The Cage
"After the events on Rigel VII—three crew members dead, seven injured—I was ready to resign my commission. The burden of command weighed heavily on me. I was tired of deciding who lived and who died. Then the Talosians intervened, imprisoning me with a girl named Vina as part of a plot to repopulate the surface of Talos IV. My refusal to cooperate, despite the powerful illusions they placed in my mind, convinced the Talosians to let me and my crew go. Vina chose to stay behind, and l agreed with her decision." — Captain Pike |

Where No Man Has Gone Before
"Gary Mitchell was my friend. He didn't ask for what happened to him when the Enterprise probed beyond our Galaxy. Contact with an energy field gave Gary incredible mental powers and made him a threat to my ship and crew. I resisted Spock's advice to maroon Gary on Delta Vega, but deep down, I knew Spock was right. Ultimately, marooning Gary was not enough. I had to fight him on Delta Vega, and with Doctor Dehner's help I managed to defeat him. Afterward, I made sure that Gary's service record ended with dignity." — Captain Kirk |

The Corbomite Maneuver
"Spock likened our encounter with the Fesarius to chess, and it did seem for a while that the alien commander, Balok, had us checkmated. With tensions running high, I argued with Bones about Lieuienant Bailey, my young and inexperienced navigator. Suddenly I realized the game at hand wasn't chess, but poker. I threatened the alien with a tale about "corbomite," and my bluff worked. When we finally met Balok face to face, I was as surprised by his child-like appearance as I was by his good intentions. We made a new friend that day." — Captain Kirk |

Mudd's Women
"Harcourt Fenton Mudd was a thief and a liar. He jeopardized my ship by arranging to marry off his "cargo" of three young women to a trio of miners on Rigel Xl. The women possessed a mysterious, almost hypnotic beauty, courtesy of Mudd's "Venus drug"—or so it seemed. When I switched Eve's pill with a placebo, her own belief in herself restored her beauty. Eve chose to remain with Ben Childress, who finally provided us with the lithium crystals we needed. As for Harry Mudd, I was glad to turn him over to the legal authorities." — Captain Kirk |

The Enemy Within
I've seen a part of myself that no man should ever see. Being split by the transporter into two halves, one good and one evil, was one of the most difficult experiences of my life. I could feel the power of command slipping away from me. Spock and McCoy helped me see that my negative side makes me strong. The duplicate was like a brutal animal, but he was me, and I had to take him back. When we reversed the process, I found myself whole again—just in time to save the lives of my men on the planet." — Captain Kirk |

|
The Man Trap
"On planet M113, Doctor McCoy, crewman Darnell and I were totally unaware that each of us was seeing a different "Nancy Crater," and that she would kill for the salt in our bodies. The truth was hardest on Bones, who perceived Nancy as that one special woman in his past. She was in fact an alien creature, the last of her kind—and Professor Robert Crater was protecting her. She killed four of my crewmen and the professor before we cornered her aboard the Enterprise. When the creature attacked me, McCoy killed her with his phaser." — Captain Kirk |

|
The Naked Time
"A totally new and unusual disease was brought aboard the Enterprise while we orbited Psi 2000. Crewmen began to act irrationally and abandon their posts while the Enterprise spiraled toward destruction in the planet's atmosphere. When I became infected, I found myself struggling with deep emotions about my relationship with the Enterprise and the sacrifices of command. McCoy's cure and Spock's engine intermix formula saved us in the nick of time. We did not, as I'd feared, go up in the biggest ball of fire since the last sun in these parts exploded." — Captain Kirk |
8 |
|
Charlie X
"McCoy wanted me to be a guide and father image to Charlie Evans. I didn't want the job, but I got it—and the stakes were high. Charlie was a boy in a man's body, struggling with adolescence. Using powers given to him by the Thasians, Charlie took control of the Enterprise and made members of my crew "go away." Finally I reached a breaking point. I demanded my ship and crew back and tried to fight Charlie. The Thasians intervened and took Charlie away, despite my plea that he belonged with his own kind." — Captain Kirk |

|
Balance of Terror
"I was officiating at a wedding aboard ship when Romulans attacked Earth Outpost 4. Lieutenant Styles' bigotry toward the Romulans—and toward Spock, who resembled them physically—disturbed me, but I agreed with Styles' argument that we had to prevent the enemy vessel from returning home. The Romulan commander proved to be a highly skilled tactician. When we dealt his ship a crippling blow, he refused my offer to rescue his survivors. I was saddened by his senseless death, and by the loss of Lieutenant Tomlinson, the Enterprise's only casualty in the battle." — Captain Kirk |

What Are Little Girls Made Of?
"Roger Korby's accomplishments concerning immunization techniques were required reading at the Academy. I've always wanted to meet him, but the man Nurse Chapel and I met in the caverns of Exo Ill was only an android with the late Korbv's memories and personality. He wanted to "improve" humanity by transferring human consciousness into androids devoid of jealousy, greed, and hate. Yet it was not difficult for me to get Korby and his androids to turn on each other, killing with no more concern than turning off a light. The Korby android destroyed himself, ending his experiment." — Captain Kirk |
11 |
|
Dagger of the Mind
"Thanks to Doctor Adams, penal colonies are more like resort colonies now. I found it hard to accept that Adams could have harmed his associate, Simon Van Gelder, in anv way—but McCoy was suspicious, so I beamed down to Tantalus V with Doctor Helen Noel to investigate. Adams didn't like me poking around. He used his neural neutralizer on me, just as he'd used it on Van Gelder. Ultimately, Adams was killed by the device. It emptied his mind and he died, essentially, of loneliness—not a hard thing to believe if you've sat in that room, as I have." — Captain Kirk |
12 |
|
Miri
"The fact that Miri's planet was almost exactly like Earth was astonishing in itself. We made another startling discovery on the planet's surface: a group of 300-year-old children, living without adults. For these kids, puberty meant death. The plague infecting them would have killed me, Bones and Yeoman Rand in a matter of days, if not for Miri. She helped me convince the other kids that we had to help each other, or none of us would survive. Miri may have loved me, as Rand said, but I never get involved with older women." — Captain Kirk |

The Conscience of the King
"After the murder of my friend Tom Leighton, I was one of only two remaining eye-witnesses to the murder of 4.000 people by Governor Kodos on Tarsus IV twenty years ago. Tom was certain that the actor Anton Karidian was Kodos. I placed my command in jeopardy to investigate Karidian, because I was desperate for justice and probably vengeance, too. In the end Karidian confessed, but the real surprise was that his daughter, Lenore, was responsible for killing off the witnesses. The truth will not bring back the dead, but it may help them rest easier." — Captain Kirk |
14 |
|
The Galileo Seven
"The loss of the Galileo shuttlecraft seemed of little concern to Galactic High Commissioner Ferris. He was focused on our delivery of medicines to Makus Ill, but I was determined to find my lost crewmen. We zeroed in on Taurus Il, the only type-M planet in the area, but before we could complete the search, Ferris used his power granted by Title 15 to order me to set course for Makus III. Fortunately, Spock caught our attention by igniting the Galileo's fuel (a purely emotional act, though Spock wouldn't admit it), and we were able to rescue the shuttle crew." — Captain Kirk |
15 |
|
Court Martial
"During an ion storm, I ordered a red alert and waited until the last possible second before ejecting the ion pod containing Ben Finney. Somehow, the ship's computer records indicated that I jettisoned the pod before calling red alert. Determined to prove my innocence, I demanded a court martial. My attorney, Sam Cogley, did a fine job defending me, but it was Spock who proved that the computer had been tampered with. Finney himself was responsible. He faked his death and altered the record tapes in an effort to settle an old score against me." — Captain Kirk |
16 |
|
The Menagerie, part 1
"It was unthinkable that Spock would fake a message diverting us to Starbase 11. His duplicity could no longer be denied when he abducted his wheelchair-bound former captain, Christopher Pike, and locked the Enterprise on course for Talos IV. Why would Spock invite the death penalty? During his court martial, Spock presented unusual visual evidence of the Enterprise's visit to Talos IV several years earlier. When we learned that the transmissions were coming from the forbidden planet, Starfleet relieved me of command. Spock had sealed both our fates, and I still didn't know why." — Captain Kirk |
17 |
|
The Menagerie, part 2
"A recent accident had left former Enterprise captain Christopher Pike unable to speak or move. At Spock's court-martial we watched images from 13 years ago in which a healthy Pike visited Talos IV. Spock's intentions finally became clear: he wanted to give Pike the opportunity to live with the Talosians, whose powerful mental abilities would provide him a life unfettered by his physical body. I was angry with Spock for his secrecy, but he was trying to protect me. Starfleet let us both off the hook, and the Talosians welcomed Pike back, to live out his days with Vina." — Captain Kirk |
18 |
|
Shore Leave
"The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play. I took shore leave on a planet created by advanced beings exclusively for purposes of amusement. I reconnected with Ruth, a woman I'd loved 15 years ago, and I beat the tar out of my Starfleet Academy tormentor Finnegan, something I'd always wanted to do. McCoy's death at the hands of a black knight was no laughing matter, but the planet's caretaker returned him to us unharmed. Once we learned to control our thoughts, we had the best shore leave we'd ever had." — Captain Kirk |
19 |
|
The Squire of Gothos
"Trelane was capable of abducting my crew and blocking the Enterprise's path with his planet, but he was essentially a small boy, and a very naughty one at that. I tired of his games and tried to get my ship and crew away from him. Using a dueling pistol, I destroyed the machine behind his mirror. Trelane was furious. He hunted me on Gothos, expecting to win that game, too, but he had a lot to learn. Before Trelane could make my entire crew his play things, his parents arrived to apologize and take him away." — Captain Kirk |
20 |
|
Arena
"The alien attack on Cestus IlI represented a clear and immediate threat: invasion. We had to overtake the enemy vessel and destroy it before it could return home. The Metrons interfered by placing me and the Gorn captain on a deserted planet to settle our differences. Using elements I found around me, I made a cannon and gravely wounded the Gorn. I didn't kill him, though. He probably thought he was protecting himself when he attacked the outpost. We could talk, maybe reach an agreement. The Metrons, impressed by my choice, decided there was hope for humanity." — Captain Kirk |

The Alternative Factor
Imagine being trapped with a raging madman at your throat for eternity, until time itself came to a stop. How would it be? Lazarus knows. We found him on an uncharted planet. Now Lazarus and his anti- matter double are stuck inside a magnetic corridor between parallel universes. I helped put them there, because it was the only way to guarantee the safety of both universes. Otherwise, the insane Lazarus might have caught up to his anti matter self, and that would have meant annihilation of everything that exists, everywhere. So for us, the universe is safe…but what of Lazarus?" — Captain Kirk |

Tomorrow Is Yesterday
"A time warp sent the Enterprise back to 1960s Earth, where we were pursued by an [sic] a United States Air Force plane. We had to beam its pilot, Captain Christopher, aboard the Enterprise. We soon discovered that Christopher had to go back to preserve the timeline. When Sulu and I transported down to recover the captain's photos, I was caught and held briefly by Air Force personnel. They threatened to lock me up for 200 years, which would've been just about right. Ultimately we recreated the slingshot effect and returned Christopher to Earth, while we returned to our own time." — Captain Kirk |
23 |
|
The Return of the Archons
"Our discovery that a computer ruled the stagnant, soulless society on Beta Ill made my choice clear: we had to pull the plug. The Prime Directive refers to living, growing cultures; Landru's society certainly wasn't that. It was a machine's concept of perfection. Landru may have programmed the computer, but he couldn't give it wisdom, compassion, or understanding. Without freedom of choice, there is no creativity, and without creativity, there is no life. Landru's computer was the evil on Beta IlI, and when I made it see this, the computer self-destructed." — Captain Kirk |
24 |
|
A Taste of Armageddon
"Eminiar VIl and Vendikar had been waging a war strictly with computers for 500 years. Death, destruction, disease, horror—that's what makes war a thing to be avoided. Anon [sic] 7's people had made it so neat and painless, they felt no need to stop it. When they threatened the Enterprise, I had to act. I destroyed their attack simulation computers, forcing Anon [sic] 7 to negotiate peace with Vendikar. I had a feeling both sides would do anything to avoid the messy business of real war, and I was right. Sometimes a feeling is all we humans have to go on." — Captain Kirk |
25 |
|
Space Seed
"Khan Noonien Singh was, in some respects, an improved breed of human. However, superior ability breeds superior ambition. Khan was the most dangerous of Earth's tyrants in the 1990s. When we found him aboard the S.S. Botany Bay and revived him, he tried to take the Enterprise. Lieutenant McGivers helped Khan at first. Rather than subject McGivers to a court martial and Khan to a reorientation center, I allowed them both to settle on Ceti Alpha V, a savage but habitable world. For Khan, like Lucifer, it was better to rule in hell than to serve in heaven." — Captain Kirk |
26 |
|
This Side of Paradise
"My orders were to remove the colonists from Omicron Ceti III, but their leader, Elias Sandoval, refused to cooperate. Soon my own crew joined the colonists in their strange paradise. Their minds were being influenced by alien spores that gave them health and peace of mind, at the cost of ambition. Fortunately I discovered that violent emotions, like anger, destroy the spores. Mankind stagnates if we have no desire to be more than we are. Maybe we aren't meant for paradise. Maybe we're meant to struggle, claw our way up, scratch for every inch of the way." — Captain Kirk |
27 |
|
The Devil in the Dark
"To the miners of Janus VI, the Horta was a murdering monster. Spock's mind-meld with the Horta revealed that it was an intelligent, peaceful creature who had no objection to sharing the planet with the miners until they began destroying her eggs. She fought back in the only way she knew how, as any mother would. After McCoy treated the Horta's wound, the two sides reached an agreement: the Horta and her children would tunnel, and the miners would collect the minerals. Once the mother tells her kids what to look for, the miners are going to be embarrassingly rich." — Captain Kirk |
28 |
|
Errand of Mercy
"I found the Organians incredibly frustrating. They not only rejected our help against the Klingons, they refused to believe they were in any danger at all. It turned out that they were far more advanced than we are and they did not need our help. In an instant, they stopped the war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. I found myself embarrassed, because I'd been furious with the Organians for stopping a war I didn't want. We think of ourselves as the most powerful beings in the universe; it's unsettling to discover that we're wrong." — Captain Kirk |
29 |
|
The City on the Edge of Forever
"McCoy, suffering from a cordrazine overdose, jumped through the Guardian of Forever and changed history. Spock and I followed him back in time to undo the damage, but while there I fell in love with Edith Keeler, which made my task unbearable. Edith had to die in a traffic accident as she was meant to, so I had to stop Bones from saving her. Even knowing the truth. I wasn't sure I could do it. When the time came, though, I did what had to be done. The past and present were restored…but it took me time to recover." — Captain Kirk |
30 |
|
Operation: Annihilate!
"We arrived at Deneva too late to save my brother, Sam. His wife, Aurelan, died a short time later. My nephew Peter was still alive, but suffering. The creatures that attacked the planet took over their human hosts and caused great pain. I could not let them spread beyond Deneva, but I would not kill a million people—including Spock, who'd been attacked on the planet's surface—to stop the creatures. We found a third alternative: ultraviolet light destroyed them without harming the hosts. Spock was blinded during a trial in sickbay, but the condition was only temporary." — Captain Kirk |
31 |
|
Catspaw
"Spock, McCoy and I transported down to Pyris VIl to find Scott and Sulu, and to discover what killed crewman Jackson. We encountered witches, a castle, and a black cat—as if someone were playing an elaborate trick-or-treat on us. Korob and Sylvia, bird-like beings who projected a human appearance, were behind it all. They used their minds, amplified by a transmuting device, to create the illusions and control my missing men. Sylvia was particularly dangerous. She wanted me to join her in a quest for power. When I destroyed the transmuter, the illusions vanished, and Sylvia and Korob died." — Captain Kirk |
32 |
|
Metamorphosis
"Zefram Cochrane's Companion—the creature that kept him alive for 150 years—brought Spock, McCoy, Assistant Commissioner Hedford and I to Cochrane's planet to keep him company. Using the universal translator, I explained to the Companion that it was wrong to keep us there against our will. After I stressed the hopelessness of her love for Cochrane, the Companion cohabited the body of Miss Hedfard so that she could love Cochrane in more human terms. 'The two of them remained on the planet behind to live out their days together while Spock, McCoy and I returned to the Enterprise." — Captain Kirk |
33 |
|
Friday's Child
"We tried to approach the Capellans cautiously, but Lieutenant Grant was young and inexperienced. He saw the Klingon in their midst, drew his phaser, and was killed. Still, I had to continue the effort to secure a mining treaty with the Capellans. Unfortunately, the Klingon incited a coup, and the situation was further complicated by Eleen, the pregnant wife of the late High Teer. A showdown in the hills ended when Scotty beamed down with a security team to rescue us. We secured the mining rights, and Eleen named her child Leonard James Akaar to honor Bones and myself." — Captain Kirk |
34 |
|
Who Mourns for Adonais?
"To the people of ancient Greece, space travelers capable of altering their form at will and commanding great energy would have been taken for gods. Apollo was one of these aliens. On Pollux IV he demanded that we stay and worship him. We had to prove to him that we'd outgrown him. He asked for something we could no longer give. Lieutenant Palamas overcame her personal feelings for Apollo and rejected him, which was integral to our escape. Apollo, heartbroken, disappeared on the wind. I wonder, would it have hurt us to have gathered a few laurel leaves?" — Captain Kirk |
35 |
|
Amok Time
"Spock's demand that he be taken to Vulcan was inexplicable at first. Once he opened up about Pon farr, I violated Starfleet orders and diverted our course to Vulcan. I owed Spock my life a dozen times over and I wasn't about to let him die, even if it ended my career. Once on Vulcan, I was compelled to fight Spock in an ancient ritual demanded by his betrothed, TPring. McCoy made it look like Spock killed me, which ended the ceremony and cured Spock of the Pon farr. Thanks to T'Pau, Starfleet overlooked our detour to Vulcan." — Captain Kirk |
36 |
|
The Doomsday Machine
"The thing that wrecked the U.S.S Constellation was a "doomsday machine"—a robotic weapon so strong, it could destroy both sides in a war. Commodore Matt Decker tried to atone for the loss of his crew by using the Enterprise to resume his reckless attack on the weapon. When I ordered Spock to relieve Decker, he took a shuttlecraft and flew directly into the machine's throat. Matt had the right idea, but not enough power. I recreated his maneuver using the Constellation, and the resulting explosion killed the machine. My log shows that Matt died in the line of duty." — Captain Kirk |
37 |
|
Wolf in the Fold
"While on shore leave on Argelius, Scotty fell under suspicion of murdering a woman. Soon there were two more murders, and Scotty seemed guilty each time. Once we moved the investigation to the Enterprise, we discovered that the murderer was actually "Jack the Ripper"—the entity that terrorized London 300 years ago. After Bones tranquilized the entire crew so they wouldn't feel fear. Spock and I beamed the entity into space while it was in the body of Administrator Hengist. For the next few hours, I had the happiest crew in space." — Captain Kirk |
38 |
|
The Changeling
"Nomad was an extremely dangerous space probe. It planned to return to Earth and "sterilize," or kill, all imperfect life it found there. I had to stop Nomad, and the key was its own mistaken belief that I was its creator. I made Nomad see that it had made three errors: first, Jackson Roykirk created it, not me; second, Nomad did not discover its mistake: and third. it had not corrected its mistake by "sterilizing" itself. My "dazzling display" of logic, as Spock called it, was too much for Nomad. We beamed it into space just before it self-destructed." — Captain Kirk |
39 |
|
The Apple
"Gamma Trianguli VI was beautiful but full of deadly hazards. I lost three crewmen within minutes of beaming down. Soon we found a settlement of peaceful villagers, entirely dependent on a machine called Vaal. Spock and McCoy argued about whether we ought to interfere, and I sided with McCoy. The villagers weren't living, they were merely existing. Vaal attacked the Enterprise with a tractor beam, which made my decision easier: Vaal had to be destroyed. The people of Vaal will learn to care for themselves and enjoy their freedom. They will also learn about children, and they'll enjoy that, too. — Captain Kirk |
40 |
|
Mirror, Mirror
"Personnel changes on the mirror universe Enterprise were dramatic. Behavior was brutal and savage, and assassination was a common means of advancing in rank. Still, Spock was a man of integrity in both universes. He helped me and the rest of the landing party return to our Enterprise. Before we left, I encouraged the mirror Spock to consider the illogic of his Empire. In every revolution, there's one man with a vision. The mirror Jim Kirk returned to his universe as I returned to mine, and I suspect he's found a few changes, if I read my Spocks correctly." — Captain Kirk |
41 |
|
The Deadly Years
"Getting old in a matter of days was a truly harrowing experience. I and the other landing party members picked up a rapid aging disease on Gamma Hydra IV. Memory loss impaired my ability to command, and Commodore Stocker forced me to endure a competency hearing. I was furious with Spock for going along with it. Stocker took command and got us into a dire situation with the Romulans, but we discovered a cure in time for me to save the ship. It was an experience we'll remember in our old age—which won't be for some while, I hope." — Captain Kirk |
42 |
|
I, Mudd
"Harry Mudd's androids offered my crew anything they wanted, just by asking for it. A gilded cage is still a cage, though. We had to get back to the Enterprise, and to do that, we used wild, insane, irrational behavior to confuse and overload the androids—particularly Norman, their control center. Afterward, we reprogrammed the androids and left Harry with them to serve as a first-class example of a human failure. We even provided Harry with 500 android copies of his wife, Stella, to make sure he works with the androids and doesn't exploit them." — Captain Kirk |
43 |
|
The Trouble with Tribbles
"From the moment we received the priority one distress call from Deep Space Station K-7, the whole Sherman's Planet project gave me a headache. Nilz Baris insisted that I protect his precious quadrotriticale, and Starfleet backed him up. The Klingons and members of my crew engaged in a barroom brawl, forcing me to cancel shore leave. Worst of all, Cyrano Jones' tribbles threatened to overrun the station and the Enterprise. In the end, though, the tribbles helped us discover that the Klingons had poisoned the grain in hopes of claiming Sherman's Planet for themselves." — Captain Kirk |
44 |
|
Bread and Circuses
"R.M. Merik was a friend of mine at Starfleet Academy. He was dropped for failing his psycho-simulator test—hardly the type to become a political strongman. Yet he'd become First Citizen on a planet that echoed Earth's Roman Empire. Merik sent the crew of his merchant vessel into the arena, to fight and die as gladiators. He and Proconsul Marcus intended for my entire crew to beam down and suffer the same fate. A runaway slave named Flavius—and Merik himself, who had a last-minute change of heart—helped Spock, Bones and me return to the Enterprise." — Captain Kirk |
45 |
|
Journey to Babel
"At the start of our journey to Babel, my most pressing problem was keeping open warfare from breaking out among the delegates. Then Spock's father fell ill, an Orion spy stuck a knife in my back, and an alien ship fired on the Enterprise. Sarek needed blood transfusions from Spock, but Spock wouldn't report to sickbay until I convinced him I was well enough to resume command. We disabled the alien vessel and I returned to sickbay, where I found both Sarek and Spock recovering from surgery. McCoy, obviously enjoying himself, confined all three of us to bed." — Captain Kirk |
46 |
|
A Private Little War
"Thirteen years ago, I surveyed the planet Neural and likened it to a garden of Eden. On my latest visit, I was dismayed to find that the Klingons were interfering with the planet's development by furnishing the villagers with flintlocks. I made a decision that Bones strongly disagreed with: we had to provide Tyree's hill people with the same firearms. That was the only way to equalize both sides again. A balance of power is the trickiest, dirtiest game of all, but it's the only one that preserves both sides. It's not what I wanted, but it had to be." — Captain Kirk |
47 |
|
The Gamesters of Triskelion
"The Thralls of Triskelion knew nothing about freedom, self-governance, or even love. Their lives were spent training and fighting one another for the amusement of the Providers, creatures who lived below ground. I helped my Drill Thrall, Shahna, see that life could be so much more. Uhura, Chekov and I resisted our captivity at every turn, but it wasn't until I made a wager with the Providers that escape became possible. I fought and defeated three opponents, earning not only our freedom but that of all the Thralls. The Providers promised to train them to live on their own." — Captain Kirk |
48 |
|
Obsession
"My intuition told me that the sweet-smelling cloud that attacked the U.S.S. Farragut 11 years earlier was intelligent. It killed 200 of the Farragut's crew, including Captain Garrovick, one of the finest men I ever knew. I became obsessed with destroying the creature, in part because I blamed myself for the tragedy. I'd hesitated when I had the chance to shoot it. On the Enterprise, Ensign Garrovick—the late captain's son—suffered the same guilt. Soon, though, we learned that phasers would not kill the thing. The ensign and I destroyed it with an antimatter explosion." — Captain Kirk |
49 |
|
The Immunity Syndrome
"The entity that destroyed the U.S.S. Intrepid and the Gamma 7A star system was an incredibly huge, single-celled being whose energies were destructive to all known life. Both Spock and McCoy volunteered to penetrate the cell in a shuttlecraft and find a way to destroy it, knowing they might not return. McCoy had the medical and biological knowledge, but Spock was better suited physically and emotionally to withstand the stress, so I chose him for the mission. The data Spock sent back helped us destroy the organism with an antimatter probe. We survived the explosion, and we rescued Spock, too." — Captain Kirk |
50 |
|
A Piece of the Action
"In old Chicago on Earth, conventional government almost broke down. The gangs nearly took over. Society on Sigma lotia Il broke down in the same way, as a result of the U.S.S. Horizon's influence. We had to straighten the mess out. I convinced the lotian bosses to form a syndicate under Bela Oxmyx. The Federation's "cut" will be used to help guide the lotians into a more ethical system of government. Unfortunately, though, Bones left his communicator in Bela's office. They'll find out how the transtator works, and in a few years, they may demand a piece of our action." — Captain Kirk |
51 |
|
By Any Other Name
"The Kelvans chose the Enterprise for their trip to the Andromeda Galaxy, which meant taking human form to operate it. As humans, the Kelvans experienced human reactions, something they weren't ready for. I stoked romantic feelings in Kelinda to make their leader, Rojan, jealous. When he attacked me, I used his own actions to convince him of how much he'd changed. He agreed to drop his plans for invasion and settle peaceably on an uninhabited world. Among other things, Rojan learned that being human has certain advantages, like being able to appreciate the beauty of a flower…or a woman." — Captain Kirk |
52 |
|
Return to Tomorrow
"McCoy obiected strongly when Sargon, Thalassa and Henoch, three non-corporeal beings, asked to transfer themselves into myself, Spock and Doctor Mulhall long enough to build android bodies for themselves. I could have ordered it, but I wanted McCoy's assent, and Scotty's, too. McCoy was right in pointing out the danger, but the potential for knowledge was equally great. Risk is our business! We moved forward with the plan, but Henoch's treachery proved to the others that they could not exist in our world. Anne Mulhall and I gave Sargon and Thalassa one last moment together before they departed." — Captain Kirk |
53 |
|
Patterns of Force
"The Federation sent John Gill to Ekos to abserve, not interfere. Something went wrong. When we arrived at Ekos, we found a society modeled on Nazi Germany—with Gill as their Fuhrer! This made no sense; it went against every principle he ever believed. When we found Gill, he explained through heavy sedation that his experiment had worked at first. Then Melakon took over, and the sadistic tyranny against neighboring planet Zeon began. Melakon murdered Gill before he, too, was killed. With his last words, Gill admitted that even historians can fail to learn from history." — Captain Kirk |
54 |
|
The Ultimate Computer
"Only a fool would stand in the way of progress…but Doctor Daystrom's M-5 computer felt wrong to me, even dangerous. My intuition proved correct when the M-5 took control of the Enterprise and fired on the Starships Lexington and Excalibur with phasers at full power. Hundreds died before I forced the M-5 to realize it had committed murder. To atone, M-5 turned itself off, leaving itself—and us—open to destruction by the other Federation ships. I ordered Scotty not to raise shields, and my gamble worked. Commander Wesley saw that we were vulnerable and called off his attack." — Captain Kirk |

The Omega Glory
"Captain Tracey thought he'd found a fountain of youth on Omega IV. All he'd really found was a society where people lived longer because it was natural for them to. In other respects, the "Yangs" and "Kohms" closely paralleled Earth's Yankees and Communists. The Yangs revered their copy of the United States Constitution, but I had to show them that the document must apply to everyone, Yangs and Kohms alike, or the words meant nothing. Liberty and freedom have to be more than just words. We left them to discover their history, and their liberty." — Captain Kirk |

Assignment: Earth
"Gary Seven claimed that his mission was to help Earth in 1968 by destroying a United States nuclear warhead. What if it turned out, however, that Gary was an invading alien? He might set the controls of his computer so that we couldn't detonate the warhead. Without facts, I had to act on my intuition. I allowed Gary to complete his mission, which turned out to be the right choice. Our record tapes show that on the date in question, a malfunctioning suborbital warhead was exploded 104 miles above the Earth, so everything happened the way it was
supposed to " — Captain Kirk |

|
Spectre of the Gun
"The American frontier was a violent place in 1881, but it was part of my heritage. The Melkotians forced Spock, Bones, Scotty, Chekov, and myself to play the losing side in the Battle at the O.K. Corral as punishment for ignoring their warning buoy. We didn't lose, though, because Spock helped us understand that the bullets weren't real. I wanted to crush the life out of the Earps for apparently killing Chekov, but I restrained myself. The Melkotians learned that we only fight when given no choice. They restored us all to the Enterprise and allowed us to approach their planet in peace." — Captain Kirk |
58 |
|
Elaan of Troyius
"Our mission in the Tellun star system was to pick up Elaan, the Dohlman of Elas, and take her to Troyius to be wed to that planet's ruler. Elaan was against the whole thing. When she stabbed the groom's ambassador, I took over the job of teaching her manners—no easy task. At one point I even threatened to give Elaan a spanking. Her tears were a kind of love potion, and I became infected. I wasn't happy at the prospect of Elaan marrying another man, but I had my duty, and I carried it out." — Captain Kirk |
59 |
|
The Paradise Syndrome
"I was happy with Miramanee's people. Their land was rich, their society peaceful. l'd lost my memory inside their "temple," a device placed by the Providers to deflect asteroids. In my amnesia, I married Miramanee and fell deeply in love with her. I'd have been at peace if not for vague dreams of the Enterprise and two faces—Spock and McCoy, When I couldn't get back into the temple, the people stoned Miramanee and me. Spock and McCoy returned in time to activate the deflector, saving the planet. Spock restored my memory, but I lost Miramanee and my unborn child." — Captain Kirk |
60 |
|
The Enterprise Incident
"Our secret mission to acquire a Romulan cloaking device required that I feign signs of tension and stress, combined with feelings of persecution and rebellion. Spock also played a part in our charade. He pretended to kill me with the "Vulcan death grip," and he forged a romantic relationship with the Romulan commander. With Bones' help I became a Romulan, complete with pointed ears, so that I could sneak aboard their ship and steal the cloaking device. Unexpectedly, we got the Romulan commander, too…and she was none too pleased with Spock's deceit." — Captain Kirk |
61 |
|
And the Children Shall Lead
"It was incredible that the Starnes colony children could suppress any feelings concerning their parents' deaths. The mystery deepened when, inside a cave, I was overwhelmed by a powerful feeling of anxiety. It happened again on the Enterprise, when the children channeled the evil of their leader, Gorgan, to summon my "inner beast." For a moment I was stricken with the fear of losing the Enterprise. But my "beast" lost its power in the light of reality. We helped the children see Gorgan for the evil creature he really was. Without their support, he dissolved into oblivion." — Captain Kirk |
62 |
|
Spock's Brain
"When Spock's brain was taken, Scotty, McCoy and I tracked it to a complex civilization hundreds of meters below the surface of Sigma Draconis VI. The women who lived here were simple-minded, like young children. The men, equally simple, were their servants. McCoy got an assist from their "Great Teacher" device and restored Spock's brain to his body. I tried to reassure Kara, the female leader, that her people will be better off without the "Controller." They will live and develop as they should, with men and women living together above ground." — Captain Kirk |
63 |
|
Is There in Truth No Beauty?
"I think most of us are attracted to beauty and repelled by ugliness, one of our last prejudices. Dr. Miranda Jones was certainly beautiful, but there was an ugliness inside her which almost prevented her from saving Spock's sanity. He looked upon Kollos, the Medusan ambassador, and lost his mind. Miranda was blind and could never see Kollos as Spock did, which made her intensely jealous. I made her confront her jealousy, perhaps saying too much, but Spock's life hung in the balance. Ultimately Miranda saved Spock with a mind-meld, and she forgave me for my harsh words." — Captain Kirk |
64 |
|
The Empath
"The Vians tortured me to test Gem's willingness to heal my wounds empathically, despite the pain she would suffer. When she passed that test they moved on to McCoy, injuring him so badly that he would not live long. Spock and I refused to leave Bones, even if it meant our deaths, too. The Vians had lost the capacity to feel the emotions the wanted Gem to experience. They didn't understand life. Love and compassion were dead in them; they were nothing but intellect. When I made them see this, they healed McCoy and let us go." — Captain Kirk |
65 |
|
The Tholian Web
"We found the U.S.S. Defiant in uncharted space. Her crew was dead, and the Defiant kept blinking in and out of phase with our universe. Before I could beam back to the Enterprise I slipped into the other universe. I had it all to myself, but I must say, I like a crowded universe much better. After my crew rescued me, I asked Bones and Spock if my last taped orders had been helpful. They said they'd never had the chance to listen to them. I hope we won't have any more opportunities to test those orders." — Captain Kirk |
66 |
|
For The World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky
"The Fabrini descendants aboard the planet-ship Yonada had no idea they were living inside a hollow ball. I had to tell their leader, Natira, the truth, because the Yonada was off course. Natira resisted at first, but we corrected the course, averting Yonada's collision with Daran V. During the mission, McCoy — who was suffering from xenopolycythemia — fell in love with Natira. Fortunately, we found a cure to Bones condition in the Fabrini intelligence files. When the Yonada arrives at its destination in 390 days. I'll make sure the Enterprise is there so Bones can thank the Fabrini personally." — Captain Kirk |
67 |
|
Day of the Dove
"We didn't know at first that an alien entity had boarded the Enterprise along with Commander Kang's crew. It manipulated the situation to create two equal forces bent on waging a war without end. Once we found the alien we had to get rid of it, and I needed Kang's help. He wouldn't consider a truce until he, too, saw that the entity was inciting us to fight for its own subsistence. Kang detested the idea of being the alien's pawn. He joined me in ending the violence and demonstrating good humor instead. The alien weakened and fled." — Captain Kirk |
68 |
|
Plato's Stepchildren
"The humiliation we suffered for the Platonians' amusement provoked great anger not only in me, but in Spock, too. No matter what they did to us, McCoy could not remain behind on Platonius as Parmen wanted. The Platonians were half-dead inside, and they couldn't stand the fact that we were living. They had to torture members of my crew, and the dwarf Alexander, to convince themselves that they were superior. Once we replicated their psychokinetic ability at twice Parmen's power, we put a stop to their cruelty. I also granted Alexander's wish to accompany us to the Enterprise." — Captain Kirk |
69 |
|
Wink of an Eye
"Deela, the beautiful queen of the Scalosian people, wanted to make me their king, but I wouldn't have lasted long. The slightest injury while living at the Scalosians hyper-accelerated level would have aged me incredibly fast and burned me out. Deela intended for me, and eventually the other men in my crew, to help her species procreate. I tricked Deela by pretending to accept the situation, then grabbed her weapon and retook control of the ship with Spock's help. Defeated, Deela and her people returned to Scalos. I wish we could have found some other way to help them." — Captain Kirk |
70 |
|
That Which Survives
"Losira was as beautiful as she was deadly. She killed crewman Wyatt and geologist D'Amato, and she injured Mr. Sulu—all with a mere touch. Eventually we learned that Losira was being programmed and replicated by a computer left by the Kalandans to defend their station. The computer was too perfect; it projected so much of the original Losira's personality into the replicas that they felt guilt and regret at killing. That bought us the time we needed to find and destroy the computer. The real Losira died thousands of years ago. She must have been a remarkable woman." — Captain Kirk |
71 |
|
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield
"Bele and Lokai were two of a kind, except for one difference: Bele's black and white coloring was the reverse of Lokai's. Their hatred for each other knew no bounds. I nearly had to destroy the Enterprise to wrest control back from Bele. When we arrived at Cheron, their home planet, we found that their people had annihilated each other. Their causes no longer existed. I urged Bele and Lokai to give up their hate and live with us, but they wouldn't listen. Lokai beamed down to Cheron, and Bele followed him. Hate was all they had left." — Captain Kirk |
72 |
|
Whom Gods Destroy
"I studied Captain Garth's victory at Axanar when I was a cadet. He was one of Starfleet's finest captains. The mental disease that left him criminally insane wasn't his fault. When I met Garth at the penal colony on Elba lI, he was determined to escape aboard the Enterprise. Spock and I managed to corner him, but he took my form and attacked me. It took Spock a while to reach a decision, but ultimately he determined which of us was his real captain. A new drug therapy will help Garth return to the man he once was." — Captain Kirk |
73 |
|
The Mark of Gideon
"The Gideons held me captive on a duplicate Enterprise in hopes that I would fall in love with Odona and stay on her planet. They planned to use a pathogen in my blood to solve their overpopulation problem. Odona and he father, Hodin, actually wanted her to die of the illness, to inspire other Gideons to do the same. I had other plans for my life, and I was not about to let Odona die of a curable disease, either. Once Spock rescued me, McCoy cured Odona. She returned to Gideon to supply the pathogen to her people." — Captain Kirk |
74 |
|
The Lights of Zetar
"All corporeal life was destroyed on Zetar long ago, yet 10 entities survived, desperate to inhabit a physical body. The aliens chose Lieutenant Mira Romaine to fill that need, but the price of their survival was too high. They were completely unmoved that Romaine had her own life to lead. We forced the aliens out of the lieutenant's body by placing her in a pressure chamber. Scotty's steadfast belief in Romaine helped her through the ordeal. I had her return to duty at once, based on input from Bones, Spock and Scotty. They were al in agreement—an Enterprise first!" — Captain Kirk |
75 |
|
The Cloud Minders
"We went to the planet Ardana to collect a vitally important consignment of zenite, but a conflict between the Troglyte miners and the Stratos cloud-city dwellers complicated our mission. Stratos denied the Troglytes equality and justice and tortured Troglyte dissidents. I had to prove to High Advisor Plasus and the Troglyte leader Vanna that zenite gas in the mines was responsible for retarding the Troglytes' minds. We supplied the miners with filter masks, and now they can reach their full potential. The obstinate Plasus remains skeptical, but he has agreed to hear the Troglytes' grievances." — Captain Kirk |
76 |
|
The Way to Eden
"Starfleet ordered me to handle Doctor Sevrin's group with tolerance because one of them, Tongo Rad, was the son of the Catullan ambassador. I used to get into trouble when I was their age, but I wanted to throw Sevrin's followers in the brig when they incited my crew to disaffect. Their destination was the planet Eden. We all hunger for such a place, but we don't act like irresponsible children, as they did. Ultimately, they found that Eden was a deadly world, not the place of myth. Sevrin died there, but we rescued four of his followers." — Captain Kirk |
77 |
|
Requiem for Methuselah
"Rayna was the perfect woman-smart, beautiful, charming. Her only flaw: she wasn't human. Flint kept Rayna and me together because he knew I could bring her emotions alive. His plan worked; Rayna and I fell in love. As Flint and I fought over her, Rayna declared her independence. She claimed the right of human choice, to do and think as she wished. Tragically, she could not choose between Flint and me, and the stress killed her. Even in my grief, I knew that Flint and I had put on a pretty poor show. Spock helped me move on." — Captain Kirk |
78 |
|
The Savage Curtain
"I did not believe that the life form we beamed up from the molten lava planet was actually Abraham Lincoln, but everything about him seemed so right. Spock and I accompanied Lincoln down to his planet, where we were joined by Surak of Vulcan. What followed was a contest of good vs. evil, forced upon us by the Excalbian rock creature. We defeated four evil figures from history, but Lincoln and Surak did not survive the encounter. I feel I actually met Lincoln, who's always been a personal hero to me. It was so hard to see him die again." — Captain Kirk |
79 |
|
All Our Yesterdays
"Knowing their sun was about to go nova, the people of Sarpeidon escaped into their planet's past. It wasn't our intention to follow them, but I wound up in Sarpeidon's witchcraft period, while Spock and McCoy found themselves in the planet's ice age. Five witnesses heard McCoy's voice speak to me and thought it was an evil spirit. I had little chance of prevailing in a witchcraft trial. Fortunately, I found another time traveler who took me back to the library portal. After dealing with Mr. Atoz and his replicas, I helped Spock and McCoy get back, too." — Captain Kirk |
80 |
|
Turnabout Intruder
"I never stopped Janice Lester from pursuing her space work, but she wanted a captaincy—a position she didn't merit by temperament or training. Her intense hatred of her own womanhood made life with her impossible. On Camus II, Janice used an alien device to switch bodies with me and take command of the Enterprise. Spock, who's closer to me than anyone in the universe, ascertained the truth. As Janice's hold on my ship and crew weakened, so too did the transference. She tried to have me killed, but I resisted. The transfer finally reversed, leaving Janice broken and defeated." — Captain Kirk |

W1 |
|
"Captain's Log. Stardate 1312.4. The impossible has happened. From directly ahead, we're picking up a recorded distress signal, the call letters of a vessel which has been missing for over two centuries. Did another Earth ship once probe out of the galaxy as we intend to do? What happened to it out there? Is this some warning they've left behind?" — Captain Kirk |
W2 |
|
As the Enterprise heads into uncharted space in search of a mysterious vessel, Kirk and Spock pass the time by playing a game of three-dimensional chess. Spock prematurely proclaims victory. Kirk then makes an unexpected move that thwarts his Vulcan first officer. The two men engage in witty banter that reveals a unique relationship. |
W3 |
|
Lieutenant Kelso hails Kirk and Spock from the bridge and informs them that the source of the distress signal is now within tractor beam range. Kelso adds that there's no visual contact and that the craft reads only about one meter in diameter. Kirk orders Kelso to lock onto the craft, so that they may bring it aboard the Enterprise. |
W4 |
|
Kirk and Spock arrive in the transporter room. Scotty announces, "Materializer ready, sir." Kirk then gives the order to bring the mysterious craft aboard. Kirk soon recognizes it as an old style ship recorder that could be ejected when something threatened the ship. Suddenly, the device begins transmitting, and Kirk puts all decks on alert. |
W5 |
|
Lieutenant Gary Mitchell joins Kirk and Spock in the turbolift en route to the bridge. Mitchell asks Spock about his game of chess with Kirk, and the Vulcan first officer notes that the captain played most illogically. Kirk gleefully reveals that his strategy resulted in victory. |
W6 |
|
The mood turns more serious once Kirk, Spock and Mitchell arrive on the bridge of the Enterprise. Kirk orders the view screen on, but there's nothing but open space ahead of them. As the ship reaches the edge of the Galaxy, Kirk orders Mitchell to neutralize warp and hold position. |
W7 |
|
Kirk addresses the crew on an intership channel: "This is the captain speaking. The object we encountered is a ship's disaster recorder, apparently ejected from the S.S. Valiant almost 200 years ago… We hope to learn from the recorder what the Valiant was doing here and what destroyed the vessel. We'll move on into our probe as soon as we have those answers. All decks stand by." |
W8 |
|
Kirk orders his department heads to report to the bridge, including Scotty (engineering), Sulu (astro-sciences] and Dr. Piper (life sciences]. Piper introduces a new member of the crew, Dr. Elizabeth Dehner, a psychiatrist whose assignment is to study crew reactions in emergency conditions. |
W9 |
|
Dr. Dehner expresses interest in studying reactions of the Valiant crew, if they had, in fact, encountered an emergency. "Improving the breed, doctor? Is that your line?" questions Mitchell. Dehner playfully retorts, "I heard that's more your specialty commander, line included." Mitchell appears to have met his match and mutters to Kelso, "Walking freezer unit." |
W10 |
|
Spock decodes the memory banks of the Valiant's disaster recorder. The ship encountered a magnetic space storm and was swept a half light year out of the Galaxy. Kirk notes that the old impulse engines weren't strong enough to resist. The ship encountered an unknown force. |
W11 |
|
Spock interpolates additional messages from the disaster recorder to reveal that the crew was in frantic search for data on extra sensory perception (ESP). Kirk questions Dehner's knowledge of the topic. Spock incredulously adds that the messages indicate that the Valiant captain ordered the destruction of his own ship |
W12 |
|
Dr. Piper remarks that all they know for sure is that the Valiant was destroyed. Kirk suggests that fact is the best argument to continue their mission, as other ships will eventually head into the same part of space and need to know what they're facing. Kirk orders Mitchell to take the Enterprise out of the Galaxy at warp factor one. |
W13 |
|
The Enterprise soon encounters a strange, purple-colored force field. Spock orders sensor beams on and deflectors at full intensity. The Vulcan first officer notes that deflectors indicate something ahead, while sensors reveal nothing. Spock adds, "Density negative. Radiation negative. Energy negative." The Enterprise forges ahead. |
W14 |
|
Upon entering the energy barrier, the Enterprise appears to be consumed by a giant storm in space. Kirk orders gravitation on automatic, but the ship's systems falter. Fires break out across the Enterprise. It's an emergency situation unlike anything they've encountered before. |
W15 |
|
As the crew fights to escape the energy barrier, Dehner and Mitchell appear to be struck by an electrical force. Dehner is knocked off her feet, but maintains consciousness, while Mitchell goes into shock. Spock notes that the main engines are out, and nine crewmen are dead. |
W16 |
|
After assessing the damage to the Enterprise, Kirk turns his attention to Mitchell, who lies face down on the floor of the bridge. Mitchell complains of feeling weak, and when Kirk turns him over, Mitchell's eyes reveal an eerie unnatural glow. |
W17 |
|
Kirk and his crew begin the process of putting the Enterprise back together, but the ship's engines remain burned out and its space-warp ability gone. Earth bases which were only days away are now years in the distance. Kirk ponders what destroyed the Valiant, which lived through the same space barrier that the Enterprise just encountered. |
W18 |
|
Dehner delivers an autopsy report to Kirk and reveals that the dead crew members suffered fatal brain damage. Kirk and Spock discover that the affected crew members, including Dehner and Mitchell, all had high ESP ratings. Dehner becomes defensive when Kirk and Spock suggest that they may be dealing with a dangerous form of ESP. |
W19 |
|
Kirk visits Mitchell in sickbay, where the long-time friends reminisce about old times in an attempt to normalize their situation. Despite Mitchell's complaint that his eyes kind of stare back at him when he shaves, he says that he feels better than ever, and that he's finally getting a chance to catch up on some reading. |
W20 |
|
Mitchell wants to get back to his post, but Kirk insists that he remain in sickbay, with Dr. Dehner keeping him under observation. Mitchell appears frustrated at the notion of having to deal with Dehner any more than he already has. Suddenly, Mitchell's voice takes on an eerie quality, startling the captain. |
W21 |
|
Kirk returns to the bridge, where Spock remotely monitors Mitchell's actions. The Vulcan first officer notes that Mitchell now reads at an increasingly superhuman pace. Kirk orders a full range of examination and tests, hoping to get to the bottom of what's happening to his long-time friend and crewman. |
W22 |
|
Dr. Piper runs a battery of tests on Mitchell and finds him in perfect physical health – too perfect, in fact. Piper comments, "I've never had a patient like you, Gary. Even the healthiest are generally off on some reading." Piper then leaves, allowing Dr. Dehner to examine Mitchell. |
W23 |
|
Dehner questions Mitchell, who apologizes for his "Walking Freezer Unit" comment. He soon demonstrates his superhuman powers of thought, altering the ship's medical scanner to make himself appear dead. Dehner panics and tries to revive him. Mitchell comes around on his own, and she notes that he was dead for almost 22 seconds. |
W24 |
|
Mitchell revels in his newfound powers. He explains to Dehner how he could go halfway through the ship's library in hardly a day. She tests his ability of recall by selecting a love sonnet, which Mitchells finds compelling. Mitchell begins to sense her attraction for him, but Dehner hesitates to reveal an visible signs of affection. |
W25 |
|
Kelso interrupts Dehner and Mitchell in sickbay. When Mitchell urges Kelso to recheck the starboard impulse packs, Kelso dismisses the advice, but Mitchell angrily tells him that it's not a joke. After Kelso exits, Mitchell tells Dehner that he simply read Kelso's mind, that the image of what Kelso had seen was still in his mind. |
W26 |
|
Kelso checks out the starboard impulse packs and reports back to Kirk that Mitchell was correct about the problem. Kelso offers no explanation for how Mitchell could have known of the problem, yet the circuit was burned out exactly as Mitchell described it. |
W27 |
|
Kirk convenes a meeting of the ship's department heads and Spock expresses concern for what Mitchell is mutating into. Dehner objects to Spock's unfeeling assessment, but Kirk overrules her. Spock then questions whether Dehner has witnessed any unusual powers in Mitchell, and she provides cautious, limited answers. |
W28 |
|
Scotty explains that, an hour earlier, the bridge controls started operating on their own. Spock notes that each time this happened, he checked his monitor and could see Mitchell smiling, as if the ship and crew were almost a toy for his amusement. Kirk then presses Dehner as to whether Mitchell possesses telekinetic abilities of such magnitude. |
W29 |
|
Kirk chastises Dehner for failing to provide a complete assessment of Mitchell's powers, but she pushes back, claiming that nobody has been hurt. She justifies herself by asserting that a mutated, superior man could be a wonderful thing, the forerunner of a new and better kind of human being. The ship's senior staff listens in stunned silence. |
W30 |
|
Sulu asserts that, in mathematical terms, Mitchell's abilities are increasing geometrically. Spock adds that in less than a month, Mitchell will have attained powers that they can't understand and can't cope with. The Vulcan suggests that soon, they will be not only useless to Mitchell, but an annoyance. |
W31 |
|
After dismissing the rest of his department heads, Kirk listens as Spock points out that they will never reach an Earth base with Mitchell on board. Spock recommends heading for Delta Vega, a planet which has a lithium cracking station that might enable them to repair the ship's engines. Spock also suggests stranding Mitchell on the planet. |
W32 |
|
After Kirk rejects Spock's recommendation to strand Mitchell on Delta Vega, the Vulcan offers a more desperate solution – to kill Mitchell while still possible. Kirk rejects that idea, too, but Spock logically points out that the captain of the Valiant probably felt the same way but waited too long. Without other options, Kirk sets course for Delta Vega. |
W33 |
|
The Enterprise reaches Delta Vega, an uninhabited planet slightly smaller than Earth, desolate but rich in crystal and minerals. Kelso's task is to use the planet's resources to save the ship. Kirk's other task is somehow to get Mitchell down to the surface of the planet, and if successful, maroon him there. |
W34 |
|
Kirk, Spock and Dehner check in on Mitchell, whose powers have evolved to include telepathy and telekinesis. Mitchell declares that he feels like a blind man who has suddenly been given sight. He feels that there's nothing he couldn't do, in time. Mitchell questions whether that makes him a monster. |
W35 |
|
Kirk asks Mitchell what he'd do in his place, and Mitchell replies, "Probably what Mr. Spock is thinking now – kill me." Mitchell suddenly sends an electric shot through his body to stun Kirk and Spock and declares that he won't let them take him to Delta Vega, that he hasn't decided yet what kind of world he can "use." |
W36 |
|
As Mitchell ponders the future of his growing powers, as if he were a god, Kirk delivers a karate chop to Mitchell's abdomen and a punch to his chin. He and Spock hold down the stunned Mitchell, as Dehner injects him with a hypo that knocks him unconscious. |
W37 |
|
Kirk and Spock carry the sedated Mitchell to the transporter room. Mitchell awakens and tries to break free, but Dr. Piper injects him with another sedative that renders him powerless for the moment. Once they are situated on [the] transporter platform, Scotty beams them, along with Dr. Dehner, to the planet bélow. |
W38 |
|
After beaming down to Delta Vega, an otherwise uninhabited planet, Kirk and Spock grab hold of the heavily sedated Mitchell. They are soon greeted by Kelso and Leslie. Kelso informs Kirk that he's encouraged at the prospects of fixing the Enterprise's engines, while Spock and Leslie take Mitchell to a holding cell within the complex. |
W39 |
|
Kelso and Alden continue to work on repairing the ship's engines with the materials available on Delta Vega. Kirk questions Kelso as to whether the fuel bins on the station could be rigged for remote detonation. Kelso confirms that it's feasible, so Kirk orders it. Meanwhile, Spock informs Kirk that Mitchell has regained consciousness. |
W40 |
|
Taking no chances, Kirk informs Dr. Piper and Dr. Dehner that he wants only one medical officer present at Mitchell's holding cell at any one time, while the other monitors Mitchell from the dispensary screen. Dehner asks to stay first, so that she can talk to Mitchell. Piper accedes and departs for the dispensary. |
W41 |
|
Mitchell reminds Kirk that he once took a poison dart to save Kirk's life and thus questions why Kirk should be afraid of him now. The captain replies that Mitchell has been testing his ability to take over the Enterprise and made comments about destroying anyone in his way. Mitchell dismisses those comments as a result of being drugged. |
W42 |
|
Kirk reminds his longtime friend and colleaque that in sickbay aboard the Enterprise Mitchell suggested that he would kill a mutant like himself. Mitchell adds that Kirk should have killed him then, that Spock was right to think it. Dehner questions whether Mitchell really believes his own words. |
W43 |
|
Mitchell becomes agitated and asserts that mankind cannot survive if a true race of Espers like himself were to exist. Mitchell then throws himself into the force field of his cell, which momentarily drains his power and causes him to fall to the floor. For a brief few seconds, Mitchell's eyes return to normal. |
W44 |
|
Spock asserts that with Mitchell's eyes returning to normal, his powers may be neutralized, giving them the chance to handle him. However, the eerie glow soon returns to Mitchell's eyes, and their opportunity is lost. Mitchell regains his composure and declares that he's only getting stronger. |
W45 |
|
Aboard the Enterprise, Scotty installs some equipment that restores power to the bridge. He notifies the captain and asks whether Spock has received the phaser rifle sent down. Kirk seems surprised, since he hadn't ordered such a weapon. Spock then shows up toting the rifle and informs Kirk of Mitchell's growing powers. |
W46 |
|
Kirk questions Spock's belief that killing Mitchell is right and that Dr. Dehner, who feels that Mitchell isn't so dangerous, is wrong. Spock stoically asserts that he only knows logic, concluding that they will be lucky to get away from Mitchell before it's too late. The decision of what to do with Mitchell weighs heavily on Kirk. |
W47 |
|
Kelso has successfully rigged a button that could detonate the fuel bins and blow up the entire valley, along with the power station and everyone in it. Kirk instructs Kelso to press that button, in the event that Mitchell gets out and if Kelso feels there's no alternative. |
W48 |
|
With the ship's engines almost fully regenerated, Kirk orders most of the landing party back to the Enterprise. Meanwhile, Dehner appears increasingly fascinated by Mitchell and his growing Esper abilities. She refuses to leave him alone on the planet, openly defying Kirk's orders. |
W49 |
|
Alone in the control room, Kelso hails the Enterprise and discusses with Scotty his success in repairing the ship's engines. However, Mitchell, still contained within his cell and using only his increasing powers to manipulate objects with his mind, strangles Kelso with a power cord. |
W50 |
|
While Dehner tries to argue against stranding Mitchell on Delta Vega, the mutating human states, "You should have killed me while you could, James. Command and compassion is a fool's mixture." Mitchell then shoots bolts of electricity from his body that knock out Kirk and Spock. |
W51 |
|
With his increased powers, Mitchell uses his mind to deactivate the force field of his holding cell. He walks through the door of the cell and silently, knowingly puts his hand to Dehner's face. He leads her to a mirror inside the cell, revealing that she, too, has begun to mutate. Her eyes exhibit the same eerie glow as his. |
W52 |
|
Dr. Piper revives Kirk, who orders him and Spock to return to the Enterprise. Kirk adds that if they've not received a signal from him within 12 hours, they are to head to the nearest Earth base with his recommendation that the entire planet be subjected to a lethal concentration of neutron radiation. Kirk then leaves to pursue Mitchell. |
W53 |
|
Mitchell and Dehner traverse the barren Delta Vega landscape, and she states that it would take almost a miracle for them to survive there. "Then I shall make one…. Behold!" replies Mitchell, and with a wave of his hand, he instantly turns the wasteland into a lush, plant-filled terrain. Dehner marvels at Mitchell's seemingly limitless abilities. |
W54 |
|
Following directions given to him by Dr. Piper, Kirk heads across the valley to the left of the pointed peaks in pursuit of Mitchell. The terrain is rocky and dangerous. Sensing Kirk's presence Mitchell causes a boulder to dislodge, almost killing the captain. Its merely a warning from Mitchell. |
W55 |
|
Mitchell revels in his emerging, growing powers and encourages Dehner to enjoy being a god. As he and Dehner share a Kaferian apple, Mitchell projects his voice into the distance so that Kirk can hear him. Dehner says that she, too, can see Kirk in her mind, and Mitchell urges her to go talk to him, to see just how unimportant "they" are. |
W56 |
|
Dehner confronts Kirk, who sees the eerie glow in her eyes. She explains that the mutation just took a little longer for her. Kirk pleads with Dehner to help him stop Mitchell, but she is unmoved, believing that before long, they will be where it would have taken mankind millions of years of learning to reach. |
W57 |
|
Dehner urges Kirk to turn back, but he persists. Kirk pleads with her to be a psychiatrist for one minute longer – to consider whether Mitchell will know what to do with his power. He begs her to see the ugly side of his transformation. "What do you see happening to him?" pleads Kirk, "What's your prognosis, doctor?!" |
W58 |
|
Mitchell interrupts Kirk and Dehner. Knowing that he has no choice, Kirk unleashes what would be for any normal human a lethal blast from his phaser rifle. Mitchell merely smiles as the phaser fire bounces off his chest. Using only his mental powers, Mitchell swats the weapon from Kirk's hands. |
W59 |
|
Mitchell remarks, "I've been contemplating the death of an old friend…. He deserves a decent burial, at least." With subtle hand movements and the power of his mind, Mitchell creates a grave, with a headstone bearing the captain's name. |
W60 |
|
Dehner begins to see the unsavory side of Mitchell's growing powers and pleads with him to stop punishing Kirk. Mitchell remains unmoved and remarks. "Morals are for men, not gods." Kirk snaps back, "God…but still driven by human frailty." Kirk then turns to Dehner and asks, "You like what you see?" |
W61 |
|
Mitchell continues to abuse his powers, manipulating Kirk's body into a praying position. Mitchell adds, "Time to pray, captain. Pray to me… Pray that you die easily." Kirk turns to Dehner and again asks, "You like what you see? Absolute power corrupting absolutely?" |
W62 |
|
Dehner sees that Mitchell has become consumed by his growing powers and turns on the mutated human she had so admired. Extending her arm towards Mitchell, Dehner sends a jolt of energy from her own mutating body to his. Mitchell returns fire, and the two mutants volley debilitating jolts of electricity back and forth, sapping each other's energy. |
W63 |
|
Stunned by Dehner's attack, Mitchell falls to the ground, and suddenly his eyes return to normal. Dehner implores Kirk to hurry, that he hasn't much time. Freed from Mitchell's mind control, Kirk snaps into action and pummels his mutated friend with a series of blows. |
W64 |
|
During their brutal hand-to-hand battle Kirk pins down Mitchell, grabs a rock and readies to deliver a death blow. However, Kirk hesitates and begs "Gary, forgive me." In that moment of hesitation, Mitchell's eyes once again return to an eerie glow, and Kirk's advantage is lost. |
W65 |
|
With his powers restored, Mitchell easily tosses Kirk aside. Kirk continues to put up a fight, but Mitchell possesses superior strength. He picks up a giant boulder and tosses it at Kirk, who barely gets out of the way. Kirk then grabs Mitchell, and the two men fall into the grave intended for Kirk's burial. |
W66 |
|
With great physical agility, Kirk leaps away from Mitchell, quickly grabs his phaser rifle and fires away. The blast knocks Mitchell off balance and causes a giant rock to fallon top of the mutant crewman, who is killed under the weight of the boulder. |
W67 |
|
After killing his friend and crewman. Kirk tries to help Dehner. However, the injuries she suffered while exchanging lethal jolts of electricity with Mitchell overcome her. With her dying breath, she states, "I'm sorry. You can't know what it's like to be almost a god." |
W68 |
|
Following the deaths of Mitchell and Dehner, a battered but nevertheless triumphant Kirk hails the Enterprise. The captain soon beams back to this ship. |
W69 |
|
On the bridge, the captain enters into his log that Dr. Elizabeth Dehner and Lt. Commander Gary Mitchell were added to the official losses. Kirk adds that they gave their lives in performance of their duties. |
W70 |
|
Kirk tells Spock that Mitchell didn't ask for what happened to him, and Spock offers an unexpected commentary: "I felt for him, too." With bittersweet satisfaction, Kirk replies, "I believe there's some hope for you after all, Mr. Spock." With the ordeal on Delta Vega over and its engines restored to full power, the Enterprise resumes its mission. |

Star Trek: The Motion Picture
"After the Enterprise's five-year mission, I accepted a promotion to admiral at Starfleet Headquarters on Earth. In hindsight, that was a mistake. I retook command of the Enterprise to confront V'ger, a deadly energy cloud headed toward Earth. I understood Captain Will Decker's anger, but my experience made me the right choice to lead the mission. Fortunately, Spock and McCoy also joined us. Together, we learned that V'ger was actually Voyager 6, an old Earth probe reprogrammed by living machines. Captain Decker gave up his life to help V'ger evolve, saving Earth in the process. — Captain Kirk |
M2 |
|
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
"I returned to the Enterprise merely to observe cadets on a training cruise, but Spock insisted that I take command when Khan embarked on his vendetta against me. During the conflict with Khan I was reunited with Carol, a woman from my past, and my son David, whom I hardly knew. I felt time catching up with me. The loss of Spock, who sacrificed himself to save the Enterprise, forced me to face death for the first time. In the end, though, reconciling with David and witnessing the birth of a new world helped me to feel young again." — Captain Kirk |
M3 |
|
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
"Spock's death felt like an open wound. When I learned that he had placed his katra in McCoy, I vowed to bring them both to Vulcan so both could find peace. My crew and I stole the Enterprise and traveled to the Genesis planet, where a Klingon ship attacked us. Commander Kruge killed David and tried to take the Enterprise, but I destroyed my ship and took his vessel. On Vulcan, after Spock's katra was returned to his reanimated body, he asked why I risked so much for him. The answer was simple: sometimes the needs of one outweigh the needs of the many." — Captain Kirk |
M4 |
|
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
"After three months on Vulcan, we headed home to face charges related to our theft of the Enterprise. However, an alien probe was wreaking havoc with Earth's weather, threatening all life on the planet. The probe communicated in whale song, so we traveled back in time to 20th Century San Francisco, retrieved a pair of humpback whales, and brought them back to our own time so they could answer the probe's call. In light of our actions that saved humanity from extinction, Starfleet dismissed the charges against my crew and reduced my rank to captain—a punishment I gladly accepted." — Captain Kirk |
M5 |
|
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
"I was on shore leave with Spock and McCoy in Yosemite National Park when we were called to address a hostage situation on Nimbus Ill. Spock's half-brother, Sybok, foiled our rescue attempt and took control of the Enterprise by exerting a strange power over my crew. He was on a quest to meet "god" on the planet Sha Ka Ree, beyond the Great Barrier of the Galaxy. Spock, McCoy and I accompanied Sybok to the planet's surface, where we met a malevolent entity that desperately wanted my ship. Sybok attacked the creature, giving his life so that we could escape." — Captain Kirk |
M6 |
|
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
"I resented Spock's decision to volunteer the Enterprise to escort Klingon Chancellor Gorkon to Earth for a peace conference. I didn't trust Klingons, and I could never forgive them for killing my son. I began to see things differently after a secret cabal of Federation and Klingon officials assassinated Gorkon. The Klingons arrested McCoy and me for the crime, but with Spock's help we escaped the Rura Penthe penal colony. Captain Sulu's Excelsior helped the Enterprise destroy General Chang's marauding bird-of-prey, and we exposed the plot in time to save the peace conference." — Captain Kirk |
M7 |
|
Star Trek Generations
"My presence aboard the Enterprise-B for her maiden voyage—not as her captain, but as an honored guest—was bittersweet. Then a destructive energy ribbon hit the ship, and I found myself in a fantasy world that Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise-D called a "temporal nexus." At first, I didn't want to hear about his dire mission to stop Soran or his exhortations to return with him to Verdian Ill. However, when I realized that nothing in the nexus mattered, I agreed to go with Picard. His mission sounded like fun…and I could make a difference again." — Captain Kirk |
