lass. If Kirky loses, can the rest of us leave anyway?''----Scotty.

''Evidently this disembodied voice changes into past historical warriors while killing our crew, if I understand this premise accurately.''-----Spock

''I can't go on! I'm hurt! Uhura!!!! Kick those Nazi asteroids!!!!!''---Sulu


THE GUARDIAN

Kirk would like Peter to officially become his ward, but the 14-year-old nephew has become rebellious, falling in love with a yeoman-in-training (Kim Darby returns) while partaking the Jewels of Sound from a disreputable Deneb- 7 drug-dealer (Michael J. Pollard's back as well). Written by Harlan Ellison under protest, then messed/rewrote by Roddenberry himself.

"Next Time, We'll Think of a Title": The Enterprise is having its annual talent show when several participants are captured by the Nabalosians, and placed in a sort of amusement coliseum, where they are to make the audience laugh...or die! The kidnapped must improvise jokes and comedy sketches, even the serious Mr. Spock and the indignant Dr. McCoy. When everything else fails, Kirk makes a bargain; let my crew perform a serious work and if you like it, we'll leave. If you don't, they leave and you kill me.

Next episode: "A Model Captain"
 
A MODEL CAPTAIN

Trelane's back. He teleports Uhura and Chapel off the bridge, exactly as he did three years ago with Kirky and Sulu. Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Ensign Suretoast beam down to find the stiff women. After Suretoast is eaten by Trelane's gigantic killer rug, Kirk demands Trelane restore the women while paying for Suretoast's funeral expenses. But Trelane will only restore them if Kirk and Spock take their stiffened places. How the hell do they get out of this one? I can only say this: nobody will even bring up Suretoast at the concluding 60-second bridge guffaw.

Next Week BRING ME THE HEAD OF CYRANO JONES
