What happens when 1960s television ambition collides with an already wild Star Trek episode? In this video, we look at “The Enemy Within,” the classic Original Series story where Captain Kirk is split into Good Kirk and Evil Kirk — and how an experimental editing idea nearly pushed the episode from psychologically intense into completely confusing.
From William Shatner’s explosive dual performance to Robert Justman’s legendary production instincts, this is a funny look at why great editing should serve the story, not fight it. Sometimes the smartest creative choice is knowing when to say: absolutely not.
