Summary: An interesting pair of episodes
Review: There are times when digitially remastering an epiosde may not help it out too much. Such is the case with Dagger of the Mind, in which obvious film flaws are enhanced and the fact that matt prints were used for certain scenes is that much more obvious. But, you can't fault the episode just for that. Dagger is certainly an entertaining, if not overly deep episode of Trek. It's got the first Vulcan mind-meld, a good performance by Shatner and some interesting ideas. It's just not up to classic Trek's usual standards of excellence. As for What Are Little Girls Made Of?, it's always been a personal favorite of mine--and not just for Sherri Jackson's costume. It features one of the earliest examples of Kirk vs. machines and just how Kirk is able to outwit them. It contains one of the most chilling lines in all of Trek with the famous line, "Androids don't eat, Ms. Chapel." Shatner is given a lot to do here and does some double duty--and he does it well. Again, another Trek well worth taking.

Summary: Two of A Kind
Review: This DVD is very good. The two classic trek episodes "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" and "Dagger of the Mind" ably explore the theme of 'man playing god' with thoughtful and entertaining results. For pure fun check out the performance by Ted Cassidy(Lurch), he's truly memorable as the menacing "Ruk." In "Dagger" you also have the original Vulcan Mind-Meld, as well as a truly hysterical performance by Morgan Woodward as Dr. Simon Van Gelder. (Woodward later played another lunatic in 2nd seasons "The Omega Glory") There was confusion regarding Kirks racist mutterings toward Spock while on the centrifuge in "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" I believe Kirk was simply trying to infuse his duplicate with an attitude so uncharacteristic that even the dull witted Vulcan would have to take notice! I would've given this 5 stars except for the lack of extra goodies. I'm afraid Paramount is simply holding back so they can release yet another "SUPER SPECIAL SUPREME STAR TREK EDITION" in a few more years.

Summary: Two good episodes that deal with the controlling of the mind
Review: Vol. 5 is a good package of episodes that both deal with the power of the mind. In "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" Captain Kirk and one of his female crew beam down to an icy planet expecting to meet a famous doctor that has been missing for a long time. They find out that the doctor makes robots and that not everything is going as great as they first expected it to. The doctor makes an android (robot) duplicate of Captain Kirk. Captain Kirk has to find a way around these robots before it's too late. "Dagger Of The Mind" is one of my favorite episodes and it's one of the best episodes of Star Trek in my opinion. It deals with a device that can talk to and change the mind of whoever is in the room with it. It's a light on the ceiling, and someone has to talk through it and whoever is in the same room as the device is deeply effected by it. For example, if you were in the room with the light and I said through the microphone "you are very hungry and can't wait to get something to eat," you would be starving when I turned the device off. Captain Kirk catches trouble in "Dagger Of The Mind" while he's trying to stop a madman, but he needs the help of somebody else to accomplish his feat. Vol. 5 is a good buy for anybody who likes Star Trek. "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" is a good episode about robots, and "Dagger Of The Mind" is one of the most suspenseful episodes of Star Trek. Both of them together add up to a good volume of episodes and I recommend anybody who likes Star Trek to get this volume for their DVD.

Summary: A DECENT STAR TREK DVD!!!
Review: Volume 5 of the lengthly Star Trek TOS DVD series has a good pair of episodes but not great. Neither episodes are too memorable but they both have decent plots and both are quite watchable. However apart from the cebut of Christine Chapel in WHAT ARE LITTLE GIRLS MADE OF? and Spock's famous Vulcan mind meld in DAGGER OF THE MIND there is nothing particularily noteworthy about these standard Trek episodes. WHAT ARE LITTLE GIRLS MADE OF? finds Kirk and Christine Chapel (Majel Barrett Gene Rodenberry's wife who also appeared in the pilot episode THE CAGE) beaming down to the planet EXO III to find Christine's fiancee Dr. Roger Korby. They find him and he reveals that he discovered how to build android that look and act like real humans. Soon however Korby eventually reveals his plan to replace humans with supposedly more efficient androids. Chirstine Chapel begins to discover that Korby has changed and eventually it is revealed that Korby is also android. His plan to replace people with androids comes into effect when he developes a andriod replica of Kirk in order to take over the enterprise. This episode has a good plot but their really is nothing ground breaking about this episode. It's standard Trek at most. The other episode here is DAGGER OF THE MIND which is another standard Trek episode but can sometimes be a headache to watch. The plot (which is a decent one) finds Kirk and the Enterprise invaded by a insane man named Dr. Van Gelder from the Penal colony Tantalus V. The Doctor claims that the Colony director Dr. Tristan Adams is an psychopathic madman who will destroy their minds. Not believeing the man because Dr. Adams is a respected man who has done a lot for mankind. Sure enough as Kirk and Dr. Helen Noel (an old flame of his) arrive at the planet to find out that sure enough Adams is a madman who brain washes people minds with a bizarre device. And his next test will be on the Captain unless the two can contact the Enterprise to come help them escape Tantalus V. DAGGER OF THE MIND is a decent episode but the scenes with Van Gelder are rather painful to watch or sit through. Sure Morgan Woodward plays the unstable character well but his cahracter was greatly irratating and I was happy when he was not in a scene. Overall Volume 5 has two decent and watchable Star Trek episodes but they are really nothing to write home about. Neither are outstanding but they are entertaining so they are worth it. Recommended.

Summary: Not the best, but watchable
Review: What Are Little Girls Made of?-The first of the android episodes, in which the landing party end up deep inside an icy planet, is a solid episode. As in Charlie X, we see the question of what it means to be human explored, as well as the human quest for immortality and god-like power. While the episode is thoughtful enough in these regards, less convincing are the motives behind the plan Korby hatches. Additionally, the surprise doesn't really come as a surprise at all. Still, overall an offbeat and forgotten episode with enough action to suffice. This episode can't exactly be punished for employing themes what would be beaten to death, since it is one of the first shows to employ them. (3 stars) Dagger of the Mind-The first of the insane asylum/penal colony episodes just doesn't work. The early scenes on the planet do convey a sense of unease as we try to figure out just what is wrong here, but the eventual delivery just doesn't pack much (Christmas) punch. Woodward, for one, is way over the top here. Worse though is the poor development of the motives behind Adams' actions. I suppose the question of the potential costs behind the treatment of mental illness are as timely today as they were then, but this episode doesn't contribute much to the discussion. Plus, this episode is convoluted, and just isn't very interesting. To be honest, the coquettish Dr. Helen Noel was one of the best things going for this one. (2 stars)
