   Tim Bruening to All   
   The Enemy Within: Rand And Evil Kirk   
   08 Sep 16 23:23:19   
   
   From: tsbrueni@dcn.davis.ca.us   
      
   The transporter splits Kirk into a good half and an evil half.  The evil Kirk   
   tries to rape Yeoman Janice Rand, but she fends him off by scratching his   
   face.  Evil Kirk then attacks a crewman.  Rand later says that she wouldn't   
   have complained about the    
   attack by Evil Kirk if the crewman hadn't reported being attacked.  Rand   
   didn't want to get Kirk in trouble.     
      
   At the end, Rand appears to try to get something started with Kirk, as if she   
   found the evil Kirk's interest flattering!     
      
   Was Gene Roddenberry trying to show the viewers an example of "battered   
   woman's" syndrome?  Did any 1960s battered women recognize themselves in   
   Yeoman Rand's reaction to the Evil Kirk?
