Star Trek TOS/TAS Lists of Lists
compiled by Mark Holtz
(Revised November 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). Unfortunately, due to my class schedule,
this list comes out when I can find the time to update the lists.
If you are wondering why I compile these lists, it is strictly out of the
enjoyment of "Star Trek", and 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 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 they're still growing). The only payment I ask is thanks and
contributions. I am not making a dime off these compilations.
Did you know: In PDP-11 assembly language, there was a set of instructions
that were specifically implemented for making linked lists. A linked list is a
list that points to either another list or a piece of data. In the instruction
manuals I read, these were referred to as "lists of lists" (unless, of course,
the linked list pointed only to data). (Thanks to Paul Hoffman)

"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."
- Promo for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
"Space, the final frontier,
these are the voyages of the starship Enterprise,

to seek out new life and new civilizations,
to boldly go where no man has gone before."

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 week's 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, an 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.
Australia
-=======-
Both the original series and the animated series are shown on Channel 7, which
has perpetual rights to the series.
England/United Kingdon
-====================-
The BBC is currently showing the original series Wednesdays at 6 PM, but is
often pre-empted for sport coverage.
Germany
-=====-
The series is titled "Raumschiff Enterprise", which, translated, means
"Starship Enterprise". It started airing in 1972 (?) on the German Public
Network ZDF, and, after not being aired for several years, the series began
it's current run on July 1, 1993. Part of the name change is because it would
give the German viewer the idea of a western series in space, while the
litterial translation, "Zug zu den Sternen", would have suggested a
documentary. The episode, "Patterns Of Force" was not aired in Germany due to
its Nazi theme.
Incidentally, all references to the "Warp Drive" was changed to a "SOL drive"
in ZDF version. However, the rights is now owned by SAT. 1 (a private
network), and Warp drives are now referred to as Warp Drives.
Some of the titles were changed in translation. Here are the new episodes..in

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 significantly
more saturated than the broadcasts.

reasons by Roger Korby. She was later destroyed.
Dagger Of The Mind - Kirk had a previous one-night stand with Dr. Helen Noel,
and was reminded of it whem they visited the Tantalus colony with her as
Kirk's unexpected assistant. Kirk's feelings of attraction to her were

dispelled.
Miri - Kirk becomes infatuated with Miri, who remained on "Earth".
Conscience Of The King - Kirk forges, somewhat blantantly, a relationsip with
Lenore Karidian, the daughter of Anton Karidian (also known as Governor Kodos

Academy. However, she is seen as an artificial construct on the caretaker's
world.
City On The Edge Of Forever - Kirk get romantically involved and loves Edith
Keeler while in Earth's past to find McCoy. However, he was forced to let
Edith be killed by an automobile accident in order to get history right.
Mirror, Mirror - Kirk becomes romantically involved with Marlena Moreau on the
mirror Enterprise.
The Deadly Years - Although there was no real relationship offered between
Kirk and Dr. Janet Wallace, a past romance was very definately referred to.
Kirk was simply dedicated to his ship, and Dr. Wallace was dedicated to her
science.
A Private Little War - Nona was an artificial relationship brought about by
the drugs and charms of the mystic wie of Kirk's friend Tyree on the planet
Neural. When Nona is killed while betraying her tribe, Kirk does not shed a
tear.
The Gamesters of Triskelion - Kirk gets involved with Shahna, a fellow
"thrall", while in captivity on the planet Triskelion. And, as an example of
Kirk being his stereotypical worst, he succeeds in convincing Shahna that
personal freedom, idealism, and kissing is the way to love before leaving her
(voluntarily) behind on Triskelion.
By Any Other Name - Kirk seduces Kelinda in an attempt to expose the
"weaknesses" of the Kelvans now that they have assumed human fore. Kelinda

slave.
Return to Tomorrow - Sargon, while in Kirks body, wanted to take advantage of

married the ruler of Troyius, Kirk gets over the intoxication by remembering
that his first love is the Enterprise.
The Paradise Syndrone - Kirk, when he lost his memories, has a romance with

kiled.
Day of the Dove - Kirk works with Mara, who returned to the Klingon Empire
with her husband Kang.
Whom Gods Destroy - Marta was the only "green slave girl" Kirk has a
relationship with. She was sent by Garth of Izar to seek out Kirk. However,
Marta was stopped from killing Kirk, and was blown up by Garth afterwards.
Wink Of An Eye - This was a rather amusing, and probably a little rediculous,
romance between Kirk and Deela, a member of the accelerated Scalosian society.
Deela, however, stays behind on Scalos.
The Mark Of Gideon - Kirk is romancing Odona instead of interrogating her as
to why the entire Enterprise crew has disappeared. Odona's purpose was to
contact the potentially fatal disease Vegan Choriomengitis in order to reduce
some of her planet's overpopulation.
Requiem For Methuselah - While visiting Holberg 917-G and investigating Flint,
he has a romance with Rayna Kapec. Kirk soon discovers that Rayna was a
android built to be the "perfect woman" by, and when both Flint and Kirk fight
over Rayna, she short-circuits, being unable to deal with the intensity of her
emotions for both men. Kirk, later, is allowed to forget the pain associated
with the incident with Spock's mindmelding help.
Turnabout Intruder - Dr. Janice Lester was another old relationship of Kirk's
that was doomed to end because of Lester's domineering resentment of Kirk's
superior capabilities as a starship Captain. Dr. Lester uses a device on Camus
II to switch bodies with a unwilling Kirk. She later goes insane.
Star Trek II - Dr. Carol Marcus was an old, series romance of Kirks. He finds
out that he had a son, David. This was an older, less fiery ralationship on
Kirk's part, and his love for his ship and her love for her work would never
allow them to be happy together. She continued on her scientific career.
Star Trek IV - While on 20th century Earth, Kirk has a subdued, intellectual
romance with Dr. Gilian Taylor, a cetacean biologist. However, once back in
the 23rd century, they go their seperate ways.
Star Trek VI - Kirk falls in love with Martia, but only to escape from the
Klingon Mine/Prison. However, Kirk sees through Martia deception, and Martia
is later killed by the Klingons.
"I'm a Doctor, not a _________"...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bricklayer - "Devil In The Dark"
Engineer - "Mirror, Mirror"
Mechanic - "The Doomsday Machine"
Escalator - "Friday's Child"
Coal Miner - "The Empath" (Seconds later, McCoy also says "I'm not a
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!"

ears. As long as it worked, Jim."
"The Trouble With Tribbles" - Korax said, "Kirk may be a swaggering,

together."
"Return to Tomorrow" - Sargon refers to Adam and Eve as possibly being

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 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. The key is that
the title and reference are in quotations. The 2.1.39 means Act 2, Scene 1,
Line 39.
"Dagger of the Mind" - This line is referenced in "Macbeth 2.1.39", and can be
best sumarized in "Macbeth 2.1.34-50".
"The Conscience of the King" - This line is referenced in "Hamlet 2.2.606",
and can be best sumarized in "Hamlet 2.2.589-606". This episode is based
largely on _Hamlet_. The basic plot is similar, and there are many plot
devices that 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 eighteenth 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 shreds, 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" - First off, Kirk says that the "United Earth Space
Probe Agency" was the authority behind the Enterprise. Next, when Kirk and
Sulu hand their belts to the security guard, the antenna grids were hanging
open, yet the communicators didn't hail the Enterprise. A few seconds later,
when the guard asked about the communicators, the antenna grids were closed.
In addition, the Lieutenant Colonel who questioned Kirk was violating
regulations by wearing his Wheel Hat indoors. The Berets on the guards, on the
other hand, may have been ok. It seems to me that they are allowed indoors.
Then, when they were just getting ready to beam Christopher back to his jet,
he trotted down to the transporter console and hit the communicator switch. He
sure learns fast, huh?
The worst problem in this episode, of course, is toward the end. The entire
scenario of returning Christopher to his aircraft by beaming him into his own
body is not acceptable. It certainly is possible that Christopher was beamed
back into the aircraft at the same instant that the earlier version of the
Enterprse beamed him out. This could explain the visual effect. However next
he indicated that the UFO had disappeared and that he was returning to base.
The tractor SHOULD have remained on from the earlier Enterprise, and the
Christopher who was returned to the plane should have gone down with the
destryed aircraft--presumably bailing out and descending on parachute in such
a way that the Enterprise sensors did not notice. Also, Christopher should
have landed on the ground with the full memory of what had happened to him on
the Enterprise, but hopefully he was ethical enough to not do anything with
his kowledge that would change the future.
One last thing: In the closing credits, Captain Christopher is listed as a
Major.
On the other hand, this episode, first broadcast in the U.S. on January 26,
1967, correctly indicated that Apollo 11 would be launched on a Wednesday
(July 16, 1969, 9:32 A.M., EDT.) Also, the Starfleet uniform given to Captain
Christopher had Lieutenant's braid on the sleeve. Oddly enough, this was
correct. An Air Force Captain is equivalent to a Navy Lieutenant, and
Starfleet follows Navy rank.
"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,
at 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
his 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. (Let's just call the whole things off...)
"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 Tholian Web" - When Chekov goes mad and screams, his mouth doesn't move.
(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. [This could explain a lot about what happened during
the third season...]
"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 approximately 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.
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 noticeable for a second. (UV)
"Star Trek V" - When Uhura tosses Scotty the bag of food, the missing finger
is noticeable.
"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.
