"Phil Boyce was right all the way. I was tired, and my self-pity almost caused a part of me to die. The Talosians at least knew they were dying as they tried to assure their survival by proxy through Vina, through me, through the children we would never have. Whatever his motives, the Keeper awakened my will fo fight. I realize now how meaningless my life would be without everything I get from commanding a starship. - Captain Pike |

"The human scientific community disputes the existence of telepathy and related psychic phenomena, long accepted as fact by Vulcans. As a Vulcan, well aware of such realities, I appreciate the Talosians' capabilities and the conceivable dangers they would pose in the hands of others. Since other races could learn these abilities, I agree completely with Captain Pike's recommendation that Starfleet classify all documents relating to Talos IV as 'top secret.'" - Mr Spock |

Where No Man Has Gone Before
"Gary's inclination was to be outlandish, to do the unexpected. He would never have made Captain — not that he wanted to. Too much responsibility, not enough fun. But I always remember Gary by the look in his eyes just before the end. We both knew his unspoken advice was correct. Gary had killed Lee Kelso, and now I had to kill Gary — kill my friend — to stop what he knew he had become." — Captain Kirk |

"At first, Captain Kirk believed I was being 'cold-blooded' in recommending that he kill Gary Mitchell. In reality, unlike Mr. Mitchell, my prime motivation is logic, not emotion. Perhaps this has some bearing on why the barrier's radiations did not affect me, despite my high ESP quotient. Considering the ultimate actions of Dr. Dehner, I also wonder if Mitchell could have stayed his mutation had he been a more disciplined individual" — Mr Spock |

Although she initially hoped they could be the first in a new line of superior humans, Elizabeth sacrificed herself to destroy Mitchell, thus saving the life of Captain Kirk. |

The Corbomite Maneuver
"Back at the Academy, the Kobayashi Maru exercise taught me there is no such thing as a no-win situation. There are always alternatives. Sometimes the choices are unorthodox, and anyone afraid of exploring those options would never be a Captain, could never be responsible for so many lives, could never indulge in sufficiently 'original thinking.' The more unpredictable those options are, the greater the advantages you can make for yourself." — Captain Kirk |

Mudd's Women
"When Harry Mudd first beamed aboard my ship, I wondered about his traveling companions. Mudd inspires instant speculation about his motives — suspicions that grow as you get to know him better. But wiving settlers' is an honorable practice, one that dates back to the days of my pioneer ancestors. It certainly benefited Ben Childress, a lonely miner whose new wife, Eve McHuron, intelligent and understanding as well as beautiful." — Captain Kirk |

Archaeologist Robert Crater left Earth in 2261 with his wife, Nancy, to study the ruins on planet M-113, where Nancy was killed by the last survivor of that planet's ancient civilization of shape-shifters.

This strange understanding ended with the deaths of both, shortly after the afrival of the Enterprise in 2266. |

In reality I give myself to my ship willingly, to be one of a chosen few–a starship Captain!'

"Had I dropped my guard for one moment during the chase, he would have had us, and there would have been a war. He knew that, too. Our training may have been similar, but what made us different was that our causes were different. I was fighting to stop a war, and he was fighting so his people could start one. And I won, war was post poned — and another good commander died."

Balance of Terror
"There are ancient legends that reveal how, while Vulcans were still warlike, factions of our people formed huge armadas and headed into deep space. It is ironic that although they succeeded in attaining discipline, their society depended not on peace, but on war and conquest. It would not surprise me if the Romulans, at some point, seek an alliance with the Klingons, thus compelling the Vulcans to fight against their brothers of long ago.

THE ROMULAN COMMANDER
This Romulan officer, name unknown, commanded the first Bird-of-Prey ship equipped with a cloaking device tested as a weapon against Starfleet. Sent into Federation space a century after the Earth-Romulan War, the Commander guided the mission to the best of his ability, although he knew and regretted that his success would assure another war. Before destroying his own vessel, the defeated Commander told Captain Kirk that under different circumstances they might have become friends. |

What are Little Girls Made Of?
"Was the technology of the Old Ones capable of transplanting a whole human being into an android body? In trying to stay alive, Dr. Korby discovered the answer and then denied it, manufacturing a machine woman to keep him company. But no amount of denial could hide the truth when he faced the woman he had loved, and realized that although the memory was still there — everything else was gone."

What are Little Girls Made Of?
"I must commend James Kirk for his ingenious technique in alerting me that his android double was not my Captain. By planting one inconsistent sentiment into his memories as they were duplicated, I was effectively apprised of Dr. Korby's conspiracy, and knew what steps I must take. Considering my encounter with the impostor, I sympathize with Nurse Chapel, since the Korby android was not a duplicate, but rather all that remained of the man."

RUK
Countless centuries ago, the Old Ones of planet Exo III built Ruk, a powerful and intelligent android, to tend their machines. When Dr. Roger Korby found the underground passages, Ruk was still fulfilling his function, although the Old Ones had long since perished. Recalling long-buried memories of how his kind had killed the Old Ones to assure their own survival, Ruk attacked Dr. Korby, who vaporized him. |

Dagger of the Mind
"It is not possible to describe or approximate the terrible experience of feeling… emptiness being forced into your mind, obscuring everything else. Knowledge, convictions, relationships become muted, distorted, and finally irretrievable. In all the universe, there is… nothing. If Dr. van Gelder — who had more experience in that machine than I did — had not destroyed the neural neutralizer and all of Dr. Adams' notes — I would have."

"Although I have melded with other races, other species, I was unprepared for the experience of sharing Dr. van Gelder's mind. The inhibitions imposed on him by the neural neutralizer were not present everywhere in his mind, and by entering those areas my consciousness was grasped most eagerly. As van Gelder sought to emerge from the prison of his own altered mind, he was most reluctant to permit my departure."

The Conscience of the King
"One reason for my wanting to be a starship Captain, to bring hope and order to worlds crippled by famine and war — was what Kodos the Executioner did on Tarsus IV.

Exposing Tom's murderer and seeing Kodos die — put that part of my life behind me at last."

The Kodos file was finally closed, and an insane murderer was taken out of circulation."

Sometime during her youth, the daughter of actor Anton Karidian was driven insane. She learned that her father was actually the fugitive Kodos, and had killed off thousands of colonists on Tarsus IV.

After a plague broke out on New Paris colony, Galactic High Commissioner Ferris supervised the delivery of medical supplies aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. En route, the starship encountered a phenomenon that Captain Kirk — over Ferris' objections — decided to investigate. A shuttle commanded by Spock crashed on a nearby planet. The crew, including some of Kirk's key officers, was rescued only because Kirk defied Ferris orders by heading away from the area at sub-ward speed. |

"Some all-powerful alien who thinks he's in Earth's 18th century had diverted my ship and terrorized my crew. The only thing real about him was his name. Everything else, all faked — the planet Gothos constructed by our weird host, a kind of doll house built on a cosmic scale. And Trelane? A youngster. A spoiled child belonging to some unknown, ancient race of energy-beings. Parents should watch their children more closely."

"An interesting experience, being held captive by a creature of such enormous power. Although he appeared to enjoy being opposed to some extent, he was also prone to moments of great agitation.

It was therefore imperative to retrieve the Captain as quickly as possible.

Although he had the advantage in agility, Captain Kirk was outmatched in strength and endurance. The Gorn, knowing this, sought only to find his quarry. Then I saw the weapon Jim needed.

THE GORN COMMANDER Captain Kirk had firsthand experience with the Gorn commander when both were forced into personal combat.

When Kirk and the Gorn commander communicated directly, it was the start of a process that ultimately produced a treaty between the two species. |

"To fully appreciate the degree of scientific stagnation on planet Beta III, one need only note the primitive technology in use and contrast it with the devices employed by the lawgivers.

"To prevent the destruction of their cities, the governments of Eminiar VII and Vendikar implemented a plan whereby loss of life was the only sacrifice.

I tried on the irritatingly-thick, eyeball-covering 'scleral' lenses before allowing the actors to wear them. The lenses gave actor Gary Lockwood great discomfort but Sally Kellerman easily popped hers in and out." |

Where No Man Has Gone Before
with D.C. FONTANA, series writer
"One of the more famous factual discrepancies occurred in this second pilot, because of a memory Lapse. Gary Mitchell created a tombstone for the Captain, engraved with the name James R. Kirk. A year later, when the series began filming, Gene Roddenberry established the name as 'James T. (for Tiberius) Kirk. When asked why Kirk's old friend Mitchell hadn't gotten Kirk's middle initial right in this scene, Roddenberry always replied, 'Mitchell only thought he was an infallible god." |

The Corbomite Maneuver

"Wearing a bald skullcap, child-actor Clint Howard played the 'real' Balok who used a grotesque puppet to frighten interlopers. The child bungled words meant for an adult so director Joseph Sargent had to film him, one line at a time. As originally planned, his dialog was revoiced' by adult actor Uic Perrin."

"After seeing seueral actors for the role of Balok, Gene Roddenberry said, 'I think if we cast anyone ouer the age of six, we're in trouble.' As a result, the final casting of the little alien went to Clint Howard, brother of Ron Howard. Ted Cassidy, who later played Ruk in the episode 'What Are Little Girls Made of?' provided the voice of Balok's puppet-like alter ego; and Uic Perrin who lafer portrayed Tharn in 'Mirror, Mirror,' added the voice-over for Howard, giving the youthful alien an adult demeanor." |

The Enemy Within

"While William Shaner had developed Kirk's talent for martial arts in fight sequences, Leonard Nimoy wanted something more suitable and non-violent for Spock. The script called for Spock to subdue the evil Kirk by hitting him and knocking him unconscious. Nimoy had heard about a way someone could be rendered unconscious by applying pressure in the neck area. He proposed using it here, and the Vulcan nerve pinch was born. In scripts, it was referred to as the 'FSNP' or 'Famous Spock Neck Pinch." |

Charlie X
with D.C. FONTANA, series writer
"This episode sprang from a story idea Gene Roddenberry included in an early draft of the STAR TREK 'bible.'

Thus he banished Janice Rand to an unknown point in space, turned a young woman into an old crone, made a laughing woman faceless, and broke Spock's legs. Although in his twenties at the time, Robert Walker, Jr. played the eighteen-year-old Charlie." |

Balance of Terror
with BOB JUSTMAN, associate producer
"In April, 1966, I attended a meeting in which writer Paul Schneider 'pitched' some story ideas to Gene Roddenberry which, unfortunately, resembled shows we already had in work. So Gene, who very much wanted this author to write for us, suggested that Paul write a cat and mouse contest between the Enterprise and a Romulan 'Bird of Prey' that used a 'cloaking device' to conceal itself. Gene's idea resulted in yet another Star Trek example of life imitating art, e.g. today's stealth bomber." |

Balance of Terror
with D.C. FONTANA, series writer
"The Romulan Bird of Prey was seen very little in this episode, although its presence was enormous. The script cleverly gave the Romulans a cloaking device which hid their ship from view most of the time. The model itself was primitive, since there was no time to build a detailed prototype. The basic shape was turned out on a lathe in the wood shop. Art director Matt Jefferies designed its warbird paint, inspired by nose art of the World War II Army Air Corps bombers in which Matt flew as co-pilot." |

Dagger of the Mind

"This episode initiated the 'Vulcan mind meld,' suggested by producer Gene Coon.

This was not only a useful character facet for Spock, but it set limitations on use of the gimmick. If Spock had been willing 'to reach out and touch someone' at any time, a great deal of plot in other episodes would have been too easily resolved." |

It was established at other times that he was born on Earth, but clearly Kirk grew up on at least one other planet.

Scheduling did not allow the sequel to happen, so 'Tomorrow Is Yesterday' became a stand-alone episode. Written in the summer of 1966, this script called for the first manned moon shot 'from Cape Kennedy next Wednesday at 6:00 AM EST.' Apollo 11 launched from Cape Kennedy on a Wednesday three years later, very close to the time specified in the script." |

The Return of the Archons
with BOB JUSTMAN, associate producer
"Boris Sobelman's story described Landru as a robot until my August 23, 1966 memo suggested: 'Supposing that Landru turns out to be the computer that controls the civilization.' I later wrote: 'The idea that each individual is one cell of the complete organism is really a very original and daring conception…. Boris needs a big pat on the back for this idea."
"I had dancers portray the Beta III inhabitants who walked rhythmically, as if in a spell, until 'Red Hour' when they cast aside their inhibitions to party, party, party!" |

The Return of the Archons
with D.C. FONTANA, series writer
"Beta III inhabitants released their pent-up urges in violent outbreaks at the Red Hour of six o'clock. At that time, the cry went up of 'Festival! Festival!' and the citizens went on a rampage. In real life, this became a catch phrase for a party. It was Gene Roddenberry's practice to stage celebrations on the set or in the office for anyone who had a birthday while the show was shooting. 'Festival!' meant a party was on affer work was finished for the day." |

"This show, episode number 23, was also the 23rd to be aired and was broadcast on February 23rd, 1967. Some might find significance in these facts. Personally, I don't. And, this is the 23rd time l've had to say it!" |

A Taste of Armageddon
with D.C. FONTANA, series writer
"Cinematographer Jerry Finnerman liked to paint with light. Most of Star Trek's sets, shipboard and planets, were painted with a soft, neutral gray. Finnerman worked with colored gels and strategically placed lights to bring color to specific parts of the set to add interest and mood. The sets in this episode demonstrate this technique. While some doors and a few panels on walls of Eminiar VII are painted with pastel tones, all other splashes of interesting color have been done with lights and gels." |

Space Seed
with BOB JUSTMAN, associate producer
"Although Gene Coon and writer Carey Wilbur shared script credit, Gene Roddenberry, under great pressure, completely rewrote the teleplay in one night, a feat that I found incredible.' We began filming it two days later."
"Little did we know, when we had Kirk send Khan to colonize a planet instead of facing punishment, that this new space seed we had planted would result, fifteen years later, in the feature film 'Star Trek Il: The Wrath Of Khan.'" |

Space Seed
with D.C. FONTANA, series writer
"Bill Theiss' costumes in this episode were so revealing NBC's Broadcast Standards Department ordered shots of Khan's people cut almost entirely from the episode. The one sequence allowed showed Botany Bay survivors exercising after being awakened from their long sleep. The dialogue in the scene was necessary to the story and had to be left in. Even in that one scene, the costumes on the women were extremely scanty and almost entirely glued in place - but overall tastefully covered by a kind of golden fishnet material." |

This Side of Paradise

"Spock in love! Jill Ireland, who played Spock's love interest, Leila Kalomi, was the wife of actor Charles Bronson."
"Science fiction writer Jerry Sohl used his pseudonym, Nathan Butler, for this story which had numerous titles: first, 'Sandoval's Planet,' then 'Power Play' (which occasioned a nine page, single-spaced memo from me), then 'The Way Of The Spores,' and, finally. 'This Side Of Paradise.'" |

This Side of Paradise
with D.C. FONTANA, series writer
"The spore-shooting plants presented problems because they not only had to look alien and exotic, but also had to shoot their infectious seeds with enough force to cover the nearby actors examining them. The apparatus worked well enough, but not realistically. The plant bulbs that ejected the spores had to be large and round to expel the confetti-like 'seeds,' and the flowers looked weird and not at all natural. Happily, the actors carried off the effect so the audience could believe the infection took hold." |

The Devil in the Dark
with D.C. FONTANA, series writer
"Janos Prohaska, one of the most prolific 'creature' men in Hollywood, created the Horta. Gene Coon, Gene Roddenberry and I watched one day as Janos unloaded a bulky, blobby orange and brown 'thing' outside our office. He laid a rubber chicken in front of it, then climbed underneath the creature and made it wriggle and hunch before scooting forward over the chicken. The creature went a few more feet ahead - and left a trail of chicken bones behind. I have to do something with that,' laughed Coon." |

with BOB JUSTMAN, associate producer
"In a laudatory script memo, I entreated writer-producer Gene Coon to '…make sure you never run dry. Just keep those new stories and scripts of yours coming in every other day and we'll be able to make our season without too much strain.'"
"Although Gene Coon actually created the Klingons, ex-cop Gene Roddenberry named them after an LAPD officer with whom he had once worked. I still don't know whether he intended to honor the man… or disparage him." |

Errand of Mercy
with D.C. FONTANA, series writer
"This episode introduced the Klingons, aliens who ultimately became Star Trek's most utilized villains. Their frequent appearances after this episode weren't because the Klingons were such fascinating characters - it was a matter of necessity. Klingon makeup was easy to apply! Facial hair and makeup for a dark, swarthy skin took relatively little time. The Klingon makeup that grew out of the more recent feature films was a matter of having enough time, budget and more advanced makeup techniques." |

The City on the Edge of Forever
with BOB JUSTMAN, associate producer
"'City' had a long gestation. After months of tardy deliveries by writer Harlan Ellison, numerous staff-written revisions, and a last minute rewrite by Gene Roddenberry, it began filming February 3, 1967 and was telecast April 6, 1967, more than a year after the original March 16, 1966 story assignment. Incensed at changes made to his script, Harlan elected to use his pseudonym, 'Cordwainer Bird,' but Gene Roddenberry convinced him to change his mind. However, Harlan had the last laugh because his original unrevised teleplay won the 1967 Writers Guild award." |

The City on the Edge of Forever
with D.C. FONTANA, series writer
"There is a reference error inserted by Gene Roddenberry in this script. Edith Keeler specifically refers to the year as being 1930. Later on, she tells Kirk she wants to see a Clark Gable movie. Gable had appeared in tiny roles in silent films at the beginning of his career, but didn't have a starring role until the late 1930s. The research firm of DeForest Research informed Roddenberry of his error, but he felt the audience would understand the reference and wouldn't worry about the incorrect date." |

with BOB JUSTMAN, associate producer
"This was the only episode for which script consultant Steven W. Carabatsos received sole writing credit although he did share credit with Don M. Mankiewicz for 'Court Martial.'"
"The creatures, created by Wah Chang, were suspended from wires and swung at their actor targets, an inaccurate process at best. These latex gizmos were called 'flying pancakes' by the cast and crew." |

Operation: Annihilate!
with D.C. FONTANA, series writer
"The alien parasites created problems for our prop department since the creatures had to fly. They were made of rubber and chunks of 'stuff' to provide texture, poured freeform fo give them uneven, stringy edges. Once hardened, they were mounted on fishline and strung from poles not seen on camera. The special effects men moved them around like fly fishermen, unintentionally causing laughs when the 'parasites' smacked people in their ends or in their heads instead of between their shoulder blades as required by the script." |
