Star Trek: The Original Series, S02E13 - "Obsession"
Star Trek: The Original Series, S02E14 - "Wolf In The Fold"

"Obsession"

• Three redshirts at once at the beginning of this episode!
• I believe this is the first episode I've watched on Netflix that isn't remastered.
• Two more redshits!  I wonder if this episode has the highest redshirt body count.
  
  (Note:  It doesn't seem that all five of these redshirts have died, but the ones that survived the attacks of the cloud seem to be mortally wounded.)
• We get a bit more background on Kirk in this episode, namely that as a young lieutenant he went on his first deep space assignment aboard USS Farragut.
• Nurse Chapel is tricksy.  <3 Majel Barrett.
• "Captain, request permission to return to my post!"
  "Uh, we're a little busy here fella.  See all the phasering and photon torpedo-ing?"
• THIS IS WHY WE DON'T LEAVE THE NO. 2 IMPULSE VENT OPEN, PEOPLE.
• I enjoyed watching "logical" Mr. Spock put is hands over the vent to try and block the cloud.
• I believe this is the first time we get an explanation for Spock's green blood (hemoglobin based on copper rather than iron).
• "Just think, Captain.  Less than one ounce of antimatter here...is as powerful as ten thousand cobalt bombs."
• Ensign Garrovick has cojones.
• "A crazy way to travel, spreading a man's molecules all over the Universe."  We get it Bones, you don't like the transporter :-P

"Wolf In The Fold"

• Captain Kirk:  What better wingman could a chief engineer want?
• Scotty is established as being from--or at least having lived in--Aberdeen, Scotland.
• Star Trek needs more "crew member gets drunk and kills hooker belly dancer" episodes.
• Argelius II:  Just as popular a vacation planet for pleasure-seekers as Risa, before Scotty screwed it all up.
• ♪ Psycho tricorder / Qu'est Que C'est / Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better ♫
• "Since she was a little girl, she danced for me.  She was my daughter."  Uh...creepy, dude D:
• Hey Scotty...if people keep finding you standing over women's corpses, they're going to start suspecting something.
• Jack the Ripper:  I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.
• "And I suspect preys on women because women are more easily and more deeply terrified, generating more sheer horror than the male of the species." :rolleyes:
• "The computer will not respond to these controls.  The entity is undoubtedly controlling it."
  
  "And the computer controls the ship."
  
  Well, that's not good news.
• "Bones, what's the sedative situation?"  I bet that's not the first time Kirk's asked McCoy that question ;)
• Stoned Sulu rules.
• "Remember the time Captain Kirk got us all high and we just flew around space laughing at everything?"
