STAR TREK - THE ORIGINAL SERIES

Resumen del argumento:
Star Trek se desarrolla en un utpico siglo XXIII. Los fans pueden seguir las aventuras de la nave Enterprise a travs de la galaxia. Con los crditos iniciales una voz (la del Capitn Kirk) nos revela la naturaleza de los vuelos del Enterprise: El espacio, la ltima frontera. Estos son los viajes de la nave Enterprise en una misin que durar cinco aos, dedicada a la exploracin de mundos desconocidos, al descubrimiento de nuevas vidas, de nuevas civilizaciones... hasta alcanzar lugares donde nadie ha podido llegar. Se estren el 8 de septiembre de 1966 en la cadena de televisin norteamericana NBC. No tuvo mucho xito en principio, y tras la segunda temporada pensaron en cancelar la serie, pero debido a la presin de los pocos fans que tena, la alargaron una temporada ms. El ltimo episodio se emiti el 3 de junio de 1969. Despus de ser emitida por la NBC, la serie pas a manos de la televisin sindicada (una agrupacin de cadenas locales/estatales) donde la serie a fuerza de ser repetida cal en el pblico y comenz a ser popular. Llegando a conseguir que se rodaran 6 pelculas basadas en la serie. A los fans de esta serie (que son legin en todo el mundo) se les conoca como Trekkies, aunque como el tpico fan era lo se denomina un empolln o un friki, algunos fans se sentan molestos con este trmino que era usado en modo despectivo, por lo que se acu el trmino Trekker. Hoy en da se usan casi indistntamente, y de hecho son muchos los fans de la serie que se sienten orgullosos en autodenominarse Trekkies. La escena transcurre a mediados del siglo XXIII. La Tierra ha sobrevivido las Guerras Eugensicas (III Guerra Mundial) de comienzos del siglo XXI. A mediados de ese siglo, al desarrollar tecnologa warp ha hecho contacto con seres inteligentes provenientes de otros sistemas solares. Los primeros fueron los vulcanos. Humanos y vulcanos se unieron en la formacin de la Federacin Unida de Planetas, la unin de ms de 100 mundos en la vecindad de la galaxia. Su rgano exploratorio-defensivo es la Flota Estelar, la que mantiene una gran cantidad de naves espaciales capaces de viajes interestelares a velocidades mayores a la de la luz. La mayora de los problemas sociales, incluyendo pobreza, crimen y enfermedades, han sido superados. El dinero ha dejado de existir, y el gran propsito del hombre no son los bienes materiales sino la propia superacin y la de sus semejantes. Tambin muchos humanos han optado por formar pequeas colonias en planetas lejanos, y continan luchando para sobrevivir y prosperar. No todos los mundos de la Federacin tienen sistemas polticos tan slidos como la Tierra. Algunas veces tambin se desatan disturbios en ellos. Pero la amenaza ms grande es la cantidad de razas agresivas que habitan la galaxia y que no son parte de la Federacin. Algunos de ellos son el Imperio Klingon y el Imperio Romulano. Batallas entre las naves de la Flota y las naves klingon y romulanas a veces ocurren. Para evitar mayores conflictos, una Zona Neutral ha sido establecida entre el espacio de la Federacin y el territorio de klingons y romulanos.

Primera Temporada (1966-1967)

100. THE CAGE / La Jaula * escrito por Gene Roddenberry * dirigido por Robert Butler * musica de Alexander Courage (Crescendo GNP cassette & CD # GNP 8006) * Fecha Estelar no dada: La nave estelar Enterprise, comandada por el Capitan Pike, acude a la llamada de una seal de socorro que Pike considera desfasada, pero cuando recogen el subsiguiente mensaje sobre unos supervivientes de una nave de la Tierra, Pike sigue la seal hasta Talos IV. Pike y un equipo de salida encuentran a un grupo de supervivientes en el lugar. Entre ellos se encuentra una mujer joven llamada Vina que le llama la atencion a Pike y que le conduce a una trampa mientras le enseaba el lugar del accidente. Pike es capturado por los Talosianos, aliengenas con un cerebro mucho mayor que el de los humanos, y es sometido a una serie de ilusiones con el objetivo de que tenga relaciones sexuales con Vina, que resulta ser una humana en cautividad. El resto de la tripulacin, mientras tanto, intenta rescatar a Pike, sin saber que el poder Talosiano sobre las ilusiones es un arma muy efectiva.
Notas: Este fue el primer episodio de Star Trek producido. La cadena de televisin NBC rechaz este piloto al considerarlo "demasiado intelectual" pero tom la decisin indita de solicitarle a Gene Roddenberry un segundo episodio piloto ("Where No Man Has Gone Before"). Gran parte del metraje filmado fue luego reutilizado en el episodio doble "The Menagerie". La versin completa del episodio fue vista en televisin recin en 1988 como relleno en el horario que se emita "Star Trek: The Next Generation", cuya segunda temporada se vio recortada en su cantidad de episodios por la famosa huelga de escritores. Tanto este como el siguiente piloto son los nicos episodios de Star Trek que no estn filmados en los estudios de Paramount Pictures de Hollywood; ambos estn rodados en The Culver Studios (ahora propiedad de Sony Pictures) en Culver City, California. El nombre del capitn sufri algunos cambios: En su concepcin inicial el mandams del Enterprise se iba a llamar Robert April (luego se utilizara para el predecesor de Pike en TAS); Luego se cambiara al nombre utilizado por Jeffrey Hunter pero entre una revisin del guin y el resultado final tambin se especul con el nombre de James Winter. La primera escena filmada para "The Cage" -- La toma en la cual el Doctor Boyce y el Capitn Pike comparten un martini -- fue filmada el viernes 27 de Noviembre de 1964. A diferencia del resto de las series, el Capitn utiliza un simple sujetador de papeles metlico, en lugar de los conocidos PADD. Adems, en sus habitaciones se puede reconocer un aparato de televisin. El actor Leonard Mudie, que interpreta a uno de los sobrevivientes del accidente del SS Columbia, tena 85 aos cuando film esa escena. Falleci al ao siguiente (1965) por lo que es considerado el actor ms veterano que particip en una serie de Star Trek, y el primero fallecido. Las criaturas que observa Pike en el "Zoo" de los Talosianos, fueron creaciones previas del actor Janos Prohaska para sendos episodios de la serie "The Outer Limits". Los Talosianos son representados por actrices, y sus dilogos fueron doblados por actores. En una de las celdas, se observa la sombra de un aliengena con garras como cangrejo. En la concepcin original de Gene Roddenberry, los Talosianos eran de esta caracterstica, pero su desarrollo hubiera implicado altos costos de produccin, con un resultado visual impredecible. La pintura mate del paisaje de Mojave es luego vista en el episodio "The Conscience of the King"; el castillo de Rigel VII es reutilizado en el episodio "Requiem for Methuselah" Leonard Nimoy es el nico actor de este piloto que luego intervendra como actor principal en la serie regular. Tanto l como Majel Barrett son los nicos que participaron de este episodio y el final de la serie ("Tournabout Intruder") Otro detalle del actor que interpreta a Spock: en la escena en Talos IV, se observa en sus movimientos una leve

cojera. Leonard tuvo una lesin en su pierna derecha justo antes de filmar este episodio. En esta instancia, el carcter de los Vulcanos no estaba establecido, por lo que se puede ver a Spock sonriendo y con expresiones humanas. En la escena donde el Capitn Pike rene en la Sala de Transporte al equipo de desembarco, se puede observar al asistente del Transportador que utiliza anteojos; en la siguiente toma, ya no los tiene puestos.

Background Information
Landmarks Cast Leonard Mudie, who has one line of dialogue as one of the Columbia survivors, was a veteran of dozens of films dating back to the 1930s. He was 81 when this sequence was filmed, and he died the next year. He is the secondoldest actor ever to appear on the original Star Trek and the first to pass away. In one brief part of the first transportation sequence, the transporter chief's assistant is a man wearing glasses, but the scene changes and he appears without them. As far as is known, he is the only Starfleet member ever so depicted until Kirk later acquires an antique pair in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Clegg Hoyt played the transporter chief, Pitcairn, but his voice was dubbed in by Bob Johnson. Mr. Johnson was the voice on the tape (and disc) in the TV series Mission: Impossible. Leonard Nimoy (Spock) and Majel Barrett (Number One) are the only actors to appear in both this episode and the final episode "Turnabout Intruder". Leonard Nimoy is the only actor to appear in both this episode and the second pilot "Where No Man Has Gone Before". This is one of three productions of Star Trek Leonard Nimoy participated in without William Shatner. The other two are TAS: "The Slaver Weapon" and TNG: "Unification I" and "Unification II". This is Nimoy's first Star Trek appearance. Malachi Throne (Voice of the Keeper) was also with him during his final Star Trek appearance, the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Unification II". After the crew beams down to the planet surface of Talos IV, Spock is seen limping as he walks toward the singing plants. It has been mistakenly stated that Nimoy had suffered an injury prior to filming. In fact, Nimoy's limp here is feigned, and is a small plot point in the script. The original story for "The Cage" indicated that Spock, Jose Tyler and others had been wounded in the fighting on Rigel VII - events which took place just prior to the action in "The Cage." In the actual script, the fighting is referred to, but it is never directly indicated that Spock had been injured; the closest reference being Captain Pike's asking of Mr. Spock and Tyler if they "feel up to it" (joining the landing party). (The Making of Star Trek) The captain's name was changed constantly throughout the writing of the story and script. First it was Robert M. April, then it was Christopher Pike, then as late as 20 November 1964, in the Second Revised Final Script, it was James Winter. Seven days later, when filming began, it had been changed back to Christopher Pike. Reportedly the episode title was changed in production from "The Cage" to "The Menagerie," however when the two-part episode went into production with that title, the title of the actual pilot episode reverted to "The Cage." The ape creature seen in the Talos zoo originally appeared in The Outer Limits episode "Fun and Games", looking quite a bit different, and was created by Janos Prohaska. The owl-like bird creature seen down the corridor also appears in an episode of that series. Several of Prohaska's creations would be modified and make appearances in episodic Star Trek. One imprisoned species is seen only by its shadow -- the last cage in the zoo contains a large crab-like creature with huge claws (rendered by several fingers silhouetted against a lit backdrop). In Gene Roddenberry's original conception, the Talosians were crab-like aliens. This would have been prohibitively expensive and probably unconvincing, so they became humanoids instead. The Talosian seen down the corridor as Pike looks at all the imprisoned creatures was a midget. This gave the appearance of great length to what was actually a short, forced-perspective hallway. The episode is difficult to reconcile with canon in many instances. For example, Spock smiles and uses several human expressions such as "buzzing about down there", which he seldom did in subsequent episodes and films. A This was the first episode of Star Trek ever produced. NBC rejected the pilot but made the extraordinary, (and at the time, rare), move to order a second pilot (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before"). Almost all footage of this episode was later reused in "The Menagerie, Part I" and "The Menagerie, Part II". The first filmed scene from "The Cage" (and of Star Trek) -- the cut with Dr. Boyce and Captain Pike sharing a martini -- was filmed on Friday, 27 November 1964.

Story and production

few novels have theorized as to the cause for this. Examples of this include Spock possibly not having complete control of his emotions at that point, as he was still quite young and that he achieved full control of his emotions by observing Captain Pike. (On the Mind Meld DVD, Leonard Nimoy commented that because Jeffrey Hunter was playing a very controlled, internalized character that he felt the need to bring in some energy and animation onto the set and then when William Shatner came on and had his own energy, animation and exuberance, Nimoy was able to be more reserved and internalized). Another more recent explanation was that Spock was simply emulating human behaviors such as smiles, and that there was truly no emotion behind that smile. Of course, the real-world explanation for that is that Gene Roddenberry hadn't given Spock the emotional control and the super-intellect as that was all still embedded in the Number One character and when she was removed from the show, Roddenberry simply transferred those characteristics over from Number One to Spock. On Inside Star Trek with Gene Roddenberry, Gene commented on how the network wanted him to get rid of the woman character and "the guy with the ears," joking about how he kept the alien character and later married the woman, noting that "I couldn't have legally done it the other way around." In addition, Pike tells the Talosians that he's from a stellar group "at the other end of this galaxy," which, in modern Trek parlance, infers that Talos IV is deep in the Beta, Gamma or Delta Quadrants. This does not seem likely, especially because the SS Columbia was only lost for 18 years and, having traveled at less than light speed (see next), must be relatively close to Earth. In fact, Harvey P. Lynn, who served as Gene Roddenberry's unofficial technical advisor on the pilot, told him that traveling from one end of the galaxy to the other would take an impossibly long time. Tyler implies that faster-than-light (FTL) travel is relatively new. He tells one of the scientists that they can get back to Earth quickly. "The time barrier's been broken! Our new ships can ..." Earlier, with an expression used only once in the series, Pike orders FTL speed to Talos IV by saying, "Our time warp, factor 7." Basically, this establishes that warp speed is not only FTL, but also it "negates" the time dilation effect about which Einstein theorized in his Special Theory of Relativity. Of course, later Trek canon will establish that Zefram Cochrane "discovered" the space warp in the mid-21st century. "The Cage" takes place two centuries later, in 2254. Spock's cry of "Switch to rockets, we're blasting out!" is very anachronistic there are no direct references to rocket engines in the episodes to come. Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson make the only contemporary presidential appearances in an original series episode, as images in the Talosian download of the ship's computer. When doing makeup tests for Vina as an Orion slave girl, with Majel Barrett as a willing test subject, the film kept coming back without the green skin being visible. Puzzled by this, the makeup crew kept painting the poor actress again and again with other shades of green, hoping it would be visible on film. Afterward, they discovered that the film processing lab was "de-coloring" her because they didn't know she was supposed to be green. The matte painting of the Rigel VII fortress is one of the most-recognized and celebrated in Star Trek history. It would be reused (unaltered) in the third season as Flint's home in "Requiem for Methuselah". In addition, the large moon in the background of the painting was the inspiration for a song called "Moon over Rigel VII," which Captain James T. Kirk would recommend as a campfire song decades later in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. "The Cage" was initially released on home video in late 1986 in celebration of Trek's 20th anniversary. The release was a collection of color footage taken from "The Menagerie" and black and white footage taken from a print of the pilot episode owned by Gene Roddenberry. Roddenberry had shown the black and white print at various Trek conventions throughout the 70's and early 80's. A full color version was aired in 1988 with a two-hour special called "The Star Trek Saga: From One Generation To The Next" wrapped around it. The special was hosted by Patrick Stewart and traced the history of Trek from "The Cage" throughout the first season of TNG and beginnings of production for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. The briefing room, transporter room and bridge in this segment are identical to the sets used in "Where No Man Has Gone Before". As opposed to the electronic clipboards used in the regular series, Pike uses a very 20th century metal clipboard. A television also appears in his quarters. A "captain's hat" can be glimpsed in passing on top of that television, although Pike never wore it. And after this pilot, the hat was never seen again. The Star Trek Compendium speculated that it might have been part of Pike's dress uniform. Landing party jackets also vanished after "The Cage", but returned in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, also appearing in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Star Trek: Enterprise was the only other television Star Trek that depicted hats and a variety of environment-specific outerwear being regularly issued to crewmembers. The bed in Pike's quarters was far too short for Jeff Hunter. His feet are extending well beyond the end of the mattress as he briefly reclines on it.

Sets and props

The sign next to the door of the Captain's Quarters reads simply, "Captain." When the series went into production, Capt. Kirk's name was put on the nameplate outside his quarters. In the original story for "The Cage," there was an opening scene in the hangar bay where Pike, whose character at this stage was a tad older than later written, was inspecting new crew members. He remarks disapprovingly to the doctor at one point about the young age of some of these. "Something," Roddenberry later wrote in a memo, "that Jim Kirk, the boy wonder of the academy, never would have done." In this same scene (which was never filmed due to time and budget restrictions) Pike sees off the ship a number of badly wounded crewmen. Amongst these is an unhurt officer whom Pike (then Capt. April in the script) is sending back in disgrace, because he fired on friendly aliens. The officer argues that they were monstrous in appearance; how could he know they were intelligent enough to have weapons? These protests are met by the captain's stern dismissal: "Get off my ship Mister." (The Making of Star Trek; The Star Trek Compendium) Shifts in picture and sound quality (characteristic of generational loss) can be noticed throughout the episode because negatives and audio masters of scenes that were not used in "The Menagerie" are lost. The missing scenes were restored by combining a transfer of properly stored film from "The Menagerie" with clips from a color print of the original pilot. Early home video releases of "The Cage" used black-and-white footage because even the color print was lost for many years. However, there are some fans who believe that the change in quality throughout the color episode is simply a result of poor colorizing of the black and white footage. One major argument that supports this viewpoint asks if a full color print was located why wasn't it simply restored and then aired instead of splicing it into footage from "The Menagerie." The opportunity to broadcast "The Cage" in its original form came when production of Star Trek: The Next Generation was interrupted by a writer's strike in 1988. Presented during a special that also promoted the upcoming theatrical release of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, the broadcast filled in for two of the four hours missing from TNG's truncated second season. "The Cage" may have been inspired by the Twilight Zone episode, "People Are Alike All Over", which also featured a telepathic Susan Oliver tricking a human (Roddy McDowall) into a zoo cage. [1] Footage of the asteroids from the beginning of this episode is reused later in "Mudd's Women" and "The Doomsday Machine". The opening, establishing shot of the Enterprise is reused in several early episodes: "Where No Man Has Gone Before", "The Corbomite Maneuver", "Mudd's Women", "The Man Trap", and "Charlie X". It is inarguably the best visual effect of the Enterprise created for "The Cage." The starship, traveling at warp speed, is depicted in a unique effect that was never re-created for the series: The camera "sidles up" to the Enterprise model and "swoops over" the top of the primary hull. Combined with this shot are two space effects: One of a stationary star field and the other of a star field moving rapidly from right to left. The completed effect is meant to suggest that "local" stars are flying past the Enterprise while the great "backdrop" of the galaxy remains motionless. CBS was approached first with Star Trek, but they passed on it for another sci-fi program called Lost in Space. For several years they were the owners of the Star Trek franchise (as part of Viacom), until CBS Corporation split off of Viacom in 2005. Although male voices were dubbed in for the Talosians, all the Talosian actors were actually women. Throughout most of the first and second seasons, the "singing plant" sound heard on Talos IV would become the standard background noise on various planets. Beginning with "Spectre of the Gun", a different, warbly sound was used for a number of the remaining shows. The sound was used as the transporter beam sound effect in the series proper. In his introduction for the 1986 VHS release of The Cage (which can now be seen on the DVD version in the third season set), Roddenberry noted that he wanted no one aboard the Enterprise to smoke. This was despite the fact that tobacco advertising was a major revenue source for the television networks in 1964. Even one of Star Trek's sponsors during its first season was Viceroy cigarettes. (All tobacco advertising was banned from television and radio on 1 January 1971). He also noted that he refused to cast his crew what the network dubbed "sensibly," which according to Gene meant "all white."

* msica de Alexander Courage * Fecha Estelar 1531.1: De visita al Profesor Crate y a su esposa (que antes de casarse con Crater, haba tenido una relacin ntima con McCoy), un equipo de salida de la Enterprise empieza a caer presa de un asaltante desconocido que parece drenar la sal de sus vctimas. Kirk sospecha, y McCoy se alarma, cuando los Crater se niegan, a causa de la amenaza, a evacuar su planeta. El equipo de salida regresa a la Enterprise con un pasajero extra, un metamorfo que puede asumir las formas de los tripulantes de la Enterprise y que ha estado viviendo con el Profesor Crater bajo la apariencia de su mujer, a la que la criatura mat. La criatura, en busca de sal, ve a la Enterprise como un prometedor coto de caza.

Notas: Este es el primer episodio emitido en televisin de una serie de Star Trek, aunque fue emitido en Canad 2 das antes. Aunque fue el sexto producido, se emiti en primer lugar para presentar formalmente al Dr. McCoy. El primer bosquejo del guin se llamaba "The Unreal McCoy" El Tripulante Darnell tiene el dudoso honor en ser el primer integrante de la tripulacin del USS Enterprise en morir en una misin de campo (aunque paradjicamente no tenga una chaqueta roja). Adems es la primera vez que escuchamos la emblemtica frase "He's Dead, Jim". La alusin de Sulu al "Gran Pjaro de la Galaxia" es la primera referencia al sobrenombre con que se lo conoce a Gene Roddenberry. Los efectos de sonido del puente son similares a los escuchados en los dos episodios pilotos ("The Cage" y "Where No Man Has Gone Before"). Cuando Roddenberry deja el cargo de productor, no son vuelto a ser utilizados. Al da de hoy, William Shatner tiene serios problemas de zumbidos en sus odos. El refiere que esto es consecuencia de las explosiones en las filmaciones de su trabajo televisivo. En este episodio y en "Arena" los estallidos son muy cercanos al actor. James Doohan no aparece en el episodio. La escena de la rbita sobre el planeta M-113 es un reciclaje de la filmacin del planeta Alfa 177 en el episodio "The Enemy Whitin". Se volver a usar en los episodios "The Alternative Factor", "Obsession" y "The Cloud Minders" Se escucha un efecto de sonido de rebote cuando el Doctor Crater es aturdido por el phaser. La voz del actor Alfred Ryder es lentificada para simular el atontamiento. El actor Alfred Ryder tuvo un accidente serio en un brazo justo antes de la filmacin del episodio, lo que le impeda utilizar el mismo por el dolor que senta. Es notable que haya realizado su papel sin quejarse. El traje que utiliza Barnhart es muy similar a los trajes de radiacin vistos en el episodio de "The Outer Limits" llamado "The Production and Decay of Strange Particles", en el cual trabaj Leonard Nimoy. Es improbable que la criatura del planeta M-113 haya sobrevivido tanto tiempo sola antes que el Dr. Robert Crater y su esposa llegaran al planeta. Luego se ven largos perodos en los cuales no necesita sal, y en otros momentos mata gente indiscriminadamente, sin una pauta clara de sus necesidades nutricionales... Pese a que McCoy tiene un tricorder capaz de buscar formas de vida, el Capitn Kirk lo enva a la nave para que haga los registros desde all. Al transportarse por primera vez al planeta, el tricorder del Capitn Kirk est primero en su mano izquierda, en la siguiente escena se lo ve colgado de su hombro izquierdo, cuando se agacha a recoger flores no lo tiene, y cuando se vuelve a erguir lo tiene en la mano derecha! Cuando Sulu se agacha a verificar el cadver de Barnhart, el "muerto" mueve el ojo izquierdo.

Background Information
"The Man Trap" was the first Star Trek episode to air, on 8 September 1966. It was novelized by James Blish under the original scripted name, "The Unreal McCoy," in the first Star Trek adaptation collection, released in the US by Bantam Books in January 1967. As the first episode actually telecast, the opening credits are slightly different from most other first season shows. Gene Roddenberry has "created by" credits and there is no "starring" before William Shatner's name. This version of the credits was used only once more, in "Charlie X". The first draft of this episode's script was completed on 13 June 1966, with the final draft being completed three days later. This episode bears a resemblance to an earlier George Clayton Johnson story called "All of Us Are Dying," later adapted by Rod Serling for The Twilight Zone episode "The Four of Us Are Dying", first aired on 1 January 1960. That show also involved a person who could make himself into whomever he chose. The episode featured actor Harry Townes and a score written by Jerry Goldsmith. Alexander Courage composed the bizarre and spooky musical score during this episode that would be extensively re-utilized in other first season episodes for many memorable moments. Crewman Darnell is the first fatality in the non-pilot episodes, not counting the dog creature from Alfa 177 in the previous episode. One aspect of the first season episodes is that the crew are not just walking in the corridors - they are often engaged in maintenance work, checking out equipment in the corridors and so on. This is evident in "The Man Trap" and "Charlie X", especially. Minor crew members also carried on casual conversations and a feeling of the ship as a real community was created, as when Uhura asks Bobby to fix her rattling door or when two crewmen admire Janice Rand. These nice details about everyday life on a starship largely faded away as the series progressed. Another interesting feature of the earliest episodes is that the bridge sound effects still retain sounds from the two pilots. By the time Roddenberry left as producer, those original sounds were not heard again. Yet another feature of the earliest episodes was the lack of credit given to actors who spoke dialogue. In this segment, Garrison True and Larry Anthony both speak several on-screen lines, yet are not listed in the closing credits. In the first season, directors and writers were not even credited until the very end of each episode, whilst they are credited right after the title of each episode beginning in season two. The suit worn by Barnhart bears a strong resemblance to the radiation suits seen in "The Outer Limits" episode "The Production and Decay of Strange Particles" (guest-starring Leonard Nimoy), even down to the numbers seen on the suit. There were several other holdovers from "The Outer Limits" in "Star Trek", notably creatures created by Janos Prohaska that were modified to create creatures seen in the Talos zoo in "The Cage" and, of course, the Horta in "The Devil in the Dark". For the first time, Uhura wears a red uniform instead of a gold one. Some actors in this episode were selected based on their resemblance to each other. The transformation between Jeanne Bal and Bruce Watson is eerily effective because of this. When Nancy Crater first walks into the dig headquarters, Nichelle Nichols' singing from "Charlie X" is briefly dubbed in. William Shatner has severe problems to this day with persistent ringing in his ears, a condition known as tinnitis. He says it was caused by explosions going off near him during his television work. In both this episode and "Arena", explosions occur very close to Shatner. A ricochet sound effect is used when Crater is stunned by the phaser shot. Thereafter, Alfred Ryder's voice is slowed down to indicate the stun effect. Kirk is holding six salt tablets when he tries to tempt the creature. In early episodes like this one, there are up and down indicators that light up outside the turbolifts. Although they will be seen in subsequent episodes, only in the earliest ones do they actually light up to indicate direction of travel. Elevator indicator lights will later show up in Engineering above one of the consoles. This is the only segment of Star Trek in which we see McCoy's quarters. A clever pan and jump cut along a blank wall allowed two McCoys to appear in the same room. The three cylindrical containers on the shelf in McCoy's room were previously seen on Ben Childress's table in "Mudd's Women". They will later appear in the large lighted panel in McCoy's lab. McCoy has a safe in his room, but there are no combination buttons below it. Crewmen in the hallway can be seen wearing shirts from the second pilot, complete with the smaller insignia. A crewwoman wearing pants can be seen in the corridors; "Charlie X" will be the last time we see this. In one of the red alert scenes on an Enterprise corridor the crewmen are wearing turtleneck uniforms. It is a recycled (originally unused) scene from "Where No Man Has Gone Before". Although this episode was filmed before "The Naked Time", stock footage from that episode is used for the bridge scene at the very beginning. Kirk's run down the corridor to the sickbay is also pulled from "The Naked Time" as is a reaction shot of Kirk when Spock is telling him about the borgia plant on the sickbay viewscreen. This is the only time in the series when the camera view of a phaser is from the top instead of from the side.

James Doohan (Scotty) does not appear in this episode, but he's briefly heard on Kirk's communicator in dialogue lifted from another episode. The visual of the planet M-113 from orbit is reused footage previously representing Alfa 177 in "The Enemy Within" (although that segment ended up airing after this one). This planet effect would be reused again as The iron-silica planet in "The Alternative Factor", Argus X in "Obsession" and Ardana in "The Cloud Minders". An early title for this episode was "Damsel With a Dulcimer". Professor Crater was supposed to drive a tractor around the archeological site in the original story outline. At two points in this episode, the doors can be heard opening and closing without the overdubbed sound effect. Once when the-creature-as-Green leaves the botany lab and again during the final scene on the bridge. Kirk's communicator flops open as he is crawling along the ground during the shoot-out with Crater. Guest stars Jeanne Bal and Vince Howard were both regular performers playing faculty members on the 1963-65 public high school drama Mr. Novak, a program on which many future Trek performers guested (including George Takei and Walter Koenig). The first season blooper reel contains a shot where Leonard Nimoy, shooting a scene in the command chair for this episode, is greeted by his nine year old son Adam, who is also in full Vulcan make-up. The preview trailer for this episode has the stardate as 1324.1. When the Salt Vampire, in the form of Uhura's Crewman, is distracted by Sulu and Rand leaving the botany lab, Uhura rushes to join them in the turbolift. First, however, she activates the intercom to acknowledge Kirk's hail, but doesn't turn it off. The sickbay is called the dispensary in this episode.

Cuando sta le dice que l es demasiado joven para ella, Charlie se enfurece y empieza a atacar a los miembros de la tripulacin que l cree que han sido condescendientes con l, incluyendo al Capitn Kirk.

Notas: George Takei y James Doohan no aparecen en este episodio. Cuando Charlie cambia las cartas para que aparezcan imgenes de la paje Janice Rand, se utilizaron las fotos promocionales de la serie. El poema que recita Spock, controlado por Charlie Evans, es el comienzo de "El Tigre" de William Blake. Esta misma referencia literaria se puede encontrar en la novela de Ciencia Ficcin "Rama II" de Arthur C. Clarke, en los labios de la periodista Francesca Sabattini. Spock se permite demostrar gestos de diversin y enojo en la Sala de Recreacin, durante el canto de Uhura.Al comienzo del episodio, el Dr. McCoy examina a Charlie, quien est acostado en una camilla. Cuando la cmara en dos oportunidades hace un plano cercano del display de la camilla, se ve el reflejo del actor que interpretaba al nufrago parado. En la escena que Charlie detiene a Kirk y Spock, al caer ambos se puede observar la pared al fondo a la izquierda rota! En una toma previa, Leonard Nimoy se tir con demasiado entusiasmo y rompi el decorado...

Cuando Kirk se dirige al puente con Charlie por el turboascensor, cuando sube tiene su chaqueta amarilla con cuello negro, y cuando baja del mismo tiene la chaqueta mostaza con cuello dorado!

Vemos a Charlie acostado en la camilla de la enfermera levantando pesas con sus piernas. McCoy sonre y mira hacia la consola lectora mdica encima de la camilla, y all aparece reflejada la cara de Charlie en un ngulo imposible. - Es famoso que Unamuno dijo "el ajedrez, para juego, es demasiado, y para estudio, demasiado poco", mientras que para Frabetti "El ajedrez es un lgebra de la ira" [El Libro Infierno, p.79]. Para Zweig es un Un pensamiento estril. En Star Trek, el tablero de ajedrez (tridimensional) es el lugar perfecto para poner a prueba la lgica: Pese a ser considerado el juego lgico por excelencia, la irracional forma de jugar al ajedrez de Kirk le permite ganar a Spock, lo cual deja perplejo al vulcaniano. A Kirk le gusta hablar de intuicin. Background Information
James Doohan (Scotty) and George Takei (Sulu) do not appear in this episode, although two words of Takei's dialogue from "The Man Trap" are dubbed in when Kirk calls the bridge from the gymnasium. "Charlie X" was adapted for a novelization by James Blish. It was published in the first Bantam Books Star Trek novelization collection in 1967 under the original script name, "Charlie's Law." Although it may not canonically represent the creative staff's intentions, the novelization identifies the unnamed crewman named Sam (that Charlie "disposes" of) as Sam Ellis, an officer on McCoy's medical staff. The episode made it clear that he, along with all of the officers who were disfigured by Charlie, were "restored" along with Rand when the Thasians intervened. The USS Antares could not be saved because, as the Thasian explained, it was destroyed "in this frame" whereas the zapped Enterprise personnel were "kept intact in the next frame." In the scene in Rand's quarters, when Charlie flings Kirk and Spock against the wall, the wall has a hole punched in it. On an earlier take, Leonard Nimoy had struck the wall too forcefully. This alternate take can be seen at the end of the episode's preview. This is the first time we see the brig in the series, although the electrically charged "bars" that emerge from either side of the doorway will be removed and replaced with lights hereafter. During season two, it will be given a permanent location in the hallway leading to the engineering set (which is near this set across the hallway). This same spot is used as the guest quarters in "The Conscience of the King", and as part of Engineering in "The Alternative Factor". Finally it becomes the medical lab in "Operation -- Annihilate!". Charlie wears one of the old turtleneck shirts from "Where No Man Has Gone Before". Spock's scanners in this episode make the same sound the Metron transmission does in "Arena". After this episode William Shatner only wore tights once more, in "Errand of Mercy". He later poked fun at his costume in this episode when clips of it were shown as part of the History Channel show, How William Shatner Changed the World. After Charlie transforms Tina Lawton into an iguana, the noise the reptile makes is identical to the sounds made by Sylvia and Korobs' true forms at the end of "Catspaw". The grates in the floors of the corridors disappeared in later episodes. In one scene, Charlie takes great delight in watching a technician lower some tubing into one of these floor grates. Publicity stills of Grace Lee Whitney were used on the playing cards Charlie modifies. During the first-season episodes, cinematographer Jerry Finnerman was encouraged to maximize placement of colored background lighting to add exotic warmth to the gray walls of the Enterprise set. This was a major promotional point for NBC, as Star Trek was a selling point for color televisions. As pressure to complete episodes grew, this touch gradually faded from the series. (NBC was owned at the time by RCA, a major manufacturer of color television sets.) Like Trelane, Apollo and the Gorgan, Charlie makes his exit with fading repetition of his final words. The music accompanying Charlie's disappearance at the end of this episode would be re-used effectively in "Space Seed", as the landing party beams onto the Botany Bay; in "The Tholian Web" as Chekov witnesses the dead engineering crew on the Defiant; and in "The Ultimate Computer" during Daystrom's final conversation with his M-5 computer. The opening credits of this episode are the same as those used in "The Man Trap", which included a "Created by Gene Roddenberry" credit. The credits at the close of the episode only list Roddenberry as Producer. Also, the credits for William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy are missing the "starring" and "also starring" designations. This episode followed "The Man Trap" in airdate order. The main titles were standardized for syndication, however the DVD prints restore the titles to their original configuration. Still not firmly set in his characterization in this early episode, Spock both shows irritation and smiles as Uhura makes fun of him. It seems that he has learned how to express irritation ("Ah yes, one of your Earth emotions") fairly quickly since the events of "Where No Man Has Gone Before".

When Kirk and Charlie have their final confrontation, the camera moves to a rare floor-level view of the bridge. This close-up shows that the set is carpeted. This was probably done as a noise-absorber, given the propensity of the set to pick up noises like plumbing and squeaking floors. The United Earth Space Probe Agency is referenced for the first time in this episode, with the acronym "UESPA". The scene where Charlie witnesses one crewman give another a friendly swat on the butt is frequently cut for syndication. This unfortunately removes imitation as Charlie's motivation when he does the same to Yeoman Rand. VHS edition available through Amazon under ISBN 6300213129. DS9 writer Ira Steven Behr says that this is the episode that "won him over".[1] The line "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary" spoken by Spock while under Charlie's influence is the first line of the poem "The Raven", by Edgar Allan Poe. This is the only episode shot after the pilots to have no exterior views of the Enterprise using the updated "series" model. All of the shots are footage from "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before." The first draft of this episode's script was completed 30 June 1966, with the final draft coming in on 5 July. The episode itself was filmed in mid-July. In the Final Draft, the card trick Charlie plays with Janice, which reveals her photograph on the cards, is not specified. The script simply states that Charlie performs a variety of card tricks which amaze Janice and the onlookers. The script calls for the Antares to be seen.

La tripulacin debe enfrentarse entonces con unos seres superhumanos que cada vez son ms poderosos y que consideran al resto de la gente de a bordo como una especie inferior.

Notas: Este fue el segundo episodio piloto filmado para la serie, luego de "The Cage", pero no fue el primero emitido en televisin. Entre los personajes principales, es la primera aparicin de Kirk, Sulu y Scott. Spock es el nico personaje que permanece del piloto anterior. Uhura y McCoy debutarn en el siguiente episodio producido. En los archivos del Smithsonian Institution hay una edicin del episodio en el cual difieren el montaje del inicio del teaser, los ttulos del inicio y una msica distinta en el final del mismo. La primera versin del guin fue completada el 27 de Mayo de 1965. La revisin final estuvo lista el da 8 de Julio de ese ao. Durante la filmacin de este episodio (que no fue rodado en los estudios de Paramount) un enjambre de avispas atac a los actores y equipo tcnico; la grabacin fue demorada por varios das porque William Shatner tena una picadura en un prpado que le provoc una molesta hinchazn. Se especula que la "rubia" que puso Gary en el camino de Kirk, y con la cual casi se casa, es la Doctora Carol Marcus. El libro que est leyendo Gary Mitchell en la Enfermera y que luego discute con Kirk es "La Etica" de Benedict de Spinoza (1632-1677), filsofo judeo-holands considerado padre del laicismo. Las voces que se escuchan por el intercomunicador respondiendo a la situacin de emergencia fueron

grabadas por Gene Roddenberry, Robert Justman y Majel Barrett. Fueron reutilizadas en episodios posteriores.

La refinera de Delta Vega es una pintura mate realizada por Albert Whitlock; luego fue reutilizada para mostrar la colonia de Tantalus V en el episodio "Dagger of the Mind". En la escena del descampado en el planeta Delta Vega se utilizaron las pinturas mate de Talos IV del episodio "The Cage"

Es la primera y nica vez que se puede apreciar un rifle phaser en la Serie Original. En este episodio Spock es el nico en el cual tiene un uniforme dorado, en contraposicin al acostumbrado uniforme azul. La lpida que crea Gary Mitchell dice claramente "James R. Kirk" Al final del episodio se puede observar a un tripulante dormido sobre la Consola de Comunicacin Background Information
This publicity photo was the first and last appearance of the phaser rifle. It also was the first and last appearance of Kirk's two-stripe rank insignia, sewn just above wrist area on the uniform. This publicity photo is the first appearance of the black uniform collar used after the second pilot episode. This exact version of Kirk's uniform never appeared in any episode, and is only seen in few promotional photos. TNG adopted a gender-neutral and species-neutral version of this episode's title in the installment "Where No One Has Gone Before". There is a different, pre-broadcast cut of this episode in the archives of the Smithsonian Institution. This unique cut includes a few brief scenes trimmed from the aired cut of the episode, different opening titles, and a unique closing theme. The alternate closing theme can be heard on the GNP Crescendo CD "Star Trek: Original Series (Vol.1) The Cage / Where No Man Has Gone Before". The pre-broadcast cut is commercially available only in bootleg form, although it has been screened at numerous conventions. Paul Carr was credited as "Navigator" in the end credits of the original cut. The version on the first season box set may contain the alternate ending theme, but does have the changed credits. This was the second Star Trek pilot, but not the first episode to actually air. It was the first appearance for Trek mainstays Kirk, Sulu, Scott, and Leslie. The only held over character from the unaired pilot was Spock, whose eyebrow style would be toned down in later episodes. Other regulars McCoy and Uhura would not appear until the next episode. After NBC saw this episode, they were pleased with the results and decided that Star Trek would be a weekly television series. Gene Roddenberry said that, like "The Cage", "Where No Man Has Gone Before" still had a lot of science fiction elements in it, but that it was the bare knuckle fist fight between Kirk and the god-like Gary Mitchell that sold NBC on Star Trek. William Shatner was actually the third to be considered for the role of James T. Kirk. Jack Lord and Lloyd Bridges were each offered the role first. The communications officer behind Kirk at the end of this episode appears to have his head down on his console, sleeping. The gravestone Mitchell creates for Kirk says "James R. Kirk." It describes him as having been born on stardate 1277.1, but this could have been Mitchell's morbid sense of humor. Kirk may have assumed command of the Enterprise on this stardate. Their crew files show that Mitchell and Dehner were born in cities called "Delman" and "Eldman." It is possible the property master never thought TV resolution would make these readable. The mountainous backdrop painting from "The Cage" is used again in this, the second pilot. It is possible that the "little blonde lab technician" Mitchell mentioned may be Dr. Carol Marcus or Dr. Janet Wallace. It is also possible that the reference by Mitchell about an "upperclassman" from Starfleet Academy who made an unflattering comment about Kirk could be Finnegan. The matte painting of the lithium cracking station was created by matte artist Albert Whitlock for this episode. A still exists showing the entire landing party in the doorway within the matte, but only the shot of Kirk and Dehner ended up being used. The matte painting would soon be altered and reused in "Dagger of the Mind". A clever bit of film trickery enabled Kirk, Spock and Mitchell's elevator ride to look like an actual ride from one deck to another, without relying on editing. When Mitchell jumps in, there was a gray wall outside the door that

hid the bridge set. When the doors closed, the wall was removed by the stage crew, and then seconds later, voila! We're "magically" on the bridge.

After this scene, keep an eye on the turbolift in the background. It sports "double doors" just like modern elevators - the inner one is gray and the outer is red. This feature would survive into "The Corbomite Maneuver" and at least until "Tomorrow is Yesterday", but then was phased out.
When Kirk, Spock and Mitchell emerge from the turbolift, you can see the main view screen in its "off" setting - a kind of "psychedelic" visual effect that was never used again (and must surely have been disorienting to anyone looking at it for extended periods of time). Bantam Books published a series of novelizations called "foto-novels," which took photographic stills from actual episodes and arranged word balloons and text over them, to create a comic book formatted story. The second installment was an adaptation of this episode. The voices of damage control personnel responding to the emergency situation was reused many times in subsequent episodes. These voices were provided by Gene Roddenberry, Robert Justman and Majel Barrett. Roddenberry can be heard saying, "Communicator, we need more lines to the impulse deck!" in subsequent episodes. In this episode, the helm console from the bridge was moved to the transporter set to double as the transporter console. During the shooting of this episode, which was not done at Paramount Pictures, a nest of wasps, agitated by the lights, stung many members of the cast and crew. Shooting had to be delayed several days to allow swelling from a sting on Shatner's eyelid to go down. The ship fly-bys were all done with the 11-foot model used in all subsequent episodes. At the time, this model still had no sparkling effects on the front of the nacelles. It also had a larger sensor dish, grilles on the backs of the nacelles and not as many lighting effects. This footage was re-used in later episodes, often mixed in with shots of the improved model that is on display in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum giftshop. In the standard side-toside fly-by, two lights on the angled pylon (which connect the two hulls) go out, followed one second later by two near the shuttlebay. This can also be seen in the standard shot of the ship sailing into the distance. At first appearing to be a malfunction, the fact that two different lights in two different sections go out in the same shot indicates that it was probably an intentional effect. (What are the odds of two sets of lights going out at almost the same time while the camera was running!). It should also be noted that bluescreen model shots where filmed with one camera at a time back in 1965 when this episode was made. Leonard Nimoy (Spock) is the only actor to appear in both this episode and the first pilot, "The Cage". Unlike "The Cage", his pointed ears are a bit smaller, and his eyebrows are severely slanted (yet not as bushy as in "The Cage") and appear to have been painted on. Most importantly, his hairstyle is reworked to show the bangs typical of his race and that of eventual nemeses, the Romulans. This is the only episode where Spock wears a gold shirt instead of blue. This episode sets the original series record for crew members killed: 12 (Mitchell, Dehner, Kelso, and the 9 who Spock says died when crossing the galactic barrier). The crew members who are transformed (Mitchell and Dehner) and the ones who died were as a result of a parts of the brain being altered or burned out upon reaching the barrier. Mitchell and Dehner are altered due to having high ESP ratings. However, Spock, being part Vulcan, should have also been affected given the Vulcans' propensity towards telepathic abilities. Since this was the pilot episode, that part of the Vulcan culture had not yet been created when this episode was written. Gene Roddenberry wanted a character named "Rice" in each TV show he created (see Lt. William Rice in "The Lieutenant"), so the Captain's name was going to be "James Rice Kirk". This explains the "James R. Kirk" tombstone Mitchell creates for Kirk. As the series developed after the second pilot it was somehow forgotten and he became James T. Kirk. This is the only episode of the series in which James Doohan (Scotty) appears but DeForest Kelley (McCoy) does not. Kelley, in fact, made his debut in the next episode to be produced, "The Corbomite Maneuver". When "quoting" Tarbolde's poem "Nightingale Woman," actor Gary Lockwood mispronounces Canopus Planet as "Canopius." Kirk says he's been worried about Mitchell "ever since that night on Deneb IV." Coincidentally (or not), TNG's pilot episode "Encounter at Farpoint" takes place on Deneb IV, home of the Bandi. There seems to be a lot of "job overlapping" going on during this second pilot. For example, as per promotional materials, Lt. Alden is the Communications Officer. He sits at the same console Uhura later occupies and, like she, can pinch-hit as navigator when necessary, but, he has nothing at all to do with communications in this episode. When Kirk asks to address the ship, it is Mitchell who engages the intercom from the navigator's board, just as Jose Tyler did in "The Cage." On the other hand, Alden's board enables him to turn on the "sensor beam" and rig the

deflectors at full intensity. He's also a capable engineering technician who helps Kelso fix the helm console and move replacement components from Delta Vega to the Enterprise. Lt. Sulu is a "physicist" and speaks as the department head of "Astro-sciences," even though Lieutenant Commander Spock is the stated "Science Officer." In the "lost intro" of the second pilot, Sulu and Dr. Piper can be seen walking together during the alert, which implies that they work closely. Lt. Kelso is the most-interesting job-overlapper. Although he mans the helm in the first couple of acts, he later appears to be doing the job of a Chief Engineer. Lt. Cmdr. Scott speaks as the "Engineering Division" department head, but Kelso leads the repair party on Delta Vega. Scotty remains on the Enterprise and installs the replacement components with Alden, and he even calls Kelso "a talented thief" when it comes to scavenging for spare parts. Kelso is also charged with rigging up the detonation switch on Delta Vega. Scott was on the bridge, watching the controls "going crazy... levers moving by themselves, buttons being pushed, instrument readings changing."

El Tte. Riley se encierra en ingeniera y apaga los motores, que son necesarios para que la nave se aleje y no sufra daos a causa de la inminente destruccin del planeta. Kirk comienza a perder lentamente el control e incluso Spock se ve afectado por la infeccin, cuando la fase final del colapso del planeta comienza sin previo aviso.

Notas: La primera versin del guin estuvo completa el da 23 de Junio de 1966, y la revisin final 5 das despus. El escritor John D. F. Black escribi una secuela de este episodio en 1967. 20 aos despus, con algunos retoques, se convertira en el captulo "The Naked Now" de TNG. El captulo fue creado en principio para ser un episodio doble, en el cual se iba a ver en la segunda parte los efectos del "viaje hacia atrs en el tiempo" de la nave; eventualmente esto se iba a convertir en el episodio "Tomorrow is Yesterday" Los trajes ambientales usados por Spock y Joe Tormolen estn hechos de cortinas de ducha. La mujer muerta en la superficie del planeta Psi2000 es claramente un maniqu. El aparato que tiene en sus manos Spock para calcular el impacto con el planeta es una Computadora de Vuelo E6B, utilizada frecuentemente por los pilotos de aviacin civiles inclusive hoy en da. En la escena que Sulu enloquece, se iba a utilizar una katana japonesa, pero se opt por el florete para evitar estereotipos raciales. El tema cantado por el Teniente Riley es "I'll Take You Home Kathleen", escrito en 1875 por Thomas Westendorf Cuando Scott corta el panel con el phaser, el disparo no se puede ver Cuando Spock entra en la "Sala de Conferencias 2", el cartel de la sala est a la izquierda de la puerta; cuando Kirk sale luego de la misma, el mismo cartel est a la derecha. William T. Riker hace referencia a los sucesos de este episodio en el captulo de TNG "The Naked Now". Scotty relata a Geordi LaForge los esfuerzos de encender los motores de la nave en fro en el episodio de

TNG "Relics". Este episodio, junto con "The Corbomite Maneuver" y "The Menagerie" fueron nominados en el ao 1967 a los Premios Hugo otorgados por la World Science Fiction Convention, siendo otorgado al ltimo nombrado. Adems estaban nominados los films "Fahrenheit 451" y "Fantastic Voyage" Background Information
The first draft of this episode's script was completed on 23 June 1966. The final draft was completed on 28 June, with revised pages dated 1 July and 5 July. The actual episode was filmed during early July. According to at least one source, this episode was to have been the first part of a two-part story that would have concluded with "Tomorrow is Yesterday". The hand-held device used by Spock to figure the time before impact is actually an E6B flight computer, which pilots still use today.

Given that Roddenberry was an accomplished aviator, and the tight budget, it is possible that this was Gene's personal E6B.
The environmental suits Spock and Tormolen wore down on the planet's surface were, in real life, made of shower curtains. The sensor device Spock carries was seen previously in "The Enemy Within" as Scotty checked out the ore on Fisher's uniform. It is actually a repainted and slightly modified Nuclear-Chicago Model 2586 Radiation Survey Meter from the late 1950s. In "Obsession", it can be seen being held by a crewman as he prepares to scan Garrovick's quarters following the infiltration of the cloud creature. A photograph of a similar meter can be found here. In a few sequences, the planet disappears from the view screen and the screen is black. Black's script is another important one for the series, again giving us more key background on Spock, but also establishing Kirk's conflict between his wish for a normal life and his passionate love for his ship. When Eddie Paskey takes over the helm from the absent Sulu, Leonard Nimoy says, "Take over here, Rand." The name of the character was supposed to be "Ryan" according to the studio cast list. Nimoy made a minor gaffe here, referring to Grace Lee Whitney's character name by mistake. In fact, Paskey's character had no set identity until "The Conscience of the King". This is the first episode in which Eddie Paskey has dialogue. Originally, his character was to have said more lines. Not having any other acting job than being an extra, he was so nervous that a few of his lines had to be said by Spock instead. This is also the only episode in which Frank da Vinci (Lt. Brent) has on-screen dialogue (four words). Kevin Riley is the only crewman ever to activate a door by blowing on it. This episode was always a favorite when shown at conventions. Fans would chant, "Have no fear, O'Riley's here" when Bruce Hyde spoke the line, sing along with his rendering of "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen," cheer when William Shatner told the Enterprise that he would never lose her, and even hiss to imitate the sound effect of the disease as it was passed from one crew member to another. It is possible that Spock should have contracted the Psi 2000 virus when he nerve-pinches Sulu's bare shoulder. But he doesn't become infected until later, when Nurse Chapel touches his face. It is unknown to what degree of physical contact is needed to contract the disease, so this may or may not be an error. Nurse Chapel appears to be watching a slide show of some sort when Riley surprises her. This was Majel Barrett's debut in the regular series (as Nurse Chapel), and establishes her love for Spock. The dead woman's body on Psi 2000 was a mannequin. The studio cast list contains "Crewman #1 and Crewman #2." This may refer to the two hapless men that Sulu chases with his sword, which would mean the extra who appears as "Bobby" in a number of first-season episodes is either Woody Talbert or Christian Ducheau. George Takei had great fun acting in this episode, and took his fencing very seriously, avidly practicing his technique on the set and working out to define his chest muscles for his memorable scene in the corridor. In his autobiography To the Stars, George Takei says this was his favorite episode. In this episode and "Charlie X", the Jefferies tube is located in a spur hallway. In the second season, the set piece had been moved to a main corridor. This episode features the first reference to bulkheads in Star Trek. The phaser does not produce a beam as Scott uses it to cut through the bulkhead to engineering, but blue sparks fly out of the wall to show the cutting action. The absence of a phaser beam is probably due to a need to save money on production costs. But it is also possible that because Scotty is engaged in such a delicate operation, the phaser is on an extremely low setting, and the energy beam is so slight as to be invisible. A similar effect was used in the third season in "The Way to Eden".

The lighted panels in sickbay and engineering did not contain lights that moved in patterns; rather, stage hands manipulated objects behind the panels to make it look as if the lights were shifting about. In "The Naked Time" and other episodes, you can see this money-saving trick in action, especially in close-ups or in rooms on the sets that are well-lit. From an aside to his assistant, we learn that Scott has his own office somewhere on the ship. In fact, Franz Joseph offers a schematic of it in the Star Fleet Technical Manual. McCoy tears the sleeve on Kirk's uniform to inject him with the hypo, but this seems to have been done for dramatic effect only. In subsequent episodes, a hypo shot is delivered through clothing, most notably through a space suit in "The Tholian Web". Only in this episode is the appearance of a meal from a food synthesizer accompanied by a puff of steam (or cold air). During the rec room scene, Joe Tormolen tells Sulu "You don't rank me and you don't have pointed ears." Sulu does, in fact, "rank him." He and Riley hold the rank of lieutenant, while Tormolen is a lieutenant junior grade. Tormolen's tunic with the single broken line of braid on the sleeve is the only example of the lieutenant junior grade rank in the original series. This episode was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1967 as "Best Dramatic Presentation". Something apparently bumps into the camera during one of the "cutting through the bulkhead" scenes. The camera shakes and a bump is heard on what should be a static shot. One of Riley's announcements mentions the Enterprise bowling alley, which Franz Joseph later sketched in the Star Trek Blueprints. Near the end of the episode when Spock is down in engineering with Scotty to turn the engines back on and blast out of Psi 2000's atmosphere, he turns to activate the comm system, but you can see that it is already activated, since the light is on. Spock then turns it off and speaks into it. This is the only TOS episode in which Uhura, Chapel and Rand appear together. This won't happen again until Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979.

Mientras tanto, la causa de la avera sigue sin ser descubierta, haciendo que Sulu y el equipo en el planeta sufran las temperaturas glaciares del planeta mientras que los dos lados de la personalidad de Kirk luchan por el control de la Enterprise.

Notas: Este es el primer episodio en el cual se muestra el mtico Pinzamiento Vulcano. La legenda cuenta que Leonard Nimoy objet la versin del guin que deca que deba golpear al Kirk Malvado en la cabeza, porque el acto violento no era consistente con la naturaleza de los vulcanos, por lo que improvis la tcnica utilizando a William Shatner como ejemplo ante la mirada del director Leo Penn. Tambin es la primera vez que se escucha la famosa frase de McCoy: "It's dead, Jim" En las emisiones originales de la serie, la primera secuencia en el planeta Alfa 177 hasta la cada del Gelogo Fisher est impreso el negativo al revs. En la edicin en DVD est corregido. En toda la primera parte, en la superficie del planeta, el Capitn Kirk tiene su chaqueta dorada, sin insignia; esto contina as hasta el transporte hacia la nave y su "clonificacin" en un Kirk malvado. Cuando se observa luego al capitn en un pasillo con el ingeniero Scott, ya su uniforme tiene la insignia. En la escena de Ingeniera, durante la confrontacin de las dos mitades del capitn, el phaser que tiene en su mano el Kirk Malvado cambia continuamente de aspecto. En la escena que el Capitn en el puente le pide a John Farrell que abandone la rbita, en un plano el Teniente no tiene la insignia en su uniforme y en el siguiente plano s aparece!

Luego, en un plano amplio, sus manos vuelven a aparecer unidas. Background Information
This was the first episode to show the Vulcan nerve pinch, as well as the first time McCoy says "He's dead, Jim". Legend has it that Leonard Nimoy objected to the script's directive that he 'konk' the evil Kirk on the head, so he improvised the neck pinch on the spot and demonstrated it on William Shatner for director Leo Penn. Richard Matheson's script is very important to the series, concisely and clearly allowing Spock to explain his mixed heritage and the challenges it causes for him. He also wrote the script for a television movie called "The *Stranger* Within," starring Barbara Eden as a woman impregnated by an alien. For years, the first several minutes of this show, up to Fisher's fall, were printed backwards. This has been corrected on the DVD releases, and in the prints currently aired. It is also likely that Shatner and Takei do not wear their insignia on their uniforms because of this. The sensor device used by Scott to scan the ore on Fisher's uniform appears to be a modified Nuclear-Chicago Model 2586 "Cutie Pie" radiation detector.[1] This Feinberger would reappear in "The Naked Time", "The Doomsday Machine", and "Obsession". The first draft of this episode's script was completed on 6 June 1966, with the final draft being turned in two days later. Shatner's command insignia is missing from his uniform through the first five minutes of the episode. Since Shatner interacted with a double when confronting himself, the double's costume was not finished on the front because we only saw him from behind. A likely scenario is that Shatner was given the double's costume by mistake. Also, Lt. Farrell's insignia is missing from his uniform near the end of this episode, when evil Kirk tells him to abandon Sulu, but reappears in five seconds on his chest. Alan Asherman speculated this was due to forgetfulness after cleaning of the early velour costumes, in which insignia had to be removed and then re-attached afterward. The showering phaser effect used when Sulu heats the rock is never used again. Just before he sprays the rocks, Sulu also appears to be fitting his hand phaser into its pistol mountagain, a maneuver that is never repeated. Several jump cuts were put together to allow the Kirk double to pop into a scene. Another jump cut allowing two Kirks to appear in the same scene in engineering was spoiled by interspersing a shot of the double on top of one of the engine components, which rendered the edit unnecessary. A similar situation happened in sickbay. There are two split screens used: after Kirk's double is neck-pinched and, in sickbay, when he takes the hand of his counterpart. Lieutenant Farrell refers to Sulu as "Mr. Solo." When Scott reports from engineering about the destroyed transporter ionizer, new dialogue is dubbed in over the original. Even from behind, it is clear that Doohan is speaking different words. This piece of equipment was later recycled as the Janus VI reactor in "The Devil in the Dark". Although Nichelle Nichols does not appear in this episode, her voice is heard on the intercom in several scenes. In this episode we get to follow Kirk behind the large engine room machinery components in the first trip to the engineering deck (which dialogue identifies as being in the lowest parts of the ship). To allow this to happen, the new set had to be temporarily expanded to hide the soundstage beyond it. After the double is rendered unconscious by the first neck pinch in the series, the quickly-assembled wall behind the three characters can be observed to have a very rough edge where it meets the floor. Pieces of sets that were designed to be added and subtracted easily were called "wild." Although Kirk pursues Ben Finney into these components in "Court Martial", this is the only time we get to see the space behind them. What looks to be a bottle of liquid detergent is present on the countertop in Kirk's quarters during the evil Kirk's tantrum. It is unusual that this engineering room was an ideal place for a fugitive to hide if he wanted to escape search parties, and also in that it seemed like it was normally unmanned with absolutely nobody in it. The idea that the "engineering deck", as it was called, as a place where people normally are not at is re-iterated in the later episode "The Conscience of the King" where Lt. Riley is sent "down" all by himself, which he perceives as some kind of

punishment or chastisement for something he did wrong. This is quite a contrast with the busy engine room of the later seasons and of the later series of Trek. The view of the tubed structures behind the grille was a forced perspective set. The tubed machinery appears to be many dozens of meters long, but this is an illusion created by making each vertical piece much smaller than the one in front of it. Diminishing numbers were later printed on the tubes immediately behind the grid to add to the illusion. In episodes where the engines were under stress, lighting effects were used inside the tubed-machinery room. Matt Jefferies' imaginative design made engineering perhaps the most impressive set used for the Enterprise. The set was extensively remodeled between the first and second seasons. This is the only episode when you can see the ceiling of the engineering room, although when the set is redecorated as the phaser control room in "Balance of Terror", you can glimpse it. Also, in "The Conscience of the King", when the set is re-dressed as the ship's theater, you can see the ceiling. During the final confrontation between Kirk and his double on the bridge, the double's cheek scars appear on the wrong side of his face due to reversal of the film. When positive-Kirk and negative-Kirk meet for the very first time down in the engineering room, negative-Kirk is seen holding a Phaser-II pistol, and there is a close-up of this. This is the pistol that he confiscated earlier. For the full-body shots of the actors, negative-Kirk is seen holding only a Phaser-I, and it is this weapon that he discharges to the side somewhere when Spock nerve pinches him. It is also clearly a Phaser-I when negative-Kirk is lying on the floor unconscious. In this same scene, the two Kirks pass behind a translucent, triangular-shaped structure. This may be an element from the briefing room in The Cage and Where No Man Has Gone Before. When Spock makes the Captain's Log entry in lieu of the captain, he eeroniously calls himself "second officer Spock". William Shatner, playing himself on a guest appearance on Saturday Night Live, made a reference to this episode. In the sketch, Shatner had just finished delivering a rant imploring an audience of Star Trek fans at a convention to "get a life", then explained the rant was a "recreation of the evil Captain Kirk from episode 37, the title... The Enemy Within." In fact, the 37th TOS episode produced was "The Changeling" and the 37th aired was "I, Mudd". We get a rare glimpse of the main viewscreen with no picture on it whatsoever. It is just a plain white blank screen with a black frame with no blue glowing strip around it, and you can see it behind negative-Kirk when he is on the bridge. The visual effect of the planet Alfa 177 from orbit was reused as M-113 in "The Man Trap" (although "The Man Trap" ended up airing first), the iron-silica planet in "The Alternative Factor", Argus X in "Obsession" and Ardana in "The Cloud Minders". In the sequence of aired episodes, this is the first episode where we see or hear the new middle initial for James Kirk. (However, in episodes produced, that honor would go to TOS: "Mudd's Women"). It can be seen very briefly on DVD when the negative-Kirk enters the captain's quarters. Along with the sign reading Captain James T. Kirk, there is another sign beneath which begins 3F xxx. This sign could possibly be a carryover from its first appearance in (TOS: "The Man Trap") identifing the room number of McCoy's quarters. A similiar transporter accident happens to Riker in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and a kind of reverse of this accident integrates Tuvok and Neelix for a short time on Star Trek: Voyager.

Al igual que en "The Enemy Within", en la escena que Spock le ordena dejar la rbita, el Teniente John Farrell carece de su insignia en el uniforme.

Aqu se habla de los cristales de "Lhitium", cuando en episodios posteriores se utilizaran para los motores Warp los cristales de "Dilithium" Background Information
The theme of the virtuous hag and the faithless beauty appears frequently in literature, often with a magical element wherein one woman can be either and a man must decide which one he wants her to be. The most familiar example is probably in the Wife of Bath's tale in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The velour uniforms used in this episode have shrunk since they were first used in "The Corbomite Maneuver" Lt. Uhura is dressed in a gold uniform. According to Justman/Solow's book Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, the velour uniforms shrank every time they were cleaned. The actors' union requirements specified that the costumes had to be cleaned daily. This story, written by Gene Roddenberry, was one of the candidates for the second pilot, which is probably why it has an earlier stardate despite being filmed after "Corbomite". The other candidates were "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (which became the second pilot) and "The Omega Glory" (filmed near the end of the second season). The first draft of this episode's script was completed on 23 May 1966. A final draft was completed on 26 May, with a revised final draft turned in on 31 May. This episode is the first appearance of Harry Mudd. The character returns in TOS: "I, Mudd", and in TAS: "Mudd's Passion". When Mr. Farrell plots the course ordered by Mr. Spock, his shirt has no insignia on it. (This error would also crop up in "The Enemy Within"; both with Farrell and Kirk.) Kirk's quarters has a window in this episode and a few others to follow. These may not be his normal quarters because Spock directs the turbolift to take him, Mudd and the women to Deck 12. The window will disappear in subsequent episodes. Kirk's quarters are later situated on Deck 5. The quarters used by Mudd and his ladies is Kirk's quarters set with all of the furnishings removed. Eddie Paskey appears in green coveralls for the only time in the series as "Connors" in sickbay, although it sounds like DeForest Kelley calls him "Thenners." Also unique to this episode is the reaction the medicomp panel has to Ruth. Only two lights are visible on the panel and it makes some very bizarre sounds. As McCoy himself says, "It's not supposed to do that!" Harlan Ellison visited the set during the filming of "Mudd's Women". A reaction shot of DeForest Kelley in the transporter room is actually lifted from later in the episode in sickbay. This creates a continuity error: McCoy wears his usual uniform, but in the close-up reaction shot he wears his medical tunic. In the same scene, an editing glitch has the women shown lined up in a row before they have stepped off the transporter pads. Although his offense record says that Harry Mudd is 6'1", Roger C. Carmel was actually 6'3". This can be shown in comparison to William Shatner, who is shorter than 6'3". The backdrop lighting used in this episode for Rigel XII, with tornadic streaks in it, was also utilized in "The Enemy Within". Footage of the asteroids is reused from "The Cage". Alexander Courage composed the music for this episode's trailer, one of only two times music was written specifically for a preview. His sultry trombone music was so appropriate, it was used in the actual episode as the women stroll through the corridors, while the rest of the score was written by Fred Steiner. Courage composed the soundtrack for the preview of "The Man Trap", which he scored, likely as his first assignment for the new series, as that episode was the first one aired. Harry says to Mr. Spock: "You're part Vulcanian, aren't you?" Harry was somehow able to distinguish this in Spock, apparently on sight. This may mean that Spock was not the first Vulcan hybrid. It is possible that, in the early days of TOS, Mr. Spock was meant to look more human than most full-blooded "Vulcanians," which would explain Harry's ability to recognize his hybrid status on sight. In later episodes, and throughout the films and later series, Spock looks like any full-blooded Vulcan. Mudd appears to be wearing the same clothing on the Enterprise that he wore in his mug shot. Each of the three women represents a different primal element: Eve McHuron was born on a farming planet (earth); Ruth Bonaventure lived on a pelagic (water) planet; and Magda Kovacs is described as having come from

the "Halium Experimental Station" (air). Although the fourth element fire is not represented, presumably this is accounted for by the intense desire all three women create among the male crewmen of the Enterprise. Jerry Finnerman photographed the women in soft-focus in this episode, a technique he would use frequently in the series, as well as on actress Cybill Shepherd in the series Moonlighting two decades after his work on Trek. This is the only episode where the crystals that power the Enterprise's engines are called "lithium." Throughout the rest of the series, the crystals are called "dilithium."

Background Information
The first draft of this episode's script was completed 26 June 1966. The revised final draft was turned in 27 July. Budd Albright had appeared previously in an uncredited part as the ill-fated Crewman Barnhart in "The Man Trap". Brown and Andrea both use old-style laser pistols seen in the pilots and "The Man Trap". DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy), James Doohan (Scotty) and George Takei (Sulu) do not appear in this episode. Along with "Errand of Mercy" and "The Menagerie, Part II" this is one of only three episodes after the pilots in which Kelley does not appear. Robert Justman personally assembled the episode previews for the series, some of which had specially-recorded narration by William Shatner, as this episode does. The previews have great value to Star Trek scholars as they are the only filmed source remaining (other than the blooper reels and cutting room film clips in the hands of fans) for alternate takes, cut scenes and other lost details. Justman also selected the stills used for the end credits, and his sense of humor was often apparent in them. The image of the grotesque Balok puppet was purposely put under Herb Solow's production credit during season two, for example. In the end credits for this episode, he pulls another silly joke: when Michael Strong's guest star credit appears alone on the screen, the still image is that of Ted Cassidy showing his strength by lifting William Shatner over his head. Kirk's walk to the turbolift from his quarters is taken from "The Man Trap". He does not have in his hand the command packet he had retrieved from his safe a moment before.

A key point of Saturday Night Live's spoof of Star Trek conventions, featuring William Shatner, was the question from a fan about the combination of Kirk's safe. The combination is different in this episode than in "This Side of Paradise", "The Tholian Web" and "Turnabout Intruder". In the still photograph of Korby on Spock's station screen, he is wearing one of the turtleneck shirts from "Where No Man Has Gone Before". Sherry Jackson appears to walk into the same room twice when she reports to Korby after phasering the Kirk android. It is possible, however, that she entered a connecting corridor after destroying the android, and her appearance in Korby's quarters afterward constitutes her arrival from that corridor. While much of the score in this episode is stock music, small bits of new music were composed for it by Fred Steiner. The lovely Andrea's theme was re-used to great effect in "This Side of Paradise", while the menacing Ruk music signified danger in many future episodes. To test the effectiveness of Cassidy's Ruk costume and makeup, the producers arranged for Cassidy to receive a visiting clothes dealer while costumed as Ruk. Sure enough, the salesman, who thought he was calling on Gene Roddenberry, was so frightened at Cassidy's intimidating character, he was barely coherent even as he attempted to do his pitch. However, the salesman eventually recovered, and Roddenberry ended up purchasing some pants from him. By contrast, Andrea's revealing costume never failed to get an enthusiastically appreciative response whether it be stunning a noisy commissary into silence when the actress showed it off there, or when it was displayed at a SF convention and the model for it found herself having approached by a large number number of men, including Harlan Ellison, trying to secure a date from her. This episode marks the final appearance of the early black and white phaser 2. It was replaced by more detailed blue-gray and black models. William Shatner (Kirk) kisses Sherry Jackson (Andrea) so hard that when she pulls away you can see that her lipstick is all over his lips. You can also see that her lips are swollen from the very rough kiss. in 1998, the Sci-Fi Channel (cable) aired all the original Star Trek series episodes in their complete, non-syndicated format, with added interviews from some of the series stars and guest stars. It was called "Star Trek Insights". Sherry Jackson reveals in her interview for this episode that the kiss was supposed to be a soft "screen kiss", but that Shatner startled her and forcefully took her into his arms and french-kissed her, full tongue and all. Sherry Jackson said in the interview that "Bill really kissed me!". (Source: Sci-Fi Channel) In the first season blooper reel, there is a funny clip from this episode. In it, the cast use Korby's android machine dais as a go-go dance platform. You can see Nichelle Nichols without her Uhura wig in this clip. The title comes from the children's nursery rhyme: What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice and everything nice.

Background Information
This episode's title is not only the shortest in the original series, it is also the only one that is rendered on-screen in italics. In the final scene, Kirk refers to "Space Central," another early name for Starfleet Command. It is reused in "Amok Time" in another guise, as Vulcan Space Central.

Cast John Arndt (Fields) was a regular extra; he also played unnamed crewmen in "Dagger of the Mind" and "Space Seed" and Sturgeon in "The Man Trap". When Arndt appeared in "Balance of Terror", his character was named Fields. Jim Goodwin's character, Lt. John Farrell, was referred to as a "communications man" by Harry Mudd, and Magda learned how to contact the miners on Rigel XII from him. After being a navigator in "Mudd's Women" and "The Enemy Within", Farrell is at the communications section in this episode, his final appearance in the series, although he still wears the gold command shirt. Melanie and Lisabeth Shatner are the daughters of William Shatner and Gloria Rand. Steven McEveety is the son of director Vincent McEveety. Scott Whitney is Grace Lee Whitney's son. Darlene and Dawn Roddenberry are the daughters of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Phil Morris, son of Mission: Impossible star Greg Morris, would later appear in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. Keith Taylor replaced Rusty Stevens on Leave it to Beaver as Beaver's new plump friend, Harry. James Doohan (Scotty), George Takei (Sulu) and Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) do not appear in this episode. It was on the Friday night end-of-the-week party after filming this episode that Grace Lee Whitney (Janice Rand) was sexually assaulted by a member of the show whom she identifies only as "The Executive" in her autobiography The Longest Trek. She was fired soon after and her descent into a very messy life began, which she eventually recovered from and became a Jewish Christian. The security guards simply disappear during the middle of the episode. David Ross reappears after McCoy tests the vaccine. John Arndt can be seen in the background in the final planet scene. Probably to save make-up costs, neither one of the guards has any blotches from the disease. The hook - a planet that is not only Earthlike, but also an exact copy of Earth - never really figures into the plot. (Compare Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Planetary Development.) Presumably, an Earth duplicate was used in this episode simply because it would have been prohibitively expensive to create an entirely alien culture. Nonetheless, this plot point has led to speculation, mostly in the form of fan fiction, about how this planet came to be. This is also discussed in William Shatner's book Preserver. Two significant plot points the discovery of the radio station that sent out the automatic SOS and the discovery that the children will soon run out of food are mentioned in voice-over log entries but not depicted. Presumably this was due to time and cost restraints. In his first volume of Star Trek episode adaptations, James Blish supplies a backstory that is vastly superior to that of the "identical Earth" premise depicted in the television episode. Blish wrote that Miri's planet is the fourth planet orbiting the star 70 Ophiucus, and is a beautiful Earth-like planet having one large and two smaller continents connected by islands. Ophiucus IV (or Ophiucus 4 Blish never names the planet) is located between twelve and fifteen light years from Earth and had been the first planet outside Earths solar system to be colonized, in this case by refugees from the so-called "Cold Peace" in the early 2100s, about 500 years before the events depicted in the television episode. These colonists were isolationists who violently repulsed the first attempt to contact them by a later expedition from Earth, and so no further contact was attempted. As it turned out, the Ophiucus system was in a "backwater" part of the galaxy that subsequent years of Earth-based space exploration passed by, and so the belligerent colony was easily ignored and almost forgotten. Around 300 years before the events shown in Miri, scientists on Ophiucus IV developed the experimental life-prolongation project that resulted in the deaths of every adult on the planet. Yet despite their close proximity, the distress signal sent by the colony didnt reach Earth because Ophiucus IV stood between Earth and the center of the Milky Way, whose radiation created interstellar static that drowned out the SOS signal the colony had directed towards Earth. If not the first, this is one of the first episodes to feature location shooting. The planet-side exterior sets are the exteriors from The Andy Griffith Show, redressed. This is the first appearance of McCoy's portable biocomp, which he will use later in "The Omega Glory". Yeoman Rand uses a piece of equipment that is possibly the portable electron microscope requested from the ship. This can be seen in later episodes, as well in fact, it strongly resembles the device Scotty uses when he is controlling the view screen playback in "The Menagerie, Part I". The alley in which Spock and the guards have debris dropped on them is seen again in "The City on the Edge of Forever", when Kirk and Spock are accosted by the policeman. Kim Darby was much older than thirteen or so when she played this role (she was 19), which was probably why she wore such baggy clothes.

Story

Sets and Props

 DeForest Kelley displays a feeling of sad reverence as he gently handles the abandoned tricycle on the planet. Effects The signal coming from the planet can be heard in The Outer Limits episode, "The Man Who Was Never Born". The Earth sphere model from this episode is reused later in "Shore Leave" (painted green and printed backwards) and "Arena" (painted a hazy orange). Stock footage from this episode of the Enterprise orbiting "Earth" is reused in "Assignment: Earth". The planet has the exact same geographical configuration of its continents as modern Earth, only without any clouds. This is not only the shortest episode title in the original series, but it is also the only title that is rendered on screen in italics. However, the end credits are not in italics, and the font style seen there was never used again.

Nota: Podemos observar por primera vez la Fusin mental vulcaniana, que realiza Spock, para adentrarse en la mente de Van Gelder y averiguar que pasa realmente en la colonia. Background Information
"Dagger of the Mind" marked the first appearance of the Vulcan mind meld. The first draft for this episode's script was turned in on 6 July 1966. The final draft was turned in 30 July, and the revised final draft turned in 5 August, with further revised pages dated 6 and 8 August. This episode is mentioned as taking place after a Christmas party in the science labs, which would place the time frame at mid to late December of 2266. This is one of the few times a religious holiday is mentioned in the Star Trek future. Christmas in particular was never heard of again until Star Trek Generations, although Eleen having a child in a cave in "Friday's Child" in that Christmas-month broadcast may not have been a coincidence. It is also important to note that the surname of the character who mentions this Christmas party to Kirk is (Helen) "Noel," which means "Christmas" in French. Writer S. Bar-David is a pen name for Shimon Wincelberg. He incorporated several references to Jewish parables into the screenplay. The part of Helen Noel was originally written for Grace Lee Whitney's character Janice Rand; however, producers wanted to avoid showing Kirk becoming involved with her, and Grace Lee Whitney was already on the verge of leaving the show due to personal problems on the set. The title of this episode is taken from a line of Shakespeare's play, Macbeth. Macbeth is preparing to murder his king's children, and sees a dagger that he attempts to grasp, only to discover it is a figment of his imagination. The relevant passage from the soliloquy reads: Is this a dagger which I see before me The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.

I have thee not, and yet I see thee still Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? Or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation Proceeding from the heat-oppressd brain? The name Lethe is a reference to the River of Forgetfulness in Greek mythology. The box beamed up from Tantalus in which Van Gelder is hiding is labeled "Bureau of Penology, Stockholm, Eurasia-NE." This may indicate that in the 23rd Century, independent nations will no longer exist on Earth. The wall behind the transporter console has been replaced with a panel from Engineering in this episode. This is so the transporter operator can be distracted by checking the instruments as Van Gelder emerges from the box that's on the pad. When Fields calls the bridge to report sighting Van Gelder in the corridor, the sign on the wall next to him says "Personnel Director." Another sign in the corridor can be seen to say "Science Library" while one with an arrow points to "Briefing Room." The chair used in the neural neutralizer room would later be re-used by Garth in "Whom Gods Destroy". The matte painting for "Where No Man Has Gone Before" is recycled here, with the towers on the fuel bins painted out and a different doorway added. The shot of the Enterprise miniature heading back to Tantalus at the beginning of Act 2 does not appear in any other episode. The ship shifts slightly before veering out of frame; when this shot is used in other episodes, model merely veers off. James Doohan (Scotty) and George Takei (Sulu) do not appear in this episode. William Shatner's toupee can be seen to move as he writhes in the neural neutralizer chair. This was the final episode solely produced by Gene Roddenberry. This episode was spoofed in the South Park second season episode Roger Ebert Should Lay Off the Fatty Foods. It involved a neural neutralizer-like device in a planetarium which controls the minds of unwilling victims (complete with Star Trek sound effects) and a mind meld was used to determine the plot. The episode concludes with the villain being left in the planetarium with the device turned on but no one making suggestions emptying his mind, identical to the events in the TOS episode. Continuity Error: Kirk knocks down both Adams and his assistant Eli in the neural neutralizer treatment room, yet only Adams is affected by the beam. This could be because Eli is already somewhat drained (like a mindless zombie) from the machine when Kirk first saw him. The treatment smocks worn by Adams and Eli have the same insignia as Dr. Cory in "Whom Gods Destroy". The producers still hadn't settled on background sound effects for the bridge when this episode was produced. Both the older bridge sound effect (first heard in "The Cage") and the familiar whirring sound that would eventually would become standard were used in this episode. The final shooting draft of this script strangely indicates that Spock places his hands on Van Gelder's abdomen while performing the mind meld. A shipping label produced for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine shows that a (now elderly) Dr. Van Gelder is still in charge of the Tantalus Penal Colony in the 2370s.

Background Information
This was the first regular episode of Star Trek: The Original Series produced following the two pilots. This episode is marked by several firsts. Besides being the first regular episode produced after the two pilots, it was also the first appearance of the black-collared Starfleet uniforms, including skirt uniforms for (nearly) all the women; and the first appearances of Leonard McCoy, Janice Rand, and Uhura. It was also the first episode in which the forward sections of the warp engine nacelles were made to glow, though in the teaser this doesn't happen because it seems to have used footage from "The Cage". Some of the uniforms have higher, loose "turtleneck" black collars, particularly Spock's. In Sulu's first close-up, the zipper built into the collar is clearly visible. That is because these were actually leftovers from the first two pilots that were retrofitted, not quite expertly, with the new black collars. In both this episode and "Mudd's Women", Uhura wears a command division gold uniform. Some of the extras on the bridge after the cube's destruction are wearing turtleneck uniforms left over from "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before". When Kirk leaves sickbay, he throws his uniform shirt over his shoulders; the tunic has only two solid gold rank stripes. In the turbolift and changing in his quarters, his tunic has the 2 stripe marking. There are signs of this being an early production, such as a bridge chair squeaking rather loudly near the end of the episode (when Uhura is listening in on Balok's distress call), as well as hearing the ship doors, made of wood, slide on the stage floor as they open and close. Stage noises would be edited out of later episodes. When Kirk reports to the bridge from the turbolift, a rare camera angle from the elevator illustrates the panel to the right of the main viewscreen, and the two bridge consoles to the left of the science station. These sections were usually rolled out (off-screen) to facilitate filming the navigation console and Spock's station.

Like "Where No Man Has Gone Before", the turbolift has double doors (the inner is gray; the outer is red), like modern elevators. This feature was later eliminated, probably because it was too cumbersome to maintain. The distinctive bridge sound effects that most associate with Star Trek are first heard in this episode. The effect did not originate with 'Star Trek'. Early episodes of "The Twilight Zone" (notably "Execution" from 1960), feature this distinctive computer sound. The set of Balok's room was a re-dress of the Enterprise conference room set. It was later recycled to create the bar in "Court Martial". The "tranya" served by Balok was actually grapefruit juice. Clint Howard had to pretend very hard to like the drink, which he found distasteful. A nice detail of this episode was having the colors of the cube buoy reflected on the railings at the front of the bridge. When this perspective was later re-used as the stock view screen shot for the next three seasons, the reflecting lights still showed up on the railings. (A new stock shot of the viewscreen was made in the middle of the second season.) Also filmed for this episode (by associated producer Robert Justman) was George Takei's reaction shot in which he turned around and looked at Kirk, reused in dozens of future episodes whenever something strange appeared on the viewscreen. A similar clip would be filmed of Walter Koenig during season two. A line from Balok warning the crew they had one minute left was not recorded, leaving Sulu to comment, "I knew he would" in response to nothing. The preview has an unused cut of Balok saying, "We grant you one minute" that could be modified and dubbed into the episode. There are detailed close-ups of some of the engineering station read-outs in this episode. The unique phaser burst that the Enterprise fires at the warning buoy is seen only in this episode. The camera shot of the ship being towed by the small First Federation pilot vessel, from a perspective behind the nacelles, were re-used countless times in future episodes, with different ships or planets matted in. When it was used later, it was often slowed down, which made it much more grainy than the clear print in this episode. Although we never learn the specific dimensions of the Enterprise during the series, it is established visually to be bigger than the cube. Sulu says the cube is 107 meters on a side. Spock confesses an ignorance of poker, and he probably wouldn't enjoy the game since he said in "The Doomsday Machine" that Vulcans do not bluff. This episode was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1967 as "Best Dramatic Presentation". Part of engineering's location is referred to in this episode. Kirk orders Bailey to coordinate drills with engineering, and Bailey says on two distinct occasions "Come on, Deck 5, give me the green light!" and also "Engineering Deck 5, report! Come on phaser crews, let's get with it!". He could either be referring to an engine room in the saucer on

deck 5 or a separate "engineering deck 5" that exists in lower levels (where some of engineering is referenced to be in episodes like "The Enemy Within", "The Conscience of the King", and "Day of the Dove"). When Sulu announces there is one minute left on the timer, the timer actually reads: "2:02...2:01...1:00 (the twominute marker changes to one as the one-second marker changes to zero) ...1:59," suggesting there are actually two minutes left. Afterwards, they only show the seconds. When addressing the Fesarius, Kirk refers to the Enterprise as "United Earth Ship". This is the only episode where the Enterprise is identified as United Earth Ship Enterprise, or UES Enterprise. James Doohan's wartime injury to his right hand is briefly visible in the conference room scene when he passes a coffee thermos. Generally this was carefully hidden off-camera, but it can also be seen when he's holding a phaser in "Catspaw". This is one of the few episodes of the original which places a time stamp on the events. It is placed two centuries after mankind's early space explorations, or roughly the late 22nd century.

Background Information
Sets, props and costumes A matte painting was created for the Starbase 11 exterior. Large cranes can be seen in the background, representing construction on the starbase or perhaps assembly of starship components. The wall used in this scene was recycled for "A Taste of Armageddon" and "Wink of an Eye". The round dais in front of the wall was later used by Tharn and his council in "Mirror, Mirror". The Starbase Operations set is a redress of the engineering room set. An opaque blue wall has been placed behind the grid to hide the forced perspective set.The panel in this room from which Spock issues orders to the Enterprise is a re-use of the neural neutralizer control panel from "Dagger of the Mind". The computer banks in the room will later be seen in "A Taste of Armageddon". The structures seen outside Mendez's windows are cut-outs of buildings. In the first scene in Mendez' office, behind Kirk is a clear view of a corner of the set behind one of the pieces. Commodore Mendez' desk features one of the gooseneck video screens seen on the early Enterprise bridge in "The Cage". In this episode, "Court Martial" and "The Conscience of the King", we see 23rd century doors that are opened with handles. During the indoor scenes on Starbase 11, if you look outside the windows at the night sky and cityscape, you can occasionally see white objects passing by. These may have been intended to be shuttles or shooting stars. The most clear and undisputed scene in which to see one of these objects is in the beginning. After Commodore Mendez approaches Captain Pike in regard to his visitors, you can see a small white dot slowly flying in the lower left of the window.

Scotty does not wear a dress uniform during Spock's court-martial, possibly due to budget constraints. He will finally get a dress tunic in "Space Seed". The footage used from the original pilot "The Cage" was directed by Robert Butler. He is not credited for it here although he is credited as the sole director of "The Menagerie, Part II" despite that episode also containing material shot by Marc Daniels. When Spock orders the Enterprise back to retrieve the shuttlecraft, he tells the transporter room to "prepare to beam Captain Kirk aboard." He doesn't mention Mendez, whom we've seen on the shuttlecraft with Kirk. We find out in "The Menagerie, Part II" that by this point Mendez was a Talosian illusion, suggesting that Spock already knew that, or the Enterprise's sensors simply didn't detect anyone other than Kirk. Footage of the shuttlecraft is reused from "The Galileo Seven". Although, because it was aired before "The Galileo Seven", "The Menagerie, Part I" was the first episode featuring the shuttlecraft in the original series. A scene which shows crewman listening to the intercom in a corridor is reused from "The Corbomite Maneuver". This is the same starbase seen in "Court Martial". It is not made clear why there is now a different commodore in charge of the base. Perhaps Mendez and Stone had different responsibilities. Stone had been referred to as the base's commanding officer in the previous episode, named in the credits as the "portmaster."

Story and production

Effects: When Pike is kidnapped, Mendez pauses for a second as though listening to something, then says, "Mendez here, what is it?" A voice or attention signal was not dubbed in at that point. Significance and legacy This episode won the 1967 Hugo Award for "Best Dramatic Presentation". "The Menagerie, Part I" and "The Menagerie, Part II" constitute the only two-parter in the run of the original Star Trek. Chris Pike's wheelchair has become ensconced in popular culture. It has been seen in many series such as Futurama and South Park.

Ambas partes de "The Menagerie" usaron escenas del episodio piloto original de la serie "The Cage" como las pruebas visuales de la misin de Pike. Background Information
The first draft of this episode's script (along with that of "Part I") was completed on 3 October 1966 with the subsequent final draft being turned in on 7 October. Robert Butler is the only credited director on this episode. However, Butler had actually directed "The Cage" much material from which is used in "The Menagerie, Part II". The courtroom scenes in "The Menagerie, Part II" were actually directed by the credited director of "The Menagerie, Part I" Marc Daniels who recieves no onscreen credit for them here. Likewise Butler was not credited for the portions of his "The Cage" used in "The Menagerie, Part I".

Essentially both episodes feature material directed by both men but they are only credited once each, Daniels on the first part and Butler on the second. "The Menagerie, Parts I" and "II" constitute the only two-parter in the run of the original Star Trek. Combined, the two parts of this script only run to 64 pages, shorter than the scripts for many one-hour episodes. This is due to the heavy use of footage from "The Cage," which only had to be briefly noted by scene designations in the script format. DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy), James Doohan (Scotty) and George Takei (Sulu) do not appear in this episode. Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) does not appear on-screen but she does have several voice over lines at the end of the episode. Along with "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" and "Errand of Mercy", this is one of only three episodes after the two pilots in which Kelley does not appear. In the script, McCoy and Scott have a scene wherein they explain to Kirk how they figured out which computer bank Spock tampered with to lock the ship on course. They took perspiration readings on all banks, and since Spock's sweat has copper in it, voila. The footage the Talosians send to the Enterprise differs from what had happened in "The Cage"; specifically, when Pike asks The Keeper if he'll give Vina back her illusion of beauty, The Keeper replies "And more" and restores Vina's appearance. However, in "The Cage", The Keeper not only restored Vina's beauty, but also created an illusion of Captain Pike for her and the two of them returned to the underground community. This was changed for "The Menagerie" so that The Keeper could show Captain Kirk the image of Pike restored to health (and back in his old-style Starfleet uniform) and going underground with Vina. At the end of the episode, Mr. Spock takes Captain Pike to the transporter room, sees him off and beams him down all in less than two seconds, athough the Talosians probably had him sent down far quicker with their powers. Sean Kenney took over the role of Pike from Jeffrey Hunter. Kenney would also appear as DePaul in TOS Season 1. Because Malachi Throne was cast as Commodore Mendez, it was neccesary to re-dub the Keeper's dialog by altering the pitch of the actor's voice. Malachi Throne would later play Romulan Senator Pardek in TNG: "Unification I" and "Unification II".

Dic 8, 1966 * escrito por Barry Trivers * dirigido por Gerd Oswald * msica de Mullendore * Fecha Estelar 2817.6: Kirk recibe una llamada de Leighton, un amigo de cuando Kirk estuvo en la colonia de Tarsus IV aos atras, quien cree que Kodos el Ejecutor, el dictador militar que dio la orden de asesinar a cientos de personas durante la permanencia de Kirk en la colonia, est en libertad una vez ms bajo el disfraz del actor Shakespeariano Karidian, quien, con su compaa ambulante, se ha detenido en el puesto de Leighton para una funcin. Kirk no se convence del todo hasta que Leighton aparece muerto, dejando a Kirk y al Tte. Riley como los nicos testigos vivos de la masacre de Tarsus IV. Para investigar mejor, Kirk invita a la compaa de Karidian a viajar en la Enterprise hasta su prxima funcin, y los intentos de asesinato sobre Kirk y Riley comienzan de inmediato. Background Information
Cast The song sung by Uhura is "Beyond Antares". Dreamlike and rendered beautifully by Nichelle Nichols, it adds excellent atmosphere to this episode. Nichelle Nichols got to interact with the Vulcan harp again in "Elaan of Troyius", but that scene was cut. The voice of Captain Daily is the same voice used for "Starbase Operations" in "The Menagerie, Part I", and is the same actor seen as "Mike", one of Kirk's old classmates at the bar in "Court Martial". The actor's name is probably Tom Curtis. Spock's humanity is on display again in this episode. He is very impassioned as he speaks of the mass-murders on Tarsus IV. His conversation with McCoy also has 'Star Trek's' first direct reference to eugenics, although there is an oblique reference in "What Are Little Girls Made Of?". Eddie Paskey's character name, Mr. Leslie, is finally established in this episode.

It's a good thing it was, too, because Uhura asks Spock for harp lessons, even though she already knew how to play it.

Her walk-on bridge appearance and stern look at Lenore is Grace Lee Whitney's last appearance in the series, although in the script, she interrupted Kirk and Lenore on the Observation Deck to bring Kirk a report. In the original draft, a "Crewman Daiken" was the young man whose parents had been murdered by Kodos. In the end, he was replaced by actor Bruce Hyde as Kevin Riley. It was quite a change, since Riley was largely played for laughs in his first appearance, "The Naked Time". He was a navigator then, but in this episode he's a communications officer who's just been transferred from Engineering. However, he still wears the gold command shirt. Presumably, he hasn't yet had the chance to get a new red shirt. James Doohan (Scotty) and George Takei (Sulu) do not appear in this episode. The title is a reference to the line from Hamlet: "The play's the thing Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the King." (Act 2; Scene 2) The episode contains several not-so-subtle references to that play: A leader's troubled conscience, his crimes being exposed during a play, and a daughter going insane (or more so, in Lenore's case) after the accidental killing of her father. An even less subtle (but nicely done) reference is in the teaser: The Karidian Company is performing a scene from Macbeth, where the title character (Karidian) murders King Duncan and utters the line, Will all Neptune's great ocean wash this blood clean from my hands? This episode seems to be an allegory about the search for Nazi war criminals long after the end of World War II combat operations. The Soviet troops who liberated the Nazi capital believed they had found the body of Adolf Hitler, albeit burnt beyond recognition, in 1945 - twenty-one years before the production and first airing of this TOS episode. The phaser overload emergency is the only known instance when a double red alert was declared. However, in James Blish's adaptation of Court Martial in Star Trek 2, he has Kirk ordering a red alert and then a double red alert during the ion stormas opposed to the yellow alert and red alert that were depicted onscreen. "Red alert" and "Double Red Alert" were used in the final draft script but were changed on-set before filming. When Spock declines to have a drink with McCoy by saying that his people were "spared the dubious benefits of alcohol", McCoy scorns Spock's refusal by stating that he now knows why Vulcan was conquered. This is contradicted in "The Immunity Syndrome," when Spock says that Vulcan has not been conquered in its collective memory. Kirk refers to Riley not as a Starfleet officer, but rather as a lieutenant in the "Star Service" - another early name for Starfleet. Joseph Mullendore's score for this episode would be heard again in "Court Martial", "Shore Leave", "Space Seed", "The City on the Edge of Forever" and in the teaser of "The Return of the Archons". The Star Trek theme song is performed by the lounge band at Tom Leighton's party. This is the first time the Star Trek theme has been played as source music. It's interesting that when Lenore shoots Koridian/Kodos and kills him, she doesn't zap him into oblivion as the "kill" setting normally does. Presumably, she needed a body to weep over. The preview trailer for this episode gives the stardate as 2817.2. Kirk's quarters are labeled as 3F 121. The preview for this episode features an alternate edit of Kirk searching for the overloaded phaser in his quarters. It was unused because the plywood under the mattress of his bunk was visible. This is the only appearance of the Observation Deck, which overlooks the Flight Deck. McCoy's cabinet has two skulls in it for the first time in this episode. The Pressure Vent Disposal drawer, into which Kirk places the overloading phaser, would later be used by Lazarus to cause a fire in "The Alternative Factor". The small drawer would be filled with circuits for that scene. In the scene where security guards are searching for Kevin Riley in the corridors, you can see rectangular seams in the floor. This is where the grates visible in "Charlie X" and other early episodes were eliminated and filled in with the corridor floor material. The equipment-filled alcove that McCoy and Spock pass in the corridor as they discuss Kodos the Executioner is labeled "Engineering Circuit Bay". This sign was later placed next to the Jefferies tube in season two. The city in the background out Tom Leighton's window is the same one used as Mojave in "The Cage". The window itself was used in the Delta Vega lithium cracking station set in "Where No Man Has Gone Before". This is the only episode that shows nighttime on the Enterprise. Kirk says that they try to approximate conditions of night and day as closely as possible. However, various senior officers bid each other "Good night" in Is There in Truth No Beauty? and Spock and McCoy exchange "Good night"s in Requiem for Methuselah. The ship's theater is a redress of the Engineering set. Pieces of the ship's gymnasium are hanging on the walls, and the ceiling can be seen of this set in one of three glimpses in the first season. The Observation Deck is a redress of the Romulan bridge set from "Balance of Terror".

Story and production

Sets and props

Legacy

The Karidians' quarters aboard the Enterprise are more-aptly called a "VIP suite," the only one of its kind seen in TOS. Just inside the door is a "sitting area." Further back, behind the grating, are two doors leading to separate bedrooms. Finally, two walls of the sitting area feature the same "inset bookcases" that were last used in Pike's quarters in "The Cage." It's interesting that the design of the spray bottle has not changed at all since the 20th century, as witnessed in the poisoning of Riley's milk. Chairs are shown by the panels in Engineering. They're never seen again. Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons named his recurring alien characters "Kodos" and "Kang" after the characters in this episode and "Day of the Dove," respectively. Stating that this was his favorite episode of TOS, writer Ronald D. Moore commented: I liked the backstory of Kirk as a young man caught up in a revolution and the nightmarish slaughter by Governor Kodos. I liked the Shakespearean overtones to the episode as well as the use of the plays themselves. And I absolutely loved Kirk in this episode a troubled man haunted by the shadows of the past, a man willing to lure Karidian to his ship under false pretenses, willing to do one of his more cold-blooded seductions on Lenore, willing fight with his two closest friends, and risk his entire command in the name of justice. Or was it vengeance? Kirk's aware of his own lack of objectivity, his own flaws to be in this hunt for a killer, but he cannot push the burden away and refuses pull back from his quest to track down Kodos no matter what the cost. It also has some of my favorite lines in TOS. The scene with Spock and McCoy in Kirk's quarters is one of the series' highlights. The brooding tone and the morally ambiguous nature of the drama fascinated me and definitely influenced my thinking as to what Trek could and should be all about. [1]

In his reimagined version of Battlestar Galactica, executive producer Ronald D. Moore named the prison barge "Astral Queen" after the ship commanded in this episode by John Daily. In the 4th season ENT episode, "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II," the future biographical information displayed for Hoshi Sato states that she was one of the 4,000 people killed by Kodos on the Tarsus colony.

This episode saw the introduction of the Romulan Star Empire in Star Trek. It was writer Paul Schneider who is credited with creating the Romulans. It is said he wished to create an adversary worthy of Kirk, one with the flavour of a space-faring Roman Empire. Sadly, with the make-up for the Romulans too expensive, and the budget

limited, the Klingons were cheaper to use. Schneider's next contribution would be "The Squire of Gothos", which interestingly is the next episode stardate-wise following this episode, although it has equipment updates not seen in "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" through "The Galileo Seven". The plot of this episode is based on the 1957 movie The Enemy Below, with the Enterprise taking the part of the American destroyer and the Bird-of-Prey with its cloaking device taking the part of the submarine. According to Harlan Ellison, when Paul Schneider told him he had adapted "The Enemy Below" for television, Harlan then refused to speak to him. This is the only time in which the ship's weaponry is fired through a chain of commands (Kirk to Stiles to phaser room). This gives the episode more of its "submarine versus destroyer" feel. Conveniently, it also allows Spock a chance to save the day and redeem himself in Stiles's eyes. Much has been made of Roddenberry's belief that prejudice would be obsolete by the 23rd century. He reportedly was dismayed that the crew would display some bigotry toward Klingons in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Yet, in this episode, Stiles makes no secret of his hatred toward Romulans and his distaste for Spock once he learns what the Romulans look like. Kirk, of course, calls him on the carpet for his views. Although phasers are used throughout the episode, the visual effect seen is that which later became used for photon torpedo launches, probably because the term "photon torpedo" was not invented until later in the season, in "Arena". Kirk orders the phasers to be "set for proximity blast"; not surprisingly, each phaser blast acts like a Navy depth charge. Dialogue in the episode establishes that there are multiple weapons batteries onboard, "Helm" and "Starboard" weapons being specifically mentioned. This is the only time a book is used on the Enterprise, other than being seen on a shelf in someone's quarters. The book in the briefing room scene is a tome on comets. The title is "Table of Comets, Galaxy Quadrant," followed by unreadable numbers. Regular first-season extra Ron Veto gets his only close-up in TOS, when he replaces Stiles at the navigation console. Continuing Trek's "progressive" cultural presentations, an almost unnoticed bit of staging might indicate that Angela Martine was Catholic, as she is seen genuflecting before the altar in the ship's chapel during her aborted wedding ceremony. While hardly controversial today, for the 1960s it was a fairly bold thing to show, considering the prejudice against Catholics that was still common in those days. Note, however, that this is not exclusively a Roman Catholic practice. Episcopalians also genuflect in front of the altar, so perhaps this gesture is not all that unusual. The Romulan helmets shown aboard the Romulan bridge were designed to cover the ears of the actors. This saved the additional cost of creating prosthetic ear-points for each of the supporting actors. While in Kirk's quarters, McCoy gives an estimate of the number of Earth-like planets in the galaxy. This is one of the inputs to the Drake equation. The preview trailer gives the stardate for this episode as 1710.0. In the William Shatner novel The Return, where Kirk is resurrected by a Borg/Romulan alliance to kill Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the Romulan alliance is arranged by the granddaughter of the Romulan commander of this mission, convinced that Starfleet are brutal murderers and seeking revenge for her grandfather's death at Kirk's hands. The book "The Making of Star Trek" stated that the ship's chapel was a redress of the transporter room. Yet in this episode, and the other episode the chapel is seen ("The Tholian Web") the chapel is an obvious redress of the briefing room.

This episode's story outline was turned in on 5 May 1966, with a revised outline coming in on 13 May 1966. The first draft of the script was completed on 3 October 1966 with the final draft dated on 14 October (further revised pages 18, 19, and 21 October). A great deal of new music was written for this episode, including the jig that plays whenever Finnegan appears. The beautiful flute and string piece that is played when Kirk meets Ruth will later be heard in TOS: "This Side of Paradise", and a slightly different orchestration crops up in TOS: "The Apple". Although Kirk appears to address the 'Angela' character as 'Teller' early in the episode, she is played by Barbara Baldavin, who played Angela Martine in Balance of Terror (her fianc, Robert Tomlinson, died in the episode). The script name for her character was Mary Teller and was changed to Angela Martine on the set when somebody noticed Barbara Baldavin already appeared as a named character. Spock conjures up the tiger when he mentions that Rodriguez had thought of it, yet Rodriguez's communicator wasn't working, so no one else knew he had seen the tiger. This incongruity appears because the scene in the script where Rodriguez, dazed, rejoins Spock, Sulu and Tonia (after Kirk runs after Finnegan for their knock-down-dragout) was edited out of the aired episode. Though the script does not have a scene where Rodriguez reports all he knows and has seen to Spock, it does not take a great leap of the imagination to imagine that he would do so. Thus Spock would know of his run-in with the tiger. That continuity blooper and others in this episode (such as Barrows' uniform being ripped in different places) are likely due to the fact that this was literally being re-written as it was being shot. Cast members recalled Roddenberry sitting under a tree and frantically engaged in this. Editor Fabien Tordjmann came up with the idea of having Finnegan continue to pop out of nowhere as Kirk pursues him. This gave the impression that there was more than one Finnegan. It is easy to miss, but Angela is also "repaired" by the Caretaker's underground repair area. Rodriguez can be seen looking into the distance in amazement near the end of the show, and in the next scene, he's got his arm around her. This is the first of two episodes in which the ship is shown orbiting right to left. It is actually just printed backwards, as the numbers on the nacelles are reversed. The second instance, and only in the teaser, is "Mirror, Mirror." Also unique to this episode, the handles of the phaser pistols are painted black. The World War II fighter plane sequence is notable. When it is first seen in the distance it appears to be a USMC Corsair with its gull wing configuration and markings. When the plane comes in closer for a ground attack it appears to be the front of a P-47 Thunderbolt. Finally, for the is a closeups of cockpit and wing section, it appears to be a Japanese Zero along with Imperial Japanese aircraft markings. Most of this show was filmed at "Africa, USA." It can be seen in many television series of the sixties. The "wind chime" planet sound effect heard here is unique to this episode. The scenes with Ruth, the samurai and Spock's beam-down were all filmed at Vasquez Rocks near the Antelope Valley. Bruce Mars might not have had much of a film career, but his exuberant and maniacal performance here made Finnegan one of "Star Trek's" memorable characters. William Shatner originally hoped to wrestle the tiger, but was convinced it would not be a wise decision. Sulu the hobbyist is seen to have a great interest in ancient firearms in this episode. He will tell the space hippies in "The Way to Eden" that his key interests are botany and weapons. Sulu fires the six shot revolver four times and Kirk fires it three, for a total of seven shots. The preview of this episode shows Yeoman Barrows being accosted by Don Juan while wearing her princess costume. This scene was not used in the final cut.

Emily Banks turned in an exceptional performance as Barrows. She was likeable and believable in addition to being beautiful - a marked improvement over Yeoman Mears in "The Galileo Seven." Unfortunately, this was Barrows' only appearance. Thereafter, the yeoman role became mostly thankless and typically sexist in accordance with the time. However, like Barrows, yeomen Janice Rand, Martha Landon (TOS: "The Apple") and Leslie Thompson (TOS: "By

Any Other Name") also gave strong performances. Landon would have been a welcome recurring role (especially for Chekov), but Thompson was killed off. Assuming that Kirk is 33 years old in this episode (he says his age is 34 in "The Deadly Years"), Ruth must have been quite a bit older than he when he met her. He says she "hasn't aged" and that it has been "fifteen years" since he's seen her. As in Arena, the shore leave planet is an Earth globe printed backwards with exotic colors added. Trying to disguise this might be the reason the ship orbits in the opposite direction. The use of Paul Baxley (frequent Shatner stunt double) during the fight with Finnegan at Vasquez Rocks is noticeable, although Vince Deadrick is a dead ringer for Bruce Mars.

Shatner and Baxley somehow managed to keep a phaser pistol securely fastened to their belts throughout the fight. With all the rolling and tumbling, however, the prop couldn't be one the actors normally use. It was probably made of something soft, since Shatner and Baxley kept falling on it. James Doohan (Scotty) does not appear in this episode. The chain around the tiger's neck used to control the animal between takes can be seen in its two appearances. Though the tiger never directly interacts with any of the performers, they brought in a real animal rather than using stock footage. There were plans for an elephant to appear in this episode, as well as a pterodactyl, but they never materialized. The author of the episode, Theodore Sturgeon, submitted a story outline for "Shore Leave II" in April 1968 but it was not produced. It is unknown whether any of the concepts were later worked into TAS: "Once Upon a Planet". According to Justman and Solow's book Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, the cast disliked working with director Robert Sparr, which resulted in this episode being his only Trek assignment. Mystery Science Theater 3000 paid tribute to the episode in their episode "The Thing That Couldn't Die." In the third host segment, the Observers thought they were bringing people from Mike Nelson's past to visit him, but the first person they brought back was Finnegan. Accompanied by a version of his music, Finnegan tormented and beat up Mike.

Background Information
The first draft of this episode's script was completed on 1 September 1966. The final draft was dated 15 September for filming in late September and early October. Bantam Books published a series of novelizations called "foto-novels," which took photographic stills from actual episodes and arranged word balloons and text over them, to create a comic book formatted story. The seventh installment was an adaptation of this episode. According to an Oliver Crawford interview, this was a science-fiction version of a film called "Five Came Back." The preview for this episode shows flames outside the Galileo's front windows - perhaps an originally planned shot for the incineration of the shuttlecraft. There was also several lines of dialog in the preview that did not make it into the final cut. Here is a transcript of the additional dialog: Commissioner: "Do you know what you have done? You've concerned yourself with only seven people. You said something about a needle in a haystack. It's useless." Kirk: "If they're not there Commissioner, then they're dead by now."

The miniature models of the shuttlecraft and the Flight Deck, created for the Galileo take-off, are extremely realistic, even by today's visual effects standards. The Observation Decks are designed to match up with the set seen in "The Conscience of the King". All shuttlecraft model shots used in the series are stock footage from this episode, sometimes matted into different backgrounds. A still of the shuttlecraft model, facing forward inside the miniature Hangar Deck, appears in the end credits of this episode. In the still, the center window of the shuttecraft is open. The episode marks the first appearance in Star Trek of the rank of "Ensign", as Ensign O'Neill is mentioned in this episode. Wah Chang created the ape-creature makeup. It was considered too grotesque to show in close-ups, but the faces of the creatures can still be seen in a few scenes. Also, apparently edited in the interest of taste, is a view of Latimer with the large spear in his back. When Gaetano fires his phaser into the mist, there is an additional mist optical effect that blocks a view of the impaled officer. To make the creatures look larger than they really were, small spear and shield props were made for Buck Maffei to fling at the crew. The one that is dropped near the three men is fairly small in size, but in the next shot, it is much larger. The tool that will later be the laser beacon in "The Squire of Gothos" is sitting above the nacelle of the shuttlecraft in an early scene. Phyllis Douglas returned as one of the 'space hippies' in "The Way to Eden". The part of Yeoman Mears was originally written for Yeoman Rand, but Grace Lee Whitney had just been written out of the series. One factor that has dated this episode is the use of dials with needles to indicate pressure levels. The tool used is similar to the gauges that a mechanic uses to work on a car's air-conditioning system. Another very 20th century automotive tool appears here. Spock and Scotty work on the Galileo using a nut-driver, which is seen on the shuttlecraft's floor. This episode establishes that there is more than one transporter room on the Enterprise. Kirk clearly uses the plural, "transporters". In all other episodes, only the singular is used. When Gaetano tries to scramble up the cliff to escape the approaching creature, chips of the artificial surface flake off. In one early scene on Taurus II, when Spock is leaving the shuttlecraft, a hand can be seen on the lower part of its door. Although the Galileo was destroyed in this episode, it appeared again in four later episodes, "Journey to Babel", "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield", "Metamorphosis", and "The Way to Eden". However, it wasn't until its final appearance in "The Way to Eden" that the full-scale ship was repainted to read Galileo II. After this episode was filmed, no new shots of the shuttlecraft miniature were taken. All scenes of the shuttlecraft in flight in subsequent episodes were stock footage taken from this episode. The shuttlecraft mock-up itself was eventually acquired by Roger Heisman of Palos Verdes, Calif. He relegated it to his front lawn where it sat for years, gradually decaying from the effects of the weather. James Doohan was very vocal over the years in his complaints that William Shatner was bent on taking screen time away from other actors. John Crawford voiced similar complaints in an interview, stating that he had a very unpleasant time in his scenes with Shatner on the bridge. In the scene after Latimer is killed, the shuttle crew is crouched near a rock and tries to convince Spock to attack the creatures. Spock finally capitulates, but is so upset by being pressured that he momentarily forgets Scott's name, telling McCoy and Mears to assist "Mr. (pause) err, Scott". Gaetano's sideburns vary from pointed to straight. In part of Act One, the railing around the edge of the bridge, near the Communications and Science stations, is missing. Ferris is called "Galactic High Commissioner" because the name United Federation of Planets had not yet been created. Two years later, in "Elaan of Troyius," the title was renamed "Federation High Commissioner," although it is unknown whether Ferris still held the position. Although the title is obviously from another famous Star Trek episode, the second season South Park episode "City on the Edge of Forever" (aka "Flashbacks", 1998) is very much based upon this episode, with the school children stranded in the school bus, and afraid to go outside in fear of being attacked by a creature that is stalking them.

Kirk y un equipo de salida se transportan a la superficie del misterio planeta y su carcelero resulta ser el inmaduro pero poderoso Trelane, que inicialmente parece ser un estudioso de la antigua historia terrestre (como lo demuestra su mansin del siglo XVII, sus ropas y sus muebles). Kirk, al descubrir que la tecnologa que retiene a la Enterprise es ms avanzada que la del siglo XXIII, intenta derrotar a Trelane en su propio juego, pero Trelane reescribe las reglas constantemente para asegurarse la victoria. Comentario: Por el explicado por Trelane, la sala esta recreada con tecnologia de conversin materia-energia similar a la de los transportadores, lo que vendria a ser una sala de hologramas de STNG. Trelane tiene un comportamiento y poderes similares a los de Q, por lo que seguramente es en concepto de ideas, su padre. Hasta somete a juicio a Kirk.

The first draft of this episode's script was completed on 18 October 1966, the same day the first draft for "Arena" was completed. The final draft for this episode was completed on 26 October for filming in mid-November. The M-113 creature is among the trophies on display in Trelane's castle. When Dr. McCoy (the creature's last defender in "The Man Trap") sees it, he does a double-take. His reaction is enhanced by one of the creepy musical cues from that episode.

Trelane must have had his telescope pointed toward Planet M-113 at one time. It's the only way to explain why there's a "Salt Vampire" statue among his re-creations. Barely visible before Trelane vaporizes it with the phaser is a strange bird-like creature with striped legs that is also in a display niche. It somewhat resembles the bird creature from the Talos zoo in "The Cage", but its exact identity is unknown. Production designer Matt Jefferies says Trelane's castle was one of the projects of which he is most proud out of all his work in Star Trek. Leslie (Eddie Paskey) is in the captain's chair when the crew first escapes Trelane. Curiously enough, he is the transporter officer five seconds before. Leslie will be in the big chair one more time, in "The Alternative Factor". In his fight with William Shatner in the forest, William Campbell fell down and dislocated his shoulder. Fortunately, as he flung his arm up in his instinctive reaction to the excruciating pain, the shoulder popped back into its socket. According to The World of Star Trek production was held up in the quest for accuracy William Campbell's first wig was a French hairpiece. He demanded that an English barrister's wig be found to fit his character. A brief and effective split screen allows bars to appear and block Kirk's escape at the end of the show without having to rely on editing. Trelane's parents do not seem to be aliens with the typical superiority complex we so often see from superbeings. Although they refer to Trelane's specimens as "pets", they also tell Trelane that, in fact, Humans are superior to them because they have spirit and that when he grows up, he will understand this. Spock and Kirk clearly call the meteorologist Mr. "Yay-gur", but both McCoy and DeSalle say "Jay-gur". Based on the German spelling "Jger" (which means "Hunter") the correct pronunciation would be "Yay-gur". The laser beacon, appearing previously in "Charlie X" and "The Galileo Seven", was reused as a sort of soldering tool by Kirk in "The Doomsday Machine". It is identified in The Making of Star Trek as an "Offensive/Defensive Ray Gun," a locution later used by Franz Joseph in the Star Fleet Technical Manual. The tune Trelane has Uhura play on the harpsichord is Roses from the South by Johann Strauss II, complete with decorative interpolations. When Campbell is playing the instrument it is obvious he is just randomly moving his fingers over the keyboard, but this works since we learn later that Trelane is making the instrument play with his powers, not actual musical ability. When first encountered, Trelane is 'playing' the sonata in C Major, K.159, by Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757). Fans have long speculated about a link between Trelane and Q, and author Peter David even wrote a novel, " Q-Squared" predicated on this notion. No canon evidence exists to support this theory, but while many fans support the link others point out that Trelane, unlike Q, appears to need machinery to support his abilities.

The exact century in which Star Trek was set had not been determined during the filming of this episode. Kirk refers to people and events of the 18th and 19th century as being 900 years in the past, which could have placed the series in the 26th century or later. Nonetheless, taking into account that the images Trelane would see of Earth, traveling through space, would take centuries to reach many solar systems, even at light speed. Another element is the idea that, although Trelane could observe the Earth through his viewing scope, he could not know how substances tasted, felt or smelled, resulting in fire without heat and food and drink without flavor. de Forest Research, Inc., the company who reviewed scripts for clearances and other related matters, noted in their commentary on the line "Then you've been looking in on doings nine hundred years past": "Other scripts have placed Star Trek c. 200 years in the future, e.g. "Shore Leave". That places this reference in the 13th century." Trelane also throws in references to much older historical events, such as Hannibal's invaders, indicating that, although he is a child, he has already lived a very long life and has been watching our "lively little Earth" for many centuries. The final hunt between Trelane and Kirk has similarities to Richard Connell's classic tale, "The Most Dangerous Game". Trelane's threat that Kirk will "hang by the neck until dead, dead, dead" is a quote attributed to 19th century Judge Isaac C. Parker, though historians say Parker never actually uttered this while imposing death sentences. Parker's quote would actually, as an example, sound something like: "and that you now be taken to the jail from whence you came, there to be safely and securely kept until the day of execution, and thence on the day of execution appointed as aforesaid, there to be hanged by the neck as aforesaid until you are dead. And may God, whose laws you have broken and before whose dread tribunal you must then appear, have mercy on your soul." [1] And according to information available at the Fort Smith National Historic Site, according to legend, Parker was believed to visibly weep from the bench when pronouncing the death sentence although this is now accepted as being unlikely. [2] A 27 October 1966 memo from Bob Justman to Gene Coon stated in part: "If we transport McCoy, Jaeger and DeSalle down to the surface of Gothos in the orange space suits that we used in "The Naked Time", then the audience will take a full half hour to stop laughing from what our people look like." Curiously enough, Uhura refers to a "Spacefleet Command", even though the names Starfleet and Starfleet Command originated several episodes earlier in "Court Martial", and again in the two-part episode "The Menagerie, Part I" and "The Menagerie, Part II".

This teleplay was credited to an original story by Fredric Brown, also titled "Arena", that was first published in 1944 in the pages of Astounding magazine, though insiders have said that Gene L. Coon wrote his script as an original, unaware of Brown's story, and only sought permission to "adapt" the story after the slight similarities were pointed out to him. The Outer Limits did a story similar to "Arena" that might have also had its genesis in Brown's story, an episode entitled "Fun and Games." In his final speech, the Metron informs Kirk that, because he demonstrated mercy, he will not be destroyed. Initially, they said they planned to destroy the loser, "in the interests of peace". In Coon's script, in dialogue not aired, the Metron admits that they had, all along, planned to actually destroy the ship of the winner of the personal combat, because that race would represent the greater danger to them.

The name "Metron" is apparently a reference to an angel in Judaism named Metatron, which means "instrument of change" in Greek. The name of the planet, Cestus III, refers to gladiatorial combat. A cestus is a type of boxing glove, consisting of strips of iron wrapped in leather, which gladiators wore in the arena. The scenes on the planet surface were filmed at Vasquez Rocks, California, the same location used for "Shore Leave", "Friday's Child" and several other Star Trek productions. The area of Kirk's fight with the Gorn, in front of a jagged rock face known to fans as "Gorn Rock", was also seen in the film Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. The two main characters in that film also visited Vasquez Rocks, California. Furthermore, the diner in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is called the "Arena Diner", named after this episode since that particular scene in the film was also filmed in Vasquez Rocks. In the 1998 movie Free Enterprise, two of the characters goof around there in Trek-style costumes. The History Channel show, How William Shatner Changed the World saw Shatner return to Vasquez Rocks in a sports car and revisit some of the very rocks where he battled the Gorn. The fort set (Cestus III), retouched here with science-fiction trappings and location signs, can be seen in several early episodes of The Wild, Wild West, most prominently in the episode "The Night of the Sudden Plague." This set was directly adjacent to Vasquez Rocks. One report is that it was originally constructed for the film Beau Geste. According to Jerry L. Schneider's "Vasquez Rocks" web page on Movie Making Locations, the fort was built in the mid 1950s for the television show "Tales of the 77th Bengal Lancers" from Screen Gems, a Columbia Pictures subsidiary, erected at a cost of US$117,843.17. The set was torn down several years later, but the large vacant footprint it left behind can still be seen at Vasquez Rocks State Park today. A piece of crinkled "stone" wall from the prop department was matted in to hide a view of Vasquez Rocks that would have otherwise been seen in one very wide shot of the fort, since the Rocks were the setting for Kirk's coming battle on the asteroid. An identical translating device is seen later in "Metamorphosis". It seems logical that the Federation used the Metron technology to design their own, or at least one based on it. Wah Chang designed and built the Gorn suit; the costume it wore was designed by William Ware Theiss. Kirk dumps all of the materials for his primitive "cannon", including powders of potassium nitrate and sulfur, into his bamboo tube, but is somehow able to separate them out into neat piles when he's assembling the weapon. Cestus III was a globe of the Earth, printed backwards and tinted a hazy orange. In what might have been a nod by casting director Joe D'Agosta and writer Gene L. Coon, Vic Perrin's dialogue as the Metron has a few phrases that are quite similar to his "Control Voice" narration on The Outer Limits. The phaser control room reports that aft phasers are ready. This is the first time we are given evidence in dialogue that the Enterprise (and the Constitution-class ships in general) have aft weaponry. Harold, the outpost's only survivor, wears the recycled uniform worn by Commander Hansen in "Balance of Terror". The Enterprise's three double phaser bursts, which Sulu says constituted a full discharge of phaser banks, fire from an unusual location in this episode not from near the glowing dome at the bottom of the saucer, but from much higher up, closer to where Matt Jefferies originally located the main phaser banks in his early diagrams of the ship, which appeared as display diagrams in other episodes and also on the sides of the early AMT Star Trek model kits. Phasers prove ineffective against the Gorn ship, so Kirk gives the order to arm the photon torpedoes, marking the first naming of that weapon in the series. Sulu says they get off a full discharging of photon torpedo "banks" in this episode, which constitutes only two shots, and they are red globular discharges that fire from the glowing dome under the saucer. In a few explosion scenes, strange shadows can be seen between the blasts and the camera. It is possible that there were shields placed in front of the camera to protect it from the explosives and these were pulled away immediately afterward by the crew. A close examination of William Shatner's costume during the asteroid scenes in this episode reveals he is wearing flat-soled, laced boots rather than the regular leather versions worn by the cast. Possibly the change was made for safety reasons given the many scenes in which Shatner scrambles over rocky ground. Shatner also wears previously unseen white undergarments during the location segments on the asteroid. The longsleeved shirt can be viewed just under the cuff of Kirk's tunic when he's using the recorder-translator. The "long johns" can be seen above the boots when Kirk is crouched on a rock. Given that this segment was filmed in November, the undergarments could be thermal, or perhaps padding for the fight scenes. Both William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy currently suffer from tinnitus due to a special effects explosion on the set of this episode. DeForest Kelley reportedly suffered from tinnitus as well during the remainder of his life. By 2371, Human colonists were once again living on Cestus III, suggesting that the Federation and the Gorn Hegemony had put aside their differences after the events of this episode. (DS9: "Family Business") This is the first episode to establish the existence of a "Federation". The word was first used in "The Corbomite Maneuver" as First Federation, but this episode refers to the United Federation of Planets that was fully named later in "A Taste of Armageddon".

The closing credits use a different shot of Vina than was used for most of the first season episodes. Bobby Clark, one of the performers who played the part of the Gorn Captain, visited a Star Trek soundstage 38 years later for the filming of Captain Archer's fight with the Gorn Slar in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II". That episode was the first appearance of the Gorn in live-action Trek since "Arena." Filmation, who produced Star Trek: The Animated Series, went on to produce the hit cartoon He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983-85), which used many modified TAS character and set designs, a number of sound effects also utilized in both TOS and TAS, as well as having several Trek-similar story lines. The most notable of these is a second season episode called "The Arena", where a god-like entity forces He-Man and Skeletor to do battle, very similar to the Trek episode "Arena". In the DS9 episode "Trials and Tribble-ations", Captain Sisko admits to Jadzia Dax that he would love to meet Kirk and ask him about "fighting the Gorn on Cestus III..."

This episode was originally going to be the second part of a two part story that would have begun in "The Naked Time". According to a source claiming to have access to draft script, when Kirk ordered a hyperbolic course, he wanted the direction to be "Doesn't matter... the way we came... toward Earth." [1] This is why that story ends with a temporal displacement, and this story begins with one. The music played as Christopher observes the ears on Spock, heard in its entirety in "The City on the Edge of Forever", was written by composer Joseph Mullendore during his scoring for "The Conscience of the King", but it went unused at that time. It is an uptempo version of the closing theme for the show. Mullendore had also arranged the "lounge" version of the theme for the same episode, also heard in "Court Martial". Spock's explanation to Kirk about what could happen if an "unscruplous man" had knowledge of the future -which is what would have happened if Christopher had been immediately returned -- later coincidentally became the story premise for VOY: "Future's End" and to a lesser degree, TNG: "A Matter of Time". Matt Jefferies designed the trophy with the soaring jet aircraft, seen in the case on the air base. The radio news broadcast says that the manned Moon shot from Cape Kennedy with three astronauts is scheduled for Wednesday - the real Apollo 11 carrying three astronauts was launched from Cape Kennedy on 16 July 1969, a Wednesday. At the time this episode aired, some conservative estimates by NASA held that it would be well after 1970 before man landed on the moon. On the day after this episode was aired, Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee tragically lost their lives in the Apollo 1 capsule. The events of this episode, which take place in 1969, occurred (from the point of view from the Enterprise crew) over a year before those of "Assignment: Earth" which take place in 1968.

Footage of the Earth (going closer and further, inside the atmosphere) on the Enterprise viewscreen is reused from "Miri". Later in 1967, physicist John Wheeler would coin the term black hole to refer to the phenomenon Kirk describes as a black star. For some reason, in this episode "Starfleet Command" is consistently referred to as "Starfleet Control." Following Christopher's arrival on board the Enterprise, he is provided with a Starfleet uniform to wear. The uniform shirt is the green-gold command division color, consistent with his position as a pilot, and the rank braid on his sleeve is that of a lieutenant, equivalent to his USAF captain's rank (although he is credited as Major Christopher). This episode is the only one in which the food synthesizer in the transporter room is used. According to D.C. Fontana, budgetary restrictions precluded taking the Air Police sergeant to a dining facility or having another actor in the scene bring him food, so Kyle was employed to provide the sergeant's chicken soup from the dispenser.

Several episodes later, in "This Side of Paradise", Spock will smash his fist through one of the transporter room's food synthesizers. This episode is unique in that the last close-up is of George Takei. This is the last episode in which Spock's rank is stated as lieutenant commander. In Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, Robert Justman reprints a one-page story synopsis he submitted to Gene Roddenberry for possible consideration as an episode long before this episode was written. Almost beat for beat, Justman's proposed story is the same as this episode.

Background Information
This is the first episode in which the names "Starfleet" and "Starfleet Command" were used. This is also TOS's first trip to a Federation starbase. The dress uniforms debut in this episode. The first draft for this episode's script, titled "Court-martial on Starbase Eleven," was turned in on 21 September 1966, with the final draft and revised final draft turned in on 26 and 29 September, respectively. The episode was filmed during early October of that year. The "white sound device" is a very 20th-century microphone. Kirk's reference to amplification of sound "on the order of one to the fourth power" is odd. One to the fourth power is one. The line in the script is "one to the tenth power", also one. Spock takes all of the audible sounds from the ship and plays them back all at once amplified loud enough to make heartbeats uncomfortable to listen to, yet the voices of the people on the bridge are not booming over the speakers when they talk. When eliminating Spock's heartbeat from the total of all sounds on the ship, McCoy places the white sound device over his chest. Vulcan hearts, however, are located where a human's liver would be. Finney is clearly referred to as a lieutenant commander throughout the episode, but when he finally appears in engineering, he is wearing commander's braid. A 20th century wrench appears in the engineering room and Ben Finney uses it as a weapon. Kirk refers to the silver-haired officer at the bar as "Mike." Another character named "Corrigan" is sitting at a table nearby and nods coldly to Kirk. The credits refer to Corrigan as being played by Tom Curtis. Since it is a speaking role, it seems likely that Tom Curtis played "Mike." This actor supplied the voice of Captain Daily in "The Conscience of the King" and the voice of "Starbase Operations" in "The Menagerie, Part I". Other characters include "Teller," who's sitting at the table with Corrigan, and "Timothy," who tells Kirk that "Ben Finney was a friend of ours." The Starfleet crewmen and officers at the bar are seen wearing uniforms with the Enterprise arrowhead insignia, despite the fact that many (if not all) of them serve on other ships (this is made apparent in dialog -- Kirk has not seen Timothy since the "Vulcanian expedition"). Earlier in the series, we saw the crew of the Antares with an assignment patch for their ship in "Charlie X". In later episodes, the series officially established that each Starfleet ship would have its own unique insignia (as seen in "The Omega Glory", "The Doomsday Machine", and the twopart Star Trek: Enterprise episode, "In a Mirror, Darkly". "Star Trek" often portrayed very 1960s attitudes toward women, despite their presence as equals aboard starships. Areel Shaw is an exception she once loved Kirk, but doesn't let this get in the way of prosecuting him and ending his career in Starfleet. A similar scenario would play itself out between Captain Jean-Luc Picard and J.A.G. Captain Philippa Louvois in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Measure Of A Man." The changes made in the script make it less apparent as to why Jame Finney's attitude toward Kirk changes back to one of respect so quickly. In the script, she has been reading her father's old letters, and his attitude in them makes her believe that he might pull a stunt like this to get back at Kirk. In the shooting script, there was a scene (filmed but cut) where Jame Finney comes into the Engineering room at the end of Kirk and Finney's fight. The appearance of his daughter and his wish to save her are why Finney tells Kirk where he sabotaged the Enterprise.[1] The scene was presumably deleted because the episode was running long. However, the cut necessitated Kirk's voice-over log entry wherein he relates that a broken and sobbing Finney tells him about the sabotage. Commodore Stone is the highest-ranking person of color to appear in the original series. He also commanded a starship at one time. We get a look, for the only time in the series, at a series of registration numbers on the chart in Stone's office. Greg Jein associated them with ten names previously used in production memos which will later be assumed to be Constitution class starships, despite the numbers ranging lower than the USS Constitution. The wall chart disappears in a later scene in Stone's office. At the time of this episode, the Intrepid, the all-Vulcan starship, is being repaired at Starbase 11. It will later be destroyed by the space amoeba in "The Immunity Syndrome". The picture on the wall outside Stone's office appears to show the launch of an early NASA rocket. Also seen in Stone's office is the two-person transporter alcove. This will later be seen on Space Station K-7 in "The Trouble with Tribbles". Elisha Cook, Jr. had great difficulty remembering his lines. The speech of his character, Sam Cogley, had to be pieced together with editing. In addition to being a good defense attorney, Sam Cogley also provides a rousing defense of books in the face of modern technology, claiming he never uses the computer in his office. Some have criticized Cogley for being a fairly weak attorney, as he is ready to give up at one point, but as Kirk says, the evidence against him was damning.

"Court Martial" was the last episode in which the sound of the ship's engines could be heard during fly-bys. However, in the DVD releases, this sound has been added in for all of the rest of the episodes. The plants in Stone's office contain pieces of those seen in "The Conscience of the King" and would later be used for the Spores in "This Side of Paradise". Stock footage from "The Naked Time" is used on the viewscreen shots as the Enterprise re-establishes its orbit around Starbase 11. The starbase courtroom contains the large reflective Starfleet Command insignia that will appear behind all of the admirals the ship communicates with in future episodes. The courtroom computer gives Spock's rank as lieutenant commander, but he wears the braids of a commander. Such was Spock's uniform throughout the first season (except for "Where No Man Has Gone Before"), even though he was twice more referred to as lieutenant commander in "The Menagerie, Part I & II" and "Tomorrow is Yesterday." This rank discrepancy appears to have been corrected as of "Amok Time," when Vulcan Space Central asks for "Commander Spock." Although Kirk mentions that they're awaiting the arrival of the trial board, all of them were previously seen during the first scene at the bar, wearing their dress uniforms. This incongruity is the result of the reordering of scenes for the aired version. In the script, Act One begins in Stone's office with Stone's long line of questioning of Kirk, then the bar scene is next. The barkeep wears the same costume later worn by the K-7 bartender in "The Trouble with Tribbles". The back of the bar contains recycled pieces from the interior of Balok's ship. Areel Shaw sports the only female dress uniform in the series. It has gold braid on the cuffs as well as a Starfleet breast patch, which the male uniforms do not. The arm rest/sensor on the court room witness chair will later show up in the Enterprise briefing room in "Wolf in the Fold". James Doohan (Scotty) and George Takei (Sulu) do not appear in this episode. According to the non-canon reference book Star Trek Concordance, Commodore Stone's first and middle initials are "L.T."

Feb 9, 1967 * guion de Boris Sobelman * historia de Gene Roddenberry * dirigido por Joseph Pevney * musica de Alexander Courage * Fecha Estelar 3156.2: Sulu y otros tripulantes estn investigando de incognito a una cultura alienigena primitiva pero semejante a la del pasado de la Tierra, pero sus disfraces son descubiertos y acaban corriendo por sus vidas. La Enterprise no puede transportar a Sulu a tiempo y es alcanzado por un arma del planeta que le deja bajo el control de algo o alguien llamado Landru. Kirk y Spock se transportan a la superficie, encontrandose con la gente del planeta celebrando unos rituales extraos, y tambien descubren por medio de alguien del planeta que Landru tiene un control absoluto sobre la mayoria de las personas del planeta, excepto un pequeo movimiento de resistencia. Lo que empieza como un movimiento para la liberacin de la gente del planeta acaba en una cuestion de supervivencia cuando Kirk y Spock se convierten en presas de las "marionetas" de Landru. Blooper: En la escena de huda del festival, un plano rpido muestra una roca golpeando en la cabeza de los personajes y que luego sale despedida hacia el aire. (Eso es ser cabeza dura!). Background Information
Bobby Clark, who leaps through a window and then cries out "Festival! Festival!" has his only speaking role in the series in this episode. A frequent stunt performer on the series, he can also be seen as one of Chekov's vaporized henchmen in TOS: "Mirror, Mirror". Watch the preview of this episode for a totally different take on the scene with Sulu and O'Neil in the teaser. Sulu and O'Neil's anachronistic clothing (three cornered hats, etc.) is what gives them away as outsiders. Sulu blames sociologist Ensign Lindstrom for this error during the teaser. In the scene where Landru makes his first appearance, watch David L. Ross in the background. When the Landru image first manifests, Ross puts his hands up to his ears and quickly lowers them, apparently thinking for a few

seconds that the "take" was going to be of the hypersonic knocking everyone out. In another, he can be seen behind William Shatner, casually standing with Eddie Paskey, expressing no interest in Landru's appearance. Ross did not seem to know he was on camera at the time. There is an eerie shadow of a man attacking a woman projected onto one of the building walls during the evening portion of the Festival. The sound of the clock chimes in the town is different in the DVD version of this episode than on the old video cassettes. A small piece of Scott's dialogue is also missing; when he is declaring that the Enterprise will "burn up, one way or the other", the words "burn up" cannot be heard. Spock is seen sleeping with his eyes open in this episode. Just why Festival takes place, or how frequently it occurs, is never made entirely clear. According to the trivia section on the video release, "The Archons" was a club Gene Roddenberry belonged to at school. This episode has the only teaser to fade out with a close-up on George Takei. The first-act opening is also unique, featuring Kirk's log narration playing over three different shots of the Enterprise in orbit around Beta III. The absorption console that Marplon uses will later appear, with modifications, as Norman's relay station in "I, Mudd", a control panel on Memory Alpha in "The Lights of Zetar," the housing for the cloaking device in "The Enterprise Incident" and the Elba II force field control panel in "Whom Gods Destroy". The cell in this episode shows up later in TOS: "Errand of Mercy" and "Catspaw". The location for this episode strongly resembles Culver City. Since Desilu owned the Culver sets in the mid-60s, this could very well be where it was shot. This location is now part of Universal Studios. Christopher Held (Lindstrom) is beaned by a softball-sized prop rock while escaping the Festival-enraged crowd, but keeps running, so as not to ruin the take. Fans often misremember Mr. Leslie as the one hit. Amusingly enough, this is just after Held's character had been clobbered with a large piece of wood. When the landing party stuns the telepathically-controlled mob, several of the extras can be seen putting their hands out to break their falls. This episode marks the first of four times Kirk is able to "discuss a computer to death". He uses this skill again in "The Changeling", "I, Mudd", and "The Ultimate Computer".

Los habitantes de la nave, aunque intentan ocultar sus origenes, son los unicos opresores supervivientes de aquella guerra. Su lider, Khan, desea reanudar su reino de terror e intenta comenzarlo apoderandose de la Enterprise. Esta historia es la base de la pelicula "Star Trek II: La Ira de Khan". Blooper: Cuando Kirk destroza el atad de vidrio de Khan su phaser cae de su cinturn. McCoy lo mira esperando el grito de "Corte!", lo cual nunca sucede, ya que sera demasiado presupuesto construir otra estructura de vidrio. - Al final, cuando Kirk hace sonar la campana de la nave, miren detenidamente a McCoy: su cara est completamente tensionada, como si estuviera haciendo un gran esfuerzo para no romper en una carcajada. Cuando Kirk hace el ltimo sonido, McCoy suspira, como aliviado, y toma una expresin ms calmada. Background Information
The feature film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is a sequel to this episode. The Eugenics Wars, and the notion of genetically augmented humans, has also served as background for TAS: "The Infinite Vulcan" as well as several episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise - "Borderland", "Cold Station 12", and "The Augments".

John Arndt (Fields) was a regular extra; he also played unnamed crewmen in TOS: "Miri" and "Dagger of the Mind". When Arndt appeared in TOS: "Balance of Terror", his character was named Fields. His part seems to have been edited out of this episode. One questionable take from this episode occurs when the camera pans over the mostly unconscious bridge crew as Kirk records his captain's log with commendations for the fallen crew. There are seven visible people on the bridge, but seem to be eight in total (with the navigator, later seen in Khan's prisoner's row but not in the bridge sequence). From the beginning of the pan it shows Spock, Uhura, Brent (played by Frank da Vinci), Leslie (played by Eddie Paskey), a red-shirted extra (played by Ron Veto), Spinelli and then Kirk. Kirk reads off the names of only five crew members however: Uhura, Thule, Harrison, Spinelli and Spock. It seems that one reference is intended to be to the Eddie Paskey character, but that is unlikely since Kirk mentioned both with the rank "technician first class" and the Leslie uniform has lieutenant stripes. While it is odd that Leslie (and the unnamedin-this episode navigator who is sometimes referred to as Hadley) was skipped in the mentions, it leads to the conclusion that the red-shirted man was Harrison (or possibly Thule, who remains unseen, unless it was meant to refer to blue-shirted Brent). There are mentions of a female character named Baker in the briefing room scene, sometimes credited to Barbara Baldavin. Leslie is invited to attend the banquet with Khan. At the banquet, Kirk, Spock and McCoy are the only officers wearing dress uniforms. In a missed opportunity, Uhura could have worn the female dress uniform made for Areel Shaw in "Court Martial". The Botany Bay was later recycled as the ore freighter Woden in "The Ultimate Computer". Although only one hallway of the Botany Bay is seen in detail, the design crew took the time and effort to build the beginnings of several other corridors with their own life-support canisters, despite their only being seen for a few seconds. In the event that Leonard Nimoy had decided to leave the series in the second season, Blaisdell Makee was one of the actors on the list of possible replacements. In this episode, "The Menagerie, Part I", and "The Menagerie, Part II", we see the other end of the briefing room set a wall with a viewing screen was added in. Usually the room is only seen from the end nearest to the door. However, the rotating viewer, usually seen on the top of the table, is missing here. This is the only appearance by John Winston in which he has no dialogue, although in "Catspaw" he will only speak two words. George Takei (Sulu) does not appear in this episode. The superman hypoed by McGivers in sickbay will later be seen as a Klingon in the final planet scene in "Errand of Mercy". The identity of this extra is not known. Lieutenant McGivers wears no braid on the sleeves of her uniform. One of the instruments on the back wall of the Botany Bay eventually found its way to the Transporter Room, as a scanner (with an added viewer that was similar to the one on Spock's Science station) in the second season. The unique Engineering "clubs," one of which Kirk used to subdue Khan during their fight, were never used or even seen in another episode. In accepting exile to Ceti Alpha V, Khan references (and Kirk later clarifies) Satan's words from Book 1 of John Milton's Paradise Lost: "Here we may reign secure; and in my choice / To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell: / Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven" (261-63). Script vs. screen In writer Carey Wilber's original treatment, the Khan character is a Nordic superman named Harold Erricsen. According to StarTrek.com, an earlier version of the script had the SS Botany Bay as a CZ-100 class ship located by the USS Enterprise in the Coalsack. There are scenes in the Second Revised Final Draft, dated 13 December 1966, that were either unfilmed, or not aired: Lieutenant Marla McGivers has a scene with Yeoman Baker in which Baker informs her that Lieutenant Hanson wants to go to a ship's dance with her. McGivers tells her to tell Hanson to get lost, that she is waiting for a man who will "knock down my door and carry me to where he wants me." This same Yeoman Baker, as noted above, in the script, has a couple lines of dialogue as the court recorder at Khan's trial.

Kirk queda atrapado en el planeta, pero el Embajador Fox piensa que puede remediar la situacin y se transporta desarmado a la superficie a pesar de las advertencias de Scotty. Background Information
This episode includes the first use of the name "United Federation of Planets". "The Federation" had previously been mentioned in "Arena" but the organization's full name was first revealed in this episode.

However, Ambassador Fox refers to "Federation Central" at one point.

George Takei (Sulu) does not appear in this episode. Bantam Books published a series of novelizations called "foto-novels," which took photographic stills from actual episodes and arranged word balloons and text over them, to create a comic book formatted story. The fourth installment was an adaptation of this episode. The computer banks on Eminiar VII are also used in Starbase Operations in "The Menagerie, Part I" and aboard the shuttlecraft in The Immunity Syndrome. The necked viewscreens used on Eminiar VII are the same ones that appear on the ship in the two pilots, and in Mendez's office in "The Menagerie". For unknown reasons, the actor portraying Lt. Osborne is given no credit in any sources. He is often incorrectly noted as played by Frank da Vinci. The statue seen in Anan's room is so similar to the statue on Scalos in "Wink of an Eye" that people sometimes mistake it for the same statue. Another beautiful matte painting was created for this episode, unfortunately, it is the last painting in the series into which live actors are inserted. This matte of the Eminiar city would be re-used as the backdrop of Scalos in the third season episode, "Wink of an Eye". According to David Gerrold, the computer tallies of war dead in this episode was a statement about Vietnam War deaths that began to be registered on nightly newscasts in 1967. The sonic disruptors used in this episode would be slightly modified to become Klingon disruptors in "Errand of Mercy," and in other episodes featuring the Klingons ("Day of the Dove" and "Friday's Child"). The Romulans also used them in "The Enterprise Incident." The props' emitters were reworked for the Klingon/Romulan versions. The original Eminian emitters were reused on the large three-headed scanners used in Engineering, as seen in the episodes "The Doomsday Machine" and "The Ultimate Computer". Anan 7's sash seems to be the same material as the Klingon vest. The Eminian flip-top communicator was also re-used as a Klingon item. It became a Klingon communicator as seen in the episodes "Errand of Mercy" and "Elaan of Troyius". Many years after this episode, in 2003, a Star Wars comic featured a planet called Vendikar Station, which might be a reference to the Vendikar planet in this episode.

Bobby Bass, who tries to break up the fight between Kelowitz and the crewman played by Ron Veto, has his only lines of dialogue in the series here. Usually a stunt man on the series, he can also be seen as the guard Khan knocks into next week in "Space Seed", as one of Chekov's henchman in "Mirror, Mirror" and as a Klingon in "Errand of Mercy". The very spot where Leila and Spock discuss the dragons of Berengaria VII can be seen again in "Descent" of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It is in Bronson Canyon, near the famous Hollywood sign. The large open meadow seen in several sequences is in the Santa Ynez valley in southern California. It is the same spot where the hunt in the corn field took place in Planet of the Apes. It was also extensively used in the series Gunsmoke. The barn Kelowitz and Sulu investigate can be seen in several episodes of Kung Fu. In Jerry Sohl's original draft (first titled "Power Play," then "The Way of The Spores"), it was Lt. Sulu who was infected by the spores and was able to fall in love with Leila. Frank Overton died shortly after completing this episode, which was filmed in early January 1967. The food processors in the transporter room, placed there just so Lt. Kyle could provide chicken soup for the air sergeant in "Tomorrow is Yesterday", disappeared from the room by the end of the first season. In this episode, of course, an enraged Spock destroys one of them. The preview for this episode shows Leila and Spock by a stream. This didn't survive in the final cut of the episode. In the script, Kirk first spots Spock and Leila kissing passionately by the stream; there is no scene of Spock hanging off the tree limb. The buildings seen in the teaser, the first scene after and the scene in which DeSalle shows McCoy the Spores are at a different location than the buildings seen in the rest of the episode. One source says the green farm structures were located at the Disney Ranch. The empty shot of the bridge, before the turbolift opens to admit Kirk, was the best available piece of film for TNG: "Relics" to reuse as the holosimulation of the NCC-1701 bridge. The short snippet of film was "looped" several times and bluescreened in behind James Doohan and Patrick Stewart's scenes. Using the stock footage in this way eliminated the need to completely rebuild the bridge they only built a short section of the computer stations, the door alcove and the command stations for the TNG-era actors to sit at. The plant that sprays Kirk with spores on the bridge is the one he flung in anger after Uhura shorted out the communications console, however, in the wide bridge shots, there is no plant visible. In a blooper, Leonard Nimoy flubs his line about the plants acting as a repository for thousands of spores. Instead, he says the plants act as a "suppository." The crew cracks up, as does Nimoy, who caps the fun by putting a Tootsie pop in his mouth. Another blooper: During a log entry, Kirk incorrectly refers to the planet as merely "Omicron III". An episode of The Outer Limits ("Specimen Unknown") also had alien plants that shot spores, although they killed their victims. Wah Chang and Projects Unlimited created those plants and likely, Chang made the ones seen in this segment of Star Trek as well. James Doohan (Scotty) does not appear in this episode. This is the last episode in which Eddie Paskey delivers dialogue as Mr. Leslie. Admiral Komack is mentioned in this episode; we get to meet him in "Amok Time". According to Denise and Michael Okuda, the character was named for James Komack, director of "A Piece of the Action". Leonard Nimoy has related that Charles Bronson, then Jill Ireland's boyfriend and later her husband, was constantly on location, jealously watching his and Ireland's love scenes being filmed.

There is a piece of equipment attached to the left side of the transporter console. It seems to serve no purpose, other than for Spock to hit when he misses Kirk during their brief dust-up, and was only seen in this episode. The title comes from the old adage used to denote that a certain area is second only to Paradise (Heaven), i.e., "Southeastern Kentucky is the most beautiful spot this side of Paradise." It was also the title of F. Scott Fitzgerald's first published novel. Mystery Science Theater 3000 paid tribute to this episode during the opening host segment in episode 503, "Swamp Diamonds". Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo were obsessing over the scene where Spock does not want to go back to the ship. Crow was Spock, Tom was Leila, and Joel Robinson had to play Kirk angering Spock to make the 'bots snap out of it. In Stone Trek this episode was spoofed as the The Deadly Ears.

125. DEVIL IN THE DARK / El Diablo en la oscuridad. Mar 9, 1967 * escrito por Gene L. Coon * dirigido por Joseph Pevney * msica de Alexander Courage * Fecha Estelar 3196.1: Una colonia minera informa de unas misteriosas muertes justo despus de que logran acceder a unos niveles inferiores de un planetoide que se crea inhabitado. La Enterprise llega, y Kirk, Spock y oficiales de seguridad de la nave empiezan la caza para encontrar al responsable o la causa del creciente nmero de cadveres. Una criatura amorfa capaz de fundir las rocas del planetoide es encontrada como la causante de las muertes as como del sabotaje realizado en los sistemas de soporte vital de los mineros. A travs de una fusin mental, Spock se comunica con el ser, conocida como la Horta, y descubre que es la ltima de su especie, una madre que va poniendo huevos en las cuevas y tneles construidos por ella misma. Pero los humanos han estado descubriendo y destruyendo los huevos, y la Horta es incapaz de negociar con los mineros, por lo que un grupo o el otro se enfrenta a su extincin. Background Information
Barry Russo would go on to portray Commodore Robert Wesley in "The Ultimate Computer". Creature shop specialist Prohaska previously portrayed the Talosian menagerie animals in "The Cage", and would go on as the mugato in "A Private Little War" and Yarnek in "The Savage Curtain". William Shatner has identified this as his favorite episode, because his father died during filming and Nimoy's delivery of the mind meld lines made him laugh. Shatner insisted on finishing his dialogue scenes and after he left for the funeral, a stand-in completed his shots with Spock and the Horta, filmed from behind. When the scenes were later edited together, in several sequences, Shatner has his phaser up and the stand-in does not. A portion of a Horta tunnel will be seen in "Patterns of Force" as the entrance to the Underground's underground. Bantam Books published a series of novelizations called "foto-novels," which took photographic stills from actual episodes and arranged word balloons and text over them, to create a comic book formatted story. The ninth installment was an adaptation of this episode. In it, Leslie is depicted as thinking to himself, "That Vulcan would have us killed for his precious science!" after Spock urges the security detail to capture the Horta. Recycled Horta eggs would later be used in the re-designed Engineering set in the second season. The unbroken Horta eggs were toy bouncing balls painted gold. The reactor for the colony is the same piece of equipment in Engineering that Kirk's double phasered in "The Enemy Within". George Takei (Sulu) and Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) do not appear in this episode. Janos Prohaska, the creator of the Horta costume, actually wore it into producer Gene L. Coon's office, as if to say "Look what I designed". Gene was so impressed by it, he was inspired to write this episode so it could be used. The oversized microbe from the final episode of the 1960's version of The Outer Limits (titled "The Probe", with Peter Mark Richman) was the basis for the Horta. It was also designed by Janos Prohaska. The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novel "Devil in the Sky" is a sequel of sorts to this episode. This episode marks the first (and only), time an episode of TOS began without the Enterprise or its crew being involved in the teaser scenes before the main credits. It is also the only episode in which the distinction is drawn between "phaser one" and "phaser two." The 2001 WildStorm Comics comic "Star Trek: Special" featured a short story of the Borg attacking Janus IV. Although Davis Roberts is credited with playing security guard Lewis, this cannot be the same Davis Roberts from "The Empath". Roberts was already in his 50s when he appeared in that episode the man in "The Devil in the Dark" is considerably younger.

Coon * dirigido por John Newland * msica de Alexander Courage * Fecha Estelar 3198.4: Un ataque sorpresa por parte de los Klingons en un sector neutral vulnerable, un lugar de gran importancia estratgica, pone a la Enterprise en alerta roja, al mismo tiempo que la amenaza de una catastrfica guerra entre el Imperio Klingon y la Federacin acecha. Kirk y Spock se transportan a Organia, el planeta cuya seguridad est en peligro debido a la amenaza de los Klingos, y descubre que los habitantes, que

parecen ser humanos que han alcanzado el perodo medieval de desarrollo sociolgico y tecnolgico, no son del todo conscientes de que su mundo est siendo ocupado por las tropas Klingon. Kirk y Spock intentan ocultar sus identidades, pero fracasan, dejando a Kirk y al capitn klingon Kor frente a frente, hasta que los Organianos revelan su verdadera naturaleza e intervienen en la guerra que se avecina. Este episodio introduce a los Klingons en "Star Trek". John Colicos hizo otra aparicin en el papel de Kor en el episodio de 1994 de Deep Space Nine "Blood Oath". Background Information
This episode marks the very first appearance of the Klingons. Kor was to appear in "Day of the Dove" and "The Trouble with Tribbles", but John Colicos was unavailable and other Klingon characters were written in. A script was written for Kor for the fourth season, but the show was canceled after the third season, and he never got his chance to appear again (although, Kor did appear in TAS: "The Time Trap", but was voiced by James Doohan). Colicos was also the person who gave the Klingons their dark-skinned, mustached look. He said he was going for the Genghis Khan look. He did eventually reprise his role in DS9: "Blood Oath", "The Sword of Kahless", and "Once More Unto the Breach". Reportedly, the baldric that Kor wore was reused for Worf during TNG's first season. Certainly it closely resembles the one worn by Kang in "Day of the Dove". When it was exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution as part of a Star Trek retrospective in the 1990s, the material could clearly be seen to be burlap sacking, painted gold. The same exhibit showed that the buckles of the Klingon belts were pieces of bubble pack, with the bubbles painted silver to resemble metal studs. Ayelborne mentions that in the future, the Federation and the Klingons would be friends and work together, both of which become true. This is one of only two episodes that show an actual Klingon flip-top communicator, which is similar to, but smaller than, the Starfleet version (watch when Kor contacts his fleet). The other episode is "Elaan of Troyius". The communicator was recycled from the Eminian version from "A Taste of Armageddon". Also recycled and reworked from "A Taste of Armageddon" are the sonic disruptor pistols, first used here by the Klingons and later by the Romulans. The main gate to the Organian village, where Ayelborne greets Kirk and Spock, should look familiar it is the gate to the Rigel VII castle in "The Cage". The stairs on which Spock and Kirk phaser the Klingon guards are the same set where Christopher Pike battled the Kaylar in the original pilot. Portions of the Organian village set are also visible in "A Private Little War" and "The Omega Glory". The shot of Enterprise hit by magnetic pulses was a stock shot of energy bolts hitting the ship, the corresponding live-action sequences used a buzzing electric effects theme that would be reused for the Klingon Bird-of-Prey firing effect in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. The shot of Enterprise firing was also a reuse, this time the white bolts shot out of the ship are said to be phasers, even though in other appearances the same effect represents photon torpedoes. David Hughes can be seen in several sequences reciting the dialogue along with the other actors, trying not to miss his "cue." Oddly enough, this works perfectly since his character, Trefayne, could predict the future. The boxes in the Klingon munitions dump were simply spray-painted corrugated cardboard containers. DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy) and James Doohan (Scotty) do not appear in this episode. Along with "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" and "The Menagerie, Part II", this is one of only three episodes after the two pilots in which Kelley does not appear. This was also McCoy's last non-appearance in TOS. This is the last episode in which the term "Vulcanian" is used to refer to Vulcans. Despite his saying so at several conventions, Vic Lundin is not the first Klingon seen entering the Organian Chambers ahead of Kor. A close look at the scene on DVD reveals that indeed two Klingons enter before Kor, but neither of them is Lundin. Besides the first Klingons seen in this episode were the ones marching in the courtyard just before Kor's entrance scene. In the script, the Klingons were described simply as "Oriental, hard-faced." In the script, the Organian village was modeled on old English villages, with thatched huts, muddy back alleys, etc. Spock's uttering of "pure energy" to describe the true nature of the Organians is used in the Information Society's song, "What's On Your Mind". The episode title comes from The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens: "It is an errand of mercy which brings me here. Pray, let me discharge it." The Stargate SG-1 episode "The Nox", guest-starring Armin Shimerman, had a plot very close to this episode's. It featured the protagonists trying to protect a seemingly weak and primitive society from ruthless invaders, only to have these aliens refuse to take any sides by protecting both camps from each other. It similarly ends with the aliens revealing that they are much more powerful than they seem, and that they were in no real danger at any point.

A comic book published by IDW Comics in April 2007, "Against Their Nature", told this story from the Klingon point of view.

Lzaro demuestra ser una amenaza para la seguridad de la Enterprise, y el incremento de la frecuencia de las turbulencias parecen confirmar la historia de que Lzaro tiene un poderoso enemigo en otra dimensin. Background Information
Part of the dilithium energizer panel uses the same controls as the neural neutralizer from "Dagger of the Mind". The dome of Lazarus' time ship is later reused to encase the Providers in "The Gamesters of Triskelion". This is the second time that we see Lieutenant Leslie in the command chair in TOS Season 1 odd, since he was outranked by the lieutenant commander serving as navigator. It is also the first episode in which Eddie Paskey is featured (as "Lesley") in the ending credits. Usage of the terms "matter" and "antimatter" in this episode is inconsistent with its usage elsewhere in the series. For example, Kirk travels to an antimatter universe, where he should explode, yet he does not. Yet if Lazarus and anti-Lazarus meet, both universes will be entirely destroyed, which is also inconsistent. Antimatter, as used in other episodes, is more or less consistent with what physics predicts its properties to be; in this episode, the term is used strangely, and probably incorrectly. The visual of the iron-silica planet from orbit is reused footage previously representing Alfa 177 in "The Enemy Within" and M-113 in "The Man Trap". This planet effect was reused again as Argus X in "Obsession" and Ardana in "The Cloud Minders". John Drew Barrymore (father of actress Drew Barrymore) was originally contracted to play Lazarus, but didn't show up to work. The grievance filed against him on this account by the Star Trek production team led to him being unable to find acting work for a number of years after. Robert Brown was a last-minute replacement. These last-minute changes account for many of the problems with this episode. Studio bigwigs also axed an interracial entanglement between Charlene Masters and Lazarus that had to be filled with other footage, which might be the reason for all of the repetitive running around and falling off cliffs that occurs on the planet's surface. Another indication of the episode's haphazard narrative is the reference to Starbase 200. In The Making of Star Trek, it is established that there are only seventeen starbases. However, this number is also violated in "This Side of Paradise", in which the colonists are to be removed to Starbase 27. Lazarus' beard goes from very full to almost nonexistent depending on the scene. This may have been due to insufficient time to touch up his make-up. Lieutenant Masters wears no braid on the sleeves of her uniform, and as she works in engineering, her uniform should be red, not blue. For some reason, the standing engineering set is not used in this episode. When Lazarus attempts to sabotage engineering, he does so to an entirely new set possibly a redress of an existing set. The shot of the Enterprise destroying Lazarus's ship is unique on three counts. First, it is the only time we see the Enterprise from behind as it fires phasers. Second, it is the only time that the ship fires a single beam (as opposed to the usual two). Finally, it is the only time that the phasers make no noise at least when the beam is seen in space. There is no officer played by Larry Riddle as noted in the Star Trek Concordance. According to the script, Officer Larry Riddle is a character in an earlier draft that was later dropped. The footage of the two Lazaruses fighting was created by filming two stuntmen fighting in a smoke-filled room with orange and purple walls, then double-exposing its color negative footage over an astronomical photograph of the Trifid Nebula.

James Doohan (Scotty) and George Takei (Sulu) do not appear in this episode. The absence of Scotty is exceptionally strange, and almost qualifies as a plot error, given that Lazarus is attacking engineering crewmembers, setting off fires in engineering spaces, and stealing power crystals. Richard Derr, who plays Commodore Barstow in this episode, later played Admiral Fitzgerald in the episode "The Mark of Gideon".

Sin embargo, este tipo de contenedores deberan haber desaparecido hace tiempo. Background Information
Cast Though uncredited, the yeoman at the beginning of this episode looks like Maurishka Taliaferro, who appears in the next episode, "Operation -- Annihilate!", as Yeoman Zahra Jamal. Because she's not in the next shots of the bridge, we can assume that her appearance is stock footage from that episode (which was filmed later, but was in post-production at the same time as this one). The set used for New York City in this episode (called "Forty Acres") is the same set used for The Andy Griffith Show. If you look closely while Kirk is walking with Edith Keeler, you can see them pass the courthouse and Floyd's barber shop. Watch for Scott, McCoy and one of the security officers looking for their transporter positions at the end of the episode when the crew are beamed back aboard the Enterprise. The alley in which Kirk steals the clothing from the fire-escape is the same alley seen in "Miri", in which Spock and the guards have debris dumped on them by the children. The footage seen through the time portal is, for the most part, lifted from old Paramount films. When Dr. McCoy falls against the railing on the Enterprise bridge he breaks it. Actor Deforest Kelley attempts to cover this up with his hand. Due to copyright issues, the original recording of Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight was replaced during the 80s by another version for VHS and Laserdisc releases. Eventually this was corrected for the DVD release. New music was also composed for this episode, incorporating the song, but the composer of this music is not credited. In the scene when the Rodent is stealing the milk, music from "Mudd's Women" is heard. An ominous, discordant piano note is added to the music to make it even more sinister. There's an oft-overlooked continuity error in Act I. As the Enterprise is going through the 'ripples in time,' Kirk steps to the upper level of the bridge to join Spock at his station. When the helm short-circuits, the next shot is of Kirk standing back down at his command chair, calling McCoy to the bridge for a medical emergency. Much of the dialog in the scene where Kirk and Spock encounter the police officer is looped due to the outdoor location. Strangely, the dialog of the police officer is used exactly as it was filmed, including the background noise, giving the scene a clunky feel.

Sets and props

Story and production

The Guardian of Forever claims it is its own beginning, its own ending. But when asked by Kirk if it can alter the speed at which time passes in the portal, the Guardian says it was "made" to offer the past in this way and that it cannot change. There seems to be a contradiction in logic: A machine/entity capable of self-creation (its own beginning), yet unable to change itself. The ability to create itself does not imply the ability to change itself. Indeed, the Guardian would have to be "unchangeable" to circumvent the paradox of an altered timeline affecting the source of its own alteration. A second, seemingly contradictory statement can also be noted in exact same pairs of sentences, where the Guardian's claims to either self-creation or self-existence is afterwards met by its claim of having been "...made to offer the past in this manner," and thus unable to change, thereby implicative of an outside and/or older creative source. The effects team nicknamed the Guardian "the big donut." Edith Keeler's last name is laden with significance. In the Star Trek Compendium, Allen Asherman suggests that it is derived from the "keel" of a ship, the longitudinal element of a vessel that keeps it held together--much as Keeler herself keeps the time continuum from coming apart. Well-documented by fans is the fact that Clark Gable was by no means a leading man in 1930. We could take 1930 as a round figure, but for the fact that Kirk says 1936 is "six years from now." (The final shooting draft of this script has Edith reference "a Richard Dix movie") The stock footage used in this episode was well-selected; nevertheless, there are two anachronisms visible in the stock shot representing Kirk and Spocks' flat: a nuclear fallout shelter sign on a wall and a lady wearing 1960s horn-rim glasses. Another stock footage shot, although periodically correct, shows people in summer clothes, while the rest of the episode is set in a cold, winter (or late fall) period. No stardate is logged in the episode. Bjo Trimble assigned a stardate of 3134 based on Harlan Ellison's original teleplay, which covered stardates 3134.6-8. The title of this episode refers to both the dead city on the time planet and New York itself, where the timeline will either be restored or disrupted. In Ellison's original script, Kirk, upon first seeing the city sparkling like a jewel on a high mountaintop, reverently says it looks like "a city on the edge of forever". Only two lines from Ellison's original teleplay survive in the final episode, both spoken by the Guardian: "Since before your sun burned hot in space, since before your race was born," and "Time has resumed its shape." In the scene where Kirk and Spock first encounter the Guardian, there is a sliver of dialog that seems out of place. As Spock is sharing his observations of the Guardian, Kirk says, "That's funny," a line that begs for an additional bit of explanatory dialog but was evidently clipped in editing. (Alternately, Kirk could be responding to Spock's previous line, wherein he indicates that he's at a loss to explain how the Guardian operates. For Spock not to have an explanation for something would indeed be odd, at least to Kirk.) In Ellison's first treatment for this episode, Edith's last name was Koestler. The city they traveled back in time to was Chicago. Edith Keeler tells Kirk "Let me help". Kirk replies, "A hundred years or so from now, a famous novelist will write a classic using that theme. He'll recommend those three words, even over 'I love you'". Kirk tells her that the novelist will come from a planet circling the far left star in Orion's belt. Actually, Zeta Orionis (or Alnitak) is a trinary star system. James Doohan can be seen rubbing his neck after McCoy leaps into the portal, yet McCoy never struck Scotty in his escape. Scotty has been shown in other episodes rubbing his neck as a reaction to nervousness, apprehension, worry, aggravation, or consternation. When Kirk looks up at the stars at the end of Act One, an overlay effect allows us to shift from the planet set to a starscape, similar to the ending of each episode of The Twilight Zone. For unknown reasons, just before the scene fades out, the stars jump and change to a different pattern. Some excellent double-exposures allow our heroes to leap out of brick walls in this episode. Seven people are beamed up to the ship at the end, but the transporter has only six pads. In "Day of the Dove" a much larger group is dematerialized at the same time, but some are held in transit. Stock footage from "Dagger of the Mind" is used for Kirk's and Spock's reaction shots to McCoy's cordrazine overdose on the bridge. During the speech scene in the Mission where Kirk and Spock have sat down with their soup, the director repeated (and slowed down) several close-up shots of Spock and Kirk, taken from later in the scene, and used them as reaction shots during Edith's prognostications. The close up of the tricorder showing the 'rewinding video' is used several other times throughout the series.

Effects

Apocrypha In James Blish's adaptation of this episode, during Edith's soup-kitchen prophecies, Spock leans over to Kirk and says, "Bonner the Stochastic," to which Kirk replies, "He won't be born for a hundred years yet." Bonner the Stochastic was a character who appeared in several of Blish's novels, and was inserted into this episode's prose adaptation by Blish himself. Stochastic refers to any process (including thinking) that uses randomness or conjecture. Fan fiction writers such as Claire Gabriel sometimes designate Bonner as the Orion novelist who came up with "Let me help". The final shooting script, dated 27 January 1967, specifies that the novelist's name is Patrick Koluuunahmeheheh Tajnaahme. A sequel to this story was presented in Gold Key Comics' TOS issue #56 "No Time Like the Past". By popular acclaim, this is the single best episode of the original series (TOS), earning a 1968 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation (and the other four nominees were all episodes of Star Trek). It would be 25 years before another television program received the honor (TNG's "The Inner Light"). TV Guide also ranked it #68 in their 100 Most Memorable Moments in TV History feature in the 1 July 1995 edition, and also featured it in another issue on the 100 greatest TV episodes of all time. The portal is revisited in the animated series episode "Yesteryear" and numerous books. Harlan Ellison was dismayed with the changes Gene Roddenberry and D.C. Fontana made to his story (which included, among other things, a drug addicted Enterprise crewman) so much so, that he wished his credit to read "written by Cordwainer Bird," a request Roddenberry denied. Though Ellison had the final right to have his pseudonym attached, he claims that Roddenberry made veiled threats to the effect that if he did so he would "never work in this town again." In his adaptation of the story in Star Trek 2, James Blish explained to readers that he tried to preserve the best elements of both Ellison's original script and the final version. In the original, because Kirk does not act to prevent Edith's death, Spock later tells him that "No other woman was ever offered the universe for love." Blish's adaptation preserves the final version of Kirk allowing Edith to die, with the result that Spock tells him, "No other woman was ever almost offered the universe for love"--a far less poetic observation. In interviews, Ellison has expressed annoyance with Joan Collins' mis-remembrance of the role she played. While he intended Edith to be a sort of secular version of Aimee Semple MacPherson, Collins persists in referring to her role in this episode as "Hitler's girlfriend", an apparent reference to the fact that if Edith had lived, it would have benefited Hitler's Germany. Bantam Books published a series of novelizations called "foto-novels," which took photographic stills from actual episodes and arranged word balloons and text over them, to create a comic book formatted story. The first installment was an adaptation of this episode. In 1991, two months before his death, Gene Roddenberry counted this as one of his top ten favorite episodes. This is the first mention of Nazi Germany in Star Trek. A race which adopted a Nazi style regime also appear in TOS: "Patterns of Force". The theme is reprised in later shows: on VOY: "The Killing Game", where Hirogen take over Voyager and use the holodeck to recreate Nazi Germany, and then in ENT: "Zero Hour", and "Storm Front", when agents from the Temporal Cold War send Captain Archer and the Enterprise NX-01 back to the Second World War. The 2006 "Crucible" trilogy of novels follows up on plot elements from this episode. An episode of South Park, in which one of the children on a trapped schoolbus wore a red commander uniform was killed, was given the same title as this episode.

This was the last episode of the first season of TOS. It is also the only episode with an exclamation point in the title. The 1989 movie Star Trek V: The Final Frontier angered some Trek fans when Kirk, toward the end of the film, states: "I lost a brother once. But I was lucky I got him back." This was an obvious nod to Spock, not to Sam, and some fans felt Shatner didn't even remember the storyline of the series (Shatner directed and co-wrote the story for STV). Still, others argued that Kirk was simply referencing the fact that Spock was indeed one of his 'two' brothers, and it was Spock who was 'resurrected.' Nevertheless, some fans believe that it may have been more appropriate if, in the film, he said something to the effect of "I lost both my brothers. But I got one back." On the other hand, in "Whom Gods Destroy," Kirk clearly says that he and Mr. Spock are brothersand Spock agrees with him. A filmed scene cut from this episode featured dialogue between Kirk and his nephew. The boy was seated in the captain's chair, discussing his coming return to Earth to live with relatives. A small Starfleet uniform was made for Craig Hundley for this scene, which unfortunately ended up on the editing room floor (the film, not the uniform). This episode features the Enterprise not only going to warp 8 while in a star system, but on a course directly for the system's sun. The portion of the scene indicating that the outer hull was at over 1000 degrees was in error, as a ship traveling at warp 8, close enough to have that hull temperature, and heading directly at a star, would have collided with the star in far less time than is shown on screen. It is doubtful, if the hull temperature had increased any appreciable amount due to the star's radiation, that there would be time to avoid a collision with the star. It is mentioned that there are 14 science labs aboard Enterprise. A 1960s medical reference creeps into the storyline when McCoy speaks about "getting the plates back" on Kirk's nephew to help with his medical treatment. This line references X-ray plates which were common in the 1960s but, in the 2260s, would have been extremely archaic and impractical compared to other medical advances of the time (such as DNA examination). The Vulcan inner eyelid is mentioned again in ENT: "The Forge". Deneva, as seen from space, is one of the more unique planets Westheimer Effects Company created for the original series, only appearing in this color scheme in this episode. This planet is reused countless times in the second and third seasons, usually for Earth-like planets (like Capella IV, Ekos or 892-IV). Also, two colorenhanced versions of this planet appear in TOS: a reddish one (also in the second/third season opening credits and as planet Vulcan) and a purple one (Halkan planet, Omega IV, etc.). The starmap showing the progression of the space madness also shows up on station viewscreens in future episodes. Stock footage of Mr. Leslie's hands from "The Alternative Factor" is used to represent the personnel in the satellite control room. It is a bit illogical that Kirk gets so angry at McCoy for Spock's blindness. It was Kirk, after all, who was pushing for an immediate test to drive the creature from Spock's body. William Blackburn, an extra on the show from "The Corbomite Maneuver" through the end of season three, can be seen in the background in at least three different uniforms in this show. Wah Chang designed and constructed the parasite creatures. In the Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual, it is called a "blastoneuron." There is a very amusing blooper from this episode in the first season blooper reel. The "parasite creature" that was supposed to hit Leonard Nimoy's back is seen hitting his backside instead, making Mr. Nimoy break up with laughter. Also appearing in the blooper reel from the first season is a sequence showing the landing party with their phasers being used in tandem as shavers. In the second season blooper reel, Gene Roddenberry is seen at the top of the stairs used in this episode, while dialogue from "Patterns of Force" recites, "Hail to the Fuhrer." This is the first time McCoy's lab is seen. Different components of sickbay were added over the first season, such as the decompression chamber seen in "Space Seed." McCoy's lab contains one of the life-support canisters used on the Botany Bay. The fly-by of the Enterprise that opens this episode will only be seen one other time. It is re-used in "The Tholian Web" as the ship is thrown clear of the Tholian force field. No stars are used in that view, of course. William Shatner "played" the body of his dead brother.

Light and heat are forms of radiation. There is a little contradiction in saying that radiation did not affect the neural parasites.

Segunda Temporada (1967-1968)

201. AMOK TIME / La epoca de Amok. Sep 15, 1967 * escrito por Theodore Sturgeon * dirigido por Joseph Pevney * msica de Gerald Fried (Crescendo GNP cassette & CD GNPD 8025) * Fecha Estelar 3372.7: Spock comienza a actuar de manera extraa, incluso de forma violenta, debido a, aunque el resto de la tripulacin lo desconozca, que ha entrado en la fase vulcaniana de apareamiento que afecta a todos los vulcanianos masculinos cada siete aos. Kirk debe desviar a la Enterprise de su ruta para llevar a Spock a Vulcano donde su ritual de apareamiento se tiene que llevar a cabo. Pero al llegar, se enteran de que Spock debe competir con un gladiador elegido por su compaera asignada, y resulta ser, para sorpresa de todos, el mismo Kirk. Background Information
This episode marked the first use of the Vulcan salute (an unscripted improvisation by Leonard Nimoy), and the words "Live long and prosper" said by T'Pau. The salute, incidentally, is actually a handsign done with both hands by the rabbis of the Hebrew Tribes when the congregation of a Jewish synagogue is being blessed with the "May the Lord bless you and keep you" prayer. Nimoy remembered it from his childhood and suggested it to the show's director. Lawrence Montaigne, who played Stonn in this episode, and Mark Lenard were both being considered as possible replacements for Lenard Nimoy prior to the beginning of the second season if contract negotiations had fallen through. Nimoy's agent had ask for Nimoy's salary to be increased from $1250 per episode during the first season to $9000 for the second season. Eventually a compromise figure of $2500 per episode was reached and Nimoy signed on for the second season. Celia Lovsky couldn't actually do the Vulcan salute naturally, so she had to use her other hand to put her fingers in the right pattern below camera, then hold it up at the right moment. Bantam Books published a series of novelizations called "foto-novels," which took photographic stills from actual episodes and arranged word balloons and text over them, to create a comic book formatted story. The twelfth and final installment was an adaptation of this episode. In an extremely touching moment, as Spock tells Kirk that male Vulcans are accompanied to pon farr by their closest friends, he asks that McCoy come along. This is a wonderful acknowledgment by Spock that McCoy is indeed a good friend. In his honored response, McCoy calls Spock "sir" for the only time in the series. Another such moment is after Spock tells Kirk everything about the pon farr, and hangs his head after revealing so much that is extremely personal for him. Before telling Spock he will get him to Vulcan somehow, Kirk instinctively reaches to comfort his friend, but pulls back, realizing Spock could not accept such a gesture. Curiously, the purple stain left on the wall outside Spock's quarters when he flings the plomeek soup remained on that wall for the next two seasons. Whenever the crew quarters set is used, whether for Kirk, Spock or another character, watch for the stain through the doorway. Something very curious about this episode is that when McCoy emerges from the doorway in the first scene, there is no elevator set inside. The elevator is accessed from a side doorway for this episode. This was probably done in advance of the next episode filmed, "The Doomsday Machine", to show the wrecked condition of Matt Decker's starship. When the landing party beams onto the Constellation, the door is open at the end of this same corridor and no turbolift is inside. In "The Ultimate Computer", a turbolift is located right outside sickbay and the one at the corridor terminus is not utilized. Set drawings indicate the doorway at the end of that corridor did not regularly contain an elevator, however. A change in this season is thick painted stripes across the corridor floors. On the sister ship USS Defiant, as seen in ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II", it was revealed that these stripes delineated various features like the edges of grav plates. Originally, they may also have been meant to mark areas on the stage where walls were to intersect, or maybe as decorations. Sickbay is on Deck 5, established by dialog. The sickbay of the USS Voyager is also on deck 5.

This is the first episode of the second season to offer us a look at the further-expanded sickbay that now includes McCoy's new office. In "The Deadly Years" we will see the addition of more beds in the infirmary section of the sickbay. This is the first time Spock's quarters are seen fully. A very brief shot of his quarters is seen in "The Menagerie, Part I", with a tricorder and red glass statue seen behind him to make the room look different from the Kirk's quarters set. Here, a large statue with blinking lights, red curtains and objects resembling molecular models are seen, among other "Spockian" decor. For some reason, when Spock pounds his viewscreen into oblivion, there is no glass shattering heard (Kirk's evil self destroyed a viewscreen in "The Enemy Within" and breaking glass resulted). During the plak tow sequence, Leonard Nimoy, not realizing he is on film, can be seen lounging casually in the background. In the next scene, he is back to his "blood fever" pose. Gerald Fried composed some of the most memorable music in the series for "Amok Time". The fight music was reused in many episodes throughout the second season. The distinctive Spock theme was played by bassist Barney Kessel. Romulan helmets are reused from "Balance of Terror", this time worn by Vulcans during the pon farr ritual. James Doohan (Scotty) does not appear in this episode, though he's mentioned by Spock. Kirk at one point says to Spock, "You have been called the best first officer in the fleet." It was McCoy who said this, in "Operation -- Annihilate!" In the original script, there were a few more Vulcan words. Spock described Kirk and McCoy as his lak noy, the equivalent of best man. When T'Pring makes her challenge, the wedding party begins to discuss what's going on, all in Vulcan, until T'Pau shuts them up. Mary Rice was photographed as a young T'Pring on 16 June 1967 during the filming of the episode. This episode was nominated for Hugo Awards in 1968 as "Best Dramatic Presentation". Although this was the second season premiere, and the first time the character of Chekov was publicly seen, this was the last episode filmed in which Walter Koenig wore a wig, while his real hair grew out. This episode is referenced in the Stargate SG-1 episode "Babylon". In that episode, Colonel Mitchell is given an herb to make him appear dead by a Sodan named Jolan. Upon waking up and finding out that it worked, Mitchell says "Well done Bones." Spock has definitely been promoted from lieutenant commander as of this episode. Outside his quarters, you can clearly see that the nameplate reads "Commander Spock." In addition, Vulcan Space Central later asks for him as "Commander Spock." It may be interesting that in the German version of this episode the broadcasting station ZDF changed the dialogues and cut several scenes to prevent talking about sexual issues. In the German dubbing Pon Farr is a disease Spock is suffering from (called "Weltraumfieber", meaning "space fever") and parts of the episode (such as Spock killing Kirk) are explained away as being simply a nightmare that he has being ill with fever. This nightmare is caused by an experimental medication Spock is given by McCoy. Therefore the Enterprise did not even visit Vulcan in the German version of the episode, as Spock is just fantasizing about it.

WHO MOURNS FOR ADONAIS? / Quien llora a Adonis? Sep 22, 1967 * escrito por Gilbert Ralston * dirigido por Marc Daniels * msica de Fred Steiner * Fecha Estelar 3468.1: La Enterprise es atrapada en espacio profundo por una mano gigantesca. Kirk y un grupo de salida se transportan a un planeta cercano y encuentran a un ser muy poderoso que afirma ser el dios griego Apolo y ser el responsable de mantener a la Enterprise en su actual situacin, y Kirk descubre que la habilidad de Apolo para inmovilizar una nave estelar es slo una pequea demostracin del poder de este ser. Cuando Apolo exige que la tripulacin se quede con l, Kirk decide que la mtica figura debe de ser derrotada, pero deben hacerlo jugando con las emociones de Apolo y sus puntos dbiles ya que el ser puede anular la tecnologa de la Enterprise.

Background Information
The title is taken from Adonais: An Elegy on the Death of John Keats by Percy Bysshe Shelley. Line 415 starts with "Who mourns for Adonais?". Another one of its lines reads, "O, weep for Adonais. He is dead." Adonai is a Hebrew name for God. This is the only time in TOS that a star is both referred to as its Bayer designation and ancient name, specifically Geminorum / Pollux. In the trailer, the phasers fired by the Enterprise at the temple are blue. In the episode itself, they are red. Fred Steiner's powerful score for this episode was re-used many times in subsequent episodes, with the exception, however, of the music played by the horn as Kirk philosophizes with Carolyn Palamas. The destruction of Apollo's temple, combined with Fred Steiner's incredible music score, is a very impressive special effects sequence, closely mirrored by a much less interesting phaser barrage on Vaal a few episodes down the road. A traveling matte was used to allow a giant Apollo to appear with our landing party in the foreground at the end of act one. The huge hand keeping the Enterprise from moving in the beginning of this episode is, in fact, Gene Roddenberry's. Chekov's comments about Russians being responsible for all of the greatness of humanity were intended to be a regular feature. But except for this episode, "Friday's Child", "The Trouble with Tribbles", Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and an aside about the Garden of Eden being "just outside Moscow" in "The Apple", this did not end up happening. Although Apollo is a giant in stature again at the end of the episode and towering far above all the trees, they are shown over his shoulder in the close-ups. The premise of this episode that ancient mythological figures were powerful extra-terrestrial beings would later become a driving premise of the science-fiction film Stargate and its television spin-offs. In the middle of the episode, Spock refers to Apollo by name, but no one on the ship could know about him when Kirk and his team beamed down to the planet, their communicators had been disabled and Apollo had not identified himself before they beamed down. The second season blooper reel shows Michael Forest parading very effeminately in his Apollo costume. Mr. Forest was supposedly displeased with his costume, and this was his way of showing it. According to Allan Asherman's Star Trek Compendium, an abandoned ending to this episode would have revealed that Palamas was pregnant by Apollo (see Apocrypha). In fact, James Blish uses this ending in his adaptation of the episode in Star Trek 7. The British band Apollo 440 sampled Kirk's line "If you wanna play God and call yourself Apollo, that's your business, but you're no God to us" as well as Ltn Parrish's line "You really think you're a God?" in their 1991 single Destiny.

Sep 29, 1967 * escrito por John Meredyth Lucas * dirigido por Marc Daniels * msica de Fred Steiner * Fecha Estelar 3451.9: La Enterprise es atacada y abordada por la inusual sonda espacial Nmada, que Spock identifica como los restos combinados de un robot aliengena y una sonda de exploracin de la Tierra.

Background Information
This episode, a rehash of Frankenstein, would later become the inspiration behind the first Star Trek film. Director Marc Daniels portrays Jackson Roykirk in the photograph, wearing Scotty's dress uniform. Eddie Paskey is seen in a gold shirt in this episode so he would match the standard stock footage screen shot with George Takei and an extra's left shoulder. In a few first season shows, he is seen wearing gold in the hallways during Kirk-to-crew announcements. Watch carefully at the end of the teaser. As the actors are falling over during the attack by Nomad, Paskey lifts the navigation console off the floor of the set.

Scott refers to two of his engineers as Roger and Matt. He appears to be addressing Roger Holloway's character for the former. After Nomad explodes, William Shatner quickly raises his hand to the camera as the scene fades away, to complain about the bacon available on the set that day. This outtake was later incorporated into the "second season blooper reel." Also in the blooper reel: When Shatner tells Nomad that the Enterprise is prepared to beam it aboard, James Doohan says, "But captain you forgot about the environment and all that stuff. Do you really want to do it?" A grinning Doohan steps out of camera frame, leaving a slightly perplexed Shatner behind, bemusedly shaking his head. Remarkably, Uhura's erased knowledge is restored within a matter of days, presumably with all her memories intact as well. Stock footage of Nomad exiting the turbolift is used to show him leaving sickbay. Spock mentions that Nomad's first attack on the Enterprise was the equivalent of 90 photon torpedoes. Surprisingly, this attack only reduced the shields by 20%. This episode marks one of four times Kirk is able to "discuss a computer to death". This skill is also used in "The Return of the Archons", "I, Mudd", and "The Ultimate Computer". Nomad was launched during or after the year 2004, according to the stardate minus the years it was missing (2267263 = 2004).

This episode introduces the Mirror Universe, which has returned in episodes of DS9, ENT, and in various (noncanon) novels and comics (many of which portray versions of the mirror universe which were directly contradicted by the DS9 version. The DS9 version of events, however, is canon): DS9: "Crossover" "Through the Looking Glass" "Shattered Mirror" "Resurrection" "The Emperor's New Cloak" ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly" "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II" DC TOS: "The Mirror Universe Saga" (Vol. 1 Issues 9-16) Marvel TOS: Fragile Glass (Unnumbered issue titled Star Trek: Mirror, Mirror) Malibu DS9: "Enemies and Allies" (Issues 29-30) Pocket TNG: "Dark Mirror" by Diane Duane Pocket TOS: "Spectre" by William Shatner (with Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens) "Dark Victory" by Shatner (with the Reeves-Stevenses)

"Preserver" by Shatner (with the Reeves-Stevenses) In DS9: "Crossover", the incident in this episode marked the point when the mirror Spock gained peaceful idealism that would be the fall of the Terran Empire after his mutiny of the mirror Kirk. A continuity error occurs at the end of this episode, in which James Doohan is at the Engineering station on the bridge in the long shots, but is not behind McCoy and Kirk in the close-ups. Also, the arm of a stage hand is briefly visible "operating" the door that McCoy and Scott drag the guard through. Another error occurs when McCoy makes his "I'm a doctor not a..." speech his wedding ring briefly becomes visible. The metal head sculpture in the mirror Spock's quarters (also in the room in "Amok Time") was also owned by Dr. Adams in "Dagger of the Mind" and Marla McGivers in "Space Seed". The emergency manual monitor set makes its debut in this episode. As we look down into Engineering from this upper level, we can see that the engine components seen in "The Enemy Within" and "Court Martial" have been moved a fair distance apart. In the first season, there was just room between them for one person to walk. Additionally, the official brig makes its debut here. Its location on the set was in the short hallway leading to the Engineering set. The brig seen in "Charlie X" was in the main hallway, but featured many of the same set pieces. However, the force field projectors did not move when someone attempted to get out of the new version. "Mirror, Mirror" is unique in TOS (perhaps along with "The Naked Time") in that all the events shown take place in real time. Scotty says they have a half-hour to make their escape, and that's more or less what it takes, taking into account that some events are happening simultaneously. Topping the list of moments that the network censors should have cut is Marlena's line of dialogue after she reappears in her bedroom outfit: "Oiling my traps, darling!" The Tantalus field device will show up in McCoy's office in "Journey to Babel". This episode is the only instance in all of Star Trek in which Scotty calls Kirk "Jim", perhaps (fittingly) because this is one situation where Scott feels he cannot "work a miracle" to resolve the situation and is desperate to stay behind to save his shipmates. William Shatner's response as Kirk is one of surprise and affection. The unknown extra whom McCoy injects below the EMM ladder is seen in many episodes of the series. He is pushed by Charles Evans in "Charlie X", killed by Nomad in "The Changeling", knocked down by Spock in "Is There in Truth No Beauty?", and is at the funeral service for Kirk in "The Tholian Web". He can even be seen in the first scene of "Where No Man Has Gone Before" in the briefing room. This is the second and final appearance of the eleven-foot model Enterprise orbiting from right-to-left, and then only in the teaser. When the transposition to the parallel universe occurs, the ISS version is orbiting in the opposite direction. Although the episode was produced in 1967, the footage of the ship was filmed for "Where No Man Has Gone Before". The heightened bridge dome, the oversized deflector dish, and the unlit Bussard collectors (complete with spires), attest to that. The first time the ship orbited in this direction, (TOS: "Shore Leave"), scenes of the revamped production model were simply reversed as can be seen by the backward registration. In this episode, though, the model was shot with reversed nomenclature as the port side was unfinished. It is unknown why so little of this footage was used during the series. Despite the effort expended to highlight the opposite nature of the mirror universe, the Enterprise is seen orbiting from left-to-right in all of the scenes after the main title. You would never know it from watching, but Barbara Luna had a terrible fever when she filmed this episode. In fact, filming on this episode shut down, and resumed when she was well enough to return. "The Deadly Years" was filmed in the meantime. In the original draft script, the parallel universe Federation was battling a race called the Tharn. This name was later given to the leader of the Halkan Council, although it is not spoken on screen. This is one of several episodes in which the effects team created a unique transporter effect for one-time use. We see a Klingon transporter effect in "Day of the Dove" and the cloud city residents use another one in "The Cloud Minders". Although McCoy says he recognizes the acid spill on his table, there is no table at that location on the USS Enterprise. It is probably somewhere else in Sickbay. The scene at the end where Kirk meets Marlena on the "good" Enterprise was used in the scene where Benjamin Sisko speaks with Kirk in DS9's "Trials and Tribble-ations". This episode was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1968 as "Best Dramatic Presentation". Besides the obvious changes in the personalities and assignments on the mirror universe ship, here are some of the other changes: Crew members carry personal knives and agony devices. Phasers are worn with the handles facing forward, and on the left. The security chief uses his power and monitoring equipment to spy on crewmembers. An emblem of planet Earth appears on doors and walls, stabbed with a knife. When doors open, the Earth is split in half. Crewmembers salute the captain, in a somewhat fascist style.

The captain and other high-ranking officers routinely have mistresses. The captain's chair has a higher backrest, giving it a "thronelike" quality (it was later reused as Robert Wesley's command chair in "The Ultimate Computer"). Some officers may wear sleeveless shirts. Sashes are part of uniforms, too. Female crewmembers wear wrap-around skirts. Torture, including inducing it just for fun, is routine. The transporter has a different pattern during de/re-materialization. One advances in rank by assassinating one's superiors. Blatant breach of regulations earns one a session in the agony booth and/or the death penalty. Kirk's quarters has knives and colorful stones of some kind on display. The computer has a male voice. Spock has a beard. Sulu has a scar. High-ranking officers employ henchmen and bodyguards. Officers display their medals on their uniforms at all times, not just on dress uniforms (possibly the mirror Starfleet has no dress uniforms). When Chekov enters the turbolift with Kirk he's wearing the gold sash, but when he's in the lift with Kirk the sash is absent. When they leave the turbolift the sash is back! In terms of the Trek universe this can be explained as Kirk being in a state of quantum flux as a result of the transporter accident, and visiting at least two mirror universes. In one syndicated version, the scene where Kirk finds out about the Tantalus Field is cut. In the late 1980s, the pop band Information Society sampled Kirk's line, "It is useless to resist us," at the very beginning of their song, "Walking Away." There's a blooper from this episode in the second season blooper reel. William Shatner, DeForest Kelley, Nichelle Nichols, and James Doohan dance down a corridor, with a red-shirted extra looking on in disbelief. In a scene cut from the final episode, Kirk, McCoy and Scotty approach the captain's cabin. Kirk returns the guard's salute and says, "Let them pass," referring to his companions. In the blooper, William Shatner collides with the cabin door, which wasn't opened fast enough backstage. In the final mirror-transporter scene, Uhura comes up from behind Marlena to disarm her. She grabs Marlena's wrist and, in what appears to be a flub, Nichelle Nichols drops the phaser, but then awkwardly scoops it up and moves to cover Marlena. Jerome Bixby based this episode very very loosely on his own short story "One-Way Street." The Halkans have theorized that a galactic revolt in 240 years will overthrow the Terran Empire (something Kirk must have read on the mirror-computer, because this factoid is introduced from out of nowhere in the final mirrortransporter scene). In the DS9 series about 110 years later, however, the Empire has already been replaced by a Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, which appears to be just as brutal as the old Terran Empire. Composer Fred Steiner adapted Romulan music he had composed for "Balance of Terror" to represent the Empire in this segment, as well as using some cues from his "Mudd's Women" soundtrack. Spock has an interesting line to Sulu that is a classic of understated menace: "... I suggest you remember that my operatives would avenge my death, and some of them... are Vulcans." We have only the haziest ideas of the Mirror Universe, and build up our ideas of it from these glimpses out of the corner of the eye - which are far more chilling than being told, directly. In the TOS episode, Vulcans are apparently fairly equal partners in the Empire. However, if one starts with the the prequel "In a Mirror, Darkly", which depicted Vulcans as subservient to humans, Spock's line 100 years later suggests that his people have since gained a greater prominence in the Terran Empire, to the point where humans may actually fear Vulcans. Sulu certainly shuts up after Spock says that line. In addition, Spock counterthreatens our-Kirk's assertion, "You would find me a formidable enemy," with, "I'm aware of that, Captain. I trust that you are aware of the reverse." While it isn't canon, but the novel "Glass Empires" showed that Empress Hoshi Sato promised T'Pol that if the Vulcan Rebellion would end, she would make all Vulcans citizens of the Empire, ending their status as slaves and giving them equal rights with humans. It would certainly explain just how Vulcans had the greater prominence by the time of "Mirror, Mirror." This episode is often spoofed or parodied in various other television programs. The aspect of evil counterparts from a parallel universe and the presence of goatees on such characters are particularly popular. See Star Trek parodies and Star Trek tributes for such pop culture references. An amusing influence this episode has had on pop culture is that there is a rock band called "Spock's Beard."

Background Information
Spock's lightning-burned shirt was auctioned off at a science-fiction convention in 1967. This is the episode in which the redshirt phenomenon comes to the fore. Every red-shirted male in the landing party dies horribly. Hendorff is killed by the thorns, Kaplan by the lightning, Mallory is blown up by an exploding rock, and Marple is killed by a blow to the head. In his many appearances in Star Trek's second and third seasons, this was the most dialogue Jay Jones ever delivered. In fact, his only other speaking role is three words in "The Tholian Web". Footage of the Enterprise firing phasers down to the surface of a planet is reused from "Who Mourns for Adonais?". Walter Koenig seems to have discarded the wig he used in his earlier episodes. Since his own hair was now long enough, it was not necessary for him to wear it anymore. The sparkling effects as Vaal is attacked by the phaser barrage were lifted from the opticals used for the Companion in "Metamorphosis". They will appear again in the opticals for the creature in "Obsession". George Takei (Sulu) and Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) do not appear in this episode. Typical of limitations placed on female television characters during the 1960s, even in a future setting, Yeoman Landon is only permitted to aim kicks at her adversaries in this episode no punches allowed. On the other hand, she does spend the night in the same hut as her male companions. McCoy describes the poison in the thorns that killed Hendorff and injured Spock to be "like saponin, only 1000 times stronger." Given the potency of sapotoxin, this would give it an approximate LD50 of 1mg/kg earning it a rating of a class 1 toxin (Extremely toxic) on the Hodge and Sterner Scale. It is established in this episode that the warp nacelles can be jettisoned from the ship. Curious that this wasn't done in future episodes like "That Which Survives" when the warp engines were out of control and threatening the ship with an explosive end. This episode's original script called for an emergency saucer separation. However, due to budgeting, the effect was only mentioned but not seen. The first time it will be seen is in TNG's pilot episode, "Encounter at Farpoint". The greeting gesture performed by the people of Vaal upon welcoming the Enterprise crew is similar to one used by Neelix in a sticky diplomatic situation between Captain Janeway and a representative of the Tak Tak at the beginning of VOY: "Macrocosm".

Background Information
Cast Norman Spinrad has expressed disappointment that the actor whom he envisioned playing Decker, Robert Ryan, was not cast. Ryan was unavailable due to other commitments. [1] William Windom's powerful acting in this segment makes it doubly regretful that his character would not return to the show. Like Captain Queeg and the ball bearings he used as worry balls in The Caine Mutiny, Matt Decker absent-mindedly shuffles two record tapes in his hand, both in the Constellation's Auxiliary Control room and later on the Bridge of the Enterprise. In an interview with William Windom, he joked that Marc Daniels, the director, didn't know what to do with the scene of Decker describing what had happened to the Constellation, so he told Windom just to "improvise", during which time the director simply left the camera running and walked out to work on something else. Windom actually made a totally improvised, 10-minute speech, and in the end, they only used about a minute and a half of it. He was referring to the laid-back style of directing used. The three crewmen who beam over to the Constellation with Kirk, McCoy and Scott were named after three of the series' assistant directors. Washburn's namesake was Charles Washburn; Russ's was Rusty Meek, and Elliot's was Elliot Schick. James Doohan in a mid 1980's appearance at UNLV (University of Nevada, Las Vegas) responded to the question from a audience member "what was your favorite episode of Star Trek", his response was "The Doomsday Machine" (there were a few groans from the audience at his response). A blooper from this episode features Leonard Nimoy saying, "If you do not veer off, I shall... blow my brains out!" Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) does not appear in this episode. Uhura's duties were assumed by Lt. Lt. Palmer, played by Elizabeth Rogers. This episode marks the debut of the very complex and re-designed engineering set. The dilithium crystal storage units now occupy the center of the floor (complete with recycled Horta eggs); a ladder and upper level have been added into what was just a high bank of lighted panels in the first season. The set also is entered through a short spur hallway now, rather than as a side door off a main corridor. The console across from the forced-perspective impulse engine end of the set has been replaced by a doorway and moved to the main wall to the left of the red grid. The huge structures among which Kirk's evil self and Ben Finney once hid are not seen in detail again, but the emergency manual monitor set was built on stilts on that spot, making its debut in "Mirror, Mirror". The engine components appear and disappear as scenes dictated: they show up in "Day of the Dove" and "The Paradise Syndrome" but are absent completely in "Elaan of Troyius". The equipment Scott pulls out of the new storage area near the doorway to engineering is the same prop Spock uses in "Metamorphosis" as he works on the shuttlecraft, and which Ensign Harper uses to plug in the M-5 in "The Ultimate Computer". It is identified in The Making of Star Trek as a "Ray Generator and Energy Neutralizer (Spock-Built)." The modified Nuclear-Chicago Model 2586 Radiation Survey Meter is again used by a member of the landing party as a sensor device. The auxiliary control room is first seen in this episode aboard the Constellation. Its large viewing screen was previously used in the briefing room in "The Menagerie, Part I", "The Menagerie, Part II", and "Space Seed", and on the bridge set used in "Where No Man Has Gone Before". There are usually two full stations between Spock's library computer station, and the half station adjacent to the viewing screen. Yet, as Kirk and Spock walk by that area, only one station can be seen. The picture of the star field on the bulkhead of the transporter room makes its last appearance in this episode. Moby Dick was one of Norman Spinrad's inspirations for the original story of this episode. [2]

Sets and props

Story and production

Watch Lt. Palmer during the scene when Spock is insisting to Decker that he give the command, "If you do not veer off, I shall relieve you on that basis." She alone is covering her ears as though a loud noise is supposed to be occurring. Apparently whatever the director had intended as an audible part of this scene did not make the final cut. This is the first time the Enterprise has encountered another Constitution-class starship with the entire crew dead. The other two were in "The Omega Glory" and "The Tholian Web". Footage of Scotty being tossed around engineering is stock footage from "Tomorrow is Yesterday". A console that appears only in that episode can be seen, and you can glimpse a crewman in red coveralls as well. A further clue: Scotty wears a tricorder throughout this episode. But when the old footage of him being thrown against the grating in "Tomorrow is Yesterday" is spliced in, the tricorder vanishes. Kirk's second season green wraparound tunic debuts in this episode and will appear intermittently throughout the season. Although edged with gold, its collar lacks the black trim it will eventually have in such later second season episodes as "The Apple" and "The Immunity Syndrome". The main difference between the first and second season green tunics is the absence of the rank braids on the shoulders, which were seen only in the first season. This version of the tunic sports the standard braids on the sleeves. Kirk never wore the green tunic in the third season. There is a curious event in this episode that may have resulted from an unscripted ad lib by James Doohan. Just after Kirk dispatches Scott to the engine room of the Constellation, Scotty tells Washburn, "Come along, lad!" Immediately, Kirk says, "Washburn, you get in there", referring to a section of the auxiliary control room (this is to get the viewing screen in the control room working so that Kirk can see what is going on between the Enterprise and the Planet Killer). Richard Compton (Washburn) looks genuinely surprised at the contradictory orders. In the fight scene involving William Windom (Decker) and Montgomery, the scuff marks on the floor shows that scene was obviously filmed and refilmed several times. In most of the earlier drafts of the screenplay, Decker did not sacrifice himself, but instead survived to admit his mistakes and voluntarily retire. The core of this scene was later recycled into the ending of "The Deadly Years", where Commodore Stocker admits to Kirk that his taking command of the Enterprise was in the wrong. Susan Sackett's book, The Making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, contains character background information (originally written for the aborted TV series Star Trek: Phase II) in which Will Decker is identified as Matt Decker's son. The year this episode was filmed, AMT produced the first Enterprise model kits. One such kit was used to make the model used for the destroyed Constellation. The decals for the ship's registration numbers are just a scrambled version of "1701." The model does not have the details of the regular Enterprise miniatures, but still looks very convincing, except at the end when it wobbles as it flies into the doomsday weapon. Norman Spinrad was displeased with the model used for the planet killer. As he told Allan Asherman in The Star Trek Interview Book, he envisioned a doomsday machine bristling with all sorts of evil-looking weapons. Sol Kaplan's suspenseful "countdown" music, written for this episode, was re-used (some would say overused) in many second season episodes. In many of its profile shots, the planet killer is semi-transparent and stars show through it. This was an overlay of film footage of the doomsday machine model over an existing star field. This money-saving technique also was used in "The Squire of Gothos", when Trelane's planet blocks the Enterprise's path. When Kyle calls the bridge and tells Spock that the transporter is out, he sounds like he's right on the bridge, although it had been established that Kyle was operating the transporter. This is because the sound editor forgot to filter John Winston's voice in post-production. There are 105 effects shots in the remastered version of this episode, in contrast to the 20 or 30 in an average episode. This episode was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1968 as "Best Dramatic Presentation". The episode is constantly ranked in the top five of any "top ten" polls taken among fans with regards to their favorite Star Trek episodes.

Effects

Significance and legacy

James Doohan cited this episode for years as his favorite. In Gene Roddenberry's novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Will Decker is identified as Matt Decker's son.

Apocrypha

It hasn't been easy for him to live down the old man's legacy. Apparently, losing a Federation starship is still frowned on, whether it is the captain's fault or not.

(This line from the novelization has achieved at least semi-canonical status, considering its

Roddenberry origins

and the fact it has yet to be contradicted in any official source).

In James Blish's adaptation, Decker's first name is "Brand" and he doesn't pilot the shuttlecraft into the planetkiller. In addition, after being ordered off the bridge by Decker with "Mr. Spock knows his duties under regulations, doctor... do you?" Blish gives McCoy one final retort: "Yes, sir -- go to sickbay and wait for the casualties you're about to send me." According to the game Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, there is a school of thought that speculates that the galactic barrier around the perimeter of the galaxy was created to keep these planet killers out. This information is found in the library computer on the bridge. If this is true, then it is not 100% effective. Another, and far more popular, school of thought connects these planet killers with the Preservers, an ancient race first mentioned in "The Paradise Syndrome", and may have fought the Borg as well as created the galactic barrier. This was the premise behind Peter David's TNG novel Vendetta. This method of attack used against the Borg would be consistent with that seen used by Species 8472 in Star Trek: Voyager. "In Harm's Way", the first regular episode of the fan-made series Star Trek: New Voyages, was an unofficial sequel to this episode. That episode even had a cameo by William Windom, reprising his role as Commodore Matt Decker. The doomsday machine appears in Amarillo Design Bureau Inc.'s Star Fleet Battles first monster-based scenario (SM1.0) as "The Planet Crusher" (or "The Creature that ate Sheboygan III"). It was a basic monster scenario enabling a beginning player to learn how to fight his starship. The monster moved by automatic rules, allowing for one person to play the scenario.

Oct 27, 1967 * escrito por Robert Bloch * dirigido por Joseph Pevney * msica de Gerald Fried * Fecha Estelar 3018.2: Cuando un tripulante de un equipo de salida que estaba investigando en el ltimo planeta visitado por la Enterprise regresa bajo alguna forma de control exterior y despus muere, Kirk decide transportarse y ver por l mismo qu ha causado esa muerte. Lo que Kirk, Spock y McCoy encuentran en la superficie es una casa de los horrores llena de mitos de la antigua historia de la Tierra y a tres brujas que les lanzan una profeca maldita. Dos aliengenas son descubiertos en el centro de los diablicos hechos, y no tienen intencin alguna de dejar a Kirk o a la Enterprise abandonar su mundo. Background Information
Although this was the first episode of TOS Season 2 in production (filmed in early May 1967), it did not premiere until the week of Halloween, 1967. It was, in fact, written in a Halloween-type theme for just that reason. Walter Koenig joined the cast as Pavel Andreievich Chekov in this episode. In an apparent discontinuity, Khan Noonien Singh remembered Chekov from the previous season's "Space Seed", but it's not all that unlikely this episode's stardate (3018) actually precedes the stardate of Khan's TOS Season 1 appearance, meaning this episode could possibly have occurred before "Space Seed." This would be contradicted by DeSalle's change from botanist to assistant chief engineer, however. He had been a botanist in "This Side of Paradise", soon after "Space Seed". It is also probable that Chekov was already serving on the Enterprise in "Space Seed" but his position was as such that he was not shown on air. Stardates (during the original Star Trek series) are unreliable in determining episode sequence, which Roddenberry himself stated. This is the first episode to feature DeForest Kelley's name in the opening credits. From this point on, the episode titles and end credits are in the same font as the main title of the series. This is the first episode in which a viewer can be seen at the engineering station on the bridge. Also, the science station viewer was slightly altered for this episode it is of a lighter color than the science viewer used in episodes of the first season and has a circular control added to its left side. The device's second variation, as first seen in this episode, would remain throughout Seasons 2 and 3. A detailed metal prop miniature of the Enterprise was created for this episode, then encased in Lucite as one of Korob's tricks. The miniature was donated to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum by Gene Roddenberry. Theo Marcuse, a versatile actor who played many villains over the years, died in a car accident one month after this episode aired.

Charlie Washburn, assistant director during the second season, said Antoinette Bower was the most professional actor to appear on the series while he worked on it. Perhaps to give Bower a more artificially-Human appearance, she wore a wig while playing Sylvia. Bower's real hair can be seen (with extensions) in the first of the exotic women she transforms herself into. It is possible the cat in this episode is the same animal seen in "Assignment: Earth". Jimmy Jones is the brother of regular stunt performer Jay Jones. The resemblance is strong, but Jim Jones has a scar by his mouth the "other Jones" does not have. Scotty's only dialogue in this episode is "Everything's vanished". Kirk says that the rubies, emeralds, sapphires and diamonds that Korob offers them are worthless: the Enterprise, he argues, could manufacture "a ton" of them. Yet in "Arena", he notes that he is surrounded by "a fortune" in diamonds. The term "catspaw" has a double meaning in this episode. The obvious one is that Sylvia takes on the form of a giant cat; the title refers to her paw. Another meaning is that of a person used by another as a dupe; as McCoy points out, Scott and Sulu are used as catspaws to lure more crewmen down. The only crew member to die in this episode is Jackson. In a very brief scene during the red alert we see crewmen in turtleneck uniforms walking on a corridor. It is stock footage from "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and the last time that these uniforms are worn by Enterprise crewmembers in the original series. Robert Bloch based this episode very, very loosely on his own short story "Broomstick Ride." Bloch also wrote "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" In both episodes, the "Old Ones" figure into the guest characters' backstories. This episode brings to light the fingers James Doohan had lost during World War II, an aspect usually hidden on screen. When he is holding his phaser, only two fingers can be seen on the butt. Andrea Weaver becomes the women's costumer of the series with this episode. She would remain with the show throughout the remainder of the season and half of TOS Season 3. Elements of composer Gerald Fried's score for this episode are suspiciously similar to his earlier score for "The My Friend The Gorilla Affair," a third season episode of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. aired in December 1966.

Kirk, aunque sospecha comprensiblemente de Harry, debe cooperar con el contrabandista si quiere detener la invasin androide. Y el mayor arma al alcanze de Kirk, su tripulacin, y Harry es actuar de manera totalmente ilgica. Background Information
Imaginative use of twins and split screens give the illusion of a planet of thousands of androids in this episode. The piece of equipment against the back wall of Norman's lab will show up later in the corridors of the Enterprise. Several other pieces of hardware, including the "nanopulse laser" will show up as bits of high-tech devices later. "I, Mudd" features one of the few hand-held camera shots in the series, as the crew dances to the imaginary music. One of the blooper reels offers a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of this sequence. In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, we learn that Chekov was aboard when "Space Seed"'s events took place. His question to Kirk, "You know this man, Captain?" tells us he was definitely not aboard when Harry Mudd made his first appearance. This would be George Takei's last appearance in the series until "Return to Tomorrow". Shatner had put on quite a bit of weight by the filming of this episode. Just as some of the production team were about to put unflattering profile photos in his mail, he increased his workout schedule and began to trim down.

Dr. McCoy's line, "It's worked so far, but we're not out yet." is used in the Information Society's song, "What's On Your Mind". "I, Mudd" was the sixth episode of the "remastered" version of The Original Series to air. It premiered in syndication on the weekend of 14 October 2006 and most notably featured new effects shots of the planet Mudd from space (in this version a ringed planet) and of Norman's inner circuitry. This episode marks the one of four times Kirk is able to "talk a computer to death". This skill is also used in "The Changeling", "The Return of the Archons", and "The Ultimate Computer". Alice is insensitive to the Vulcan nerve pinch (she calmly asks Spock if there is a signification to that gesture when he slowly tests the pinch on her). That makes her, with colonel Gary Seven, one of the only humanoid to be insensitive to the Vulcan pinch. The fact that she is a highly robotic android reduces her merit however.

Background Information
Bantam Books published a series of novelizations called "foto-novels," which took photographic stills from actual episodes and arranged word balloons and text over them, to create a comic book formatted story. The fifth installment was an adaptation of this episode. According to Elinor Donahue, in the forward to that foto-novel, a whole landing sequence with the shuttlecraft was filmed and subsequently cut from the show. She also stated that she wore her scarf around her neck in the latter half of the episode because the neckline on her costume got "droopitis," due to her losing about ten pounds during the production of the episode. The dress itself was actually made up of scrap material salvaged and sewn together in the costume department. In the 2004 DVD release of Season One, the photo log shows a still of the shuttlecraft model seen on a miniature planet set. This is likely an unused effects shot of the landing filmed and edited from "Metamorphosis", because the model is labeled "Galileo II." Symbolically, the colored patterns in the scarf worn by the Commissioner are identical to the patterns in the energy field of the Companion. This is shown clearly as she looks at Cochrane through the scarf near the end of the episode. The shuttlecraft mock-up is not the same as the set used for the interiors of the Galileo. Notice how Kirk and company are all crouching as they emerge from the ship. The shuttlecraft interior set had a lot more head room. The scenes of Cochrane communicating with the Companion were all shot at one time. The set was then completely redone with his house added for all of the sequences with Kirk and company. The inconsistencies between the two versions of the same set can be seen in alien trees that are near Cochrane in one view and absent in the next. To give an illusion of open space to a confined stage set, wide angle lenses were used. Watch how quickly Glenn Corbett approaches from what looks like hundreds of yards away when he first runs toward the shuttle! Strategically placed rocks also allowed the camera to be very far away without seeing the edges of the set. A drawback to the use of a wide angle lens is obvious in the scene where actor Corbett first approaches the shuttlecraft. Accent lights on top of the set's background are clearly visible along the top of the "sky" as the camera pans to the right when following Corbett's path. Even more obvious, at the end of the shot the black edge of the set is clearly visible behind the shuttlecraft.

An effect rarely used ("Obsession" being another case) is seen in "Metamorphosis". Slowly moving "clouds" were blown in from hidden vents. They added a touch of reality to the usually static planet set. Ralph Senensky-directed episodes often showed extra touches like this. Although Cochrane is from Alpha Centauri, he must have been a native of Earth originally when commenting about his home, he says, "It's not Earth, of course." Spock also refers to him as being an irrational Human being at the conclusion of the episode. Perhaps no episode of the series demonstrates the concept of "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations" more fully than this. Cochrane runs a gamut of emotions from defending the Companion to resenting the fact that it "used" him, to finally accepting its love fully. As McCoy says, "There's nothing disgusting about it. It's just another lifeform... you get used to those things!" Acceptance of alien life is a common theme in many of Gene L. Coon's scripts. Elizabeth Rogers, uncredited for some reason for her voice work as the Companion, returned to the series two times as communications officer Lt. Palmer. A view of the starship from dead center in front of the saucer section is used only in this episode. The Enterprise is not shown until twenty-seven minutes and one second into the episode. All the footage of the shuttlecraft in outer space was reused from "The Galileo Seven", some with the Companion animation added in post-production. Walter Koenig (Pavel Chekov) does not appear in this episode. This is the only episode in the first two seasons in which Captain Kirk is not on the Enterprise at any time during the action. In four third season shows, Kirk also spends the duration of the episode off-ship: "The Paradise Syndrome", "Plato's Stepchildren", "Whom Gods Destroy", and "All Our Yesterdays". In the first draft script, Scotty is also on board the shuttlecraft (here called the Edison) with Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Hedford. It was originally he who was to encounter the Companion while attempting to repair the shuttlecraft. A Gold Key Comics comic book was released as a sequel to this episode, #49: "A Warp in Space". Act two ends with the Companion attacking Kirk and Spock inside Cochrane's house. The picture fades out to commercial and the music ends, but the final sound is of Kirk choking.

The actor playing Gav couldn't see well through the prosthetics over his eyes, thus causing him to raise his head to see. This added to the early mythos that the Tellarites were arrogant. Tellarites will be seen in two third-season episodes, with greatly modified masks. An unused make-up scheme for the Tellarites can be seen in the end credits of several episodes. The matte shot of Uhura appearing on the screen in Engineering is one of the smallest mattes ever used in the series until the view discs in "All Our Yesterdays". For some unknown reason, during the fight between Thelev and Kirk, just after Kirk's failed wall kick the comical sound effect of a coconut konk can be heard. This may have been meant to indicate Thelev's head hitting the floor. In the Remastered Edition of this episode it seems that this slighty silly effect has been removed from the fight.

During the same fight Thelev's hands noticeably alternate between Andorian-blue and stunt-man "pink". The unknown actor who plays one of Sarek's aides also appeared as mirror Spock's Vulcan bodyguard in "Mirror, Mirror". This episode introduces the Andorians and the Tellarites. Along with Humans and the Vulcans, they are two of the four founding members of the United Federation of Planets. The guest actors in this segment are uniformly excellent, with Jane Wyatt and Mark Lenard leaving their mark with some of the most memorable portrayals in the series. As a tribute to her long and distinguished career, Wyatt is called "Miss Jane Wyatt" in the closing credits. John Wheeler, William O'Connell and Reggie Nalder make the most of their small roles, with Nalder's Austrian accent giving a great sense of the exotic to the role of Shras. We learn about Spock's childhood pet, a sehlat, in this episode. We will meet I-Chaya in D.C. Fontana's animated episode, "Yesteryear". Andorian make-up was very expensive. Three different sets had to be created, for O'Connell, Nalder and for the stuntman doubling for O'Connell. Many of the costumes worn by extras in the hallway and reception room scenes were recycled from several first season episodes, including the outfits worn by Galactic High Commissioner Ferris from The Galileo Seven and by Lazarus in The Alternative Factor. The Orion ship, a convincing piece of animation, is recycled as the missile in "Patterns of Force". The coded message sent by Thelev is the same signal heard in "Miri". Jim Shepherd, Thelev's stunt double, died in a stunt accident on another show/movie shortly after his work in this episode. In the original script Sarek and his company were beamed aboard the Enterprise. But after going over budget with the expensive Vulcan, Andorian, Tellarite make-ups and the outer space footage of the Orion ship there was no money left for the transporter effect. Their transportation to the ship by shuttlecraft was decided because it could be made completely by using stock footage from "The Galileo Seven". The resulting scene was far more dramatic and interesting than a beam-over would have been. James Doohan (Scotty) and George Takei (Sulu) do not appear in this episode, although McCoy and Kirk do mention Scotty's name. If you look behind McCoy while Amanda is inquiring about Sarek's condition, you will see the Tantalus field controls used in "Mirror, Mirror". According to Spock, the Orion ship travels at "approximately Warp 10" in its first pass. According to Uhura, Starfleet says "No authorized Federation vessel in this quadrant". The quadrant that she is referring to is obviously a different kind than the galactic Alpha, Beta etc. quadrants. The Tellarite ambassador is found dead in "Deck 11, section A3", which according to Matt Jefferies' original internal schematics is at the bottom of the main interconnecting dorsal. The "slanting wall tube" that the Tellarite is found sprawled in is also identified as "Engineering Circuit Bay" by the wall plaque in another episode. Spock reports that he gets readings of "trititanium" in the Orion ship's hull. It is not clear if the entire hull is made of it or parts of it. Trititanium is the material that the Enterprise's hull is made of as Gene Roddenberry says in his novelization of ST:TMP. It is not clear whether it is the same material as "tritanium" which is reported to be "20 times as hard as diamond" in TOS "Obsession". Kirk orders that photon torpedo "tubes 2, 4, and 6" to be loaded, and requests "widest possible scatter". The ship only seems to get off two shots though, and Chekov reports "a full spread miss, sir". Photon torpedoes also seem to be controlled by Chekov from the science station in this episode. After repeated attacks by the Orion ship, which is armed with "standard phasers", the Enterprise's #4 shield buckles, at which time Kirk orders "auxiliary power", after which Chekov reports "Shields firming up, #4 is still weak, Sir." Kirk says to Engineering: "Cut power on the port side, except for phaser banks." It is unclear whether this means there are phasers on the port side somewhere or if he means the port side of the forward banks. The Orion ship is destroyed while closing on the Enterprise at sublight, at a range of around 75,000 km. Manny Coto originally pushed to have the short, gold-skinned species from this episode attend the Coalition of Planets conference in "Terra Prime", but it proved too expensive. He named the species Ithanite which was mentioned in "Azati Prime" by time traveller Daniels. In the confrontation between Sarek and Gav, the close ups show Gav holding his drink in his left hand but in the long shots, his drink is in his right hand.

Background Information
The set panel to the left of the science station was removed for this episode. Chekov can be seen with his hand draped over the left edge of the station; an edge that shouldn't exist. In the next episode, "Who Mourns for Adonais?", wider shots show that the workstation countertop continues unbroken when the set piece is in place. In the scene in the tent with Akaar, Maab says that some people will not bargain with Earth men. Akaar stands up and asks if Maab wishes to fight him. When it shows a close-up of Akaar, he's sitting down right after standing up, but in the next frame he's standing up again. In the footage seen in the briefing room of Dr. McCoy's previous visit to Capella IV, he is seen wearing his present day Enterprise tunic, rather than a TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" era tunic, which would have been appropriate for that time period. Leonard James Akaar has appeared as a Starfleet admiral in several of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novels that take place after the end of the events depicted on screen. The footage seen on the briefing room screen in the teaser is identical to scenes of warriors hunting down Kirk and company later on in the episode. A sequence in the blooper reel shows William Shatner entering the tent too quickly when Tige Andrews is looking for his weapon and exclaiming, "Oh, shit!" Lots of dialogue looping was used in this episode because of the outdoor setting. Some of the dubbing was crammed together, nearly on top of other lines. For his first four appearances in the series, including this episode, Walter Koenig wore a Beatle-style wig, which he absolutely detested. In one interview, he made joking and uncomplimentary references to that wig. By "The Apple", he seems to have discarded it. This was Robert Bralver's first appearance of many in the series, often as a stunt performer or uncredited extra. This episode marks the debut of Sulu's personal scanner at his helm position. In its first appearance, the device dramatically unfolds and emerges from inside the helm console. In his written adaptations of the episodes, James Blish refers to the device as a "gooseneck viewer." Grant is the only Enterprise crewman killed in this episode. This episode may possibly have been aired as a repeat, one week before "Assignment: Earth" first aired, as Stephen Whitfield's The Making of Star Trek lists the episode as airing 3-22. Stephen Whitfield's The Making of Star Trek also features some excellent behind-the-scenes photos from this episode, filmed in late May 1967, including Shatner and Nimoy reading the "Mad" magazine 'Star Trek' spoof. The name of this episode appears to derive from the old children's rhyme, 'Friday's Child' ("Friday's child is loving and giving"). "Capellans" was also the name given to the aliens in Jerry Sohl's 1953 novel The Transcendent Man, though the connection seems unintentional: The aliens in that book were closer in style to the Organians.

Background Information
Bantam Books published a series of novelizations called "foto-novels," which took photographic stills from actual episodes and arranged word balloons and text over them, to create a comic book formatted story. The eleventh installment was an adaptation of this episode. During the filming of this episode the cast and crew widely believed that this was to be their final episode, as at the time they were facing impending cancellation. The costume for Dr. Wallace was made from drapes. In this episode, Kirk makes a reference to the fictional "corbomite" device, which he first described in "The Corbomite Maneuver". Although Chekov was not on the bridge on that occasion, he obviously heard the story from someone, as he and Sulu exchange knowing looks when Kirk mentions the word. Shatner's hairline is inconsistent in this episode. As the aging effect first hits him, the hairline is receding, but for some reason, as he gets much older, his hairline advances again. It has been documented that Shatner did not want to look old, and indeed, he looks much more youthful than Scott and McCoy. It is not known if Shatner wore a grey wig on top of his existing wig. No special effects shots were filmed for this episode. The entire Romulan attack is created by using stock footage from "Balance of Terror" and "Errand of Mercy". Areel Shaw's line from "Court Martial" about how long it has been since she's seen Kirk is recycled by Janet Wallace in this segment. The script called for the aged Kirk to run from sickbay to the bridge, and gradually grow younger until he arrived. This was cut as it was cost-prohibitive. This episode was produced in early August 1967. Kirk's age 34 years old is established in this episode. In The World of Star Trek, William Shatner relates that he endured an excruciating make-up session for this episode all for nothing, because the shooting day was just about to end. The producers caught his exasperation in an infamous blooper, wherein he declares, "Bob Justman, I'm going home now... after spending three hours putting this [expletive deleted] make-up back on and it's your fault!" The last shot of the episode is lifted from "Amok Time". Note the wig there on Walter Koenig, which he didn't have on for the entire episode. Dr. Janet Wallace's reason for being aboard the Enterprise is never revealed. She's just "there" in Act I, and her expertise as an endocrinologist later turns out to be fortuitous. It's possible, however, that she and Commodore Stocker have both been assigned, and are being conducted, to Starbase 10.

Background Information Cast

Eddie Paskey (Lt. Leslie) is killed by the vampire cloud in this episode, but reappears in later scenes (and the very next episode "The Immunity Syndrome") very much alive! According to Paskey, a scene in which a miracle potion saved his life was cut from the show. To see Leslie post mortem, look to see him walk by McCoy in a corridor in a red shirt. Later he walks by McCoy's office door in a yellow shirt when Nurse Chapel enters. Jerry Ayres, who is killed by the vampire cloud, was also killed in his first "Star Trek" appearance as red-shirted Ensign O'Herlihy in Arena. He had his hair dyed lighter in this appearance, to lessen the resemblance. McCoy's medical tunic clearly sports an engineering badge. George Takei (Sulu) does not appear in this episode. In addition to the two mentioned above, three additional crewmembers are killed during this episode, bringing the death count to five. Spock again is saved in this episode because his blood is based on copper, not iron. On our own planet, octopi have copper-based blood, haemocyanin, which makes their blood appear blue. Not unique to this episode are the shock waves that hit the ship after the anti-matter explosion. Shock waves from any type of conventional explosion don't travel in a vacuum. Later series state that any shock waves experienced in vacuum are subspace phenomena, as yet unexplained to modern science. The planet surface is a reused set from the previous episode The Gamesters of Triskelion minus the ruins and plus some strange alien vegetation. The visual of the planet Argus X from orbit is reused footage previously representing Alfa 177 in "The Enemy Within", M-113 in "The Man Trap" and The iron-silica planet in "The Alternative Factor". This planet effect would be reused again Ardana in "The Cloud Minders". After the cloud creature invaded Garrovick's quarters, an operations division ensign is apparently scanning the area with a sensor device. This Feinberger was a repainted Nuclear-Chicago Model 2586 "Cutie Pie" Radiation Survey Meter. During their struggle on the surface of Tycho IV, Kirk throws Ensign Garrovick into a massive fake boulder which moves perceptibly from the impact. At the very beginning of the episode, Kirk hits the surface of a massive rock which is supposed to be twenty times harder than diamond. The noise of that hit, however, blatantly sounds as though he had hit a hollow wooden box.

Background Information
Robert Bloch, the writer of this teleplay, originally envisioned the Enterprise crew sipping drinks which had several differently colored layers, much like a pousse-caf. The imbiber's mood would change as he drank each layer. This was dropped as being too complicated and costly to realize just for a throwaway moment of humor. According to David Gerrold in his book about the making of "The Trouble with Tribbles", network censors were

concerned that it would appear that the crew was engaged in drug use. Producer Gene Coon told the censors that they were "full of horseshit" but the drinks were excised anyway. The seance scene which ends in darkness and a murder is very similar to a scene in writer Robert Bloch's classic short story Yours Truly, Jack The Ripper. Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) and Walter Koenig (Pavel Chekov) do not appear in this episode. John Fiedler who played the role of the killer was best known as an actor who has played milquetoasts throughout his career. He was also the voice of Piglet in the Winnie the Pooh films and television shows. The Rigel VII fortress music by Alexander Courage was used in the seance sequence. However, the original was not utilized. A new recording was made for use in the second and third seasons. The rerecording was used again in "A Private Little War" and "That Which Survives". Vina's dance music from "The Cage" is reused as Kara's dance music. James Blish's adaptation of this episode in Star Trek 8 features a paragraph-length description of the grotesque images that are seen only fleetingly as swirling blobs of color on the viewscreen monitor in the briefing room after the entity takes over the Enterprise computer. In Blish's version, when Yeoman Tankris fearfully asks, "What could it be?" Kirk replies, "A vision of hell." Some of the extras in the Argelius bar scene are wearing turtleneck uniforms from "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before". In the late 1980s, the pop band Information Society sampled Scotty's line, "Let's go see," in their song, "Walking Away." A sequel, of sorts, to this story was presented in the WildStorm comic book "Embrace the Wolf".

THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES / Los Tribbles y sus tribulaciones. Dic 29, 1967 * escrito por David Gerrold * dirigido por Joseph Pevney * ver tambien Deep Space Nine "Trials and Tribble-ations" * msica de Jerry Fielding * Fecha Estelar 4523.3: La Enterprise es llamada desde la estacin espacial K-7 para una tarea de seguridad cuando las fuerzas de seguridad de la estacin son consideradas inadecuadas para proteger un cargamento de valioso grano por el representante de la Federacin, el administrador de agricultura Baris.

Nota: William Campbell vuelve en la historia de Deep Space Nine "Blood Oath" para provocar ms caos, esta vez sin tribbles. Background Information
Star Trek eventually returned to the events of this episode in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations". "More Tribbles, More Troubles" is the TAS sequel to this episode. Bantam Books published a series of novelizations called "foto-novels," in which took photographic stills from actual episodes and arranged word balloons and text over them, to create a comic book formatted story. The third installment was an adaptation of this episode. James Doohan insisted on doing his own stunts. In the barroom brawl, he throws some very convincing punches. Jay Jones only doubled for him in a few brief fight sequences. This is one of the few episodes in which Doohan's missing right middle finger (lost due to injuries sustained during the invasion of Normandy in World War Two) is apparent. It can be noticed as he carries a large bundle of tribbles to Captain Kirk, complaining that they've infested Engineering as well. Spock estimates that it will take Cyrano Jones 17.9 years to clean up all the tribbles on K-7. McCoy refers to the tribbles as "bisexual" which is incorrect. They are in fact reproducing asexually.

During production of the "buried in tribbles" scene, it took up to eight takes (a considerable number) to get the avalanche of tribbles to fall just right. DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations" would later establish that the continuously falling tribbles hitting Kirk were in fact thrown by Sisko and Dax, frantically searching for the bomb placed by the future Darvin. Wah Chang designed the original tribbles. Hundreds were sewn together during production, using pieces of extralong rolls of carpet. Some of them had mechanical toys placed in them so they could walk around. The original tribbles became sought-after collector's items, and quickly disappeared from the prop department. According to Gerrold, 500 tribbles were constructed for the episode and the tribble-maker, Jacqueline Cumere, was paid US$350. The line in which Spock says that Kirk heard what Baris said, but could not believe his ears, was lifted directly from a Mad Magazine spoof of Star Trek (titled Star Blecch) that had just been published. This is the only time in the series that Scott and Chekov have a conversation with one another. (However, in "Friday's Child", when Scott remarks, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me," Chekov quips that the saying was invented in Russia.) Sound effects editor Douglas Grindstaff combined altered dove coos, screech owl cries and emptying balloons to create the tribble sounds. The Enterprise miniature seen out of Lurry's window doesn't move, but if it was orbiting at the same speed the station was rotating, this would make sense. The miniature is actually one of the plastic model kits that AMT was selling at the time. In the 1970s, AMT produced a model of the K-7 space station itself, complete with a tiny Enterprise. SCTV blew up a Klingon ship with phaser blasts from some of these K-7 model kits in a low-budget effects spoof of The Empire Strikes Back in 1981. The entire bar set, including the bartender's costume, is recycled from "Court Martial". Footage of K-7 was recycled in "The Ultimate Computer". Easily missed is Korax making fun of Scotty's accent: "Yerrrrright, ah shoooould." Guy Raymond (the bartender) also played a bartender in beer commercials during the '60s, in which he commented on the strange occurrences in his bar. Michael Pataki is another actor who guested in two series of Star Trek, appearing in TNG: "Too Short a Season". George Takei (Hikaru Sulu) does not appear in this episode. For a good chunk of the second season, he was filming The Green Berets. Many scenes written for Takei were switched over to Walter Koenig. Some of the extras in the bar are wearing turtleneck uniforms from "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before". The gentleman who seems to be enjoying watching the fight is wearing Finnegan's uniform from "Shore Leave", another one is wearing a uniform of the USS Antares worn by Captain Ramart or Tom Nellis in "Charlie X". Ed Reimers, who plays Admiral Fitzpatrick, was the TV spokesman for Allstate Insurance in the 1960s. In a funny sequence from the blooper reel, he catches a tribble and says, "Oh, and Captain: you're in good hands with tribbles" (a play on the Allstate motto, "You're in good hands with Allstate.") William Schallert later guest starred as Varani in DS9: "Sanctuary". This episode was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1968 as "Best Dramatic Presentation". Despite this episodes broad popularity with the fans, series Co-Producer Bob Justman has stated that he never liked this episode, as he felt the characters parodied themselves, and that the episode lacked believability due to it's over the top humor. This script, one of Star Trek's most popular, was David Gerrold's first professional sale ever. His working title for the episode was "A Fuzzy Thing Happened to Me..." This was voted the best episode of the Star Trek: The Original Series by viewers of Sci-Fi Channel's Star Trek 40th Anniversary Celebrations. When Kirk, Spock and McCoy leave the bridge, after Kirk orders "Get these tribbles off the bridge," the turbolift doors open with the harsh sound the doors really have, rather than the gentle "whoosh" normally heard on the series. The sound effects man apparently forgot to dub in the correct sound. This error remains in the "remastered" version as well. Chekov quips that Scotch whiskey "was invented by a little old lady from Leningrad." That Russian city, originally St. Petersburg, had its name changed to honor Vladimir Lenin, leader of the Communist revolution in 1917. The name St. Petersburg was restored in 1991, after the breakup of the USSR. Chekov's scripted reference to Leningrad was apt for 1967, when the episode was made. It suggests that in the 23rd century, that the name has come back into use, or that it was invented during the time it was called Leningrad. The movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home also refers to Leningrad. According to Michael and Denise Okuda's text commentary on this episode for the second season DVD set, the last fresh footage of the Enterprise was done for this episode. In every episode to follow, the shots of the ship were all stock footage.

Background Information
Dick Crockett was stunt coordinator for this episode. The original title was "The Gamesters of Pentathalon" on the first-draft script from 1 May 1967. Robert Johnson, voice of one of the Providers, was one of America's most famous voices for a few years: he was the tape recorded voice that gave Jim Phelps his assignments at the beginning of each episode of "Mission: Impossible." "Mission" was filmed next door to the "Star Trek" set, and actors from the series would often wander over to see what was happening on the Enterprise. Why it was necessary for Kirk to be part of a landing party for a check of an automated research station is perhaps a mystery on par with finding the Janus VI mining station backdrop painting from The Devil in the Dark under the surface of Triskelion. Another mystery is the top of Lazarus's ship from The Alternative Factor as the Providers' glass bubble. At the beginning of the episode, the landing party end up flat on their backs. As a result, Kirk's communicator ends up with a badly bent antenna grid. This miraculously corrects itself a few moments later when he tries to contact the ship. Kirk clearly violates the rules by entering the opponents' colors in the final battle sequence. In the close-up of Kirk firing his inoperative phaser in the episode's teaser, the unit's battery-operated light can be seen flashing in its nozzle. The actor portraying the drill thrall that Uhura refuses to punish is seen on board the ISS Enterprise at the engineering station in "Mirror, Mirror", and they seem to use the same knives that were used in that episode. The ruined arch of the old Provider city bears a strong resemblance to the Craters' headquarters entrance in "The Man Trap". William Shatner badly muffs Uhura's name ("Yoo-hoo-ra") as he demands to know what Lars is doing to her. This may be the quickly-directed episode that Shatner mentions in one of his interviews, since a re-take was not done. Uhura's screams in this episode are recycled from the previous episode and will be heard again in "The Omega Glory" synched with Irene Kelly's mouth. Much of the goings-on on the planet Triskelion are unpleasant, but there is enjoyable McCoy-Spock-Scott banter in this segment of the series. Walter Koenig has an interesting comic relief role with the flamboyant Tamoon. Spock's very sardonic dialogue in this episode is matched only by that in "That Which Survives". "Stop trick" the cheapest and most ancient "special effect" is used throughout the episode just like in "The Squire of Gothos". But while in that episode characters, movements and angles between cuts were placed perfectly, in The Gamesters of Triskelion several errors occur: hands and shoulders of the transporter operators change when Kirk, Uhura and Chekov disappear and camera position changes when Kirk appears in the arena after talking with the Providers. George Takei (Sulu) does not appear in this episode. Joseph Ruskin would later return to Star Trek twenty-six years after this episode, with three appearances in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, as well as roles in Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Insurrection and Star Trek: Enterprise. This episode was parodied in The Simpsons episode "Deep Space Homer" (which, in and of itself, is a parody of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's title). In the episode, Homer Simpson fights Barney Gumbel in the Triskelion arena

with the classic Star Trek "fight music" playing in the background, while one of the NASA administrators bets "quatloos on the newcomer." In Chekov's scene with Tamoon, the shadow of the boom microphone can clearly be seen moving about over their heads.

Before it was decided they would focus on the events of "The Trouble with Tribbles", the Deep Space Nine writing staff toyed with the idea of the DS9 crew visiting Sigma Iotia II and finding they had all imitated the Enterprise crew and wore TOS-style uniforms. This was to be both a comedy and a social commentary on the Trekkie phenomenon; however, it was agreed that revisiting the famous "The Trouble with Tribbles" would be more memorable. The original idea was followed up in the final issue of the Star Trek Unlimited comic book series, "A Piece of Reaction" instead. Bantam Books published a series of novelizations called "foto-novels," which took photographic stills from actual episodes and arranged word balloons and text over them, to create a comic book formatted story. The eighth installment was an adaptation of this episode. Anthony Caruso wrote a very enjoyable foreword for that Fotonovel in the character of Bela Oxmyx. He mentions that he was elected president of the planet in a landslide and that he made Jojo Krako his vice president. The arrangement worked out well, he said, as he hadn't heard from Krako since. The street seen throughout this episode is on the Paramount lot and can be seen in many television series. The steps leading up to Oxmyx's headquarters were used in the Judd Hirsch series, "Dear John." The car that Kirk drove to "put the bag on Krako" had a V-12 engine, as a V-12 emblem is seen on the radiator. It is a Cadillac, probably a 1931 model. [1] Note the winged radiator cap, which Cadillacs of that vintage had. Incidentally, this represents the only time that a member of the crew ever operated any kind of land vehicle during the course of the original series. Bela is called Oxmyx in the script, but the dartboard poster in the episode says Okmyx. Hadley is given his name in this episode. Kirk calls McCoy "Sawbones" in this episode. This is the only episode of TOS to end in a freeze-frame. It is also the only episode in which the ship's phasers are set to stun. (In "The Ultimate Computer", Kirk has them set at 1/100th power.) Gene Roddenberry jotted down the idea for this episodea one-sentence synopsis titled "President Capone"on the very first page of his very first Star Trek series proposal in 1964. No stardate is actually logged in the episode. The stardate shown, 4598.0, is from Bjo Trimble's Star Trek Concordance, apparently using an earlier script version, and the photonovel provides a closing stardate 4598.7. This stardate makes "A Piece of the Action" both stardatewise and production-wise the episode that occurs just before "By Any Other Name". With only one line of dialogue (the first sentence in the episode), this is Walter Koenig's smallest speaking part ever in TOS.

In the Star Trek: The Original Series Sketchbook, his interesting book on the costumes and art direction of the original series, Herb Solow shows a yellow costume for "Marlys" that he says no one can identify. It is, in fact, the costume Marlys Burdette wore in this episode. George Takei (Sulu) does not appear in this episode. Coincidentally, a non-'Star Trek' role for William Shatner was when he played an aged 1930s gangster who thought he'd been transported back in time in a 1971 Mission Impossible episode named "Encore". Issues 90-94 of the popular comic book series Fantastic Four, published 1969, involved the Thing being taken to a planet of aliens who have also based their entire culture on the mob lifestyle of the 1920s. Star Trek: Enterprise appears to conflict with data stated in this episode. Kirk explains that when the Horizon visited the planet 100 years ago, subspace radio had not been invented yet. Yet, in Enterprise, set 115 years earlier, subspace communications did indeed exist. However, subspace communications in Enterprise had to be established through subspace amplifiers, so it may be that subspace radio being a means to maintain contact with Starfleet Command over great distances without requiring an amplifier had not yet been invented. Kirk also states the Horizon had no transporters; perhaps it was the ECS Horizon.

THE IMMUNITY SYNDROME / El sndrome de inmunidad. Ene 19, 1968 * escrito por Robert Sabaroff * dirigido por Joseph Pevney * msica de Sol Kaplan y Fred Steiner * Fecha Estelar 4307.1: Spock recibe telepticamente el grito colectivo de toda la tripulacin vulcana de la USS Intrepid al morir, que ha sido destruda por una fuerza desconocida. La Enterprise intercepta un organismo gigantesco, que rodea a la nave, comenzado a causar enfermedades fsicas y mentales entre la tripulacin. Kirk, Spock y McCoy llegan a la conclusin de que este paradjicamente enorme organismo unicelular puede ser una "enfermedad", y su rumbo pronto le llevar a travs de sistemas habitados. La Enterprise se convierte en el nico "anticuerpo" capaz de salvar la vida de millones ante el embite del enorme parsito. Background Information
Robert Sabaroff's outline on 14 August 1967 described the creature as a giant virus living in a "cell" that consists of our universe, and the illness affecting everyone was attributed to a reversal of the Enterprise's polarity, which did happen in "That Which Survives". The episode was filmed in late October and early November of that year. Although the name was cut from the final draft, the captain of the USS Intrepid was named Satak. For some reason, Mr. Kyle is referred to as "Mr. Cowell" by Captain Kirk in this episode. The space amoeba optical effects were by Frank Van Der Veer. It seems rather strange that in two consecutively-filmed episodes, an anti-matter detonation was responsible for destroying a space creature. John Winston wears a gold uniform for the only time in the series. This was done so that he would match the stock footage from the captain's chair viewpoint, showing Walter Koenig and an extra's right shoulder. This episode was the last time in which Kirk's green wrap-around tunic was used. The last time viewers would see the shirt would be in "Bread and Circuses", since "The Immunity Syndrome" aired first. A continuity error in costuming occurs when Spock and McCoy are standing outside the hangar deck. McCoy is wearing his short-sleeved top, but the insert shot of him operating the door controls features an arm in a longsleeved uniform. The young crew woman whom Kirk admires as he records his log at the end of this show appears to be the same extra who portrayed the other female Klingon seen in "Day of the Dove". This is the first episode ending with a "Paramount Television" logo instead of the "Desilu" logo, after Desilu was sold to Paramount Pictures. This episode likely holds the record in the original series for most beings killed. Kirk says the systems wiped out along with the Intrepid had "billions" of inhabitants. TNG: "Where Silence Has Lease" had a potential tie-in with this episode, but the writers made a major gaffe. In that episode, the Enterprise-D encounters a "hole" in space which sensors cannot penetrate. When Picard asks Data if anything like this has ever been encountered by a starship before, Data tells him no despite the events in "The Immunity Syndrome" being analogous. George Lucas quotes Spock's lines about sensing the death screams of the Intrepid's crew almost to the letter in Star Wars, when Ben Kenobi senses the destruction of Alderaan.

A PRIVATE LITTLE WAR / La pequea guerra olvidada. Feb 2, 1968 * guin de Gene Roddenberry * historia de Jud Crucis * dirigido por Marc Daniels * msica de Gerald Fried * Fecha Estelar 4211.4: La Enterprise visita un mundo primitivo en donde el Imperio Klingon ha armado a una faccin de la poblacin contra otra para esperar la eliminacin de la poblacin ms dbil y aliarse con los guerreros ms fuertes. Spock es herido seriamente cuando l, Kirk y McCoy se transportan a la superficie, y es devuelto a la Enterprise para recibir asistencia mdica mientras que Kirk y McCoy intentan contactar con los nativos. Kirk es herido por un animal venenoso del planeta, pero logra llegar, con la ayuda de McCoy, hasta su viejo amigo Tyree. Nona, la esposa sanadora de Tyree cura a Kirk y luego le sigue. Kirk y McCoy, mientras tanto, deben ser capaces de resolver la clara desventaja entre las dos facciones unicamente armando a la gente de Tyree contra los adversarios armados por los klingons. Nota: Ned Romero aparece tambien en el episodio de 1994 de The Next Generation "Journey's End." Background Information
The original writer of this episode, Don Ingalls, put the pseudonym Jud Crucis on it after Gene Roddenberry rewrote it. Ingalls' original contained many more overt Vietnam analogies than what finally appeared. According to Allan Asherman's "Star Trek Compendium" this script referred to Apella as a "Ho Chi Mihn-type" and the tribesmen wearing Mongolian clothes. Though friends with Roddenberry since their days as LAPD officers, Ingalls did not like the changes, and the pseudonym was his wordplay on "Jesus Crucified." The Star Trek 30 Years Special Collector's Edition book notes that this episode was intended as a comment on the on-going Vietnam War. This episode marks the first of two appearances of Dr. M'Benga, who later reappeared in "That Which Survives". Nancy Kovak's startling orgasmic performance as she cures Kirk with the mako root is amazing in its blatant sensuality. The reason it got past the censors is that a bare-back washing scene for the actress had already been filmed for later in the show (this survives in the blooper reel). This was so outrageous to the censors, that the other scene looked tame by comparison and survived. Also blatantly sexual for '60s TV is Tyree's recollection of the "night of madness" he experienced with Nona. This was one of Nancy Kovak's last roles. Shortly after this, she married conductor Zubin Mehta and retired from acting. Two other hilarious sequences from this episode made the blooper reel as well: a scene in which Shatner is shot in the crotch by an arrow and Kelley removes it as Shatner howls with laughter, and another in which a young woman picnics with the mugato, complete with party hat. In the scene where Nona tries to bring the phaser to the villagers, look carefully and you will see the sprawl of Los Angeles in the background. There is also modern-day spray paint on the rocks. Janos Prohaska came through again with a nice alien creature costume in the mugato; unfortunately, nothing hid the spot where the headpiece joined the rest of the costume. This problem was solved with the Gorn in "Arena" by hiding it with pieces of the alien's clothing. The original script called the creature a "gumato", but DeForest Kelley kept saying it wrong, so it was changed. The credits still retain the original name. First draft script was completed on 30 August 1967, filmed late September, early October that same year. Footprints from the White Rabbit in "Shore Leave" are the stock footage used for the mugato prints. Ned Romero (Krell) has made his career playing Native Americans, including in TNG's Wesley Crusher send-off, "Journey's End". In contrast with most episodes, the downbeat nature of this episode of Star Trek' demanded music of the same mood. As the ship leaves Neural, just after Kirk's tired plea for Scott to "beam us up home", the music is somber and tragic, not ending with the traditional fanfare. This music is not heard at any other time in the series. This is one of only two original series episodes that features dialogue before the first-act titles, the other being "Bread and Circuses". As Kirk and McCoy fight their way out of the forge room, DeForest Kelley swings at one of the guards with one of the firearm components, but hits the rest of the stacked pieces instead of the guard! The guard drops to the ground anyway.

William Shatner hits a hanging rope as he leaps to hide behind the forge. Seconds later, when Apella and Krell enter the room, it is still swinging, but in the next shot, it is still. Leonard McCoy almost never fires a phaser in the series. "The Man Trap" and this episode are the rare exceptions. In The Return of the Archons he points his phaser at the advancing members of the Body, but no beam is emitted. Either he is merely brandishing the weapon as a threat, or the optical-effects crew forgot to add the beam. George Takei (Sulu) does not appear in this episode. An unanswered question from this episode: who was Tyree aiming at when he pointed his flintlock at Nona and Kirk? Kirk, for fooling around with his wife, or Nona, for using aphrodesiacs on Kirk? TNG's first-season episode "Too Short a Season" was conceived originally as a return to Neural by an elderly James Kirk, in an attempt to heal the planet's disintegration into civil war to which he had contributed. Shatner was either unavailable or unwilling, so the venue was changed to another planet. When the landing party is beamed up during the teaser, a piece of equipment at McCoy's feet vanishes with the landing party, but the transporter effect was not applied to it.

RETURN TO TOMORROW / El regreso al maana. Feb 9, 1968 * escrito por John Kingsbridge * dirigido por Ralph Serensky * msica de George Duning * Fecha Estelar 4768.3: La Enterprise visita un planeta que se haba considerado desde siempre inhabitado, y se encuentra con unas esferas que contienen las consciencias de los ltimos supervivientes del planeta, Sargon, Thalassa y Henoch. Los tres seres desean "poseer" los cuerpos de tripulantes de la Enterprise, dejando sus mentes temporalmente en las esferas mientras Sargon y sus compaeros usan los cuerpos humanos para construir cuerpos androides que alberguen a sus mentes. Kirk, Spock y la Dra. Mulhall acceden a la peticin, pero Henoch, que ocupa el cuerpo de Spock, tiene otros planes que no son construir un androide para l. Mientras tanto, Sargon y Thalassa, en los cuerpos de Kirk y Mulhall, vuelven a enamorarse una vez ms. De una manera u otra, sin embargo, los cuerpos humanos deben de ser "vaciados" ya que sus metabolismos son incapaces de asumir los niveles de actividad llevados a cabo por Sargon y los otros. Background Information
In the sick bay scene in Act Two, the lightbulbs inside Thalassa/Mulhall's receptacle--one blue, one green--are fairly obvious. One of the fiberglass globes later was re-used as part of the Romulan cloaking device in "The Enterprise Incident" and for M-4 in "Requiem for Methuselah". The stand for one of the globes would later be turned upside-down and be a piece of technology on Mr. Atoz's desk in "All Our Yesterdays". The preview of this episode features a different take of the scene just before Thalassa zaps McCoy. In the preview, Muldaur says "I could destroy you with one thought!" In the completed episode, she says, "I could destroy you with a single thought!" A still of Henoch (in Spock's body) leaning in the door of the workshop and smiling at Thalassa and Scott is used as the third backdrop to the end credits of "The Immunity Syndrome". That episode was produced before "Return to Tomorrow" but did not go to air until January 19, 1968. In the "Immunity Syndrome" end credits, the fifth still is a non-canonical image of an extra, apparently series regular Bill Blackburn, wearing the android make-up while dressed in a brown velour zippered top. The extra is seen in another non-canonical image, peeling the latex android make-up off of his head, in the third of the stills in the credits for "By Any Other Name". That episode had been produced only the week before "Return to Tomorrow", and aired two weeks after it, on February 23. In a clip from the second season blooper reel, the extra playing the android (Bill Blackburn) grinningly peels off his latex coating, assisted by someone (perhaps make-up artist Fred Phillips) who says, "Well, son, you wanted show business G dammit, you got it!" Another clip shows William Shatner grasping one of the globes and proclaiming, "Have no fear: Sargon is here." Yet another blooper shows Messrs. Shatner and Kelley cracking up and unable to say their lines when Diana Muldaur comes into the frame. There are interesting, if probably coincidental parallels with the first season episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" : the planet Exo III also became uninhabitable 500 000 years ago, and its survivors fled underground. And

both episodes deal with the problems of androids (how much faster Sargon and Thalassa might have embodied themselves if only they'd had that nice Exo III duplicating device!) The Old Ones of that lost world however do not seem to have any connection with Sargon's race of colonisers. It is unclear how two of Sargon's fellow travellers might have inspired the Adam and Eve myth on one part of Earth, as all colonising activity stopped before the Cataclysm. The heyday of their effort, 600 000 years ago, is the earliest estimate for the appearance of Homo heidelbergensis, an ancestor we seem to share with the speechless Neanderthals. "Dr. Ann Mulhall, Astro-Biology" should be wearing a blue science uniform not a red engineering one, and why doesn't Kirk know who she is? She's a Lieutenant Commander which makes her a senior officer. This episode is the latest in any season to feature a completely new score, this one by George Duning. Perhaps because of its late appearance in the season, it is never heard again in any subsequent episode. By the halfway point in each season, scores were generally completed using stock music from previous episodes, with occasional snippets of new music added here and there. This was George Takei's return to the series after an absence of some months filming The Green Berets. Dr. Ann Mulhall is played by Diana Muldaur, who later played the roles of Miranda Jones in "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" and Katherine Pulaski in Star Trek: The Next Generation James Doohan was the voice of Sargon. As in "Tomorrow is Yesterday", Star Trek again references the Apollo moon landing, which was still more than a year and a half away when this episode was filmed. In Act Two, Kirk chides McCoy as a piker, asking rhetorically "Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn't reached the Moon?" Of course the (Apollo 11) moon landing was not technically the first of the Apollo missions, as the production team well knew : the Apollo 1 disaster had occurred in January 1967, well before the "Return to Tomorrow" script was even submitted--and a full year before the episode was broadcast. In early November, just prior to this production, the uncrewed Apollo 6 flight tested the Saturn V launcher. Not until TOS was into its third season did humans again crew an Apollo mission (Apollo 7). Apollo 8 (and 10), which made the transit to lunar orbit, could be said to have "reached the moon", but Kirk's statement is clearly a reference to Apollo 11--the first human landing upon an alien surface.

PATTERNS OF FORCE / Patrones de fuerza. Feb 16, 1968 * escrito por John Meredyth Lucas * dirigido por Vincent McEveety * msica de George Duning * Fecha Estelar 2534.0: Al llegar a Ekos, la Enterprise resulta ser el blanco de un ataque con misiles nucleares, una tecnologa que no exista la ltima vez que una nave de la Federacin visit el planeta. Kirk y Spock se transportan a la superficie para investigar, descubriendo que el gobierno de Ekos se ha transformado en un estado policial Nazi a causa de que el profesor de la Federacin John Gill intent incrementar la eficiencia del gobierno de Ekos. Gill est ahora bajo el control de la gente a la que intent educar, y cualquiera que intente revelar la verdad sobre Gill o rescatarle, incluyendo a Kirk y Spock, se convierten en proscritos. Background Information
Because of its subject matter (specifically the use of Nazi uniforms and symbols in a manner banned by the German Constitution), this episode was withheld from broadcast by the German station that aired TOS, as large segments of the episode were technically illegal. Austrian state-owned TV, on the other hand, did broadcast it, although untranslated with German subtitles (translation of the other episodes was done in Germany and bought by Austrian TV stations). Southernmost Germany in range of Austrian TV broadcast thus could watch the episode. In Germany a translated version was aired in 1999, but only late at night on pay-TV (as well as a home video release). Military enthusiasts have frequently pointed out that there are numerous costuming mistakes in this episode, with Nazi military characters wearing uniforms that do not correspond with their ranks in dialogue. Eneg's name is an inside joke -- it is "Gene" backwards. The name "Zeon" is a take on "Zion", while "Abrom" corresponds to "Abraham", "Davod" to "David", "Isak" to "Isaac" and "Daras" reversed is almost "Sara." The headquarters of the Nazi Party in this episode are the redecorated offices of Paramount Pictures during the 60s, including the building where Lucille Ball ran Desilu. When the SS Major is questioning Kirk and Spock, right before they enter the Headquarters building, you can see an air conditioner on one of the windows behind the Major. V-2 rocket footage from World War II Germany is used in the newscast showing Ekosian missiles.

No stardate is logged in the episode. Bjo Trimble gave it a stardate of 2534.0 in her Star Trek Concordance, apparently using an earlier script version. This episode was filmed in early December 1967. This is the second mention of Nazi Germany in Star Trek. The first time the Nazis are mentioned was in the TOS episode "The City on the Edge of Forever". The theme is reprised in later shows, first on VOY: "The Killing Game", where Hirogen take over Voyager and use the holodeck to recreate Nazi Germany and then in ENT: "Zero Hour", and "Storm Front", when agents from the Temporal Cold War sent Captain Archer and the Enterprise NX back to World War II. In a change from the stock explosions used throughout the second season, an animated nuclear blast was created for this episode. The attacking V-2 rocket on the viewscreen of Enterprise is reused footage of the Orion ship from "Journey to Babel". The underground area is the same set as was used for "Devil in the Dark". In one of the (stock) news footage scenes a car with Adolf Hitler accompanied by soldiers is used to represent John Gill as the Fhrer on planet Ekos. Star Trek 12 contains a novelization of this story by James Blish and J.A. Lawrence.

Los aliengenas se hacen sin problemas con el control de la nave, reduciendo a todo el personal, excepto a Kirk, Spock, McCoy y Scotty, en una especie de cubos deshidratados para que las reservas de comida y oxgeno de la nave puedan ser usadas por los secuestradores y los oficiales de Kirk durante el largo viaje de 300 aos hacia Andrmeda.

Inicialmente vemos a los dos personajes jugando ajedrez y conversando, pero la escena luego cambia a un acercamiento a las caras de ambos personajes mientras hablan. Cuando Spock dice la frase "Parece que el Capitn Kirk la encuentra muy atractiva" parece que estuviera pensando acerca de algo, pero no dice nada. Debe ser telepata, no?. Background Information
The title is part of a quotation used in the episode, from Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene ii. "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." It is often used to convey the idea that although you can change the name of something, its nature will remain the same. In this case, the Kelvans become human; in doing so, they must start behaving as humans do. It is in their nature to do so. A bit of trivia from this episode was revisited in TNG: "Relics". In that episode, too, the drink served is unidentified by the server, with Data repeating Scotty's line that it is "green." Captain Picard later informs Scotty that it is Aldebaran whiskey. A close listen to Scotty's slurred description of the bottle he shows to Tomar suggests Scotty might have known the name before this episode, only to forget it later as the possible result of binge drinking. Captain Kirk, remarking in amazement to the Kelvan's propulsion abilities, commented that an intergalactic voyage by a 23rd century starship would take "thousands of years" to reach the Andromeda Galaxy; this in comparison to the three century voyage made by the Kelvans. However, a century later as seen in TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before", Federation technology has now apparently matched the Kelvans when it is discussed that a return trip to the Milky Way from the Triangulum Galaxy would take three hundred years at maximum warp.

Scotty's quarters are seen only in this episode. Decorations include drafting tools, a tartan kilt, bagpipes and medieval armor. Unusually for TOS, direct references to two previous episodes are made. At Rojan's mention of the Galactic barrier, Kirk says "We've been there." (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before") Later, Kirk recalls their imprisonment on Eminiar VII and Spock's use of his mind-meld to fool the guards. (TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon") According to David Gerrold, the writers could not figure out how the Kelvans could eliminate the crew. While in Roddenberry's office, someone spotted a Mexican onyx dodecahedron on his desk and suggested that they be transformed into objects of that shape. In the teaser, although the Enterprise crew is supposed to be frozen, Kirk is quite plainly blinking and rolling his eyes. George Takei (Sulu) does not appear in this episode. This is the tenth consecutive episode in which he is absent. But he returns to the series in the next episode to be produced, "Return to Tomorrow". Although Kirk tells Charles Evans "There's no right way to hit a woman", (TOS: "Charlie X") this episode and "The Gamesters of Triskelion" are two in which he knocks females out with a physical blow (in this instance with a karate chop to the neck). This was the only episode lensed by cinematographer Keith Smith. Crewman Thompson's death and Julie Cobbs' portrayal of that character is referenced in the cooking show Good Eats! hosted by Alton Brown. The cooking show makes occasional references to Star Trek, especially The Original Series.

Again the Enterprise visits another parallel-Earth world in this episode. Other divergent Earth-world episodes include "Miri" and "Bread and Circuses". This is the second of three times the Enterprise encounters another Constitution-class starship with the entire crew dead. The other two were in "The Doomsday Machine" and "The Tholian Web". It is learned that the Exeter had a standard complement of four shuttlecraft. During the search for survivors, Galloway informed Kirk that "all four of the craft" were still on the hangar deck. Whether all Constitution-class vessels were equipped with that number of shuttles is not made clear. Roy Jensen's voice was electronically altered for this episode. In the preview for the episode, you will hear unaltered dialogue for Cloud William that doesn't have the "slowed down" effect. Fred Steiner arranged the "Star-Spangled Banner" motifs for this episode. The Yang women's navels are clearly in view in this episode, showing how inconsistent NBC's Broadcast Standards department was in applying the prohibitions regarding on-screen belly buttons. This inconsistent application may have led to a continuity error in this episode. Note that when Spock applies the Vulcan nerve pinch on Sirah in the jail cell, she collapses onto the floor with her belly button fully exposed and her hands away from her torso. When Cloud William approaches her, Sirah has one hand covering her belly button. We learn in this episode that it is possible to teach the Vulcan nerve pinch to a human, if that human manifests the proper aptitudes of concentration. Fighting Cloud William and Sirah in his cell, Kirk expresses his appreciation for the neutralization of Sirah by Spock with the pinch whispering: "You should teach me that sometimes". Spock answers patiently: "I have tried".

Identical female screams are heard in this episode, "A Private Little War" and "The Gamesters of Triskelion". This is the first time the chief medical officer of a Federation starship (in this case, the doomed Dr. Carter) is seen in command of a vessel. Not until Dr. Beverly Crusher was placed in command of the USS Enterprise-D in "Descent, Part II" would another doctor be seen in command of their ship. (Dr. Crusher was technically in command in "Remember Me" when she was the only crewmember left, however, since it wasn't the real Enterprise, it cannot be counted.) Despite Lt. Galloway's demise in this episode, David L. Ross would return as Lt. Johnson in a third season episode, and then he would return again reprising the role of Galloway. No explanation was given for the resurrection. Galloway's pointless death in this episode is particularly sad when you consider that in his previous appearance he was picking up tribbles. According to Ross in the unauthorized biography of William Shatner, Gene Roddenberry wanted him to appear regularly in the series, but Ross was not interested in this much acting. Ed McCready makes yet another appearance on Star Trek as the ill-fated Dr. Carter. McCready appeared numerous times in all three seasons of the show in short bit roles. Dr. Carter was originally going to be shown dissolving oncamera. This episode was written by Roddenberry after he had been to Washington, DC. Apparently, he was so moved by the US Constitution, as well as other artifacts from early American history, he wanted an episode to reflect American pride, yet at the same time look at how things could have turned out if the Cold War, which was still going on at the time, had gone badly for the world. This was one of three draft stories considered for the second pilot of the series, first draft 7 June 1965. The other unchosen draft was "Mudd's Women". "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was the script that was eventually picked. "Omega" was filmed in middle and late December 1967. Check out the Kohm guarding Dr. McCoy. This actor can be seen in green coveralls in "The Man Trap", both in the corridor and in the turbolift, and as one of the miners in "The Devil in the Dark". He can also be seen extensively as a background character in many episodes of Kung Fu and Hawaii Five-O. While analyzing the crystals into which the Exeter's crew have dissolved, McCoy says that we are all about 96% water. The actual figure is closer to 70%. James Doohan (Scotty) does not appear in this episode. Chekov does not appear in this episode. Ron Tracey is excellent in personal combat. Although Kirk will vanquish him in the final climactic battle, in his escape attempt in Act Two, Tracey easily and completely trounces Kirk in a matter of seconds. This is impressive work by Morgan Woodward, with no stunt double used. Tracey obliterates Spock's jury-rigged communicator and Spock falls unconscious. In the footage following, it appears that Kirk is performing CPR on him. A letter reprinted in Inside Star Trek: The Real Story reveals that Roddenberry personally submitted his teleplay for consideration for an Emmy Award. Another McCoy-Spock debate was filmed for this episode, but edited. Just before the landing party left the Yangs' flag room, Kirk cut short an argument that seems to be about nothing. The reason McCoy and Spock were in an argument was cut from the episode. The dialogue excised from the final print was as follows (taken from the final draft shooting script for the episode): McCoy: Jim, the parallel's too close. They seem so completely Human. Is it possible that... ? Kirk: The result of Earth's early space race? Spock: Quite possible, Captain. They are aggressive enough to be Human. McCoy: Now listen, Spock, you... One apparent continuity error has the Enterprise security team at the end of the episode beaming down and then beaming up again without staying long enough to acquire immunity to the virus. However, as they are not seen immediately beaming up, one can assume that they knew enough to stay down for a while. A fairly lengthy scene from the final shooting script was edited from the final print of this episode. Soon after the landing party arrived on Omega IV, Kirk directly confronted Tracey about the possibility of his having violated the Prime Directive and Tracey attempted to defend his actions. Tracey also displayed open hostility towards Spock during this scene, revealing his dislike of Vulcans. James Blish does write up the scene in his adaptation of the episode in Star Trek 10.

The space station is reused footage of Deep Space Station K-7 from "The Trouble with Tribbles". The automated freighter on the viewscreen is reused footage of SS Botany Bay from "Space Seed". The crippled Excalibur is reused footage of the Constellation from "The Doomsday Machine". Sean Morgan also played Lt. O'Neil in the Original Series. Barry Russo had previously portrayed Commander Giotto in TOS: "The Devil in the Dark". D.C. Fontana and the story conceptualist intended this episode as a comment on the increased mechanization that was costing traditional jobs in the United States as the 60s drew to a close. Great music by George Duning, composed for "Metamorphosis", is re-used as Kirk again romanticizes about being on a tall ship sailing the sea. In "Balance of Terror" he had wished he was on a long sea voyage. This episode contradicts "The Menagerie, Part I" and "The Menagerie, Part II" which stated the only death penalty in the Federation was visiting Talos IV. Here the M5 claims the penalty for murder is also death. The three scanning heads on the large device used to hook up the M-5 appear to be a re-use of the disrupter weapons seen in "A Taste of Armageddon". The prop itself was later dubbed a trident scanner. This episode was filmed in mid-December 1967. The shots of the task force are simple insets of the Enterprise optically printed to create the illusion of various 'distances'. The sequences were apparently re-printed from one source, which it resulted in the ships' running lights blinking in unison. The 20th century Earth poem Kirk quotes to McCoy is Sea-Fever by John Masefield. Masefield had just passed away on 12 May 1967, the same year this episode was filmed. The same verse would be quoted again in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Fifteen of the 20 crew members who remained aboard the Enterprise during its M-5 tests can be accounted for: Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scott, Sulu, Chekov, Uhura, Harper, astrobiologist Phillips, geologists Rollins and Carstairs, Leslie and Lemli (the two security guards who escort the unconscious Daystrom from the bridge), Brent and an unnamed medical technician seen at Daystrom's bedside in sickbay. A similarly titled 1965 episode of The Man From UNCLE - "The Ultimate Computer Affair" - guest-starred Roger C. Carmel. This episode marks one of four times Kirk is able to "discuss a computer to death". This skill is also used in "The Changeling", "The Return of the Archons", and "I, Mudd".

Gene Roddenberry and Gene L. Coon wrote this episode's teleplay from a story by playwright & television writer John Kneubuhl. However, Roddenberry and Coon received sole writing credit for the episode. There is a lot of subtle humor in this show. Fake applause and catcalls are used to simulate a studio audience, the race for high television ratings is lampooned several times. The TV station manager threatens the now-pacifist runaway slave that he had better fight convincingly: "You bring this station's ratings down, Flavius, and we'll do a special on you!" Later, the Proconsul sneers at Kirk about the Captain's impending death, to be televised from the arena, by telling Kirk that "You're centuries beyond anything as crude as. . .television." Kirk replies, "I've heard it was. . .similar," an oblique reference to the series' own ratings difficulties. After Kirk spends some time with Drusilla, he wryly tells McCoy and Spock, "They threw me a few curves." There are also sardonic digs at 20thcentury air pollution ("The word was smog!") There has been speculation that Gene Roddenberry was commenting on his own frustrations in dealing with network officials as he tried to keep his series on the air. William Shatner mugs for the camera repeatedly in his two scenes with Lois Jewell, indicating some satisfaction with his co-star and the writers. When Drusilla pronounces herself Kirk's to command, he throws a glance over his shoulder to see if he's being watched; stopping directly at the camera, and not the guarded door he just came through. Later, sitting at a table sampling Drusilla's fruit, he audibly bursts a grape when his eyes meet the camera, pausing with a brief flash of the eyes. After "I'm ordered to please you." Shatner gives two final, more furtive glances to the camera. This episode has a powerful McCoy-Spock confrontation in which McCoy figures out that Spock has great insecurity that he might let his emotionless facade crack and that a human face might reveal itself. Both men then acknowledge that they are united in their worry about the captain. Voice-over artist Bartell LaRue makes one of two on-camera appearances in the series in this episode. The other is in "Patterns of Force". Before Flavius, Kirk, Spock and McCoy are captured by the imperial police, you can see the explosive charges in the trees above their heads that would be used to show the coming machine gun fire. The Roman Gods Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune are all mentioned in the episode, called "false gods" by Septimus. That the Roman planet has gods based on Greek mythology, who are identified in "Who Mourns for Adonais?" as ancient aliens, is not explained in the episode other than it is a part of the parallel Rome society. The Roman planet is revisited in the novel "The Captains' Honor" set 100 years after the encounter by the original Enterprise crew. The novel details how the alternate Rome conquered their world and explains that, 100 years after the events of "Bread and Circuses", the Romans have now achieved space flight, warp drive, and are on a technological par with the Federation. The caves where the Children of the Son hide out are one of the most-used locations in television and movies. In addition to being the entrance to the Batcave, they are also seen in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", "Kung Fu" and hundreds of police and western shows. They are located right below the famous Hollywood sign. This is one of only two TOS episodes featuring dialogue before the title of the episode appears on-screen. The other episode is "A Private Little War". Merik's ship, the SS Beagle, is most likely named after the ship on which Charles Darwin sailed when he began forming his theory of evolution by natural selection. This name may have been chosen because of the "survival of the fittest" nature of gladiatorial combat, although Darwin himself did not coin the phrase, and actually found it misleading. Alternatively, the name could be a reference to A. E. VanVogt's novel, Voyage of the Space Beagle. Many hilarious sequences from this episode made the blooper reel: Jack Perkins had a line which was supposed to read, "If they refuse to move out on cue, skewer them." but instead said, "Screw them!", breaking everyone up. Ted Cassidy appeared out of nowhere dressed as Injun Joe from his work on The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and carried Shatner off just before he was going to machine-gun the lock of Spock and McCoy's cell. While he was being carried, Shatner yelled out "Hey, I don't know about you, but this is not the way it should work! I want you to know!" As the police closed in on the landing party after they escape their cell, one of the extras slipped and fell, causing uproarious laughter on the set. This is the reason there is a quick cut before the policemen reach the main corridor.

George Takei (Sulu) does not appear in this episode, because of shooting "The Green Berets" at the time. This is the only TOS episode in which it is explicitly stated that people are speaking in English, as Spock points out that it is the language of the Roman Empire on this planet. This may be because the concept of universal

translators and how they function was not firmly established, although it may have been an attempt to simultaneously add credibility (i.e. Spock is surprised that he and his crew can quickly pick up on what a local population is saying) and further cement the parallel with the United States that was the backbone of the episode's social commentary. Look at Proconsul Marcus' insignia: instead of having a Roman symbol (Romulus & Remus over a shield with SPQR) he is wearing the coat of arms of the English playwright William Shakespeare! The term Bread and Circuses came about in ancient Rome, appropriately enough. It refers to the Emperor's distribution of free grain and providing entertainment in the Coliseum to pacify the unemployed Roman masses. Many of them were impoverished farmers who had lost their land after serving in the legions and wound up in the city, a dispossessed proletariat. Claudius' dismissive line to Merik ("The thoughts of one man to another could not possibly interest you!") is fraught with multiple meanings. It might convey that Claudius is disgusted with the First Citizen because he sold out his crew by allowing them to die in the arena. Or Claudius may be signaling that Kirk is more of a man than Merik because he, unlike the SS Beagle captain, is willing to die for his beliefs. It might even be a reference to Merik's possible unspoken homosexualitya common sexual predilection of ancient noble Romans. Whether by coincidence or intent, this particular show originally aired appropriately enough on the Ides of March, 1968. The automatic weapons that the Roman guards wield are Danish Madsen m/50 submachine guns. One of the shots of the city (during minute 18) is of the Great Dome at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The words can be read (somewhat) above the pillars. In a heretofore unrecognized example of two different characters having the same name in a single episode, the primary "Claudius Marcus" is the proconsul, while the other "Claudius Marcus" was mentioned as the gladiator who slew William B. Harrison, the "last" of the barbarians.

The plot concept of beneficial aliens secretively helping earthlings, as opposed to the much more common "villain aliens" scenarios, was later resurrected by Roddenberry for his The Questor Tapes movie. According to the Star Trek Compendium, the first draft script (dated 20 December 1967) had the Enterprise bridge crew watching an episode of Bonanza on the view screen. The scene of Scotty beaming Gary Seven on board is taken from "The Enemy Within". Colonel Gary Seven is the only known humanoid to have ever manifested insensitivity to a Vulcan nerve pinch. This is the only episode of Star Trek in which time travel is treated as "routine". The Temporal Prime Directive doesn't seem to have been created yet. Gary Seven's Beta 5 computer contains many components from the M-5 in "The Ultimate Computer". It was recycled yet again for "All Our Yesterdays".

In a sad prediction, just after this episode was aired there was indeed an important assassination, that of Martin Luther King on April 4, 1968. The coincidence goes beyond King's assassination: Spock mentions that the same day the US is launching an orbital nuclear warhead platform there will also be an important assassination. The missile shown in the episode is actually stock footage of the launch of Apollo 4, the first unmanned test of a Saturn V. Less than a week after the episode's first airing Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated the same day as the launch of Apollo 6, the second unmanned test of a Saturn V. Spock's other "prediction" of a government coup in Asia did not happen that day. Watch for William Blackburn as a rocket control room technician in this episode, one of the few times he is seen out of a Starfleet uniform. An extremely interesting effect is used for the transporter as Seven is beamed aboard for the first time slow motion flames can be seen behind the opaque back wall of the chamber. This was probably created using a rear projection. Robert Lansing (Gary Seven) is the only Star Trek: The Original Series guest star whose credit appears after the opening credits instead of during the end credits. This episode takes place entirely in 1968, with no scenes in the 23rd century. Along with ENT: "Storm Front" (which takes place in 1944), this is one of only two Star Trek episodes based entirely in the 20th century. The Enterprise doors behave very strangely in this episode: in TNG: "In Theory", Data once claimed that the doors were programmed to only respond to Humanoid signatures, but on two occasions do they open for Isis the cat. Interestingly, they don't open all the way, just about a foot, for her to fit through. Teri Garr had a very unpleasant time filming this episode, perhaps stemming from Gene Roddenberry's involvement in decisions regarding her costume, specifically the length of her skirt. The hem was taken up so much it became very distorted. In interviews since, she has refused to talk about 'Star Trek' in any way. The events of this episode, which take place in 1968, occurred (from the point of view from the Enterprise crew) over a year before those of "Tomorrow is Yesterday" which take place in 1969. The rocket storage buildings at the Rocket base were studio buildings on the Paramount lot, with NASA footage of Apollo rockets matted in above them. In a wonderful attention to detail, Launch Director Cromwell's car matches the car seen in one of the stock footage sequences. The address of Gary Seven's headquarters isn't that far from the fictional address of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, who also lived on East 68th Street. 811 East 68th Street is an address that only exists in Brooklyn, NY at this time.

301. SPOCK'S BRAIN / El cerebro de Spock. Sep 20, 1968 * escrito por Lee Cronin * dirigido por Marc Daniels * msica de Fred Steiner * Fecha Estelar 5431.4: La Enterprise es interceptada por una nave de diseo desconocido y una mujer de la misma se transporta directamente al puente y usa un artefacto para dejar a la tripulacin inconsciente. Luego avanza hacia Spock... Cuando la tripulacin despierta, McCoy le pide a Kirk vaya a la enfermera y le informa que la visitante aliengena aparentemente ha extrado el cerebro de Spock si emplear ciruga. Despus de que se le instale al cuerpo de Spock un instrumento que permite a McCoy controlar las funciones motoras del Vulcano con un control remoto, Kirk comienza la bsqueda del cerebro de Spock, esperando que pueda ser recuperado y de alguna forma devuelto a Spock antes de que su cuerpo se colapse. Background Information
Story outline 22 April 1968, filmed in mid-July. This episode was the third season premiere. This was the last episode to be directed by regular Trek director Marc Daniels. Writer 'Lee Cronin' is a pseudonym of former writer/producer Gene L. Coon. This is the only time in the series a rear-projected, moving image is placed on the view screen. This allows the actors to walk in front of it and adds realism. In all other episodes, if there is not an image matted into the view screen, then the screen is blank or contains a painted, static star field.

Nurse Chapel's collapse to the floor was recycled in "The Way to Eden". Although it is nice to see Sulu in command and recording his only log entry in TOS, he calls the planet Sigma Draconis VII in said entry. The shot of Sulu in the command chair was recycled from "The Omega Glory." It is not only Sulu who is at fault. In his "Captain's Log" down on Sigma Draconis VI, Kirk refers to it as Sigma Draconis VII. Scotty is seen wearing the same black utility belt as security when they beam down to the planet, the only other crew who ever wore it. The score for this episode (by Fred Steiner and recorded on 26 August 1968) was re-used to great effect in later episodes during the playback of Kirk's final message in "The Tholian Web" and Kirk's dramatic return in the transporter room in the same episode, for example. The battle music from this episode would later score Kirk and Kang's sword fight in "Day of the Dove" Westheimer Effects created the unique glaciated planet seen from orbit in this episode. This episode is lovingly spoofed in an episode of "The Wonder Years," as well as being featured in the motion picture Taps. This episode is referenced in the Semisonic song "Never You Mind" from the album Feeling Strangely Fine. Marj Dusay believed that this was one of the favorite episodes of the fans for many years. She was in for a surprise when she began doing convention appearances. The story for this episode bears striking resemblance to a story called "The Cybernetic Brains" by Raymond F. Jones, published as a novella in Startling Stories (September 1950) and later as a novel by Avalon Books (1962). In Jones's story, scientists are being prematurely killed so that their brains can be connected to a vast computer network that helps maintain the Welfare State.

THE ENTERPRISE INCIDENT / El incidente Enterprise. Sep 27, 1968 * escrito por D.C.

Naves de guerra romulanas (idnticas a las naves klingon debido a un intercambio de tecnologa), capturan a la Enterprise y Kirk y Spock se transportan a la nave insignia romulana. Cuando Spock admite que Kirk puede ser no apto para el mando, el Capitn provoca a Spock, recibiendo como respuesta una "pinza mortal Vulcaniana". Kirk, vivo en realidad, es transportado de vuelta a la Enterprise y les revela a McCoy y Scotty que su verdadera misin es robar uno de los dispositivos de camuflaje romulanos y escapar intactos. Background Information
This is the second and final appearance of Romulan characters in TOS. Unlike in "Balance of Terror", these Romulans don't wear black gloves. Although long thought otherwise, from the very first draft, the script had the Romulans using Klingon ships. The series had a lot of money invested in the Klingon model and needed to get its money's worth. The rumor among Star Trek fans for many years was that the Romulan Bird-of-Prey model was damaged, causing the producers to use the Klingon ship in its place. Although it is believed to be in a private collection, the actual whereabouts of the Bird-of-Prey model remains a mystery to this day. The Romulans have improved their cloaking system since "Balance of Terror" and "The Deadly Years". In the former, Spock refers to it as an "invisibility screen" that can mask a Bird-of-Prey's appearance, but not its motion. In "The Enterprise Incident," the cloaking device now renders a ship undetectable while moving, and not even the Romulans themselves can track a vessel so equipped. This episode was originally aired before "Elaan of Troyius" so when the audience first saw the Klingon ships, they were being used by Romulans. D.C. Fontana's initial inspiration for this story was the capture of an American patrol boat by North Korean forces during the Vietnam War, the Pueblo Incident.

The doors aboard the Romulan flagship make the same "shhh-thwop" sound effect as the doors aboard the Enterprise. Originally, Spock was supposed to kiss the Romulan Commander (the first draft script describes Spock as "raining kisses on every square inch above the shoulder"), but both Nimoy and Linville agreed they needed something different than normal "Human" love expressions, and suggested the hand contact instead. Nimoy, in fact, wrote a long letter of complaint to Gene Roddenberry about this issue. In Star Trek Lives, Dorothy Fontana tells how she attempted to warn Roddenberry about fan reactions if Spock were to behave out of character. She insisted that Nimoy was right, that the pair's interactions should suggest "an alien sexuality, but not Human passion". Even with Nimoy and Linville's restrained gestural contact, Fontana was flooded with letters from fans. Aware of the pon farr and believing it meant Vulcans had sex only once in seven years (Ted Sturgeon's original idea), they complained that the scene was out of character. Years later, Fontana wrote sex scenes into Vulcan's Glory, establishing that the pon farr is only a fertility cycle but that Vulcans can have sex anytime. The Romulans use Klingon sonic disruptor pistols, undoubtedly so the production could save money by not having to build new props. The Klingon bridge set is reused from "Elaan of Troyius." Romulans refer to their bridge as "Control Central." The Romulan cloaking device prop consists of part of Nomad's head and a globe from "Return to Tomorrow". The Matt Jefferies-designed Romulan symbol, composed of a yellow hexagon in the center with three colored spokes coming out of it, can be seen outside the Commander's quarters, above her door. This symbol was purposefully made to resemble the Klingon insignia, because in the visual effects shots of the ships you can somewhat discern the Klingon markings. This symbol never appears again in any Star Trek series or movie. The "forbidden corridor" on the Romulan flagship, which leads to the cloaking device room, is only a short jaunt down the hallway from the Commander's quarters. However, when Kirk (disguised as a Romulan) is seeking access to the cloaking device, he traverses a corridor that appears to be the same one the Commander and Spock used earlier, only this time, the Romulan emblem does not appear over the door to what should be the Commander's quarters. It must be inferred, therefore, that many similar corridors lead to the cloaking device room, and Kirk was using a different one. Deflector shields are conveniently forgotten throughout this episode so that Kirk can easily "sneak" on and off the Romulan flagship via transporter. Moreover, the Romulans don't detect him doing so. This episode features one of the longest turbolift rides in TOS, covering a distance of only one deck. When Spock is escorting the Romulan Commander to her guest quarters from the bridge, he announces "Deck 2" and the turbolift starts moving. They proceed to have a lengthy conversation before they arrive at their destination, only one deck below. During the briefing room scene in the first act, during what's presumably a department heads' meeting to determine a course of action, in addition to Capt. Kirk, Cmdr. Spock, Lt. Cmdr. McCoy and Lt. Cmdr. Scott, two unknown characters include a command division lieutenant commander and an unknown operations division commander. Until this time, and except for Commander Giotto in "The Devil in the Dark", Spock was the only known commander commissioned on board the Enterprise. The operations-division commander may have been the security chief. Perhaps these were advisors sent along by Star Fleet on this delicate mission to offer assistance or advice to Kirk. The red commander's shirt was probably first worn by Giotto in "The Devil in the Dark" (even though his given rank was lieutenant commander). The gold lieutenant commander's shirt was probably Lang's from "Arena". Actor Mike Howden's distinctive brogue gives him away as the fellow who played Lieutenant Rowe in "I, Mudd". Here, he's the unfortunate Romulan who's guarding the "forbidden corridor" when Kirk shows up. In the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, author Larry Nemecek reports that actor Joanne Linville was approached to reprise her role as the Romulan Commander in "Face of the Enemy". Unfortunately, she was unavailable, and the role went to Carolyn Seymour. Although not canon, it is generally assumed that the blue liquid Spock and the Romulan Commander drink is Romulan ale. The Romulan console that holds the cloaking device had been used before in "I, Mudd") and was used again in "Whom Gods Destroy". Other tidbits from Fontana's first draft script, dated 7 June 1968: It is explicitly stated that the Romulans have an "improved" undetectable version of the cloaking device. Both Kirk and McCoy are disguised as Romulans and steal the cloaking device. Kirk's comment that the report of his death was exaggerated is an allusion to Mark Twain responding to an early obituary. Jean-Luc Picard makes a similar comment in TNG: "Samaritan Snare" and in Star Trek: First Contact (though, he replaces death with assimilation).

303. THE PARADISE SYNDROME / Sndrome del paraso. Oct 4, 1968 * escrito por Margaret Armen * dirigido por Jud Taylor * msica de Gerald Fried * Fecha Estelar 4842.6: Kirk, Spock y McCoy se transportan a un planeta para informar a sus habitantes de que deben evacuar el planeta debido a la inminente colisin con un asteroide que se acerca. Una sociedad similar a los Indios Nativos Americanos puebla el planeta, pero cerca de sus poblados, el equipo de salida descubre un extrao obelisco cuyo diseo est muy lejos de las capacidades de los nativos del planeta. Kirk descubre que el monolito puede ser abiero por la combinacin de sonidos que se encuentran en la orden "Kirk a Enterprise",pero cuando entra en el obelisco, es atacado por ondas de energa que borran su mente. Sin tiempo que perder, Spock y McCoy tienen que volver a la Enterprise sin Kirk, y empezar a intentar usar el rayo tractor de la nave para desviar el asteroide. Mientras tanto, Kirk se convierte en el jefe de la tribu, toma una esposa y hasta espera convertirse en padre, y quizas la Enterprise sea incapaz de salvar el futuro de su antiguo capitn. Background Information
Although not mentioned on screen, the planet in this episode, according to the script, was called Amerind. The stunning obelisk was built especially for this episode. The lake featured in this episode is the Franklin Reservoir above Los Angeles. It has been featured in hundreds of westerns and police shows, but is most famous as the fishin' hole in the opening credits for The Andy Griffith Show. Other than the street sword fight in "All Our Yesterdays", this was the only episode with outdoor shooting in the entire third season. Budget constraints caused severe cuts in location money, hiring of extras to populate the ship's corridors and Matt Jefferies' set designs. The fact the third season episodes look as good as they do is a tribute to the ingenuity of the dedicated crew of the series, despite their knowledge that the series would end in 1969. Although only seen in the distance in a couple of shots, the little village on the far shore of the lake included some realistic details the people can be seen working on canoes. Several unique visual effects are used in this episode in the forced perspective engine set, as Scotty's "bairns" are put under a great deal of stress. The memory beam that hits Kirk has a modified Enterprise door sound in it (on the remastered DVDs - the original print has no sound effect for the beam at all). John Lindesmith had previously appeared as the helmsman in Charlie X. The original script had Miramanee surviving with Kirk's child. Only in this episode do we see the ship firing its gold deflector beam. The asteroid would be recycled later as the Yonada. McCoy admits to Spock that he was wrong to blame him for the failure to destroy the asteroid, in another classic Spock-McCoy exchange. Gerald Fried contributes a unique score in this episode, complete with more Spock bass music and peaceful guitars for the scenes on Amerind. Several months pass over the time of this episode, making it by far the longest time period in a single episode of the original series. One of the details to denote this time passage was to change the shape of Kirk's sideburns. If you look carefully, you can see the pointed sideburns under the added hair. If you look very closely, in the scene where Miramanee announces her pregnancy, you can see a fly land on Kirk's face for a few seconds. Uhura is not on the bridge in this episode, but stock footage from "And the Children Shall Lead" places her there for a moment. This is the second time in three episodes that Spock performs a mind-meld on Kirk, but the results this time are most interesting. During the first attempt to deflect the asteroid we are treated to a rare top shot of the Enterprise The idea of a race that leaves beacons for primitive races is reminiscent of the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was released in April of the same year (1968).

A bordo de la Enterprise, los chicos comienzan poco a poco a influir y tomar el control de las mentes de los tripulantes como parte del plan de su "angel de la guarda", un aparentemente aliengena benevolente llamado Gorgon que utiliza a los chicos para extender sus influencias, y a menos que pude encontrar una manera de exponer las verdaderas intenciones de Gorgon, Kirk se convertir en un prisionero en su propia nave. Background Information
The recreation room in this episode was created at great expense and never used again, except in re-dressed form as the arboretum in "Is There in Truth No Beauty?". A scene had been filmed in the room for "Elaan of Troyius", but it was cut from the episode. Roddenberry had plans to create the first holodeck in Star Trek during the third season and to place it in this new set, however, with the problems encountered in the final year, these plans never materialized. Brian Tochi, along with Phil and Iona Morris in "Miri" and Clint Howard in "The Corbomite Maneuver", is one of a very few actors who appeared in TOS as a child and was later cast in one of the new series or movies. Tochi and Pamelyn Ferdin were later reunited on the '70s Saturday show Space Academy. Spock's playback of the children's chant at the end of the episode apparently comes from their chant in the recreation room. The children perform the chant only one other time on screen (on the bridge), but they use "Hi, Hi" instead of "Hail, Hail" as the first words in that version. This is the only episode in which we see the United Federation of Planets flag. It is never explained how Kirk knew the alien, played by Melvin Belli, by the name of Gorgan. The entrance to the Gorgan's cave is seen again in many third season episodes, including "Spock's Brain", "The Cloud Minders", "All Our Yesterdays" and "That Which Survives". In the trailer, footage of Gorgan's transformation at the end of the episode is seen without the "green light bath" special effects. In this episode, two redshirts are beamed into space. For years this episode was never seen in syndication in Dallas, Texas. The station that aired the series was KXTXTV, owned by Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). Apparently someone (perhaps Robertson) at CBN felt the "friendly angel" was something that shouldn't be seen on a Christian television station.
(citation needed - edit)

During one scene on the bridge, Kirk tries to give orders to Mr. Leslie, but his words are garbled. If the audio for this scene is played in reverse, Kirk can be heard to say, "Remove Lieutenant Uhura and Mr. Spock from the bridge. Confine them to quarters. Did you hear me? Take Mr. Sulu to his quarters. He's relieved of duty. Remove Lieutenant Uhura and Mr. Spock from the bridge. Take Mr. Sulu to his quarters. [Garbled] Mr. Spock from the bridge. Confine him to quarters. Mr. Leslie, take Mr. Sulu to his quarters." Professor Starnes and his colleagues apparently were of stronger constitutions than the members of the Enterprise crew who were affected by the Gorgan and/or the children. Starnes said he had requested a transport ship, presumably to remove his entire party to Marcos XII, but then couldn't remember what he wanted to transport. Thus, his request was apparently denied, proving Spock's observation that Starnes had finally recognized the Gorgan and begun fighting its influence.

Background Information
The Vulcan IDIC was inserted into the script and into the episode at the behest of Gene Roddenberry, who wanted to sell the prop as an item at his Lincoln Enterprises. Nimoy, Shatner, and others were outraged at this, but the IDIC symbol was used under protest anyway. Ralph Senensky's excellent direction includes extensive use of wide-angle lenses to capture the madness of Spock and Marvick in bizarre ways. George Duning again contributes an excellent musical score. Use of a weird-sounding organ accentuates the strange nature of Kollos. Leonard Nimoy was able to portray other beings on numerous occasions through mind melds, but his performance here is really amazing, imparting Kollos' childlike wonderment at the senses of humanoids, our communication medium, and our separateness from one another, as well as his disappointment at having to dissolve the link so soon. The dining room has pictures of exotic planets on its walls. These will show up in Kirk's quarters in other thirdseason episodes. According to the Star Trek 30th anniversary book, Mike Minor painted these scenes. At the end of the dining room scene, Kirk drinks the last of his glass of Antarean brandy only to have it half full again seconds later. The arboretum is a re-dress of the recreation room, seen only in "And the Children Shall Lead". Actually, it is generally "assumed" that this is the arboretum. On entering, Kirk says, "I may be sentimental, but this is my favorite place: Earth" possibly indicating that this is Roddenberry's half-hearted attempt at introducing a "holography area," for which he had plans during the third season. However, since Kirk gives Dr. Jones a nonholographic red rose at the end of the episode, indications are strong that the room was not a projection. Matt Jefferies designed the box that held Ambassador Kollos. In a precursor to La Forge's VISOR in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Miranda Jones wears a "highly sophisticated" sensor web to gather information about her surroundings and disguise her blindness. Larry Marvick was one of the designers of the Enterprise. Scotty's joy at meeting one of his ship's creators leads him to hand the controls over to Marvick during his madness. This episode has many complexities that leave the viewer thinking long afterward. What did Marvick mean when he said Miranda had "brought it" with her to engineering? Did Miranda purposely make Spock forget the visor? Why did she say that healing Spock meant life or death for both of them? Each viewer can interpret these incidents in their own way. Shots of the Enterprise in the galactic void and barrier are partially new shots and partially recycled from "Where No Man Has Gone Before". After Kirk confronts Dr. Jones in sickbay, watch Diana Muldaur trying to keep from laughing by biting her lip. This was Eddie Paskey's last appearance in the series. He suffered a back injury on the bridge during the fight with Spock/Kollos and this, combined with the cluster headaches he had begun suffering because of the bright lights on the set, led to his departure. Coincidentally, when David Frankham guested on The Outer Limits, in the episode "Do Not Open Till Doomsday", his character was also the victim of an alien hidden in a box which did its damage when looked upon. A crewmember in a corridor appears to be chewing gum. This is the last appearance of antigravs in the series. An extremely insightful portion of this episode establishes the fact that, since telepathy is a two-way street, telepaths must train themselves to shut out the random thoughts and emotions of others that bombard them every day. There are several tie-ins with Shakespeare in this episode. Miranda was the name of Prospero's virginal daughter in "The Tempest". Dr. Jones wants nothing to do with men romantically, wishing only to join minds with Kollos and exile herself to his world. Spock/Kollos and Miranda also reference the play when Kollos sees Miranda for the first time through humanoid eyes: "O brave new world, That has such creatures in't." To which Miranda answers, "'Tis new to thee." (Note: Spock/Kollos says "...such creatures...", a common misquotation; the play's line is actually "...such people...") The episode title is from a poem by the 17th century English poet and clergyman George Herbert, from his poem "Jordan (I)", line 2. The first two lines (with modernized spelling) are: Who says that fictions only and false hair/ Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty? In this episode and "The Empath", Leonard Nimoy has some serious nasal congestion. A scene which shows crewman listening to the intercom in a corridor is reused from "The Corbomite Maneuver".

During the fight scene in engineering, a crewman is thrown against one of the two large, gray cowlings that sit in the middle of the floor: it moves when he hits it. As the ship is being flung to the far reaches of the galaxy, there is a rare, recycled and highly unflattering visual effect of the Enterprise coming straight at camera and going over the top of the frame. This shot was first seen in the main-title sequence of "The Cage," and used again in "That Which Survives."

The original print of this visual effect from "The Cage" was cut off too soon, so the Enterprise abruptly "disappears" at the last instant instead of completely passing "through" the TV screen. This mistake was corrected for the prints used in "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" and "That Which Survives." The visual evidence would suggest that the three-foot static model was used instead of the eleven-foot model. It is difficult to tell as the sequence was filmed with a "fish-eye" lens so as to create a sense of size. See the Star Trek Compendium.
This episode has an excellent shot of the bridge ceiling from the turbolift perspective. Several feet of masking can be seen curving up higher above the normally seen bridge soffit, suggesting the interior of the uppermost dome on the ship, last depicted as translucent in "The Cage". At one point, Miranda says she's committed to mind-linking with Kollos when they reach the "Medusan vessel." This suggests that they'll be departing the Enterprise for another space ship. However, in the final scene, the Enterprise is seen approaching a planet, possibly the Medusan home world. The script is confusing as to exactly where the Enterprise is trapped following Larry Marvick's madness. Marvick was seeking safety "beyond the boundaries of the galaxy," but Kirk's next log entry states that "the Enterprise lies derelict in uncharted space ... we are in a completely unknown void." Spock concurs with Marvick: "We are evidently far outside our own galaxy" and that "we cannot re-cross the barrier using sublight speed." However, the visual effects show the Enterprise trapped inside the barrier, not beyond it. Obviously, the "galactic barrier" footage from "Where No Man Has Gone Before" is reused here as a cost-cutting measure, but it and the dialogue don't exactly synch up. Another interesting carryover from the second pilot is Spock's mention of the onset of "sensory distortion" when crossing the barrier at warp speed. Obviously, between the second pilot and this episode, the Enterprise's deflector shields have improved, thus negating the barrier's tendency to "zap" persons with high ESPer capacity. But the barrier is still one-up on the Enterprise, leaving the mostly human crew hopelessly disoriented as far as navigation is concerned. Curiously enough, however, the "sensory distortion" problem was conveniently "overlooked" during the Enterprise's second passage of the barrier in "By Any Other Name." This was an unsolicted script which Robert Justman read and recommended. At the end, Kirk orders Warp 14 with no apparent explanation given that it was generally accepted that Warp 10 was the unattainable limit. In the third season blooper reel, Diana Muldaur blows one of her last lines by saying "We've come to the end of an eventful...trip."

Oct 25, 1968 * escrito por Lee Cronin * dirigido por Vincent McEveety * msica de Jerry Fielding * Fecha Estelar 4385.3: Una boya de aviso Melkotiana es destruda accidentalmnte por Kirk y la Enterprise. Cuando Kirk y un equipo de salida se transportan, los propietarios de la boya, temerosos de que una raza potencialmente violenta haya entrado en su espacio, atrapa a los oficiales de la Enterprise en una rplica de Tombstone, Arizona (extrado de la mente de Kirk) y fuerzan a Kirk y compaa a interpretar los papeles de la Banda de los Calnton, condenados a perder el duelo en O.K. Corral al atardecer. Background Information
For the third season, the velour uniforms from the first two seasons have been replaced by better fitting, but cheaper looking polyester ones. Reportedly, the fabric was the same nylon-based material used in professional baseball uniforms.

Kirk's chair now has a pad on its base, made from the same material that covers the rest of the floor of the bridge. This is TOS's only foray into surrealism, with some unique set designs by Matt Jefferies. Story outline "The Last Gunfight" 19 April 1968. Revised final draft 14 May 1968, filmed late May. James Blish's adaptation has title as "The Last Gunfight". Among the differences is that in the adaptation, the tranquilizer is delivered via darts; in the episode, it is in the form of a nerve gas. The original script specified filming the episode on location in an outdoor western town. However, due to budget restrictions, filming was confined to the regular studio stages. To avoid having to build a complete western town set, the concept of an incomplete town, put together from "bits and pieces" out of Kirk's mind, was developed thus allowing the episode to be filmed within budget. Star Trek characters would revisit the Old West in TNG: "A Fistful of Datas". DeForest Kelley appeared in the 1957 film "Gunfight at the OK Corral" as Morgan Earp. A funny photo taken on the set of this segment shows Kelley looking in puzzlement at a revolver that he is holding incorrectly. Chekov is the only member of the landing party who wears a two-holstered gun belt. Mike Minor was the designer of the Melkot mask. This is the only episode to end with the Enterprise heading toward a planet. A very subtle change in the third season was the use of new sound effects for the pushing of buttons on the bridge. Another difference this episode brings is the "singing plant" background noise from "The Cage", used for nearly every planet in seasons one and two, is replaced here by a new, warbly sound. This will be used intermittently throughout season three - for example, in "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky". Jerry Fielding's unique score adds excellent atmosphere to this episode. In a nice bit of humor, when we see the villains in the saloon, Fielding has the piano play stereotypical "menace" notes and a bizarre rendition of "Buffalo Gals". Fielding's other "Star Trek" contribution was his memorable score for "The Trouble with Tribbles." In different views of Scotty inhaling the concoction at the bar, the gas escaping from the cannister varies quite a bit in its volume. The sign that says "sheriff" has an identical font to the main titles of the show. James Doohan intensely disliked the back combed hairstyle he debuted in this episode, which was not his own choice. By the filming of The Tholian Web, this hair-do is gone for good, though viewers would see it again in The Empath and Elaan of Troyius, which weren't aired until December of that year. This is one of three episodes ("The Man Trap" and "The Changeling" are the others) to indicate Uhura is of something other than African-American decent, as her native language is "Swahili". The writers' bible confirms she is from "The United States of Africa". The positions of the Earps constantly shift as they're walking to the OK Corral. A minor continuity error occurs in the teaser. As a "redshirt" enters the bridge from the turbo-lift, he walks by the Engineering station three times in the same pass. Kirk has to flip his communicator a second time, as it didn't stay open on the first flip. A short clip in the third season blooper reel shows the Melkotian head wearing a fake moustache and horn-rimmed glasses. Reportedly, the glasses belonged to co-producer Robert H. Justman. George Takei (Sulu) does not appear in this episode. The scene from "Spectre of the Gun" of Spock mind-melding with Kirk, McCoy and Scott was originally going to be incorporated into Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Speaking of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Rex Holman (Morgan) would later play the settler J'onn (The one Sybok approached at the beginning) in that very movie. Several of the actors in this episode, most notably Charles Seel and Gregg Palmer, acted extensively in westerns throughout their careers. The episode originally aired just one day before the anniversary of the original gunfight at the OK Corral. Wyatt Earp, despite the sign in this episode, was not the marshal of Tombstone. His older brother Virgil was. Wyatt and Morgan were deputy marshals. Also, in reality, the actual gunfight took place outside Fly's Photographic Studio, a good distance from the O.K. Corral. These inaccuracies have an excuse in Star Trek because they come from Kirk's romanticized conceptions of the Old West. Kirk remembers that the real-life Billy Claiborne (the role assigned to Chekov by the Melkots) survived the O.K. Corral gunfight, but apparently does not recall that his own character, Ike Clanton, also survived the shootout. Some other historical errors as pertains to the historical gunfight: Morgan Earp is referred to by Kirk as "the man who kills on sight" when the real life Morgan by most reliable accounts was an even-tempered lawman who used his gun only when he was forced to. The gunfight in the Melkot scenario is treated as a pre-arranged event when in actuality it was more or less a spontaneous affair. Also, the gunfight took place near the hour of three o'clock as opposed to five o'clock as stated in the episode.

DAY OF THE DOVE / El da de la paloma. Nov 1, 1968 * escrito por Jerome Bixby * dirigido por Marvin Chomsky * msica de Fred Steiner * Fecha Estelar no dada: Habiendo recibido una llamade de socorro desde un planeta asediado, la Enterprise y una nave klingon llegan a la zona al mismo tiempo, y Kang, en capitn klingon, fuerzaa Kirk a transportar a bordo de la Enterprise a un grupo de klingons. La nave entra acto seguido en una zona de turbulencias, y los sistemas automticos de emergencia cierran la mayor parte de compartimientos de la nave. Los klingons se esconden por la Enterprise para luchar contra un nmero igual al suyo de tripulantes de la nave. Ambos oficiales klingons y de la Federacin culpan de los problemas de la nave a la otra parte, y varios de ellos ven la opurtunidad de ajustar cuentas con sus archienemigos, pero nadie se da cuenta del verdadero catalizador que se encuentra detrs de la espiral de violencia que se avecina. Nota: Michael Ansara retom el papel de Kang en una visita a Deep Space Nine en el episodio de 1999 "Blood Oath." Background Information
Michael Ansara reprises his role as Kang in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Blood Oath" and the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Flashback". Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons named his recurring alien characters Kang and Kodos, after a character in TOS: "The Conscience of the King" and the character from this episode. Bantam Books published a series of novelizations called "foto-novels," which took photographic stills from actual episodes and arranged word balloons and text over them, to create a comic book formatted story. The tenth installment was an adaptation of this episode. It is the only third season episode that was adapted to this format. Watch during the fight in the corridor after the entity changes the weapons into swords. Just before Kirk's group backs into the elevator, one of the props attached to the wall is dislodged and rolls around on the floor! - It is back in place about three minutes later when Chekov storms past it. In the briefing room scene where objects turn to swords, Kirk and company back out through the doors into the hallway. From this angle, the corridor wall is bathed in a purplish light. However, in the next shot from inside the corridor, the end of the corridor is painted purple, not the wall, making it impossible to have been able to see any purple from the previous angle from inside the briefing room. This episode marks the only appearance in the original series of a female Klingon. In fact, we see two of them. Although intra-ship beaming is routine in later incarnations of 'Star Trek', this is the first and only time it is done in the original series. When Chekov attacks Mara, her makeup comes off on his hands. Later, when Kirk punches Chekov, his hands hit the corridor wall, leaving handprints in makeup. The Klingon who says, "Stand and fight, you cowards!" is Pete Kellett, previously appearing in "Mirror, Mirror" as Farrell, Kirk's henchman. At the end of the episode, although the entity is shown on the upper level of Engineering, that's not where the characters are looking! This might have been due to the fact that the background opposite the main wall was composed of a stilted platform that held up the Emergency Manual Monitor set. The set pieces through which Kirk searched for his double in "The Enemy Within" had been modified when the set was remodeled for the second season. According to set drawings, the walls of the bridge set would have been directly behind the open end of the engineering set. John Colicos was originally going to return as Commander Kor for this episode. He was heartbroken when another committment made this impossible. This is probably why James Blish's short-story adaptation described Kang as having "harsh, mongol-like features." The short story also had Galloway, not Johnson, as the one with the heart wound. In the film Koyaanisqatsi, the scene of Mara and Chekov can be seen for an instant in the fast montage of television images. Stunt performer Charles Picerni is uncredited as the security guard who assists Scott and Sulu. George Takei appears for a microsecond in Engineering at the very end of the show, although he is not seen in the hallway as the crew fight their way in. This suggests that there was some footage cut from this scene. This is the only time Mr. Sulu is seen in Engineering or working in a Jefferies tube.

Ubiquitous stunt man and extra Jay Jones can also be seen as a Klingon in a few scenes. For whatever reason, Majel Barrett's computer voice is done in a much higher register in this episode and has a strong echo effect. These characteristics are not repeated in any of the episodes to come. The Klingon agonizer used on Chekov is the same one seen in "Mirror, Mirror." When the entity exits the Enterprise at the end of the episode, it is seen leaving through the front center of the secondary hull, thus canonizing the location of Main Engineering in a Constitution class starship for the first time. Footage of the Klingon ship is reused from Elaan of Troyius which aired after this episode. The footage of engineering, with the hovering entity, was also re-used in "The Tholian Web", with a floating Capt. Kirk instead. It is established that Kang's cruiser carried a crew of 400+ when he says "400 of my crew dead". The actual complement may be closer to 440 because Mara says there were "40 (Klingon survivors) against 400 of them (Enterprise crew)". The officers' quarters are apparently in the saucer section, possibly Deck 6, as seen when the entity moves through circular corridors and there's a sign that says "Officers Quarters 6F-38". Kang and his shipmates also seem to be detained on this deck because Kirk orders them to be held not in the brig but in the officer's lounge. Also, if the turbolift "deck indicator" can be believed, there were about 6 decks between the bridge and this floor, with sickbay being in-between at around deck 5 or 4. All of the action in the episode seems to happen at no lower than deck 7, which is squarely in the primary saucer hull, and this includes Engineering, Auxiliary Control, and the Armory. Spock says the Klingons control deck 6 and starboard deck 7, while they control everything above. At the time, the Enterprise's crew controlled Engineering, which means Engineering must be on either port deck 7 or anywhere from deck 5 and up. However, in the next scene, Scotty comes up a ladder shaft and walks through the nearby doors into the "Engineering Section" which is clearly marked by a sign on the wall. This means Engineering cannot be on "port deck 7" but anywhere from deck 5 and up, again placing Engineering squarely in the saucer. There is also a room or area called "emergency manual control" which seems to be the famous "Jefferies tube", because Kirk orders Sulu to go down there and we next see Sulu standing in it fiddling with switches. The "main life support couplings" are on deck 6, as Mara says, and this is where she goes when she is picked up by Chekov. Spock says "Reactor Number Three" is near Engineering, and both are next to a curved corridor, again indicating saucer location for Engineering. The entity moves from this curved corridor into Engineering, and in the next scene emerges again into the curved corridor, which seems to be deck 6 because Mara has come to fiddle with the "main life support couplings". Mara and guard seem to have slipped out of the red door to their left, which seems to be the door to Engineering, which they just left Kang in. All of this points to a deck 6 location for Engineering. It should be noted that the room itself is so tall it occupies two decks, so the upper part could be in the "hump" of the upper part of the saucer, which is deck 5. Jerome Bixby's original draft had the Klingons and Enterprise crew driving the entity away by having a peace march! While this was current in 1968, it would have badly dated the episode today. In one scene, Chekov attacks a Klingon guard escorting Mara to the life support circuits on deck 6. Kirk and Spock rescue Mara, but take no notice of the unconscious, or dead, guard. The final shot, of the alien entity leaving the Enterprise, is extremely similar to the final shot of TNG: "Emergence", in which an entity created by the holodecks aboard the Enterprise-D leaves the ship. Kang states that the Federation and the Klingon Empire had been at peace for three years prior to this episode, evidently referring to the Treaty of Organia from "Errand of Mercy". However, based on the widely-accepted chronology for the original series, this treaty would have just been signed the previous year. However, he could have meant the amount of time in Klingon years. Mr. Sulu apparently wields a Japanese-style katana in this episode. Mr. Scott calls his sword a "claymore." It appears to be a basket-hilted claymore instead of the earlier and more famous two-handed claymore of Scottish highlanders. Kirk has a 18th Century cutlass. According to Emerson Bixby, son of Jerome Bixby, James Doohan was taken aside before filming his dramatic scene on the bridge. Much to Doohans delight, Bixby asked him to pronounce the word Vulcan to sound euphonically like a certain expletive. Listen closely to Scottys stern insistence that Spock keep his hands off of him. Kirk and Kang already seem to know one another. Kang uses the captain's name in the teaser; Kirk uses the Klingon commander's name at the beginning of Act One. This may have been due to Kor having originally been written as the Klingon commander for this episode.

308. FOR THE WORLD IS HOLLOW AND I HAVE TOUCHED THE SKY / El mundo es hueco y he tocado el cielo. Nov 8, 1968 * escrito por Rik Vollaerts * dirigido por Tony Leader * msica de George Duning * Fecha Estelar 5476.3: McCoy le cuenta a Kirk que en los resultados del ltimo examen mdico efectuado a toda la tripulacin se ha descubierto un caso de enfermedad terminal aunque no contagiosa. La vctima es el propio McCoy. Kirk le recomienda que renuncie al cargo inmediatamente para poder descansar, pero antes de que la discusin se alargue, Kirk lidera a Spock y McCoy en un equipo de salida hacia la nave con aspecto de asteroide llamada Yonada, disfrazada cuidadosamente por dentro para hacer creer a sus habitantes humanoides de que se encuentran en la superficie de un planeta. Kirk descubre que el "mundo" est controlado por un ordenado conocido por los residentes como Orculo, y las instrucciones de Orculo son llevadas a cabo como si se tratasen de rdenes religiosas. La Alta Sacerdotisa se fija en McCoy y le pide que se quede con ella, una oferta que, considerando el actual estado del doctor, McCoy encuentra tentadora. Background Information
The idea of a multi-generational ship or "interstellar ark" is an old one that was proposed in an unpublished paper by Robert Goddard in 1918. Goddard's fellow rocket pioneers Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and J. D. Bernal also considered the idea in the 1920s. Olaf Stapledon and Don Wilcox wrote stories about the idea in the 1940s, and Robert Heinlein originated the notion that inhabitants might forget they were on a ship in his book Orphans of the Sky. Nevertheless, considering the energy, ecology, and life support needs such a ship would require, the interstellar ark is a highly unlikely prospect. The "Book of the People" is the same as "Chicago Mobs of the Twenties" in "A Piece of the Action". The metal helical staircase is recycled from "The Empath". The scenes showing Yonada are reused footage of the asteroid from "The Paradise Syndrome", and the curved staircase in the control room at the end of this episode seems to be the same one used inside the Obelisk in that same episode. This is the only episode after the first pilot, "The Cage", to feature three actors who appeared in that episode: Leonard Nimoy (Spock), Majel Barrett (Nurse Christine Chapel) and Jon Lormer (Old man) (not including "The Menagerie, Part I" and "The Menagerie, Part II" which features clips from the majority of "The Cage"). Barrett and Lormer played Number One and Theodore Haskins, respectively, in the earlier episode. Whether by chance or design, the music that accompanies the appearance of the old man played by Jon Lormer is the same music by Alexander Courage that played during some of his lines as Dr. Theodore Haskins in "The Cage". To give more depth to the planet set, the entrances to the underground civilization were built in two sizes; those seen in the distance are much smaller replicas to give viewers an illusion of distance. The scene on the bridge that runs under Kirk's voice over at the start of Act One (after the first commercial break) replays the same scene from the beginning of the episode -- where Kirk enters the bridge from the turboshaft. In the beginning of Act One, the 'stock footage' of Chekov at the nav station is 'altered'. If you watch closely, they looped the footage so that Chekov's usual gaze down at the console to push a few buttons is avoided so that he appears to be looking straight ahead at the viewscreen. This shows up especially well on a bigger screen. In the trailer, the scene where the Oracle turns on the heat plays without the red overlay, or the heat wave distortion effect. This episode has the longest title in canon Star Trek. In an early story outline (2 May 1968) it was Scotty who was ill.

THE THOLIAN WEB / La telaraa Tholiana. Nov 15, 1968 * escrito por Judy Burns y Chet Richards * dirigido por Herb Wallerstein * msica de Fred Steiner * Fecha Estelar 5693.2: Buscando la nave desaparecida Defiant, la Enterprise consigue finalmente encontrarla atrapada en una extraa esfera. Un equipo de salida se transporta a bordo, descubriendo que la totalidad de la tripulacin de la Defiant enloqueci y se mataron los unos a los otros. Mientras Kirk y el equipo de salida

inspeccionan la Defiant, notan que la superfice slida comienza a hacerse intangible, mientras que la tripulacin de la Enterprise ve desvanecerse a la defiant. Con los transportadores de la Enterprise confundidos por el efecto, Kirk espera a que los otros se transporten de vuelta, pero no pude ser recuperado y desaparece junto a la Defiant. Esperando a la siguiente "interfaase" durante la cual la Defiant debera regresar a la dimensin de la Enterprise, los miembros de la tripulacin comienzan a enfermar, igual que el personal de la Defiant. Para complicar las cosas, una nave Tholiana llega al lugar,y su comandante se niega a creer que la Enterprise est asistiendo a una nave daada ya que sta ha desaparecido. Los Tholianos comienza a tejer una red de energa que rodea a la Enterprise, reteniendo a la nave mientras que la mayor parte de la tripulacin comienza a enloquecer, y Spock y McCoy discuten sobre la capacidad de mando de Spock en ausencia de Kirk. Background Information
During the teaser there is an editing mistake as Spock rises from his station to look at the Defiant approaching on the viewing screen. As Kirk says, "The Defiant!" Spock stands up from his chair again even though he was already standing. The reaction shots were obviously cut together slighty out of sequence. This is the third time that the Enterprise has encountered another Constitution-class starship with the entire crew dead. The others were in "The Doomsday Machine" and "The Omega Glory". The Exo III graphic from "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" reappears in the sickbay of the Defiant. As in "Balance of Terror", in which it was redressed with red curtains and a podium, a redecorated briefing room set doubles as the ship's chapel. A wonderful effects shot was set up in this episode and not used. A dead crewman is projected onto the floor of the Defiant's sickbay for DeForest Kelley to put his hand through. Unfortunately, only a tight close-up of his hand penetrating the body ended up being used. The images of the brutally killed crew of the Defiant, especially those in the engineering section, are rather graphic for 1960s television. Several regular extras from the series double as dead Defiant crewmembers, most notably Paul Baxley as the Defiant's captain. This scene was recreated with amazing accuracy in ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly" None of the insignia on the tunics of the dead Defiant crew are clearly visible. This allowed the producers to reuse standard Enterprise tunics without the need to create a new insignia. As Chekov looks upon the carnage in the engineering room of the dead ship, one of Walter Koenig's reaction shots is looped several times to make it longer. Cold blue light infuses the impulse engines of the Defiant to show that they are inoperative. Star Trek won an Emmy Award for the special effects in this episode. The effects were a collaboration by Mike Minor and Van DerVeer Effects. Minor also designed the Tholian mask. Spock refers to "the renowned Tholian punctuality," so it seems that Starfleet had encountered the Tholian race before. This fact is later corroborated by ENT: "Future Tense". If you look closely during some of the effect shots of the Tholian vessels, stars are visible through the ships. This is especially noticable after the first Tholian ship is shown backing off after being hit by the Enterprise's phasers. Just before the berserk engineer leaps down on Mr. Scott, we get a view down from the top of the ladder; this is the only time we see Engineering from this angle. Look carefully, and you can also see the colored lights behind the set that were used to light up the engineering consoles! Ralph Senensky began the direction of this episode but was fired and replaced by Herb Wallerstein. The signature wide-angle shots used to show the viewpoint of a person affected by interspace were used by Senensky to great effect in "Is There in Truth No Beauty?". The spacesuits in this episode were seen again in "Whom Gods Destroy". When Dr. McCoy enters Spock's quarters with the theragen, the mirror wobbles. The person controlling the door behind the mirror bumped the wall while operating the door cables. The rather incredible title for this episode in Japan is "Crisis of Captain Kirk, Who Was Thrown into DifferentDimensional Space". Although he is paraphrasing the words of Kirk, this is the only time Spock refers to McCoy as "Bones". When Kirk's "ghost" appears on the bridge, he is mouthing the words, "Hurry, Spock!" Dr. McCoy seems to appear at an incredibly opportune time in the bridge. On the other hand, he was probably present on the bridge to discuss his report with Spock. He was expecting something to happen to the members of the landing party, and Chekov was the first to show symptoms of what had happened to the crew of the Defiant. Spock, in collaboration with McCoy, misleads Kirk at the end of this episode. Cutting himself off from finishing his sentence so that he doesn't flat-out lie, and so his "no" at the beginning of his line could have meant anything. ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly" and "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II" would later serve as sequels to this episode and as prequels to TOS: "Mirror, Mirror".

When Kirk comments, upon his return, that he prefers a crowded universe much more, he gives an appreciative look at Lt. Uhura. As Spock grips Chekov's head on the bridge as he goes berserk, a scream is dubbed in where it is obvious that Walter Koenig was not actually screaming. Stock footage from "The Paradise Syndrome" is used for James Doohan in one brief clip in Engineering, evidenced by his totally different hair style. Even though Chekov was taken away to sickbay, when we see the Tholian on the viewscreen, the back of Walter Koenig's head is still visible at the navigator's station. One music clip frequently used in the Defiant scenes is the same clip that accompanies Charlie's last plea in "Charlie X".

Background Information
This episode has long been famous for featuring "the first interracial kiss" on American network television, between Captain Kirk and Lieutenant Uhura, although lip contact could not be seen in the shot used for the final edit. Almost a year earlier (11 December 1967), NBC broadcast a musical-variety show entitled Movin' With Nancy, during which singers Nancy Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. greeted with a kiss.[1] However, it should be noted that the Star Trek kiss was the first that would appear romantic out of context (they were being forced after all). Both of these firsts also ignore the "innocent" kisses that were occasionally in The Little Rascals. According to Nichelle Nichols, in the early script, it was supposed to be Spock that kissed Uhura, but William Shatner had it changed, saying "If anyone's gonna get to kiss Nichelle, it's going to be me, I mean, Captain Kirk!" Nichols also said that they got more mail on that episode than any other episode in the history of the series and none of it, surprisingly, was negative. Nichols recalled a letter that Gene Roddenberry showed her. It was from a man in the American South, and he said "I am against the mixing of the races, but anytime a red-blooded American boy like Captain Kirk gets his arms around a gal like Lt. Uhura, he ain't gonna fight it!" After being absent from the second season because of a dispute with Gene Roddenberry, Alexander "Sandy" Courage returned to compose the music for this episode, his last score for Star Trek. This episode was also the last episode to have an original score, although new songs were composed for "The Way to Eden". George Takei (Sulu) and Walter Koenig (Chekov) do not appear in this episode. The story outline was originally titled "The Sons of Socrates" and submitted 13 June 1968. The episode was filmed early to mid-September. The episode pioneers the use of psycho-kinetic energy to strangle Alexander, almost a decade before Darth Vader's famous "Force Choke". This episode was not shown until 22 December 1993 in the United Kingdom with the BBC skipping it due to 'sadistic' elements in the plot. (The same fate befell "The Empath" and "Whom Gods Destroy" and a decision was also taken to not repeat "Miri" in a 'family' timeslot for similar reasons.) Assumptions that "Plato's Stepchildren" was excluded because the Kirk/Uhura kiss would have been 'controversial' are erroneous. In fact, British Television had featured its first 'interracial' kiss several years before US TV; the massively popular prime time soap opera Emergency Ward 10 depicting a long term 'interracial' relationship between two major characters throughout 1964 without inciting controversy in the UK (although the producers had expected that it would).

Spock's observation that Plato desired justice above all is quite correct. In "The Republic," the philosopher envisioned justice as the highest ideal to which any state could aspire, achieved through the harmonious interplay of wisdom, courage, and temperance. Leonard Nimoy composed "Bitter Dregs," the song that he performs in this episode.

Background Information
Story outline: 22 March 1968, filmed middle through late September. At the beginning of the episode, Scotty is shown on the bridge recording a log while other dialogue is played over this scene. This footage is lifted from The Empath, made obvious by the fact that Scotty's hair style is totally different in the rest of this episode! You can even hear the log recording from "The Empath", very faintly, in the background! Furthermore, Uhura is not sitting in her chair, but another woman. Chekov is seen only in the beginning footage, which was recycled from "The Empath". The Eminiar VII matte painting is recycled here for Scalos, a statue seen in Anan 7's quarters is similar to a statue seen in this episode. The Environmental Engineering room is a hastily redressed briefing room. Deela's weapon makes a sound identical to Klingon disruptors and the Ardana torture device in "The Cloud Minders." Director Jud Taylor tilted the camera to indicate the journey into hyperacceleration. This was also a common technique on "Batman" whenever the camera visited the villain-of-the-week's lair. In the episode trailer, when Compton is accelerated he merely disappears, rather than "flickering out" as he does in the final episode. A 1966 episode of "The Wild, Wild West" was no doubt the inspiraton for this episode. In that episode, "The Night of the Burning Diamond", the villain hyperaccelerated himself with an elixir in order to steal valuable gems with impunity. The danger of hyperacceleration was that the excessive friction of "wink of an eye" movement could set the body on fire. Interestingly enough, the episode also featured 'Star Trek' communicator chirp noises to represent the sound of people talking as heard by those sped up by the elixir. Gene L. Coon was the producer for part of "The Wild, Wild West's" first season and came up with the story idea for this segment of TOS. The producers managed to slip past the censors the scene clearly suggesting that Deela and Kirk have just had sex. The captain is sitting on the edge of the bed, tugging on his boot, while Deela is busy brushing her hair. Kirk and Rael start fighting at the end of one act, and while the picture is fading out to commercial, the action onscreen doesn't freeze. In slow motion, you can see Rael raising his arm to strike Kirk and Kirk lifting a chair to defend himself. After the commercial, the action picks up right where it left off, with Deela quickly stunning Rael to make him drop his weapon. In the first act, Sulu notes that various controls have been "frozen." Soon afterward, when Kirk sips his contaminated coffee, you can see behind him that the Bridge's turbolift doors are "stuck" open - the latest "victim" of the Scalosians' tampering. After Kirk is hyperaccelerated and has met Deela on the Bridge, he storms off camera, presumably to use the "stuck" turbolift. What we hear, however, are his footfalls receding into the distance, as if he's not going to the turbolift after all. This suggests there's another way to get off the Bridge. This was Andrea Weaver's last episode as women's costumer. She went on to join another Desilu production, Mission: Impossible.

THE EMPATH / La empata. Dic 6, 1968 * escrito por Joyce Muskat * dirigido por John Erman * msica de George Duning * Fecha Estelar 5121.0: Kirk, Spock y McCoy buscan a dos cientficos desaparecidos en un planeta cuyo sol est a punto de explotar, pero lo nico que encuentran son unas grabaciones que muestran a los cientficos en el momento de su desaparicin. Luego, el equipo de salida desparece tambien para encontarse atrapado por dos aliengenas que haban secuestrado a los cientficos y experimentados con ellos hasta morir. Ahora los aliengenas tienen a Kirk, Spock y McCoy y a una mpata muda, apodada "Gem" por el equipo de salida, bajo su custodia y sus captores parecen estar dispuestos a repetir los mismos experimentos mortales en sus nuevos especmenes. Background Information
This episode was written by Joyce Muskat, one of only three fans who were able to sell scripts to the original series. Robert Justman recommended that her script and Jean Lisette Aroeste's two scripts be bought, and David Gerrold was able to make his first professional sale, The Trouble with Tribbles, during the second season. Revised final draft 23 July 1968, filmed late July, early August. Additionally, according to the IMDB, this was the only TV or film script Joyce Muskat has ever sold. The scene where Kirk is transported away by the Vians is well done. The imprint of his body is left behind in the thick dust on the floor, but there are no footprints. Shatner must have been carefully lifted off the floor to make this edit so effective. The sound effect of the Vians' lab can also be heard in Norman's lab in "I, Mudd". The helical staircase in the station would be reused in "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky". The footage of the Minaran sun seems to be stock footage from "Operation -- Annihilate!". This and the "The Galileo Seven" shuttlecraft footage reused in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" mark the only appearances of first-season view screen stock used in the third season. This was one of the few episodes to mention explicitly Scripture from the Bible, specifically Psalm 95, verse 4: "In His hands are the deep places of the Earth. The heights of the mountains are his also"; and the Gospel of Matthew, 13:45-46: "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it." This is the only episode whose first-act credits open on a completely black background. Spock acts callously toward McCoy by telling him that by knocking Kirk out, he has left Spock in command and that, as the one in command, the Vulcan will be the one to go with the Vians. After this exchange, Gem, concerned at McCoy's hurt feelings, approaches Spock and uses her empathic abilities. Her look of confusion changes into an understanding smile. She knows that Spock's mask of cold logic is just a mask and that he is taking this action to protect the others. It is an excellent unspoken moment, well-acted by Kathryn Hays. A minor continuity error occurs when the landing party first encounters Gem: she is lying on the red triangular center of the dais, but in a close-up she is on the golden carpet that surrounds it. The couch itself is a gigantic version of the agonizers seen in "Mirror, Mirror" and "Day of the Dove." It was first seen as the Eymorg's table in "Spock's Brain." McCoy's tunic goes from polyester before he's tortured to the old velour style after. Probably because it was better to ruin an old uniform than one of the new ones. Note the difference in color between his tunic and Spock's when Spock is scanning McCoy's injuries. The sound stage was surrounded by black curtains to create the bizarre, stark setting of the Vians' experiment. This approach also saved on set costs. At the time, fanzine articles stated that the episode's set design and general ambience were meant to suggest Expressionist art. The episode features costly and time consuming but excellent make-up from Fred Phillips with the largecraniumed Vians. The preview of the episode shows Gem's healing of wounds done by jump-cuts, rather than as fades. This was DeForest Kelley's personal favorite episode.

This was the final episode shot by director of photography Jerry Finnerman, who had shot every episode since "The Corbomite Maneuver." Camera Operator Al Francis took over primary camera duty on the next episode filmed, "The Tholian Web." In another one of the strange connections between 'Star Trek' and 'The Outer Limits', "The Empath" has similarities to an episode called "Nightmare". In that episode, humans are interrogated by aliens in a minimalistic set. John Erman also directed "Nightmare", and Willard Sage (Thann) was one of the people behind the interrogations. Both this episode and "Spectre of the Gun" have an unmistakable 'Twilight Zone' feel. It is never explained how a race of empaths with that level of healing ability never developed compassion. Perhaps compassion for strangers or for creatures outside of her own species was meant. Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) and Walter Koenig (Pavel Chekov) do not appear in this episode. In the United Kingdom, the BBC skipped this episode in all runs of the series through to the early 1990s, due to its violent content. It was finally shown for the first time on 5 January 1994.

ELAAN OF TROYIUS / Elaan de Troyius. Dic 20, 1968 * escrito por John Meredyth Lucas * dirigido por John Meredyth Lucas * msica de Fred Steiner * Fecha Estelar 4372.5: A la Enterprise se le ordena transportar al Embajador Petri de Troyius para recoger a la enviada del enemigo jurado de Troyius, el mundo de Elas. La enviada resulta ser Elaan, un ejemplo de lo ms llamativo de las mujeres de Elas, cuyas lgrimas, segn la leyenda, dejan a cualquier hombre a merced de sus caprichos. La tarea de Petri en el lento viaje de vuelta a Troyius es educar a la salvaje Elaan en las costumbres ms civilizadas de los Troyianos, una leccin que no desea aprender. Despus de apualar a Petri, coger demasiadas rabietas y ordenar a sus guardias que impidan a Kirk resolver cualquier disputa, Elaan derrama una lgrima que infecta a Kirk, nublando su juicio justamente en el peor momento ya que una nave de guerra klingon entra en la zona. Background Information
Story This is the only episode in the franchise to have been both fully written and directed by the same person. The episode's title is a take on 'Helen of Troy' (in fact, Lucas' story outline was entitled "Helen of Troyius"), another woman given to a man in marriage to stop a war. The story is a science-fiction version of "The Taming of the Shrew." The first draft script was delivered 16 May 1968, the final revised draft script submitted 27 May, and the episode was filmed late May, early June. Few times did William Shatner get to play Kirk with such a sense of sarcasm as when he is instructing Elaan on proper table manners. Deleted scene: An entire sequence with Spock playing his Vulcan harp in the recreation room set was filmed but then edited out. In that scene he indicated that he had lost an all-Vulcan musical competition to his father. The music was supposed to be fed into the Dohlman's quarters to calm her down. Removal of this scene meant that the elaborate new recreation room would only be seen on-screen twice: in "And the Children Shall Lead", and, in redressed form, in "Is There in Truth No Beauty?". The script portion of the edited scene, as well as stills from it, can be viewed here. The actor playing Petri has apparently modeled his performance on character actor Franklin Pangborn. Once again the episode preview's visual effects differ from that of the finished episode. In the preview, the Klingon ship's photon torpedoes are white in color. In the episode, they are bright green. The Dohlman of Elas undergoes more costume changes than any other TOS character with the exception of Barbara Anderson (Lenore Karidian) in "The Conscience of the King." Guest star France Nuyen's costumes are far more revealing, however: the purple halter top, the silver flowered thing on black mesh, the orange dress, and the blue wedding gown with no sides. It was while she was in her chair having one of her costumes put on that France Nuyen, a Robert Kennedy supporter, learned of his assassination in California. The armor of Elaan's guards were constructed out of red and orange plastic place mats.

Costumes

The security officers on the ship have new belts in the third season they are black and are worn around the midriff rather than at the hip. In "The Savage Curtain", the belts seen are white for Lincoln's honor guard. France Nuyen breaks character and is seen smiling during the final battle with the Klingon ship. Prior to the Enterprise finally hitting the Klingon ship, the Enterprise takes a hit and the entire view screen glows green. A close up of Scotty and Nuyen is shown followed by a shot where they are in the background behind Kirk's shoulder. It's quick but here you can see Nuyen facing Scotty then looking back towards the view screen with a big smile on her face. Visible at regular speed and undeniable while single stepping the frames. In this episode, the camera is set way back from the center of the engineering set the "wild" engine components are wheeled out and a vast amount of floor space is left open. This is one of two episodes ("The Tholian Web" was the other) in which we see Uhura's quarters. Some African motifs are displayed. In the scene where Kirk tries to teach Elaan 'courtesy,' Elaan retreats behind a door in Uhura's quarters that could be a bathroom a room never seen on Star Trek TOS. This room can be seen briefly in "Mirror, Mirror", when Marlena enters it to change her clothes, in "The Conscience of the King", when the room is redressed as Karidian's quarters and in "By Any Other Name" when Rojan enters Kalinda's quarters to find Kirk "apologizing" to her. This episode marks the first appearance of the Matt Jefferies-designed Klingon ship, previously seen as an animated blob in "Friday's Child". Several impressive fly-bys were filmed for the new model. The new emblem of the Klingon Empire is seen on the model and in the background of the Klingon bridge, except that it is flopped onto its right side. Similarly to "The Corbomite Maneuver", this episode was filmed early in the season, but aired much later because of the many, newly created special effect shots which took lot of time to be filmed and added in post-production. "Day of the Dove", which was filmed later, but aired earlier re-used shots of the Klingon battle cruiser from this episode. It appears that Elaan is eating a piece of chicken that has been made to look exotic with the addition of green food coloring. This was one of only two episodes that showed an actual Klingon flip top communicator similar to the ones the Starfleet crew had (The picture in the Star Trek Encyclopedia, 1997 edition, shows the character Kryton using one). The other episode was "Errand of Mercy". This communicator was originally seen as an Eminian one in the episode "A Taste of Armageddon". The Saurian brandy container makes its first appearance in the series for quite a while in this episode. The bottle is actually a George Dickel commemorative edition "powder horn" whiskey bottle (someone was obviously impressed by its unusual design). A very careful freeze-frame and zoom with your DVD player will reveal a sign next to Lieutenant Uhura's door, but it says simply "Lt. Uhura"! Absolutely no attempt was made to give her character a first name during the original series. During the battle with the Klingon vessel near the end of the episode, there are several camera angles on the bridge looking toward Kirk's back, the helm and the viewscreen. However, in these shots, it is obvious that the crewman at the navigator's console is not Chekov, despite many other shots of Chekov from other angles throughout the entire bridge scene. Chekov gets quite a lot of camera time in this episode, but very few spoken lines. The steps leading up to the transporter chamber were painted black for the third season.

WHOM GODS DESTROY / A quien destruyen los dioses. Ene 3, 1969 * guin de Lee Erwin * historia de Lee Erwin y Jerry Sohl * dirigido por Herb Wallerstein * msica de Fred Steiner * Fecha Estelar 5718.3: La Enterprise transporta una nueva droga al hospital mental de Elba II, donde se espera que los ltimos enfermos mentales peligrosos de la Federacin puedan ser finalmente tratados. Pero cuando Kirk y Spcok se transportan, no se dan cuenta de que las instalaciones han sido tomadas por los enfermos, liderados por Garth, un antiguo capitn de la Flota Estelar que tambien resulta ser un metamorfo. Antes

de que cualquiera de la Enterprise se de cuenta de lo que sucede en Elba II, Garth activa un escudo para evitar que el equipo de salida pueda escapar. Background Information
The title is taken from Euripedes (later quoted by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow): "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." (In Latin: "Quem deus vult perdere, dementat prius.") This is the third consecutive episode to guest star an actor from the Batman TV series--namely, Yvonne Craig. Contrary to popular belief, the Tellarites in TOS always had three fingers, even in the episode "Whom Gods Destroy." Although, upon closer inspection, the fingers are sleeker in appearance than they were in season two. "The Lights of Zetar" would be the only time we see a Tellarite with five fingers in TOS. Story outline was produced 26 July 1968. In the first draft script (5 September 1968) Garth of Titan threw the asylum guards out into the poisonous atmosphere. The atmosphere inside the asylum was also more graphic, with inmates displaying symptoms of various mental illnesses. Produced mid-October 1968. Garth's furred robe is the same one worn by Anton Karidian in "The Conscience of the King". Interestingly enough, while the Andorian inmate is wearing an almost boa-like red costume, one of the human inmates is wearing the traditional Andorian costume seen in the second season. Garth's uniform appears to be the same one worn by Commissioner Ferris in "The Galileo Seven". It also appeared in the 2nd season episode "Journey to Babel". However, Garth wears the outfit with one silver boot and one gold boot. The fight between the two Kirks is notable in that the unknown stunt double for William Shatner is his spitting image. Hairstyle, build, facial features are eerily similar. Footage of the Enterprise firing phasers down to the surface of a planet is reused from "Who Mourns for Adonais?". Space suits are reused from Template:EThe Tholian Web. Garth's torture chair is reused prop of the chair in the neural neutralizer room from "Dagger of the Mind". In the scene where Garth morphs back from being Kirk while on the floor of the conrol room, watch carefully: Garth's big plastic ring busts off and rolls on the floor as he bangs his fists. In the scene where Kirk is on the torture chair, when the torture ends at Marta's request, Kirk shows relief from the pain a small moment before the click of Garth's remote control actually shut the torture device off. This is the only episod where Spock performs a simultaneous double Vulcan nerve pinch on two distinct alien species while "waking up" from fake unconscience. Kirk tells Spock that he doubts King Solomon would have approved of the Vulcan's manner of determining who was Kirk and who was Garth. The two of them, and Dr. McCoy, would meet Solomon (an immortal human who was born Akharin and was then living as Flint) not long afterwards in TOS: "Requiem for Methuselah". Kirk refers to Spock as his "brother" and Spock agrees with this figurative interpretation of their relationship. Kirk would refer to Spock as his "brother" again in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. In the United Kingdom, the BBC skipped this episode in all runs of the series though to the early 1990s, due to its content. It was finally shown for the first time on 19 January 1994. Garth's self-coronation followed by the coronation of his female consort can be considered reminescent of the only known self-coronation in modern history: the one of Napolon Bonaparte to the status of Emperor of the French (followed by the coronation of Josphine de Beauharnais by him). This is in direct thematic correlation with Garth's delirius on the question of universal conquest. Spock's sentence Captain Kirk, I presume? is an allusion to the famous question asked by explorer Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904) to David Livingstone (1813-1873) on the shores of Lake Tanganyika on November 10, 1871: Doctor Livingstone, I presume? A statement of the obvious wrapped in euphemistic manners. Despite the apparent success of the drug in this episode being able to cure the mental illness of Garth and the other inmates, it seems never to have been employed again. In future episodes of TOS, the Enterprise crew encounters characters who are pronounced insane (such as Dr. Sevrin from "The Way to Eden" and Janice Lester from "Turnabout Intruder"), but no mention is made of using the drug introduced in this episode to cure them. Additionally, although the Elba II asylum is mentioned in this episode as being the last of its kind, mental asylums are mentioned as being maintained in future incarnations of Star Trek, such as the "Federation Funny Farm" from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Frame of Mind". This was the first episode produced without co-producer Bob Justman, who had been with the series, in different capacities, since the production of "The Cage" in 1964. He left the series to work on other projects, specifically the series Then Came Bronson. (According to the book Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, Justman broke a contract with Paramount Television, and didn't set foot on the lot for almost twenty years.) Coincidentally, the theme over the closing credits for this episode, and the rest of the series, reverted to the version used in the second season. Garth's comment about Marta being a "stupid cow" was edited out in the Nick-at-Nite version of the episode in 2007.

LET THAT BE YOUR LAST BATTLEFIELD / Que ese sea su ltimo campo de batalla. Ene 10, 1969 * guin de Oliver Crawford * historia de Lee Cronin * dirigido por Jud Taylor * msica de Fred Steiner * Fecha Estelar 5730.2: Dos nativos del planeta Cheron son subidos a bordo de la Enterprise despus de que uno de ellos ayude a la Enterprise a atrapar al otro que haba robado una lanzadera de una base estelar de la Federacin. Bele y Lokai, sin embargo, tienen una disputa que va ms all de una simple persecucin de un criminal. Su odio, y, de hecho, el incidente de la lanzadera, tiene sus races en unos prejudicios raciales muy profundos que amenazan no slo con engullirles a ellos, sino que tambien a la Enterprise y a la tripulacin de Kirk. Background Information
The original story concept did not have the aliens with bi-colored skin. It was episode director Jud Taylor who came up with the idea shortly before the episode began filming. His original suggestion was that they be halfblack/half-white, one color from the waist up and the other from the waist down, but each one opposite. The idea stuck, only the colors were finally separated vertically rather than horizontally. Bele and Lokai have normal human hair on their heads, but their eybrows are black and white to match their faces. Stock footage from "The Galileo Seven" is used for all of the shuttlecraft shots. This episode represents the last onscreen appearance of the hangar deck in the original series. The shuttlecraft will make one last appearance on the planet set of "The Way to Eden". Despite the fact that it has been stolen from Starbase IV, the shuttlecraft tractor beamed in the hangar deck is labeled NCC-1701. This is the last episode of the series written by Gene L. Coon a.k.a. Lee Cronin. This episode was filmed in early October 1968. This is the only episode in which we see the transporter room from the perspective of someone beaming down. There is a nice scene in this episode in which Lokai pleads his case with the Enterprise crew. In the only instance in the series other than "Charlie X" and "The Tholian Web", the door to a room on a functioning starship is not fully closed (in "Charlie X" it was the recreation room, in "The Tholian Web" it was the chapel). The door here is only open a few inches. This seems to have been done simply to allow Spock to eavesdrop on the conversation, although his hearing it doesn't end up having much bearing on the story. In a bizarre continuity error, although both Walter Koenig and George Takei are heard speaking lines of (dubbed) dialogue in this scene, Koenig is not in the room. No other episode in the original series features close-ups of the Enterprise model. Zoom shots from below and above the saucer section are used, representing some of the rare (perhaps only) 'beauty shots' of the ship filmed during the series. During the opening credits in the first scene, for example, the camera glides underneath the saucer to an exteme closeup of the saucer's phaser section and light. The self-destruct sequence from this episode is repeated exactly in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock; however, in Search for Spock, it is Scott who gives the second command in place of Spock, andChekov who gives the third command instead of Scott. Apparently any three officers of a certain rank and/or security clearance can activate the self destruct sequence. This makes sense in the event that one or more of the command crew have been killed in the crisis that has lead to a decision to destroy the vessel. The Enterprise goes from Ariannus to Cheron in about four minutes real time. This despite the fact that Cheron is supposed to be in a remote uncharted quarter of space. The "chase scene" between Lokai and Bele through the corridors of the Enterprise is mixed with footage of burning cities from air raids during World War II, as each imagines what has happened to their planet. Cheron, coincidentally, is rather close to the name of Pluto's moon (spelled "Charon"). The companion of our solar system's dwarf planet was discovered in 1978. In Greek mythology, Charon was the ferryman who took the dead across the River Styx. Bele's totally invisible ship perhaps is the most noticable effect of the biggest budget cut in the original series. Gorshin's costume in this episode is very similar to the one he wore as the Riddler in "Batman." The director included a weird effect in this episode. During the "Red Alerts," the camera would zoom in and out quickly on the blinking red alert signal, and was tilted at an angle, la "Batman". There are also several extreme

close-up shots of the red alert signal with a quick zoom-out to reveal the action in the scene. These effects were never used in any other episode. In the third season blooper reel, several sequences from this episode are featured. In one, Frank Gorshin does a James Cagney imitation while on the transporter pad. In another, he and Lou Antonio collide forcefully as they are running through the corridors. Finally, footage of nude swimmers in a pool was inserted at the point where Kirk asks, "Could it be a Romulan ship, using their cloaking device?" Oddly, Kirk says that Cheron is in the "Southernmost part of the galaxy". Technically, this is impossible, as "North" and "South" don't really exist in the vacuum of space. Possibly, this term was used to avoid using other, vaguer terms like "bottom". In one syndicated version of this episode, Spock's and Scotty's part of the self-destruct sequence were cut. Both Bele and Lokai wear gloves the entire episode, possibly to save the time and expense of making up the actors' hands. When Lokai is running through the corridor at the end of the episode toward the transporter room, he can be briefly seen holding a rope in his left hand as he follows the camera filming him down the corridor. This episode clearly influenced the Enterprise episode "Chosen Realm" with aliens descending to their planet to find that its inhabitants let their hate destroy themselves.

Kirk se encuentra para su sorpresa a bordo de la Enterprise, pero no puede localizar a nadie ms excepto a Odona, un miembro del gobierno, que no le da ninguna respuesta sobre por qu no hay nadie ms en la nave.

Background Information
The story for this episode was written by Stanley Adams, who previously played Cyrano Jones in TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles". Story outline 12 July 1968, filmed late October 1968. This episode features some genuinely eerie scenes, especially the phantom faces of the Gideon population spying on Kirk and Odana. There are a number of unique camera shots in this episode: one of Kirk shot through the glass table he is seated at; a shot of Krodak being transported while on the main viewscreen; a shot of the empty bridge from underneath one of the consoles opposite the turbolift; and an out-of-focus chess set in the foreground of an empty recreation room. This is the only episode in which we see an exterior viewing port. The only other time a window looking outside the ship is seen is on the observation deck in "The Conscience of the King". Of course, in this case, we are not on the real Enterprise. The exterior viewing port from this episode is the same design as the one used to witness Marta's execution in "Whom Gods Destroy". As we see the different rooms Kirk is calling from the bridge of the fake Enterprise (Engineering, Sickbay, the corridors), the red alert signal can be seen flashing silently in Sickbay. Both this episode and "Wink of an Eye" demonstrate how censorship of television had loosened up by 1968. Sterility, birth control and other issues of sexuality are openly discussed in both segments. There is a continuity error in this episode's teaser. We see Kirk beamed into the transporter room of the fake Enterprise, and we then see a shot from his point of view, looking out at the transporter console. However, the transporter pad that Kirk should be standing on is vacant. (The reverse angle of the transporter room was taken from a shot of an empty transporter room in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield.") Richard Derr, who plays Admiral Fitzgerald in this episode, previously appeared as Commodore Barstow in the episode "The Alternative Factor".

317. THAT WHICH SURVIVES / Aquello que sobrevive. Ene 24, 1969 * guin de John Meredyth Lucas * historia de Michael Richards * dirigido por Herb Wallerstein * msica de Fred Steiner * Fecha Estelar no dada: Kirk lidera a un equipo de salida para realizar una exploracin geolgica en un planeta inexplorado, pero antes de que se transporten, observan que una mujer aparece de la nada en la sala del transportador y mata a un tripulante solamente con tocarlo. Su aparicin tambien afecta a la Enterprise, mandndola lejos de cualquier radio de comunicacin y dejando a Kirk y a su equipo atrapados en la superficie del planeta. La mujer contina con sus apariciones, nombrando a su vctima al llegar y matndola por contacto. Sulu est a punto de morir a sus manos, cuando la mujer vuelve a aparecer otra vez en la Enterprise, y sabotea los motores de la nave para que no sean capazes de rescatar al equipo de exploracin de Kirk, dejndolos, as como a la tripulacin de la Enterprise, a merced de una asesina impredecible. Background Information
In the story outline, "Survival" (8 August 1968) the image of Losira was more brutal and caused crewmembers to fight amongst themselves in a manner that seems reminiscent of the Defiant's crew in "The Tholian Web". Final draft script 16 September 1968, filmed late September, early October. In a change from the standard planet set that was re-used so often on the series, an entire new set was created that could be "rocked" during the planetary quake. Although his name is mentioned after Sulu's attempted "Russian history lesson," the character of Chekov does not appear in this episode. A new set was also constructed for the matter/anti-matter access crawl way. This is the only example in TOS of people shown moving while in a transporter beam. In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, people are even able to talk while being transported. Sulu refers to the Tunguska Event in this episode. Although he suggests that the huge impact in Russia was a meteor, many scientists believe it might have been a comet that exploded in the Earth's atmosphere in 1908. The temperature of a phaser is established as 8,000 C in this episode. It is also learned that a tricorder can be set on automatic distress. Many prop-conscious fans have called this particular example a "geological tricorder," given that it was carried by D'Amato. It substitutes an intermittently glowing white panel for the usual tape discs, and a small tube for the moir-patterened left-hand disc. Franz Joseph combined elements of both varieties to depict a "medical tricorder" in the Star Fleet Technical Manual. Booker Bradshaw reprises his role as Dr. M'Benga in this episode. This is the second time Enterprise crewmembers create a resting place for a fallen comrade; it had happened before in the first season's "The Galileo Seven", where crewmembers Latimer and Gaetano were buried. Fabricated headstones were used for the Starnes expedition in "And the Children Shall Lead". Lt. Rahda is unique in several ways: she is the only woman in TOS to be at the helm for an entire episode (Yeoman Rand had "filled in" in "The Naked Time"). Ensign Jana Haines had been a female navigator in "The Gamesters of Triskelion" and Uhura had taken over navigation in "The Naked Time", "Balance of Terror", and "Court Martial". Rahda is also the only Indian woman to appear in the series. Captain Chandra and Lt. Singh were two males of Indian descent in previous episodes. The bypass valve room that Watkins enters consists of re-used pieces of the Yonada control room from "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky". The control panel was re-used from the Vians torture chamber in "The Empath". Kenneth Washington replaced Ivan Dixon in the final season of "Hogan's Heroes." In this episode, Sulu mentions the Hortas of Janus VI from "The Devil in the Dark". The fact that the bridge was a "wild" set, with stations that could be pulled out for filming, is especially apparent in this episode (Acts 1, 3 and 4). When Spock is notified of Ensign Wyatt's death, you can plainly see the forward edge of his science station, and Spock's hand over the edge. The bridge stations flow in a circle broken only by the turbolift and the screen; there are two large stations and one small one forward from the science station. The shot of Scotty manipulating the magnetic probe in the access crawl way is one of only three shots in the original series clearly showing the missing middle finger on James Doohan's right hand. He lost the finger after being shot in the hand, leg, and chest on D-Day during the the Allied invasion of Normandy as a member of the Royal Canadian Artillery. Ordinarily, Doohan's right hand was kept out of the shot or held in such a way as not to show this injury, even to the extent of using shots of other actor's hands when Scotty was manipulating the transporter. The other two original series episodes in which this is visible are "The Trouble with Tribbles" and "Catspaw". It is also visible in TNG episode "Relics", and in the film Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

The device McCoy uses to control the brainless Spock in "Spock's Brain" is reused in this episode; Mr. Spock is seen using it, though its purpose remains unknown.

THE LIGHTS OF ZETAR / Las luces de Zetar. Ene 31, 1969 * escrito por Jeremy Tarcher y Shari Lewis * dirigido por Herb Kenwith * msica de Alexander Courage * Fecha Estelar 5725.3: La Enterprise se dirige hacia Memory Alpha, el sitio donde se encuentra la mayor biblioteca y bases de datos de la Federacin para transferir a la Tte. Romaine a su nuevo destino, supervisar las obras de las nuevas instalaciones de Memory Alpha. Una nube de energia intercepta a la nave y siembra el caos en los instumentos de la Enterprise y en la tripulacin, afectando al cerebro de varios tripulantes y haciedno que la Tte. Romaine sufra un desmayo. La nube ataca acto seguido a Memory Alpha, evaporando a cualquier cosa viviente en el planetoide junto con la mayor parte de los datos de la biblioteca. Mira, que ha estado experimentando extraas visiones desde que la nube ataco a la Enterprise, es capaz de predecir que la nube va a regresar a las proximidades antes de que los sensores de la Enterprise puedan detectarla. Kirk ordena disparar los fsers para defender la nave, pero cada vez que la nube es acertada, la Tte. Romaine se resiente. McCoy determina que los seres energticos que hay en la nube estn enlazados telepticamente con la mente de la teniente. Blooper: Kirk tiene a Romaine en la cmara de presin e incrementa la presin a razn de una atmsfera por segundo. A ese ritmo debera haber sido aplastado como un insecto en menos de un minuto. Background Information
The planetoid Memory Alpha from this episode was the inspiration for this website's name. In a story outline (12 September 1968) Mira was Scotty's new engineering assistant and shared his fascination for machinery. Final draft script 28 October 1968, filmed early November. This was John Winston's only appearance during Star Trek's final season. This is also the last time the emergency manual monitor and engineering sets will be used. Engineering will be seen briefly in "The Savage Curtain", but this will be stock footage. Additionally, this is the final episode in which we will see a Tellarite and an Andorian in TOS. The co-writer of this episode was the Shari Lewis of "Lambchop" fame. She was a huge fan of Star Trek and fulfilled a dream by co-writing this episode with her husband. She also wanted to play Mira Romaine, but was not cast. This is the only time we see more of Dr. McCoy's lab, including an anti-grav tube. The Memory Alpha monitor room is a reused set from "Whom Gods Destroy". The third book in Wallace Moore's "Balzan of the Cat People" pulp SF series, 1975's "The Lights of Zetar," was apparently an homage to this episode.

Feb 14, 1969 * escrito por Jerome Bixby * dirigido por Murray Golden * msica de Fred Steiner Brahms parafraseada por Ivan Ditmars * Fecha Estelar 5843.7: En una misin urgente para conseguir el antdoto de una plaga que amenaza a la totalidad de los miembros de la Enterprise, Kirk, Spock y McCoy se transportan a Holberg 917-G para contactar con Flint con la esperanza de que les proporcione el remedio o al menos el raro material para sintetizar una vacuna. La encantadora y atractiva androide de Flint, Rayna, empieza a crear una rivalidad entre Kirk, por el cual comienza a enamorarse, y Flint, que la ha creado para que le haga compaa. Spock descubre que Flint podra ser un ser inmortal que ha influido en el pasado de la historia de la Tierra, y McCoy descubre que Flint se est muriendo lentamente. Pero Kirk no puede resolver su disputa con Flint al mismo tiempo que ayudar a Spock y McCoy a salvar a la tripulacin de la Enterprise.

Background Information
A requiem is a musical mass for the dead. Methuselah is the longest lived character in the Bible, having lived 969 years. In a story outline (dated 2 October 1968) the 8,000 year old Flint was also Beethoven (Spock's favorite composer because of his music's mathematical, logical construction), and Spock enabled Kirk to forget Rayna by using mental suggestion from a distance, while Kirk was in his cabin and Spock was on the bridge. First draft script 19 November 1968, filmed in early December. In the final scene in the episode, Spock causes Kirk to forget but not from a distance, but by touching his head and telling him to forget. Note resemblence to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, when Spock told McCoy to "Remember." Flint's castle is reused matte painting of the Rigel VII fortress from "The Cage". The Brahms paraphrase that Spock plays was written especially for this episode by Ivan Ditmars. Flint's viewscreen appears to be the Beta III lighting panel seen in "The Return of the Archons". It is also similiar to the one seen in "Where No Man Has Gone Before". This episode includes the newest footage of the Enterprise seen since "Mirror, Mirror", utilizing the 3-foot model built to demonstrate the Enterprise shape in 1964. Captain Kirk peers into the bridge of the Enterprise through the viewscreen, much like Q will do when he shrinks the USS Voyager to the size of a Christmas ornament in VOY: "Death Wish". Some of the furnishings in Flint's castle are recognizably recycled from previous episodes. Spock sits in the ornate chair used by Korob and Syvia in "Catspaw". In the outer room of Flint's laboratory, just in front of the vertical grill, you can see the female Romulan Commander's "communications box" from "The Enterprise Incident". In the same room, the back walls are lined with the consoles from the Elba II control room in "Whom Gods Destroy". In the third season blooper reel, there is a shot of the M-4 on its dolly mount, being wheeled toward William Shatner by its operator. This episode is referenced in Voyager's 4th season episode "Concerning Flight", in which Captain Kathryn Janeway mentions that Captain Kirk claimed to have met Leonardo da Vinci.

Feb 21, 1969 * guin de Arthur Heinemann * historia de Michael Richard y Arthur Heinemann * dirigido por David Alexander * msica de Fred Steiner * Fecha Estelar 5832.3: Persiguiendo a la USS Aurora, la cual ha sido robada, Kirk transporta a la tripulacin de la Aurora a la Enterprise cuando la larga persecucin a alta velocidad sobrecargan los motores de la nave robada y sta es destruda. Los ladrones resultan ser una versin moderna de "hippies", incluyendo entre ellos al prestigioso cientfico Dr. sevrin. Otro de los ladrones es el hijo de un embajador de la Federacin, que se dirige al Mando de la Flota Estelar para conseguir que Kirk les permita a sus nuevos pasajeros circular libremente por la Enterprise. Sevrin y sus amigos cogen ventaja de su nueva libertad recien encontrada y deciden secuestrar la Enterprise para reanudar su misin interrumpida por la que robaron la Aurora: encontrar el mtico planeta de Eden, un mundo paradisiaco en el que esperan encontrar salud, pureza y felicidad. Nota: El planeta Eden es mencionado tambien en "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier", y aunque Sybok obviamente estaba pensando en un Eden diferente cuando l y sus seguidores tomaron el control de la Enterprise para el mismo propsito que el Dr. Sevrin y compaa, Kirk, quizas recordando esta aventura, advierte varias veces en "The Final Frontier" que Eden, como planeta, es un mito. Background Information
Story outline revised, 27 August 1968, further revisions 5 September 1968. The character of Irina Galliulin was originally to be Joanna McCoy, daughter of Dr. McCoy, and to be a love interest for Captain Kirk (the episode's original title was "Joanna"), but that script was later rejected. The episode was filmed in late November 1968. Joanna was also supposed to appear in an episode in season four, but again, it was not to be. Brief cuts of the surface of Eden were shots reused of the planet from "Shore Leave". The hijacked Class F shuttlecraft was the oft-used Galileo, although in this adventure she bore the name Galileo II. The spacecraft Aurora is a Tholian ship with AMT model kit nacelles added to it. It is shown in the preview trailer without the nacelles.

To create reaction shots of Kirk that were not filmed, several shots of William Shatner are repeated, printed backwards. Charles Napier wrote some of the songs he sings in this episode. Although this episode has dated poorly compared to many of the original Star Trek episodes, some of the lyrics are very evocative of the counterculture movement of the late '60s. Napier has appeared in many television series since Star Trek, often as villains, military types and mean-spirited characters, in sharp contrast to the goofy and rather likable Adam. He appears in Star Trek again, in DS9: "Little Green Men", where he plays Rex Denning. In the scene in which Spock plays his Vulcan harp for Adam (the last time he plays the instrument on screen), the background music for Uhura's song from "Charlie X" is recycled. Nurse Chapel's collapse, as well as the collapse of other crewmembers in the corridor, is reused footage from "Spock's Brain". This is why the lights go out in sickbay during that shot, while they are functioning normally elsewhere on the ship. In his conversation with Sevrin, Spock refers to HQ as "Federation", rather than "The Federation." Kirk as well as Lt. Palmer often refers to "Starbase" as if there is only one. Look very carefully and you will see Gary Mitchell's Kaferian apple tree in the foliage on Eden. Sulu still lists botany as his hobby of choice. Watch Roger Holloway jamming to the music on the bridge, one of his few opportunities to emote in the series. Many fans have reacted negatively to this episode because of Spock's jam session with the young rebels; however, he himself points out that he identifies with them because he also feels like an outsider. Chekov's character is portrayed in this episode as a rigid, rule-quoting straight arrow, in contrast to the writers' initial concept of the character as a younger, less authoritarian character who might appeal to teenage viewers. One of the interesting predictions of this episode is that sterile, technological societies can lead to development of virulent bacterial strains. This has indeed come to pass in our time with bacteria that have grown resistant to antibiotics. Some scientists also believe that our sterile environment causes the immune system to become hyperactive, leading to increased incidence of allergies. Others believe that sterile environments prevent the immune system from becoming fully active thus increasing the tendency for infection upon exposure to non-sterile conditions. The corridor outside the auxiliary control room as Scott tries to phaser through the door is very narrow, not like any of the corridors seen in other episodes. According to the late James Doohan, this was the only episode of the series that he did not like. Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) does not appear in this episode. Lt. Palmer, who fills in, makes her second and final TOS appearance. Skip Homeier also starred in "Patterns of Force" as Melakon. Spock's desire to find Eden is further explained in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, although it is likely the stories were never intended to be linked. Star Trek V closely parallels some of this episode's plot points, too. The references to the insult "Herbert" and the official it was named after were inserted at the behest of production executive Douglas S. Cramer. It is thought that they were digs at his predecessor, Herbert F. Solow, though Herbert Hoover has also been suggested as a target. In the wide shots of Auxiliary Control, you can see what appears to be an AC power cord protruding from the base of the control panel. Spock uncharacteristically stammers when explaining to Captain Kirk what "Herbert" means.

Feb 28, 1969 * guin de Margaret Armen * historia de David Gerrold y Oliver Crawford * dirigido por Jud Taylor * msica de Fred Steiner * Fecha Estelar 5818.4: Habiendose transportado para recoger un cargamento de zenita del planeta Ardana, hogar de Stratos, una ciudad que flota sobre la superficie del planeta, Kirk y Spock son emboscados por unos mineros conocidos como los Troglytas. El ataque es detenido por la llegada de Plasus, un alto consejero de Stratos, que dice que un grupo de Troglytas rebeldes han sido los que probablemente hayan robado el cargamento de zenita que falta. En Stratos, que segn Plasus es seguro, hay tambien evidencias del terrorismo Troglyta. Kirk y Spock descubren que los moradores de Stratos viven una vida de comodidades gracias a los recursos mineros nicos de su planeta a expensas de los Troglytas, que no reciben ningn beneficio por extraera

dichos recursos. Cuando McCoy descubre que la valiosa zenita que est siendo extrada por los Troglytas tiene un efecto adverso en su salud, Kirk decide equilibrar la balanza en favor de la igualdad. Blooper: Cuando Kirk y Spock son capturados, Kirk dice algo como "Cul es el sentido de este ataque?", pero su boca no se mueve. Background Information
David Gerrold came up with the original story concept for this episode (called "Castles in the Air"), but it was changed greatly when brought to the screen. Gerrold hated the changes that were made and disowned the re-write. "Revolt" was another title used for the script before the final title was selected. The episode was filmed midNovember 1968. A line of dialogue forgotten in the filming of this episode was dubbed in later by Shatner, but Kirk's mouth is not even moving as he says, "Who are you? What is the meaning of this attack?" Some recent telecasts have cut that line. The image of the planet from the cloud city is actually a shot of the Arabian Peninsula taken by an Apollo spacecraft. Fred "The Hammer" Williamson was a former professional football player. Garth Pillsbury had previously appeared as the devious Wilson in "Mirror, Mirror". Jeff Corey was one of Leonard Nimoy's acting teachers. Typical of third season budget constraints, when Garth Pillsbury leaps from the cloud city, his falling body is an unconvincing animated figure receding into the distance, similar to Edmund Gwynn's fall from the Tower of London in "Foreign Correspondent". Spock is out of character in several segments of this episode. He tells Droxine that Vulcans pride themselves on their logic, yet pride is a Human emotion as Amanda Grayson points out to Sarek in "Journey to Babel" . Moreover, as many have observed, Spock was extremely reluctant to talk about pon farr with his good friend the captain in "Amok Time", yet he freely discusses it with Droxine. An amusing irony of this conversation is that, as Spock discusses the mating drive with Droxine, Kirk is wrestling with Vanna. There is a line of repetitive dialogue in this episode: "For what purpose?" is asked by three different characters. The city of Stratos viewed from the planet's surface by Kirk and Spock was not a matte shot it was simply a cutout hung from the studio ceiling by a wire. Once again, Matt Jefferies managed to create a futuristic city with imaginative set design, all on a shoestring budget. Among the set decorations is an early fiber optic lamp. The covered dish containing Vanna's lunch is identical to the ones used aboard the Enterprise. The sliding bars to Kirk's cell on Stratos appear to be re-worked versions of the ones used in "By Any Other Name". Footage of Spock working the transporter as he beams up Kirk and Plasus is undercranked to make it look like the Vulcan is operating the device more quickly than normal. The torture machine used on Vanna is very similar to the agony booth of "Mirror, Mirror" The visual of the planet Ardana from orbit is reused footage previously representing Alfa 177 in "The Enemy Within", M-113 in "The Man Trap", The iron-silica planet in ""The Alternative Factor" and Argus X in "Obsession". It would seem that an as yet unavailable technology advancement, the site-to-site transport, would have been more appropriate to bring Plasus to the subterranean mine where Kirk and Vanna are located. Instead, Spock and Scott had to first beam him to the Enterprise, and then quickly beam his pattern to the mine, before he could realize what is going on.

Una criatura rocosa aparece y presenta a Kirk y a Spock a otras cuatro figuras ilusionarias de la historia, siendo esta vez conquistadores feroces, tiranos y villanos del pasado, desde el Genghis Khan de la Tierra hasta Kahless el Inolvidable, que, al igual que Surak hizo por Vulcano, sent los estandares de violencia para los Klingons. La criatura enfrenta a lo mejor y ms noble (Kirk, Spock, Lincoln y Surak) contra las figuras ms diablicas de la historia. Las recompensas para Kirk y Spock, si consiguen sobrevivir, son sus vidas y las de todo el mundo a bordo de la Enterprise. Background Information
Final draft script 6 December 1968, filmed mid-December. This episode marks the second time TOS encounters a silicon-based lifeform. The first time is in "The Devil in the Dark". Janos Prohaska played both lifeforms, with Bart LaRue supplying the Excalibian's voice. When Abraham Lincoln asks if the crew still measures time in minutes Kirk says "We can convert to it." This is obviously not true, as there are numerous examples in prior episodes in which even Spock expresses time in minutes (e.g., "The Tholian Web"). Arell Blanton was hired for this episode because of his military background, needed for the welcoming ceremony for Abraham Lincoln. He was in an episode of M*A*S*H years later for the same reason. A boatswain's whistle is used by Lt. Dickerson to welcome Lincoln aboard. This is the "hailing" signal used on board the ship, which was one of many ways that Gene Roddenberry brought naval traditions aboard starships. We will see an electronic boatswain's whistle in Star Trek II. This episode marks the final appearance of Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) in the series. The episode also marks the final appearance of a Klingon in TOS. From whatever "source" Kahless was created, he apparently had a talent for mimicking voices (this was ignored in TNG). When Kirk thanks Mr. Lemli, it sounds suspiciously like "Mr. Mulney." William Shatner, who's well-known for his "unique" pronunciations, garbles Lemli's name in other episodes, too (e.g. "Turnabout Intruder"). Both of the "real-life" figures recreated by the Excalbians, Abraham Lincoln and Genghis Khan served as a visual inspiration for the look of the Klingons. John Colicos, the first actor to play a Klingon, suggested that the make-up artist make him look like "a futuristic Genghis Khan" and the look of David Warner as Chancellor Gorkon in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country was designed to resemble Lincoln. Three of the historical figures introduced in this episode appeared in some form in later Star Trek series. Kahless (or at least a clone of him) appeared in TNG: "Rightful Heir", Jonathan Archer possessed and spoke to the katra of Surak in ENT: "Awakening", and archival footage of Colonel Green addressing a crowd was watched by John Frederick Paxton in ENT: "Demons". Kirk and the Enterprise crew encountered Abraham Lincoln again in the non-canon 1971 Gold Key comic book story "The Legacy of Lazarus". Shatner splits his pants at 28:04 into the episode, during a fight between Kirk and Colonel Green. Of the four "good guys," only Kirk kills. He defeats Kahless and Green in combat. Yarnek appears to have been filmed from two perspectives. His more-common appearance is as a "living rock" formation in a clearing. However, in the other shot (which was used twice), he's shown in front of a large rock wall. The latter may have been filmed as a "reaction" shot after principal photography was already completed. After Yarnek introduces the "good guys" and the "bad guys" and lays the ground rules, he "morphs" back into an ordinary boulder. A few minutes later, however, during the first fight sequence, he has "magically" re-morphed into his "living" incarnation off-screen (this is the shot of him against the rock wall). Yarnek is never named in dialogue. Even in the closed captioning, he's merely credited as "Excalbian."

horas, Kirk, Spock y McCoy descubren en la superficie lo que ya haban indicado los sensores de la nave: ninguna forma de vida, aunque obviamente habia existido una vez una civilizacin avanzada. Sin embargo se encuentran con varias copias del bibliotecario de Sarpiedon, Mr. Atoz. Algunos de los clones son amables, otros beligerantes, pero todos ellos les dicen al equipo de salida que toda la poblacin de Sarpiedon ya ha escapado a un lugar seguro, y Atoz, pensando que Kirk y los otros son nativos que han llegado tarde, les aconseja que hagan lo mismo. La biblioteca resulta contener unos archivos de "periodos temporales" a los que un mecanismo que Atoz llama el atavachron puede transportarles, com ya ha proporcionado una va de escape para el resto de los habitantes de la luna. Al oir el grito de una mujer, pero sin darse cuenta que est al otro lado del portal temporal del atavachron, Kirk salta hasta un periodo temporal similar al del siglo XIX, y Spock y McCoy acaban en una era glaciar intentando rescatarlo. Los tres deben intentar sobrevivir el tiempo suficiente en sus respectivos entornos para que el portal temporal los devuelva a Sarpiedon, si todava existe la luna en el siglo XXIII cuando regresen. Background Information
The title for this episode is from Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act V, Scene 5, line 22: "And all our yesterdays have lighted fools/ The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle." Other episodes with titles from Shakespeare are TOS: "Dagger of the Mind", "The Conscience of the King", "By Any Other Name"; TNG: "Thine Own Self"; and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Story outline, "A Handful of Dust" 23 September 1968, had Spock and McCoy trapped in a desert wasteland, with McCoy dying from the desert heat when the pair was captured by misshapen humanoids, and there was no Zarabeth. Kirk was trapped in a period which resembled San Francisco's Barbary Coast, but returns to the library with another time traveler. At the end the time traveler who helped Kirk destroys the time portal. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy flee the building and it ages to a hollowed ruin behind them. Kirk picks up a tattered book and it literally crumbles to dust in his hands. [1] William Shatner later starred in a short-lived TV series called Barbary Coast. Final draft script 12 December 1968, revised final draft five days later, filmed late December. A scene in the story draft that, unfortunately, did not end up being filmed, would have had McCoy "stuck" in the time doorway, with part of his body in the present and the rest in the past. Mr. Atoz's name is a word play a librarian named "A to Z." Author Jean Lisette Aroeste was a UCLA librarian at the time she wrote this script. Spock's claim that Vulcan is "millions of light years away" from Sarpeidon seems impossible. The USS Voyager was thrown only 70,000 light-years away from Federation space in "Caretaker", which at maximum warp, would take seventy-five years to return to. If Spock's claim was true, the Enterprise would never be able to return to Vulcan (or Earth, for that matter) again. The only way this could make sense would be if Spock intended to refer to another unit, or was referring to Vulcan or Sarpeidon light-years. According to David Gerrold at a 1986 Star Trek convention in Spokane, Washington, the inventors of the compact disc got their inspiration from the data discs used in Mr. Atoz's library. Gerrold's information was almost certainly nothing more than a guess or even a joke on his part, though, as James Russell is generally credited with inventing the compact disc three years prior to this episode in 1965, ending up with a total of 22 patents for various aspects of it. It is possible that Kirk's description to the prosecutor of Earth as an island was a tribute to the science fiction film This Island Earth. Bantam Books published a series of novelizations called "foto-novels," which took photographic stills from actual episodes and arranged word balloons and text over them, to create a comic book formatted story. The sixth installment was an adaptation of this episode. The brief swordfight scene is the only outdoor shot in the series after "The Paradise Syndrome". George Takei (Sulu), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) and Walter Koenig (Chekov) do not appear in this episode. James Doohan (Scotty) does not appear on screen but has several voice-over lines. The interior of the Enterprise is not seen in this episode while the ship itself is only seen in the first and last scenes. This is the only episode of the original series in which none of the action takes place aboard the ship. Mariette Hartley (Zarabeth) was not allowed to show her belly-button in this episode, despite the appearances of other navels in previous episodes. To comment on this censorship, Gene Roddenberry gave Hartley's character two navels in his pilot, "Genesis II." Gene also said he gave her two navels because he felt "the network owed me one." According to the stardate this episode is chronologically the last of the series, even though its production number and air date are earlier. It would be interesting to know if Star Trek history would have been different if this episode aired last instead of "Turnabout Intruder". It is unlikely that it could have prevented the cancellation, though, since that was already written in stone by this time. Interestingly, although this is the penultimate episode of the series, All Our Yesterdays is (alphabetically speaking) the first episode!

The stock footage showing the endless snow fields on the disc McCoy watches was also used as the surface of Exo III in "What Are Little Girls Made Of?". The atavachron device is the reused prop of Gary Seven's computer from "Assignment: Earth". The floor of the Sarpeidon library is identical to the floor of the asylum on Elba II in "Whom Gods Destroy". Kirk leaves his phaser pistol behind in Sarpeidon's past. The novels Yesterday's Son and Time for Yesterday are non-canon follow-ups to this episode, concerning a conceived child of Spock and Zarabeth named "Zar."

Lester, una antigua colega de Kirk de la Academia de la Flota que siempre le envidi debido a su incapacidad de conseguir una capitana en una Flota Estelar hecha solamente para capitanes de sexo masculino, Kirk accede a quedarse inconsciente a peticin de Lester. Esto resulta ser una trampa y Lester se introduce dentro de Kirk gracias a un artefacto desconocido que transfiere sus mentes al cuerpo del otro.

Background Information
This is the final episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. Regular blonde Christine Chapel appears with auburn hair in this episode only. Uhura is the only regular character absent in this, the final episode. The actress, Nichelle Nichols, had a singing engagement at the time. Jeffrey Hunter, who had played Christopher Pike in the first pilot episode The Cage, had passed away a week before Turnabout Intruder aired. After two years on the series, Roger Holloway finally gets to speak dialogue all of two words. His character's name (Lemli) was the same as William Shatner's license plate at the time, a mixture of his daughters' (Leslie, Melanie, Lisabeth) names. Although the briefing room is never shown to have more than one exit, Janice/Kirk finds some way to leave the room without using the main door after her temper-tantrum. The cast in fact got into an argument with director Herb Wallerstein over this error (he won), showing they greatly cared about their series, even as it was coming to an end. Dr. Coleman wears one of the ubiquitous orange jumpsuits seen in "The Devil in the Dark", "By Any Other Name", "The Empath" and "The Lights of Zetar." Lieutenant Galloway reappears in this episode, despite being killed by Ronald Tracey in The Omega Glory. He was credited as Galloway (misspelled as "Galoway") even though actor David L. Ross had been recast as Lieutenant Johnson in "Day of the Dove" after the character of Galloway was killed off. The glass canister in McCoy's lab contains a very strange brown blob in this episode, probably a humanoid brain. The name of the planet Camus II may have been a reference to French writer Albert Camus and his novel "The Stranger"--an appropriate nod to this episode. The planet Benecia is pronounced differently in this episode than it was in "The Conscience of the King", i.e. "behNEE-shee-a" as opposed to "beh-neh-SEE-a". There is a detailed account of the filming of this episode in the 1975 book, Star Trek Lives! Co-author Joan Winston had the opportunity to spend six days on the set while "Turnabout Intruder" was being shot. Winston

wrote that Shatner was very ill with the flu at the time, and had considerable difficulty in picking up and carrying Sandra Smith, the actress who played Dr. Lester for take after take. This episode was inspired by Thorne Smith's 1931 comedic novel Turnabout, in which a husband and wife switch bodies. That novel also inspired a short-lived 1979 TV series that starred Sharon Gless and John Schuck. In this episode, Kirk mentions the events of two previous episodes (TOS: "The Empath", "The Tholian Web") to Spock. The set crew's nickname for this show was "Captain Kirk, Space Queen." The final four episodes of the series opened with the same music cue, taken from the opening titles of "Spock's Brain" and the final two episodes ended with the closing music cue from "Elaan of Troyius." Leonard Nimoy (Spock) and Majel Barrett (Nurse Christine Chapel) are the only actors to appear in both this episode and first pilot "The Cage." Leonard Nimoy is the only actor to appear in every episode of the series. (William Shatner appeared in every episode with the exception of the first pilot, "The Cage.") According to writer Joan Winston (referenced above), who was on the set for the filming of this episode, NBC passed on an option for two additional episodes (a 25th and 26th) for the third season. William Shatner would have directed the twenty-sixth episode. The final scene ever filmed for the original series was of William Shatner and Sandra Smith in front of the alien transference machine. Even as filming was wrapping up, crew members were dismantling the Enterprise sets. Filming was completed on 9 January 1969. A scheduled airdate of 28 March 1969 was pre-empted by news coverage of the death of former president Dwight D. Eisenhower. This episode was not aired until 3 June for that reason. In his Star Trek Compendium, author Allan Asherman credits Sandra Smith as the only actor besides William Shatner to have "played" James T. Kirk. Starfleet's General Orders appear to have been changed by this time. Sulu and Chekov say that violating General Order 4 warrants the death penalty. In The Menagerie, Part I, though, it was stated that violation of General Order 7 was the "only death penalty left on the books." Lester orders the executions to take place on the hangar deck, with section representatives to be on hand to witness punishment. For story reasons, Janice Lester convalesces in a private, never-before-seen room down the corridor from Sickbay. In James Blish's novelization of "Turnabout Intruder" in Star Trek 5, Dr. Arthur Coleman's first name is "Howard" - probably left over from an earlier draft of the script. Although this was the last episode of the Original Series to be filmed and aired, this episode has a lower stardate than the previous episode, "All Our Yesterdays". Spock tells Kirk (in Lester's body) that he has never heard of a successful life-entity transfer being conducted, apparently forgetting the events in Return to Tomorrow.

Biografas
James Tiberius Kirk
Lugar de nacimiento: Tierra-EEUU-Iowa: Riverside. Fecha de nacimiento: 26 de marzo de 2233, fecha estelar 1277.1 Naves a las que fue asignado: USS Republic, USS Farragut y USS Alexander. Comando: USS Enterprise y USS Enterprise A. HISTORIAL: James T. Kirk ingres a la Academia de la Flota Estelar a los 17 aos de edad, gradundose de la misma en 2254, siendo el primero de su clase y con calificaciones inmejorables. La primera asignacin fue en la nave USS Republic, como alfrez. Durante una misin previno una explosin en la nave y por este logro fue promovido a teniente. A los 23 aos fue asignado al USS Farragut, al mando del capitn Garrovik, pero en una misin de exploracin la mitad de la tripulacin fue asesinada por una criatura nubosa que se alimentaba de glbulos rojos humanos. James Kirk llevara las cargas de esas muertes por muchos aos, ya que pensaba que l podra haber evitado dicha catstrofe. Despus de haber permanecido asignado al destructor USS Alexander por unos aos, en 2263 obtuvo su cargo ms importante en la Flota: sucedi a Christoper Robin Pike en la capitana del USS Enterprise, la nave insignia de la Flota. Esto convirti a James Kirk en el oficial ms joven en ser nombrado capitn de una nave espacial. Pocos meses despus parte en misin de exploracin a sectores desconocidos de la galaxia, con la tarea de encontrar nuevos mundos y formas de vida. La misin tuvo una duracin de 5 aos; durante ella James Kirk se gan la admiracin, respeto y odio de muchas personas y razas. Tena como primera directiva proteger la nave y su tripulacin y la no intervencin en la vida de otras razas. Al finalizar los 5 aos de misin fue ascendido al rango de Almirante y jefe de operaciones de la Flota. En este puesto duro pocos aos, ya que fue asignado nuevamente al comando del USS Enterprise en remplazo del capitn William Decker al producirse un incidente con una entidad llamada V'ger. Ya pensando en su futuro retiro y siendo inspector en la Flota Estelar, le es asignado nuevamente el USS Enterprise a causa de un problema con el proyecto Gnesis y con su peor enemigo, Khan. Para derrotar a este ser diablico, Kirk tuvo que poner todo de si, pero el costo fue muy alto: la muerte de Spock. Luego de derrotar a Khan, James Kirk descubre que antes de morir Spock ha implantado su Katra en el Dr. Mc Coy, por lo que decide robar el USS Enterprise y regresar al planeta Gnesis para salvar a su amigo. Durante esta travesa Kirk pierde en manos de los Klingons a la nave y a su hijo, el Dr. David Marcus. En contrapartida logra salvar a Spock, pero deben ir a Vulcano para reincorporar el Katra de Spock a su cuerpo. Tras 3 meses de estar en Vulcano deciden regresar y enfrentar las consecuencias de sus actos. En el trayecto del viaje reciben una seal que alerta del peligro de una sonda que se acerca a la Tierra y que destruye todo a su paso. Viajan a travs del tiempo, al ao 1986, donde deben capturar 2 ballenas para detener a la sonda aliengena. Luego de regresar en el tiempo y de detener la sonda, son absueltos de todos los cargos, menos del de desobedecer rdenes de un oficial superior. Degradado de Almirante a Capitn, James Kirk es asignado al mando de la nueva USS Enterprise NCC 1701-A. En el ao 2293 su ayuda fue importantisima para permitir una relacin de paz con los Klingons impidiendo un atentado en la conferencia de Khitomer. A finales de ese ao fue invitado al viaje inaugural del USS Enterprise B, pero la nave sufre un accidente con una ola de energa y, en principio, se cree que James Kirk ha fallecido. Rescatado del Nexus en el ao 2371 por el Capitn Jean Luc Picard, Kirk muere heroicamente al detener al malvolo El-Auriano Soran. James t. Kirk tuvo una vida llena de alegras y peligros, y muri como l hubiese querido: salvando la vida de los dems.

Spock
Spock: Oficial cientfico a bordo del Enterprise original, bajo el comando del capitn Kirk. Naci en Vulcano en el ao 2230. Hijo del Embajador Vulcano Sarek y de la maestra terrquea Amanda Grayson. Por esta situacin Spock estaba dividido entre dos mundos: la severa lgica Vulcana y lo emocional de su lado humano. La pugna por reconciliar sus dos mitades lo atormentara la mayor parte de su vida. Su nmero de servicio en la flota es S 179-276SP. En 2267 Spock gan la Legin de Honor Vulcana clase cientfica, fue condecorado dos veces por el Comando de la Flota y mantiene una clasificacin A7 como experto en computadoras. El grupo de sangre de Spock es T negativo. Cuando tena 5 aos, volvi a su casa atormentado porque le decan que no era totalmente Vulcano. De nio tena un mascota Shelat, una clase de vida Vulcana parecida a un oso. Fue criado junto a su medio hermano mayor, Sybok, hasta que ste fue condenado al ostracismo por la sociedad Vulcana porque rechazaba los dogmas de la lgica pura. Spock debi sobrellevar los considerables juicios antihumanos por parte de muchos Vulcanos, y es probable que esa experiencia le haya hecho ms fcil encontrar un hogar en la comunidad de la Flota. A la edad de 7 aos fue unido telepticamente con la joven Vulcana llamada T'Pring. Menos que un matrimonio, pero ms que un compromiso, el toque teleptico los unira a ambos cuando llegaran a la edad indicada. Esta costumbre se llama PON FARR y es la forma en que los Vulcanos buscan pareja. Una vez cada siete aos sienten que su sangre explota y deben controlar los sentimientos que se acumulan es su mente hasta el momento de ir a tomar a su pareja, en un complejo rito donde la Sacerdotisa de Vulcano hace las presentaciones y la mujer decide si se une a su hombre o pide el KOON-UT-KAL-IF-FEE, que significa casamiento o duelo. Si elige la segunda opcin, los hombres deben enfrentarse a muerte y el ganador se queda con la mujer. Se menciona que este rito es lo nico que queda de sus antepasados y que es una accin privada que altera su comportamiento lgico. Sarek, su padre, esperaba que Spock concurriera a la Academia Vulcana de Ciencias, y estuvo en desacuerdo cuando en su lugar ingres a la Academia de la Flota Estelar. Spock y su padre no se hablaron durante 18 aos, hasta que una enfermedad mdica los uni y reconcili. Spock fue el primer Vulcano en enlistarse en la Flota Estelar y se distingui como oficial cientfico a bordo del Enterprise original. Su primera asignacin al Enterprise fue bajo el comando del capitn Christopher Pike, con quien trabaj durante 11 aos y cuatro meses. Tiempo despus, al sufrir un grave accidente el capitn Pike, el comando del Enterprise fue puesto en manos de James Kirk. Despus de la conclusin de la misin de cinco aos con Kirk, Spock se retir de la Flota Estelar y regres a Vulcano para logra la disciplina del KHOLINAR, la cual no pudo completar al ser interrumpido por la amenaza del V'Ger en 2271. Spock, subsecuentemente, permaneci en la Flota Estelar y eventualmente fue promovido a Capitn del Enterprise cuando la nave fue asignada a la Academia de la Flota. Spock falleci en 2285 mientras salvaba al Enterprise. Su cuerpo fue confinado al espacio, cayendo en el planeta Gnesis. Spock tuvo tiempo, antes de su muerte, de fusionar su mente con la del Dr. McCoy. Spock trataba, a travs de su amigo, de que su Katra lograra volver a Vulcano en armona, tal como determina la costumbre Vulcana. La presencia del espritu viviente de Spock en la mente de McCoy fue, ms tarde, el fundamento que dio la extraordinaria oportunidad de reunir el Katra de Spock con su cuerpo cuando l mismo fue rescatado del planeta Gnesis. Spock sobrellev varios meses de reeducacion, durante los cuales su mente fue instruida en forma Vulcana, pero su madre Amanda se interes en que l recuperara el conocimiento de su condicin y herencia humana. Tiempo despus eligi regresar a la Tierra para enfrentar los cargos que haba en contra de Kirk y la tripulacin por la violacin de la reglas de la Flota Estelar cometida durante su rescate. En los aos posteriores, el trabajo de Spock se torn ms diplomtico que cientfico, aun mientras formaba parte de la Flota Estelar. A pedido de Sarek, Spock sirvi como enviado especial de la Federacin ante el gobierno Klingon en 2293, preparando el camino para un acuerdo de paz con el Canciller Azetbur. En 2368, Spock viaj secretamente a Romulus en una misin personal para apoyar la causa Romulano-Vulcana de la unificacin. La desaparicin de Spock caus gran consternacin entre las autoridades de la Federacin, y el Enterprise D fue enviado para determinar su paradero e intenciones. Spock fue traicionado por su contacto en Romulus, el Senador Pardek, el cual tena las intenciones de invadir Vulcano. Despus del intento de invasin, Spock eligi permanecer en secreto en Romulus con la esperanza de adelantar y

promover la causa de la reunificacin. Spock continu sus actividades en las cuevas subterrneas Romulanas, y en 2369 colabor con los arreglos para la desercin del Vice-Procnsul Romulano M'Ret. Spock indic que crea que el escape de M'Ret podra ayudar a establecer una ruta de escape para otros Romulanos disidentes que vivan con miedo por sus vidas.

Viendo que su padre atravesaba una horrible y dolorosa agona, McCoy piadosamente desconect a su padre de la mquina que lo mantena con vida, permitindole morir en paz. Sin embargo, y para profundizar su angustia, poco despus de este hecho fue descubierta una cura para la enfermedad, por lo que Leonard McCoy debi cargar la culpa por la innecesaria muerte de su padre por muchos aos. Antes de su asignacin al Enterprise, McCoy se relacion romnticamente con la futura Nancy Crater. En 2253 desarroll una tcnica de neurociruga que fue utilizada en 2372 por el Holograma Mdico de Emergencia del Voyager para reparar el dao en la corteza cerebral de Danara Pel. Leonard McCoy se uni por primera vez a la tripulacin del Enterprise en 2266, y se mantuvo relacionado con esa ilustre nave y su sucesora por alrededor de 27 aos. En 2267 sufri una importante sobredosis de cordrazina en un accidente. A causa de las alucinaciones paranoides que le siguieron, McCoy afect seriamente la continuidad temporal hasta que Kirk y Spock lograron restaurar el curso de la historia.

Aos ms tarde, ambos se reencontraron cuando Galliulin visit el mtico planeta Eden acompaada por el Dr. Sevrin. En 2267, Chekov fue el nico miembro de la comitiva del Enterprise en Gamma Hydra IV que no fue afectado por una enfermedad de envejecimiento. Durante la misin, Chekov se espant al ver un colono muerto, y este hecho aumento sus niveles de adrenalina la cual lo protegi de la radiacin causante del proceso de envejecimiento. Chekov fue promovido a teniente y asignado como Jefe de Seguridad a bordo del Enterprise luego de que concluyeran los primeros cinco aos de misin de la nave al mando de Kirk. Ms tarde Chekov sirvi a bordo del U.S.S. Reliant como primer oficial bajo el comando del Capitn Clark Terrell, aunque regres al Enterprise antes de que la Reliant fuera destruida en la nebulosa Mutara por Khan. Chekov, junto a Scotty y a Kirk, furon los invitados de honor en el viaje inaugural del U.S.S. Enterprise-B en 2294.

El misterio de la fecha estelar

En la Serie Original, las fechas estelares estaban compuestas por cuatro dgitos. Para demostrar que el tiempo haba pasado, los productores de Star Trek: The Next Generation decidieron utilizar fechas estelares de cinco dgitos. Eligieron comenzar la fecha estelar con el nmero 4, debido a que el programa estaba ubicado en el siglo 24. El siguiente dgito significaba el nmero de temporada de TNG (por lo cual en los episodios de la primera temporada las fechas estelares eran 41xxx.x, en los de la temporada dos 42xxx.x, y as sucesivamente). Los dgitos restantes se iban incrementando gradualmente con el correr de la temporada, desde 000.0 a 999.9. De acuerdo a este sistema, 1000 "unidades" de fecha estelar corresponderan a 1 ao. En Star Trek: Deep Space Nine y Star Trek: Voyager continuaron con el formato de TNG, por lo que las fechas estelares de DS9 van de 46379.1 a 52861.3, y las de Voyager de 48315.6 a 54973.4. En Star Trek: Nmesis, la historia de Star Trek que ms avanza en el siglo 24, se utiliza la fecha estelar 56844.9, sealando as que estos hechos ocurrieron 15 aos despus de la primera temporada de TNG. Funcin: La fecha estelar es un sistema de calendario usado en la Federacin, y permite a planetas y puestos que estn alejados aos luz entre s y a naves que viajan a enormes velocidades mantener una medicin del tiempo unificada. El sistema de fechas estelares fue introducido en la Federacin Unida de Planetas en algn momento entre 2161 y 2265. Las fechas estelares permiten estandarizar la medicin del tiempo entre diversas culturas. Su clculo implica una compleja ecuacin, que incluye la expansin universal y los efectos de la gravedad en tiempo y espacio. Cada cierto tiempo, este sistema de fechas debe ser actualizado para compensar todas aquellas variaciones producidas por la expansin del espacio y otros fenmenos naturales. Las naves han realizado estas modificaciones contactando las balizas temporales de la Flota Estelar y ajustando sus cronmetros internos (TNG: "Cause and Effect"). Se puede rastrear el uso de fechas estelares hasta los 2150's, aunque en ese momento la Tierra todava no haba adoptado el sistema. Entre las especies que utilizaron el sistema en esas pocas tempranas se encuentran los Xindi. En 2154 Degra, un Xindi Primate, envi un mensaje codificado al Enterprise conteniendo una fecha estelar y las coordenadas en las cuales Archer y su tripulacin deba encontrarse con la nave de Degra. Al parecer, tambin los vulcanos estaban familiarizados con el uso de fechas estelares para esa poca ya que T'Pol pudo calcular que dicha fecha estelar sera en tres das (ENT: "Damage"). En una lnea de tiempo alterna la Flota Estelar utilizaba la fecha de combate en lugar de la fecha estelar como sistema para contabilizar el tiempo durante la guerra con el Imperio Klingon. Esto es un claro indicador de las caractersticas militaristas de la Flota Estelar en esta lnea de tiempo (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise").
