An apparent insane, violent prisoner named Van Gelder escapes in a box (yes, I know how cheesy it sounds) from a prison onto the Enterprise, but claims he was a doctor at the place, which Dr. Adams readily admits when Kirk returns him. Upon investigating, Kirk gets brainwashed.
I had a real problem with Kirk and Helen testing the machine out on him. Of course Dr. Adams was going to catch them and hurt Kirk! Plus, they saw what happened to Van Gelder. Why play with that? I didn't like Helen much, anyway. Apart from that, it was a fairly boring episode. Nothing extraordinary to report. And I continued to miss the supporting cast. Hope they come back soon.
