This is a series I been waiting to be able to watch all the episodes again... so since I know they are on the way... should be here some time this week... I thought I would get a thread ready for when they arrive.
I decided to watch these in the order they originally aired (Except for The Cage of Course). I also noted the Volume number for each episode... to make it easier for myself to find them as I need them. As you notice from the above... I will be jumping all over the place.

0. The Cage Air Date:Unknown/Unaired The Enterprise is lured to a planet by a repeating distress call. Capt. Pike and the crew find the aged survivors of a crashed spaceship. However, the crash and the survivors turn out to be illusions created by an advanced race of beings, with mysterious motives. They capture Capt. Pike and watch as they put him through false imagined adventures. But, the same woman keeps appearing in all these adventures with him.
Can Capt. Pike learn what the beings’ motives are, and can the Enterprise crew rescue their captain in time?
Guest Stars: Susan Oliver Leonard Nimoy Majel Barrett John Hoyt Peter Duryea
My Thoughts: Probably not surprising... but this is the first time I seen this one. I did find it strange not having the cast I was used to... but that soon faded as I got into the storyline. And I definitely enjoyed the story on this. As old as this series is... I liked how they did the alien beings. There is something to be said about the old school way of doing things over the all CGI effects of today. One thing I didn't care much for is how Captain Pike said how he wasn't used to a woman being on his bridge. And showed this in a few spots in the episode. That is one thing I didn't care much for as it really went against what was shown in the entire series.

1. The Man Trap Air Date: 09/08/66 When the U.S.S. Enterprise’s™ landing party arrives on planet M113 to give a routine medical examination to Robert and Nancy Crater, a nightmare unfolds when several members die, every trace of salt mysteriously removed from their bodies. Since McCoy was once deeply in love with Nancy, he's especially concerned for her safety.
Cast: William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock Jeanne Bal as Nancy Crater Alfred Ryder as Professor Robert Crater DeForest Kelley as Dr. McCoy Grace Lee Whitney as Yeoman Rand George Takei as Sulu Nichelle Nichols as Uhura Bruce Watson as Green Michael Zaslow as Darnell Vince Howard as Crewman Francine Pyne as Nancy III Sharon Gimpel as M-113 Creature (uncredited)
My Thoughts: Another episode I enjoyed quite a bit. This is the characters (for the most part) that I am used to seeing. This one has a good story. I liked how they did the shape shifting creature. Especially the work they did on the creatures original look... as you can see above. Looking at the above the creature looks almost sad.

2. Charlie X Air Date: 09/15/66 The cargo ship Antares transfers Charlie Evans to the U.S.S. Enterprise on his way to Alpha Five Colony. Orphaned 14 years before, Charlie learned to survive on his own. Or did he? His parents crashed on a world inhabited by legendary beings.
Cast: William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock Robert Walker as Charlie Evans DeForest Kelley as Dr. McCoy Grace Lee Whitney as Yeoman Rand Nichelle Nichols as Uhura Charles J. Stewart as Captain Ramart Dallas Mitchell as Tom Nellis Don Eitner as Navigator Patricia McNulty as Tina Lawton John Bellah as Crewman I Garland Thompson as Crewman II Abraham Sofaer as "The Thasian"
My Thoughts: I never recognized this before... since I am also fairly new to the Twilight Zone series. But this episode reminded me so much of the old Twilight Zone episode... It's a Good Life with Billy Mumy. Basically being able to do anything he wants... just with the power of his mind. Definitely a good episode. Enjoyed it almost as much as the Twilight Zone episode.

3. Where No Man Has Gone Before Air Date: 09/22/66 The flight recorder of the 200-year old U.S.S. Valiant relays a tale of terror–a magnetic storm at the edge of the galaxy. As the Enterprise nears the same barrier, Kirk elects to probe beyond its depths with disastrous results.
Cast: William Shatner as Captain James R. Kirk Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock Gary Lockwood as Lt. Cmdr. Gary Mitchell Sally Kellerman as Dr. Elizabeth Dehner George Takei as Sulu James Doohan as Scott Lloyd Haynes as Alden Andrea Dromm as Yeoman Smith Paul Carr as Lt. Lee Kelso Paul Fix as Doctor Piper
My Thoughts: While this is the 3rd episode to air... it is the first to be produced. This is something that can be seen in some of the uniforms they wear. And Dr. McCoy isn't here yet. While still a good story... I didn't enjoy it quite as much as previous episodes. As you can see above... Sally Kellerman played a doctor in this episode. She is the actress that played "Hot Lips" in the M*A*S*H movie. I didn't realize this was her until I saw her name listed above. Some reason I just didn't recognize her.

4. The Naked Time Air Date: 09/29/66 Sent to pick up a research team, the U.S.S. Enterprise™ finds the scientists dead. One of the landing party brings the disease back to the crew, forcing suppressed emotions to the surface.
Cast: William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock Stewart Moss as Tormolen Majel Barrett as Christine Bruce Hyde as Riley DeForest Kelley as Dr. McCoy Grace Lee Whitney as Yeoman Rand George Takei as Sulu James Doohan as Scott Nichelle Nichols as Uhura William Knight as Amorous Crewman John Bellah as Laughing Crewman
My Thoughts: This is one of the few episodes I have seen multiple times. The last time not all that long ago in my The Good Old Days TV Thread (http://www.dvdcollectorsonline.com/index.php/topic,5953.0.html). This is a right good episode. The virus spread so fast... just from the slightest touch. Correct me if I am wrong... but I think I remember they used this same storyline in Star Trek: TNG. I think I remember it anyway. And that they found the answer by going back into Captain Kirk's logs.

5. The Enemy Within Air Date: 10/6/66 A transporter malfunction causes Kirk to be split into separate beings: one compassionate, the other savage. Spock and McCoy suffer along with their friend as Kirk confronts a side of his nature no man should see. His only hope for survival is to reunite his two selves. But Kirk’s passive half is losing the ability to make decisions, and a stranded landing party is slowly freezing to death on the planet below.
Cast: William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock DeForest Kelley as Dr. McCoy Grace Lee Whitney as Yeoman Rand George Takei as Sulu James Doohan as Scott Edward Madden as Fisher Garland Thompson as Wilson Jim Goodwin as Farrell
My Thoughts: This is a good episode. I liked the storyline...and William Shatner really got to overact in this one. And I must say... I really got a kick out of the dog in the alien costume (see pic). It is so ridiculous (by today's standards)... but so fun. The one part of the storyline that did seem odd to me was that they had no way getting the crew members off the surface of the planet. Granted I don't remember a shuttle craft in the original series... though you would think they would have something like that.

6. Mudd's Women Air Date: 10/13/66 Kirk beams aboard the crew of a vessel destroyed by asteroids, but at a price. All but one of the Enterprise’s lithium crystals have burned out. The commander of the destroyed transport is Harry Mudd, scoundrel and space pirate. His cargo: three hypnotically beautiful women who immediately disrupt the normal workings of the ship.
Cast: William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock Roger C. Carmel as Harry Mudd Karen Steele as Eve McHuron DeForest Kelley as Dr. McCoy Maggie Thrett as Ruth Susan Denberg as Magda James Doohan as Scott George Takei as Sulu Jim Goodwin as Farrell Nichelle Nichols as Uhura Gene Dynarski as Ben Jon Kowal as Herm Seamon Glass as Benton Jerry Foxworth as Guard
My Thoughts: This one I found to be just an average episode. I never cared much for the character of Mudd. The storyline itself was lacking a little for my taste. But while not a favorite it is still an entertaining episode.

7. What Little Girls are Made Of Air Date: 10/20/66 The U.S.S. Enterprise is assigned to discover what has become of Dr. Roger Korby (Michael Strong), the "Pasteur of Archaeological Medicine." There's been no word from him for five years.
Cast: William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock Michael Strong as Dr. Roger Korby Sherry Jackson as Andrea Ted Cassidy as Ruk Majel Barrett as Christine Chapel Nichelle Nichols as Uhura Harry Basch as Brown Vince Deadrick as Mathews Budd Albright as Rayburn
My Thoughts: This episode is OK... I basically found it to be an average episode. I really couldn't get myself to care too much for the characters or the storyline.

Well, talking about characters I like the actor ("Ruk", left one of screenshot). It is "Lurch" (Ted Cassidy, died 1979) from the Addams Family! :)

Yeah... I like him too. I have all the Addams Family episodes to watch too.

8. Miri Air Date: 10/27/66 Investigating an old-style distress signal, Kirk, Spock, McCoy and a landing party beam down to a planet that's identical to Earth. They find a decaying 20th century city inhabited only by "ancient children," diseased by a life-prolongation project that killed off the adults 300 years before.
Cast: William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock Kim Darby as Miri Michael J. Pollard as Jahn DeForest Kelley as Dr. McCoy Grace Lee Whitney as Yeoman Rand Keith Taylor as Jahn's Friend Ed McCready as Boy Creature Kellie Flanagan as Blonde Girl Steven McEveety as Redheaded Boy David Ross as Security Guard #1 Jim Goodwin as Farrell John Megna as Little Boy
My Thoughts: This one I enjoyed quite a bit. A good story and some fun characters. Michael J. Pollard played Jahn... he is someone I never really knew his name... but was always a familiar face where I have seen him in a load of things.
