Star Trek TOS: reactions to many episodes from S1

While I wait for the new episode of Doctor Who to be legally available in my area, I'm going to talk about a different decades-old institution of SF television:  Star Trek.  I've been continuing my Star Trek TOS watch through, but I've been seriously negligent about posting episode reactions like I said I would.  So here is a post about LOTS of episodes of Star Trek.  (Where LOTS = twelve.)  Mostly I'm just going to say a few sentences about each, though a few are longer if I have a lot to say or happened to make notes immediately after watching.  I should note that I do a fair amount of pointing out plot holes and gentle mocking, but I'm enjoying this viewing of the show quite a bit.  Spoilers abound, should you care about being spoiled for something almost 50 years old.

( 1x06, "Mudd's Women" )

1x07, "What Are Little Girls Made Of?"

(I actually wrote up most of an entry immediately after watching this one, so this ep gets more detail than others.)
( 1x07, "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" )

( 1x08, "Miri" )

( 1x09, "Dagger of the Mind" )

( 1x10, "The Corbomite Maneuver" )

( 1x11 and 1x12, "The Menagerie pts. I & II" )

( 1x13, "The Conscience of the King" )

( 1x14 "The Balance of Terror" )

( 1x15, "Shore Leave" )

( 1x17, "The Galileo Seven" )

( 1x18, "The Squire of Gothos" )

By the way, if you care at all about any incarnation of Star Trek, I highly recomment the fanvid Long Live by cosmic_llin.  It's an amazing feels-inducing tribute to all the crews, to legacy, to the sense of exploration, to found family...just go watch.  Potential spoilers for all possible Star Trek.
