Star Trek TOS/TAS Lists of Lists
compiled by Mark Holtz
(Revised April 7, 1993)
DISCLAIMER: "Star Trek", "Enterprise", and all other related items are
copyright and trademarks of Paramount Communications. Any infringement of
these lists on Paramount's legitimate copyright and trademarks is purely
unintentional, and will be corrected upon proper notification. These lists are
for the enjoyment of the reader only, and may not be sold.
This is the Star Trek TOS/TAS List of Lists. It contains a listing of all
the episodes for both the original and the animated Star Trek TV series, plus
some added notes. (Due to the length considerations, there is a separate
Movies, TNG, and DS9 List of Lists). This list comes out around the 1st of
each month. However, events beyond my control may prevent the posting.
If you are wondering why I compile these lists, it is strictly out of the
enjoyment of "Star Trek", and have enjoyed the wealth of information from
other Star Trek fans who post on the electronic networks. After being
irritated by the ever constant requests for episode lists on Usenet, I decided
that, in the middle of 1990, to post a list of episodes on a regular basis. It
soon grew from that, and, with the contributions of other people, these lists
grew to what you see today. (And still growing). The only payment I ask is
thanks and contributions. I am not making a dime off these compilations.

"For one quarter of a century, they have thrilled us with their adventures,
amazed us with their discoveries, and inspired us with their courage. Their
ship has journeyed beyond imagination. Her name has become legend, her crew,
the finest ever assembled. We have traveled beside them from one corner of the
galaxy to the other. They have been our guides, our protectors, and our
friends. Now you are invited to join them for one last adventure. For at the
end of history lies the undiscovered country."

Episode synopsis by Edward Champion.
First Season
-==========-
The pilot episode, "The Cage", was made as the first Star Trek pilot, which
was seen originally by NBC executives. They rejected that pilot, but asked for
a second pilot to be made ("Where No Man Has Gone Before"). Later on, in the
first season, production delays required that, in one weeks time, two episodes
had to be made. Thus, "The Cage" was edited and made a part of "The
Menagerie". After this point, no complete copies of "The Cage" were believed
to exist.
In 1986, a black and white work print was found of "The Cage" in Paramount
vaults. It was released by Paramount home video, which combined all related
color footage from "The Menagerie" and filled in all of the gaps with the
black and white print. (As a bonus, the tape included an introduction by Gene
Roddenberry). Then, a NBC executive discovered that he had a full color copy
of "The Cage" in his closet. In 1988, as a filler episode for TNG due to a
writer's strike, Paramount aired "The Cage" as part of a two-hour program
"From One Generation To The Next", which aired between October 3 and October
9. (Segments also included a sneak peek at Star Trek V, the introduction of
Diana Muldaur as Dr. Pulaski, and scenes from the upcoming second season). The
full-color "Cage" was released on home video to replace the hybrid B&W/Color
copy.
The first season aired on NBC on Thursday nights at 8:30 PM, under Desilu
Studios.

Syndication Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
United States
-===========-
Star Trek (TOS) is distributed to local stations by Paramount. It has been
edited down in order to fit in more commercials, and is aired according to
production code order, not according to original air dates.
Germany
-=====-
The series is titled "Raumschiff Enterprise", which, translated, means
"Starship Enterprise". The episode, "Patterns Of Force" was not aired in
Germany
. . . That "Patterns of Force" has never been aired in Germany due to its Nazi
theme?
Iran
-==-
The series is titled "Pesh taxan e' faza", which, translated, means "Space,
The Final Frontier"
Isreal
-====-
The series is titled "Masa beyn haKokhavim", which, translated, means "Trek
among the Stars". It is broadcast in English with Hebrew and Arabic Subtitles.
Japan
-===-
The series is titled either "UCHUU Patrol", which, translated, means "Space
Patrol", or as "UCHUU DAISAKUSEN", which, translated, means "Mission In
Space".
Some of the titles were changed in translation. Here are the original titles,
and the alternate titles translated back to English:
"Where No Man Has Gone Before" - "The Glittering Eyes"
"The Naked Time" - "The Evil Space Disease"
"The Menagerie" - "Phantomatic Mystery Beings on Talos"
"The Devil in the Dark" - "Horuta: The Underground Monster"
"Errand Of Mercy" - "The Invasion of the Klingon Empire"
"The City On The Edge Of Forever" - "The Dangerous Trip to the Past"
"The Doomsday Machine" - "The Gigantic Monster in Space"
"Journey To Babel" - "The Invasion of the Planet Orion"
"Wolf In The Fold" - "The Bloodthirsty Felon of Planet Arugirisu"
"The Trouble With Tribbles" - "The New Species"
"The Tholian Web" - "The Crisis of Captain Kirk Entering the Other Dimensional
Space"
Mexico
-====-
The series is titled "Viaje a las Estrellas".
Quebec
-====-
The series is titled "Le Patrouille du Cosmos", which, translated, means
"Cosmos Patrol". The original series has not aired in Quebec since 1985.
Video Tape
-========-
The entire series is also available uncut from Paramount Home Video, and
includes the original promos for the following episode. The ordering of the
tapes is according to air dates, with "The Cage" considered to be episode one.
Due to copyright problems with the music in "The City On The Edge Of Forever",
substitute music was placed in this video.
Laser Disc
-========-
All 79 episodes+pilot are available from Paramount. They are packaged 2 to a
disc, not in numerical order. If you want specific titles, catalog numbers,
etc. "The Laser Video File" offers a complete listing, or they are available
in electronic form from the Barr LD data base. The complete set of the
animated series episodes is also available in a boxed LD set. Only the recent
all-color release of The Cage has digital sound. Some of my discs were made by
PVI in the US; some by PVC in Japan. The PVC ones are mostly in the second and
third seasons, and tend to have fewer defects. Many don't even have CX,
although some (mostly the later/PVC ones) do. The original TV trailers are
enclosed. At least one of the trailers contains slightly different composition
from the actual episode. On the positive side, the colors are more
significantly more saturated than the broadcasts I've compared.
Changes from Season to Season
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Changes from Pilot to 1st Season
-==============================-
The opening credits were changed to include a swoosh when the Enterprise flew
by and the famous "Space...The Final Frontier" intro was added.

Mechanic - "The Doomsday Machine"
Escalator - "Friday's Child"
Coal Miner - "The Empath" (Seconds later, McCoy also says "I'm not an
mechanic."
. . . . And Variations Thereof
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What am I, a doctor or a Moon shuttle conductor?" - "The Corbomite Maneuver"
"I'm a scientist, not a military man." - Mr. Jaeger, "The Squire of Gothos"
"I don't know. I'm a doctor. If I were an officer of the line, I'd--" - McCoy,
"A Taste of Armageddon"
"What do you mean? I'm a Doctor" - McCoy, "This Side of Paradise"
"I'm a surgeon, not a psychiatrist." - "The City On The Edge Of Forever"
"Well, are you a doctor or aren't you?" - Kirk, "Amok Time"
"I'm a soldier, not a diplomat." - Kirk, "Errand Of Mercy"
"I'm not a magician, I'm just an old country doctor." - "The Deadly Years"
These lines may have originated with Heinlein's 1952 novel "The Rolling
Stones." In that book, Dr. Edith Stone says, "How can I be sure? I'm a doctor,
not a fortune-teller."
Also, there was a 1933 film called "The Kennel Club Murder Case" starring
William Powell as Philo Vance, who was a popular book/movie detective back
then. In this film, there was a Doctor Finnegan, who made the comments "I'm a
doctor, not a magician!", and "I'm a doctor, not a detective!"

this episode, Kirk says to Sulu, "You've earned your pay for the week."
"The Doomsday Machine" - "Scotty, you've earned your pay for the week." - Kirk
"Catspaw" - "I'll bet credits to navy beans we can punch a hole in it." - Lt.
DeFalco.
"The Trouble with Tribbles" - There was some credit-bartering going on between
Cyrano Jones and the bartender over the sale of several tribbles.
Religion In The Future
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The Cage"/"The Menagerie" - The keepers in the cage subject Pike to the
hallucination that he is burning in Hell, complete with a lake of fire and
brimstone. The Keeper refers to this as "a fable you once heard in childhood"
Also, Vina compares herself and Pike to Adam and Eve.
"The Man Trap" - McCoy, just before he shoots Nancy Crater, says "Lord,
forgive me."
"Where No Man Has Gone Before" - Gary Mitchell gets god-like powers, and
creates a "Garden of Eden" on a desolate planet.
"The Corbomite Maneuver" - Balok states, "We make assumption you have a deity,
or deities, or some such beliefs which comfort you."
"Court Martial" - Cogley makes a reference to Moses (The Ten Commandments) as
the basis of Federation law. Also, during Kirk's trial, he refers to the Bible
as part of a long list of documents as part of the list referring to rights.
"Return of the Archons" - In reference to soulless creatures, Kirk comments to
Spock, about Landru: "He may have been able to give (his computer) his
knowledge, but he could not given it his knowledge, his wisdom, his soul, Mr.
Spock."
"Errand of Mercy" - Spocks says, "Even the gods did not spring into being
overnight."
"The City On The Edge of Forever" - While the closing credits list a "Sister
Edith Keeler", and while she does work at the "21st Street Mission", Edith
Keeler probably isn't a nun. Many who work in such missions are referred to as
"brothers" and "sisters". (For a cinematic example, see "Guys and Dolls")
"Who Mourns For Adonais" - Apollo journeyed to Earth 5000 years ago from
Pollux 4, and was worshipped along with the other gods by the populace. Chekov
says, "Sorry, I've never met a god before." McCoy says, "Scotty doesn't
believe in gods." Kirk also states, "Man has no need for gods. We find the One
quite sufficient."
"The Apple" - Spock, Kirk, and McCoy make references to the biblical story of
Genesis.
"The Doomsday Machine" - Matt Decker says, "They say there's no devil, Jim.
But there is. Straight out of Hell, I saw it...."
"Catspaw" - Spock says to Kirk, "There are Earth legends of wizards and their
familiars: demons in animal form, sent by Satan to serve the wizard."
"I, Mudd" - Harry Mudd makes reference to not surviving by bread alone, a
direct reference, in part, to Jesus: "Man does not survive by bread alone, but
by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
"Journey to Babel" - The name of the planetoid Babel is lifted directly from
the story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11.
"Obsession" - Scotty says, "Thank heavens", to which Spock promptly replies,
"Mr. Scott, there was no deity involved, it was my cross-circuiting to B that
recovered them." McCoy then says, "Well, then, thank pitchforks and pointed
ears. As long as it worked, Jim."
"The Trouble With Tribbles" - Korax said, "Kirk may be a swaggering,
overbearing, tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood, but he's not
soft." Also, Spock paraphrases Matthew: "They remind me of the lilies of the
field. They toil not, neither do they spin."
"A Private Little War" - After Nona heals Kirk, she says "Our souls have been
together."
"Return to Tomorrow" - Sargon refers to Adam and Eve as possibly being
travelers from their planet.
"Patterns of Force" - Kirk, in reference to a helmet which Spock is wearing,
says "That helmet covers a multitude of sins", a play on words of the apostle
Peter: "Charity covereth the multitude of sins."
"The Omega Glory" - Capt. Tracey uses Spock's devilish appearance against him
by likening him to "the servant of the Evil One" in Yang's "Holy Book".
"The Ultimate Computer" - M5 says "Murder is contrary to the laws of God and
man." Kirk adds, "Daystrom felt that such an act was an offense against the
laws of God and man, and the computer that carried his engrams also believed
it."
"Bread and Circuses" - McCoy says, "If you speak of worship, we serve many
beliefs." Also, Uhura figures out that they aren't worshipping the sun, but
the "Son of God". Also, Kirk specifically mentions, "Caesar and Christ, they
had them both."
"The Enterprise Incident" - Scott says to Kirk, "You look like the Devil
himself."
"The Paradise Syndrome" - Kirk is thought to be a god by the Indian tribe when
he emerges from the "temple".
"Is There In Truth No Beauty"- McCoy tells Spock, "You look like you paid a
visit to the Devil himself."
"Day of the Dove" - After Kirk says, "Go to the devil.", Kang replies, "We
have no devil, Kirk, but we understand the habits of yours."
"The Empath" - Scotty quotes the parable of the Pearl of Great Price from
Matthew. Later, Ozaba quotes Psalm 95:4: "In his hand are the deep places of
the Earth."
"Requiem for Methuselah" - Flint claimed that he was Methuselah, and that he
knew Moses.
"The Way To Eden" - Space hippies search for the mythical planet of Eden.
Also, there are references to "purgatory", one by Spock in "This Side of
Paradise", and one by Harry Mudd in "I, Mudd".

Did you know . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
. . . Nichelle Nichols was planning to leave Star Trek at the end of the first
season, but was persuaded to stay by Martin Luther King, Jr.?
. . . The Enterprise model is 11 feet in length, and weighs 200 pounds. The
model is composed of plastic, wood, and rolled steel. The cost of materials,
in 1964 dollars, was $600. The original designer of the ship is Walter "Matt"
Jeffries, who based the ship's registry number, NCC-1701, on his 1935 Waco
airplane (and whom the term "Jeffries Tubes" was invented for). After the
series, the model was donated to the Smithsonian in 1974, and was restored due
to the appearance of cracking paint, stress cracks, and failures in the
lighting system. A "streaking effect" has been added to make a "weathered"
look, but the paint has changed the model color from gray to green. The
restoration process took six weeks.
. . . That "Assignment: Earth" was originally a pilot for another series that
Gene Roddenberry proposed but never got off the ground?
. . . That Majel Barrett's real name is Majel Leigh Hudec. The name change was
to fool NBC in order to hire her as Christine Chapel.
. . . That "Plato's Stepchildren" was the first episode in television history
to feature an interracial kiss?
. . . In "Assignment: Earth", Spock, upon reviewing 1968 Earth history, says
that "There will be an important assassination today." A few days after this
episode originally aired, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed.
. . . How the transporter effect was filmed:
* Sprinkle glitter against a black background and shine a light through it.
Film it.
* Film the scene, first with the actor, then without (or vice versa)
* Matte the glitter over the actor, and double-expose the film
In-Jokes
~~~~~~~~
"The Man Trap" - Sulu says a line written by Gene Roddenberry, "May the Great
Bird of the Galaxy roost on our planet". After this reference was filmed, Gene
Roddenberry got the nickname of the Great Bird.
"The Trouble With Tribbles" - The writer, David Gerrold, came up with the idea
independent of Heinlein. When Desilu or NBC discovered the crossover, Gene and
David called up Heinlein, who simply laughed it off, then said to go ahead and
use it.
"The Ultimate Computer" - The term "human engrams" may possibly come from a L.
Ron Hubbard novel.
Shakespeare
~~~~~~~~~~~
There have been many references to Shakespeare on the original series, either
though episode titles or through quotations by the characters. [BTW: I don't
know what the 2.1.39 means. :( ]
"Dagger of the Mind" - This line is referenced in "Macbeth 2.1.39", and can be
best sumaraized in "Macbeth 2.1.34-50".
"The Conscience of the King" - This line is referenced in "Hamlet 2.2.606",
and can be best sumaraized in "Hamlet 2.2.589-606". This episode is based
largely on _Hamlet_. The basic plot is similar, and there are many plot
devices which are duplicated in the episode from the play, such as the troupe
of actors. Additionally, many of Shakespeare's characters find analogs in Star
Trek. Here is a list of crossovers: Hamlet -> Kirk, Claudius -> Karidian
(Kodos), Ophelia -> Lenore, and Ghost of Hamlet's Father -> Tom Leighton
This episode also contains several themes lifted from Macbeth, as one would
expect since the episode opens with a scene from an "Arcturian Macbeth." The
analogs seem to be: Macbeth -> Karidian, Lady Macbeth -> Lenore, and Macduff
-> Kirk
Toward the end of the episode, the Karidian Company of Actors performs
Hamlet. Karidian, playing Hamlet's father, speaks the lines from "Hamlet
1.5.10-24", but, unforunately, omits several lines.
Later, Lenore quotes the Soothsayer in "Julius Caesar 1.2.18&23":
"Caesar, beware the Ides of March.", and then paraphrases Fortinbras from
"Hamlet 5.2.36-63"
"All Our Yesterdays" - This title comes from "Macbeth 5.5.22", with
surrounding text from "Macbeth 5.5.17-28".
"By Any Other Name" - Kirk says as he holds out a rose-like flower and says,
"As the Earth poet Shakespeare wrote, `That which we call a rose by any other
name would smell as sweet.'" This line comes from "Romeo and Juliet 2.2.43-44"
"Whom Gods Destroy" - Martha quotes Shakespeare's eighteens sonnet, which
Garth replies, "You wrote that?". This was probably an allusion to the
Elizabethan practice of rewriting pre-existing poems and stories, using huge
amounts of the same text. (It was considered bad writing not to.)
"Elaan of Troyius" - The plot for this episode was taken from _The Taming of
the Shrew_. As with "The Conscience of the King," some of Shakespeare's
characters find analogs within the episode: Petruchio -> Kirk, and Katherine
-> Elaan
Operation SNAFU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Charlie X" - Kirk enters a turbolift with the boy Charlie, en route to the
bridge, wearing his usual uniform shirt with the badge on the left breast.
When they emerge from the lift, Kirk is wearing his yellow-green wrap-around
shirt with the badge down near the waist. Yet for the rest of the show (after
the bridge scene and some shirtless scenes in the Enterprise gymnasium) he
retains his usual shirt. (UV) Also, after Kirk talks with the chef, he is seen
in a closeup, but the image is reversed (look at the hair part). (UV)
Then, Charlie is on McCoy's examination table, actively peddling. We switch
to a camera view of the indicator panel, where a reflection of Charlie is
shown, with Charlie motionless. The camera then cuts back to Charlie, who is
fully active. Then, back to the panel, where shows Charlie's reflection
motionless, and then back to Charlie. (UV)
"The Naked Time" - After Nurse Chapel infects spock with "the disease", Spock
goes into the conference room to get control of his emotions. The doorplate on
this room is on the LEFT side of the door. After Kirk enters, a bit of
dramatics, Spock leaves, then Kirk leaves, we see that the doorplate has moved
to the RIGHT side of the door. (UV)
"The Enemy Within" - At the beginning of the episode, both the good and evil
Kirk beam up without insignias on their uniforms. (UV) Strange clothing
changes. (UV)
"What Are Little Girls Made Of" - Strange clothing changes. (UV)
"The Menagerie" - The ONLY door handle seen in a Federation setting (ship or
starbase, etc.) was on the door to Christopher Pike's quarters, which was kind
of ironic, since he's about the only person who COULDN'T use a door handle!
(V)
Also, during the trial, every senior officer, including McCoy, is wearing
dress uniforms, except for Scott, who is wearing his regular uniform. (UV)
"Shore Leave" - As you watch the Kirk/Finnegan fight, ask yourself when Kirk's
tunic gets ripped. You'll notice that just before we fade to a commercial, the
camera is on Kirk, who is down and out, and his tunic is perfectly whole.
Camera cuts to Finnegan, who is standing over Kirk, gloating. The camera cuts
back to Kirk, whose tunic is ripped to shreads, and we fade to a commercial.
(UV) Maybe Kirk is Jewish, and "rents" his garment in anguish....
Also, when Spock is beaming down, Sulu says, "Look, someone is beaming down
from the bridge." How could they determine that someone was beaming down from
the bridge, never mind that it wasn't possible in TOS times.
"The Galileo Seven" - After Boma leaves to prepare for one of the burials, the
camera stays on the shuttlecraft door as it closes. A propman's hand is very
visible on the lower part of the door, guiding it into place. (UV)
"The Squire Of Gothos" - Trelane sees Earth's history about 900 years late,
and talks about Alexander's Hamilton's death (July 12, 1804), and how he had
admired Napoleon (who reigned from November 9, 1799-April 11, 1814; March
20-June 18, 1815). This places the episode at around the 2700's, about a few
hundred years after when TNG is stated to occur. (UV)
"Arena" - When Kirk and Spock are taking cover, at the beginning, behind a
destroyed section of wall, every time Kirk leans against the wall, it moves as
if it's a styrofoam prop. (UV)
"Tomorrow is Yesterday" - In the closing credits, Captain Christopher is
listed as a Major.
"Court Martial" - Kirk says "Gentlemen, this computer has an auditory sensor.
It can, in effect, hear sounds. By installing a booster we can increase that
capability on the order of one to the fourth power." Hmmmm, either the writers
or William Shatner seemed to think that it sound more impressive than just
plain old "one". And, I guess we have to assume that both the voices and the
other ship noises were masked out just like those heartbeats. (UV)
"Space Seed" - As Kirk is bashing in Khan's glass coffin, his phaser falls off
his belt. McCoy keeps looking down at it, like he's wondering when they're
going to yell 'cut' so they can re-shoot the scene. They never did re-shoot
because they didn't want to invest in more glass. (V)
"The City On The Edge Of Forever" - Clark Gable's first film was made in 1930,
by which time he was hardly a major star, and it would hardly have seemed
strange that Kirk and McCoy might not have heard of him. "Good Night,
Sweetheart" wasn't written until 1931.
"Amok Time" - At the marriage ceremony as Spock is going up to hit the gong we
get two shots of this happening. In the first shot, from the view of T'Pau,
Spock starts moving toward the gong and then on the right we see T'Pring start
moving to issue the Kah-if-farr. Then, there is a cut looking at the face of
T'Pring, who in this scene is standing still. After a second, T'Pring starts
to move forward to issue the challenge. Nothing too bad but I have to look at
something. Yeah, that scene has several well-known continuity errors. The most
graphic one is a long shot of the set during Kirk's talk with T'Pau, where we
see Nimoy leaning against a wall when, continuity-wise, Spock is supposedly
kneeling, deep in "plak tow." It's also easy to see stage lights in a couple
of scenes. (UV)
Plus, when Spock goes to bang that gong, it rings before it's hit. (UV)
Also, T'Pau speaks to everyone else in Elizabethan/Shakespearean/King James
English -- to a point of using "thee" and "thy". However, she never uses
"thou", but, incorrectly uses thee. Spock even uses this incorrectly in one
instance.
"Mirror, Mirror" - In the beginning of the episode, Kirks calls up the
Enterprise, requests beam up, and puts the communicator back on his belt.
During the partial materialization on the transporter room, the communicator
is in Kirk's hand with the antenna grid fully open. Then, when the landing
party materializes fully in the mirror universe, the communicator is back on
Kirk's belt. (UV)
"The Doomsday Machine" - There is at least one side shot of the device where
the stars can be seen through the far side of the maw. (UV) Also, Scotty loses
is brogue for one line. (UV) Also, while the Constellation is being flown into
the doomsday machine, the model looks as if it was bumped. (UV)
"Obsession" - When Captain Kirk fights an ensign for the right to remain on
the planet, Kirk tosses the ensign against a very solid rock. However, when
that ensign is tossed against that same rock for a second time, that rock is
not so solid and rolls slightly in the manner of a piece of plastic painted to
look like a rock. (UV)
"A Private Little War" - In the closing credits, the Mugato is listed in the
closing credits as Gumato.
"Patterns of Force" - After Kirk and Spock enter the Zeon hideaway, Spock
repairs a communicator which was disassembled by the Ekosians. As he tries to
test it, he gives the wrist flip, but the antenna grid doesn't open. Spock
glances down and opens it by hand. (UV)
"The Omega Glory" - Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are seated and bound, speculating
that the Yangs are Yankees and Cohms are Communists. When the camera is on the
three of them, Kirk's hair is parted one way, yet, when there is a close-up
shot of Kirk, his hair is parted another way. (UV)
"Is There In Truth No Beauty?" - At the beginning of the episode, it is
established that humans, even with the red visor would go mad if they saw the
ambassador being transported aboard. However, at the end of the episode, Kirk
watches the ambassador being beamed out without the visor. Kirk should have
gone mad at this point.
"The Lights Of Zetar" - Kirk has Romaine put into the pressure chamber in sick
bay, and has the pressure increased by one atmosphere per second. At that
rate, she would have been crushed like a bug in a minute. (UV)
"The Way to Eden" - Although not an actual snafu, Adam's hand twitches after
he was "dead". However, many muscular spasms do occur after death. (UV) Also,
there is a short bit where the film is backwards, and Kirk's insignia appears
on the wrong side of the shirt. (UV)
"The Cloud Miners" - When Kirk and Spock are first captured by the miners,
Kirk says something like, "What's the meaning of this?", but his mouth doesn't
move. (UV)
*"Day Of The Dove" - There is a prop that is grey, and looks like a grey
hydrant coming out of the wall aprx. 18 inches from the floor. During the big
sword fight, we see them fighting by this "hydrant", cut to another scene,
then cut back to see this "hydrant" knocked over.
- Hmmmm.... In "Balance of Terror", Spock says that something called "cast
rodinium" is the hardest substance known to Federation science, and yet, was
pulverized by the Romulan weapon. Yet, in "The Doomsday Machine", Spock says
that there is no known way of blasting through solid neutronium. In "Arena",
diamonds are "the hardest known substance", but in "Obsession", a rock
substance is "twenty times as hard as diamonds. (V)
Where's Scotty's Finger?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James Doohan is missing the middle finger of his right hand. During World
War II, he served in the Royal Canadian Artillery (not the air force, although
he flew - like a maniac - often) for six years and two months and lead the
fifth Landing Craft Assault. He was on the ground when his middle finger
caught three bullets; the head wound and other wounds did no damage. He then
became a flight instructor before leaving the military in October of 1945.
However, if you look at his hand, you'll see a faint red streak, indicating
the entire metacarpal bone was surgically removed. Usually, if Scotty's hands
were called for in a script to operate the transporter, we cut to a shot of
someone else's hands. Usually, we'll see Scotty's hands behind some object or
side on. However, here are some scenes where the missing finger is visible:
"The Apple" - Scotty's clenched fist. (UV)
"The Trouble With Tribbles" - After Kirk notices what he got for his chicken
sandwich and coffee, Scotty walks in carrying a whole bundle of tribbles. The
missing finger is clearly noticeable. (V)
"Star Trek IV" - When McCoy hands Scotty the mouse in Dr. Nichols' office,
Scotty lack of digitude is noticable for a second. (UV)
"Star Trek V" - When Uhura tosses Scotty the bag of food, the missing finger
is noticable.
"Theme from STAR TREK"
Lyrics by Gene Roddenberry
From "The Making of Star Trek" by Stephen E. Whitfield & Gene Roddenberry
Beyond
The rim of star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches
I know
His journey end never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.

Eugene Wesley "Gene" Roddenberry
August 19, 1921 - October 24, 1991
He created a legend which continues on today, creating a show that has helped
believe that there was a future worth living for. He showed us that space is
not just for space battles, but for learning new ideas and ways of thinking,
and, indirectly, has done more for civil rights and the space program than
Martin Luther King, Jr. and John F. Kennedy. Gene will be missed, but will not
be forgotten.
