Two episodes from the classic series are presented in this DVD. "The Empath" (aired 12/6/1968, stardate 5121.0)-The Enterprise heads to a planet in the Minara system to pick up a team of researchers before Minara explodes. But the researchers had vanished, and now the Enterprise landing party follows suit. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy find themselves imprisoned and are to be used in an experiment (that had resulted in the death of the researchers). Will the empath (a mute woman with great healing powers) be able to help? "The Tholian Web" (aired 11/15/1968, stardate 5693.4)-The Enterprise is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a starship. They find it, and a landing party discovers that all are dead–apparently from violence. A power loss on the Enterprise results in Kirk being left on the starship, which drifts in and out of another dimension. Meanwhile, Spock must deal with the reduced power, caused by a Tholian ship; a threat by the Tholians to destroy Enterprise; recovering Kirk; and a crew that is going insane. Poor Spock.
