Spectre of the Gun
Stardate 4385.3:
The Enterprise is assigned to make peaceful contact with the Melkotians. In spite of a message buoy warning them off, Kirk and a landing party beam down to the planet. As punishment for this act, Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty and Chekov are dispatched to a distorted simulation of the Wild West town of Tombstone, Arizona. Here, they are set up to be on the losing side of the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral. And despite all Kirk's protests to the contrary, the local townsfolk believe them to be the Clanton gang.
"What can I do, Captain? You know we're always supposed to maintain good relations with the natives."

Spectre of the Gun
Stardate 4385.4:
Kirk and the landing party are trapped in Tombstone and look for ways to avoid the showdown at the O.K. Corral. Negotiating with the Earps is ineffective, and even the town sheriff encourages the gunfight. Chekov, a.k.a. Billy Claiborne, is shot dead, even though the historical Claiborne survived the skirmish. A tranquilizer gas concocted by McCoy is the last chance to change the course of events.
"It's to kill the pain." - Scotty, downing a shot of bourbon before testing the sleep gas.
"But this is painless." - Mr. Spock
"You should have warned me sooner, Mr. Spock."

Spectre of the Gun
Stardate 4385.6:
History and basic chemistry are not as they should be in the Melkotian recreation of Tombstone. Spock deduces that everything is an illusion, and mind melds with the landing party to ensure that they, too, can reject the Earps' bullets as specters, phantoms of reality. The shootout at the O.K. Corral fails to kill Kirk and his people. Impressed that the captain refuses to kill his enemy in the scenario, the Melkotians invite him to open diplomatic discussions.
"We're just human beings, Spock. We don't have that clockwork ticker in our heads like you do. We can't just turn it on and off." - Dr. McCoy |

Elaan of Troyius
Stardate 4372.5:
The Dohlman of Elas, a warlike beauty named Elaan, is aboard the Enterprise en route to Troyius. There, she is to marry the leader of that world in an effort to create peace between their two planets. Elaan wants none of it, and stabs the Troyian ambassador, who was to teach her civilized manners. When Kirk is forced to step in as her instructor, the Dohlman binds him to her with her tears which are actually a powerful biochemical agent.
"Mr. Spock, the women on your planet are logical. That's the only planet in this galaxy that can make that claim."
- Capt. Kirk

Elaan of Troyius
Stardate 4372.6:
Kryton, one of Elaan's bodyguards, proves to be in league with the Klingons and sabotages the warp drive of the Enterprise. The attempt to destroy the ship fails, but the dilithium crystals are fused, rendering the Enterprise virtually helpless. During the Klingon attack, Kirk is distracted by his feelings for Elaan, emotions that the Dolman has deliberately roused in order to influence the commander of the powerful starship for her own purposes.
"It is of little value. They are common stones." - Elaan, referring to the gems in her necklace.
"Common stones… Mr. Spock, do you think Scotty could make use of dilithium crystals?" - Capt. Kirk

Elaan of Troyius
Stardate 4372.7:
The reason behind the Klingon attack on the Enterprise becomes clear when it is discovered that dilithium crystals are regarded as common stones in Elaan's planetary system. The starship's warp engines are re-supplied with crystals from the Dolman's wedding necklace, and the Enterprise fights the Klingons into a forced retreat. The battle to save his ship releases Kirk from Elaan's thrall, and she concedes her loss with reluctant grace.
"The antidote to a woman of Elas, Doctor, is a starship. The Enterprise infected the captain long before the Dohlman did."

The Paradise Syndrome
Stardate 4842.6:
Kirk, Spock and McCoy beam down to a peaceful, Earthlike planet and discover it to be a virtual paradise. But it is an Eden threatened by a giant asteroid. While investigating a strange obelisk on his own, Kirk falls victim to an alien beam inside the structure that erases his memory. Spock and McCoy are forced to abandon their search for him in order to take the Enterprise to the point in space where the asteroid can be deflected away from its collision course toward the planet. Unfortunately, their attempts fail, and the Enterprise engines are damaged.
"My bairns. My poor bairns."

The Paradise Syndrome
Stardate 4890.0:
Kirk loses his memory and adopts the identity of Kirok, medicine chief of an American Indian tribe living on a world half a galaxy away from Earth. He marries the temple priestess, Miramanee, and leads an idyllic life. But the massive asteroid, which the Enterprise has failed to destroy, threatens to collide with the planet. Kirk cannot get back into the temple — actually a powerful deflector — to activate the "blue flame" spirit. Lead by the jealous former medicine chief, Salish, the fearful tribespeople stone Kirok for his failure to help them.
"I am Kirok!"
- Capt. Kirk |

The Paradise Syndrome
Stardate 4900.1:
For two months the damaged Enterprise retreats in front of the asteroid, and Spock works to decipher the symbols found on the obelisk. He finally breaks the code: they are musical notes. Armed with this knowledge, Spock and McCoy beam back down to the planet. There, they find an injured and amnesiac Kirk. Spock uses the Vulcan mind meld to restore the captain's memory, and they are successful in activating the obelisk to deflect the asteroid from the planet. The only casualty is Kirk's wife, Miramanee, and their unborn child.
"His mind… he is… an entremely dynamic individual."
- Mr. Spock breaking the mind meld with Capt. Kirk |

The Enterprise Incident
Stardate 5027.3:
Captain Kirk orders the Enterprise across the Neutral Zone and into Romulan space. There, the starship is quickly surrounded by three Romulan battle cruisers. There seems to be no reason why Kirk would take such action, unless it is for the purpose of espionage. The Romulan commander charges the captain with spying. But testimony from Spock provides another explanation — that Kirk has become emotionally unstable. The captain angrily denounces Spock and vows to kill him, thus convincing the Romulans that Kirk is not fit to command.
"I say now, and for the record, that Captain Kirk ordered the Enterprise across the Neutral Zone on his own initiative and his craving for glory— He is not sane." - Mr. Spock |

Stardate 5027.4:
Captain Kirk is declared irrational by the Romulan commander, and she gives Spock command of the Enterprise. While being held in the Romulan brig, a suddenly volatile Kirk attacks his traitorous first officer. Spock uses the Vulcan death grip and kills the captain. McCoy is permitted to take the body back to the Enterprise, where he revives Kirk. The captain and Spock are acting under Federation orders to infiltrate the Romulan flagship and appropriate the new cloaking device. Kirk's insanity, and Spock's defection, are a ruse.
"I was unprepared for his attack. I instinctively used the Vulcan death grip." - Mr. Spock
"Well your instincts are still good, Mr. Spock. The captain is dead." - Dr. McCoy |

Kirk is surgically altered to look like a Romulan and beams aboard the enemy flagship. He locates the cloaking device and removes it, while Spock distracts the commander in her quarters. Both are surprised to find themselves responding to each other on a deep and personal level. Even after Spock's subterfuge is revealed, and his death mandated, the Romulan commander follows him in his successful escape to the Enterprise. There, they agree to keep what passed between them a secret, for only the two of them to share.
"Military secrets are the [most] fleeting of all"

And the Children Shall Lead
Stardate 5029.5:
Kirk, Spock and McCoy beam down to the planet Triacus to find the entire scientific team stationed there has committed mass suicide. Only their children have survived, and they are strangely unaffected by the deaths of their parents. The five children are taken aboard the Enterprise, where they use a special chant to call up an alien spirit from the planet. It tells them to make sure the crew takes them to Marcos XII, which the youngsters do by means of a special, mind-influencing power.
"Hail, hail, fire and snow. Call the angel, we will go. Far away, for to see, Friendly Angel, come to me."
- Children's Chant |

And the Children Shall Lead
Stardate 5029.6:
The children brought aboard the Enterprise after the deaths of their parents on Triacus are causing the crew to see and do things they normally would not. Sulu is forced to watch daggers flying toward him through space, and Uhura faces a vision of a protracted death. The illusions keep them, and other crew members, from working the ship's controls. An evil entity called the Gorgan is using the children to take control of the Enterprise and transport him to the Federation settlement on Marcos XII.
"Evil does seek to maintain power by suppressing the truth…" - Mr. Spock

Kirk attempts to regain control of the Enterprise and turn it from its course toward Marcos XII. There are millions of people on that planet in danger of falling victim to the evil Gorgan that has taken over the starship. Under the influence of the so-called Friendly Angel, the children make Kirk believe he has lost the capacity to command. But the captain fights past the fear, and defeats it. He shows the children the true face of the Gorgan, and they reject him. Without their support, the entity vanishes.
"If resistance mounts, call upon their beasts…. The fear in each one of them is the beast which will consume him." - the Gorgan |

Spock's Brain
Stardate 5431.4:
A ship of unknown design and origin beams a silent, smiling woman onto the bridge of the Enterprise. She immediately renders the entire crew unconscious. When they awaken, McCoy discovers Spock lying on a diagnostic table, with the Vulcan's brain removed. Kirk follows the trail of the woman's ship to the Sigma Draconis system, where he must determine on which of three class-M planets Spock's brain might be located. And he must do so within twenty-four hours, or Spock will die.
"Then we'll have to take him with us." - Capt. Kirk
"Take… take him where?" - Dr. McCoy
"In search of his brain, doctor.'
- Capt. Kirk |

Spock's Brain
Stardate 5431.6:
Kirk, McCoy and Scotty take the brainless, mechanized body of Spock to Sigma Draconis VI, where they find an underground society deep below the surface of the glaciated planet. The subterranean environment is populated only by women, and is maintained by a sophisticated computer system called the "Controller". The women, called Eymorg, have no knowledge of the technology that sustains them. Kirk finds this hard to believe, since he recognizes their leader, Kara, as the woman who was aboard the Enterprise and stole Spock's brain.
"Brain and brain! What is brain?"
- Kara |

Spock's Brain
Stardate 5432.3:
Spock's stolen brain is found to be the functional hub of an advanced computer and environmental system controlling life-support and other functions of an underground habitat. The only way to restore the Vulcan's brain to his body is by using the same surgical techniques employed to remove it. To accomplish this, McCoy puts on the "Teacher", a vast storehouse of knowledge. The skills it imparts to the doctor are temporary, however, and McCoy must call upon Spock's own brain to complete the operation.
"I should never have reconnected his mouth."

Is There In Truth No Beauty?
Stardate 5630.8:
The Enterprise lies derelict in space, in a completely unknown void. Without any stellar reference points, there is no way to navigate the starship back to its own galaxy. Spock suggests that the noncorporeal Medusan has the ability to pilot the ship though the disorienting energy field, and volunteers to mind link with the ambassador. Miranda Jones objects, jealous of Spock intruding on the rapport she shares with Kollos. But the ambassador's wishes prevail, and Spock successfully joins minds with the Medusan.
"The glory of creation is in its infinite diversity."

Distracted by the sensations, he neglects to have Spock put on the protective visor. The Vulcan sees the Medusan and goes dangerously mad. Kirk convinces Miranda to put aside her jealousy and help pull Spock out of the mental abyss. With her formidable telepathic abities and Vulcan -trained disciplines, she does so, and saves Spock from a lifetime of dementia.

Stardate 5630.7:
Kollos, the Medusan ambassador to the Federation, is aboard the Enterprise on the journey back to his home world. Although members of his race have no form, they are regarded as being so ugly that the sight of them drives a human insane. During an attempt to murder Kollos, Larry Marvik, one of the original designers of the Enterprise sees the Medusan. Severe delirium results, and Marvik takes control of the Enterprise, sending it beyond the rim of the known galaxy in an attempt to escape a delusional threat.

McCoy is subjected to near-fatal torture, and Gem hesitates to heal him. Kirk, Spock and the Vians watch as she begins to take his injuries onto herself, then pulls back in fear. The Vians see this as failure, but Kirk observes that it is a failure only on the part of the Vians, not Gem. He says that they have lost the capacity to feel the very compassion they hoped to instill in Gem. The Vians are convinced that Gem and her people are indeed worthy of being saved. Kirk, Spock and McCoy return to the Enterprise and depart the Minaran system.

The Enterprise finds the missing Federation starship Defiant adrift in an uncharted sector of space, and further investigation shows that the crew killed one another. While Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Chekov are aboard the Defiant, the ship begins to "dissolve" around them as it slips into a parallel dimension. All but Kirk are safely beamed back to the Enterprise, and the captain disappears along with the Defiant. Athough Spock calculates the next period of dimensional overlap and prepares to rescue Kirk, the appearance of a Tholian ship disturbs the phenomenon. The captain remains trapped in interspace.

A second Tholian vessel arrives, and the two begin to weave an energy web around the starship. Meanwhile, the unstable nature of that area of space begins to affect the nervous systems of the Enterprise crew, causing violent outbursts. Kirk is declared dead, and Spock takes command of the ship, which causes McCoy extreme irritation. Spock and McCoy are in conflict, until they play the message tape of Kirk's last orders.
"If you get us out of this situation, they'll pin a medal on your chest and give you command of the Enterprise." - Dr. McCoy

The Tholian Web
Stardate 5693.5:
The Tholians are close to completing their energy web around the Enterprise. McCoy discovers that a diluted derivative of the Klingon nerve gas, theragen, is effective in combating the mania caused by exposure to the spatial interphase. Spock is successful in using a period of dimensional overlap to throw the Enterprise clear of the Tholians' web and the phantom-like Kirk along with them. The captain is beamed aboard the Enterprise just before the oxygen supply in his environmental suit gives out.
"And in this derivative, mined with alcohol, it merely deadens certain nerve inputs to the brain." -Dr. McCoy, speaking of the theragen cure
"Oh, well, any decent brand of Scotch will do that." - Scotty |

For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky
Stardate 5476.3
The Enterprise neutralizes an attack by several atomic missiles, then traces them back to their source — a giant asteroid/ spaceship. It is called Yonada, and living inside are the descendants of the Fabrini civilization. However, they have no idea their world is hollow, let alone on a collision course with Daran V. The high priestess, Natira, is suspicious of Kirk and Spock, but falls in love with McCoy at first sight. The doctor returns her affections, enough so that he chooses to remain on the doomed ship and marry her.
"Does McCoy find me attractive?" - Natira

Kirk and Spock beam back aboard the Enterprise, leaving McCoy behind on the asteroid ship. He has been diagnosed with only a year to live, and he elects to live it with Natira on Yonada. He is the only one on the hollow world who knows it must be destroyed before it collides with an inhabited planet. When McCoy is shown the Book of the People, which is to be opened only when the new, promised world is reached, he realizes it must contain flight control information. His efforts to communicate this to Kirk result in a painful warning from the Oracle computer which controls Yonada.
"Bones, this isn't a planet, it's a spaceship -on a collision course with Daran V." - Capt. Kirk
"I'm on a kind of a collision course myself, Jim." - Dr. McCoy |

Natira also suffers the Oracle's warnings when she listens to Kirk's revelations about the true nature of her world. Spock and the captain access the Book of the People and circumvent the Oracle computer. They then make course corrections, allowing Yonada to avoid Daran V and reach its predetermined destination. A cure for McCoys illness is found in the Fabrini medical archives, and he returns to duty on the Enterprise. Natira remains with her people, to guide them when they reach the promised world.

The Enterprise intercepts a Federation shuttle craft, which has been stolen by an alien the likes of which they have never seen before. One half of his face is black, and the other half is white. McCoy is about to enter him into the medical records as a rare genetic mutation when a second member of his species appears. The two are named Bele and Lokai, and they are bitter enemies. Bele is intent on taking Lokai back to their home world of Cheron — so much so that he diverts the Enterprise from its urgent mission to plague-stricken Ariannus.

The Enterprise proceeds on its mission to decontaminate the planet Ariannus. Meanwhile, Lokai attempts to sway members of the crew to his cause — to free his people from oppression. He insists that he fights a radical, racial prejudice on Cheron. Bele, on the other hand, makes no secret of his hatred of Lokai, whom he considers an inferior breed.

The Mark of Gideon
Stardate 5423.4:
Kirk beams down to Gideon at the special request of the planet's ruling council, but never arrives in their chambers. Instead, he materializes on an empty Enterprise. He cannot understand where his crew went, and Spock cannot determine where the captain went. The Gideon council will not allow anyone else to beam down to the planet to search for Kirk, and Spock finds Starfleet Command just as reluctant to give permission.
"We must acknowledge, once and for all, that the purpose of diplomacy is to prolong a crisis."- Mr. Spock |

The Mark of Gideon
Stardate 5423.6:
Spock pursues diplomatic channels for permission to beam down to Gideon and search for Kirk. Meanwhile, the captain finds he is not alone on the empty Enterprise — there is also a woman named Odona. She cannot say where she is from or how she got there, but she does reveal that her home is immensely crowded and that her people would willingly die to find a place alone like this. Later, Kirk and Odona are shocked to momentarily glimpse a dense crowd of people pressed against a viewing port, even though the ship is supposedly in space.
"Diplomats and bureaucrats may function differently, but they achieve the same results." - Mr. Spock |

He realizes it is an exact duplicate of the starship, and conducts a search for the captain. Kirk is with Odona, who is dying from Vegan choriomeningitis she has deliberately contracted from him. She is acting for the people of Gideon, where death is rare and the planet is critically overpopulated. McCoy cures her illness but Odona now has the ability to spread the disease herself. It is the first step on the road of recovery for Gideon.

Stardate 5725.4:
Mira Romaine sees things she cannot explain. She and Scotty assume it is merely a touch of space sickness, and do not report it. Later, the energy phenomenon returns to Memory Alpha and pursues the Enterprise. Spock discovers that the phenomenon is actually a community of at least ten distinct life units. A phaser blast directed into the heart of the collection seriously injures Romaine, suggesting she is somehow connected to them. Indeed, her brain wave patterns are beginning to match that of the community's.

The Cloud Minders
Stardate 5818.4:
Kirk and Spock beam down to the surface of Ardana to collect a consignment of zenite, and are attacked by Troglyte miners — rebels in a cause for social equality with the Stratos cloud city dwellers. While on Stratos, Spock is drawn to Droxine, the daughter of the High Adviser, and Kirk is set upon by Vanna, a Troglyte leader. The High Adviser, Plasus, tortures Vanna to gain information about the rebels. Kirk protests the treatment, and is told flatly not to interfere.
"Violence in reality is quite different from theory." - Mr. Spock |

The Cloud Minders
Stardate 5819.0:
Kirk becomes involved in the Troglyte dispute with the Stratos city dwellers in order to find the zenite consignment. McCoy discovers that the raw mineral produces a gas which causes mental retardation and violent tendencies in anyone exposed to it. Plasus discounts the findings as absurd, firm in his belief that the Troglytes are naturally inferior to city dwellers. Even the Troglyte leader, Vanna, finds the idea hard to believe. She lures Kirk back down to the mines, where he is held hostage by the rebels.
"Gas from zenite? It's hard to beleve that something which is neither seen nor felt can do so much harm." - Vanna
"That's true, but an idea can't be seen or felt. And that's what's kept the Troglytes in the mines all these centuries. A mistaken idea'." - Capt. Kirk |

The Enterprise intercepts the stolen space cruiser Aurora, and takes into custody a group of young idealistic rebels led by former scientist Dr. Sevrin. They claim to be searching for a planet called Eden. Among their number is the son of the Catullan ambassador, and Irina Galliulin, a young woman who attended Starfleet Academy with Chekov. The group rejects Kirk, as he represents Federation authority, but is receptive to Spock, who is familiar with their ideals and speaks their slang.

Requiem for Methuselah
Stardate 5843.7:
A virulent disease spreads among the crew of the Enterprise, and the only known antidote is [ryetalyn]. Kirk, Spock and McCoy beam down to Holberg 917G in search of the substance, and encounter a man named Flint. At first he is hostile toward the landing party, then offers to help them collect and process the [ryetalyn]. In his home, they find many uncatalogued and unknown works of art by Da Vinci, Brahms and others. They are also introduced to Rayna Kapec, with whom Kirk swiftly falls in love.
"What is lonliness?" - Vanna

In Flint's home, Spock discovers a Brahms waltz written in the maestro's hand, but with modern ink, and paintings by Da Vinci executed in modern oils. Kirk becomes impatient and searches Flint's lab for the [ryetalyn]. He finds it — and a row of deactivated Rayna androids.

In orbit above a molten and uninhabitable planet, the Enterprise is confronted with the image of Abraham Lincoln floating in space before them. Kirk welcomes him aboard with full presidential honors. McCoy and Scotty doubt that this is the real Lincoln, and object when Kirk and Spock accept his invitation to beam down to the planet. An Earth-like area forms on the surface, and here they meet Surak, the historical "father" of Vulcan society.
"President Lincoln, indeed! No doubt to be followed by Louis of France and Robert the Bruce." - Scotty |

The Savage Curtain
Stardate 5906.5:
Kirk and Spock are forced to participate in a "spectacle" for the benefit of the planet's native life-forms — living rock creatures called Excalbians. Kirk, Spock, Lincoln and Surak are pitted against the villainous Kahless, Colonel Green, Genghis Kahn and Zora. The purpose is to demonstrate the concepts of good and evil. Kirk refuses to engage in the battle, but the Excalbians threaten the Enterprise with destruction which forces the captain to comply.
"Your ship will blow itself to bits within four hours, Captain, unless you defeat the others before then. Is that cause enough to fight for?" - Excalbian |

Stardate 5906.6:
The curtain goes up on the Excalbian drama of good vs. evil. Surak is killed while trying to negotiate peace, and Lincoln dies trying to save him. Kirk and Spock are forced to fight the four villains, and successfully defeat them. The Excalbian expresses disappointment with the outcome. He observes that good and evil use the same methods to attain their goals. But Kirk points out that Green and the others fought for personal power, while the captain fought for the lives of his crew. Kirk and Spock are returned to the Enterprise with no further incident.

Stardate 5928.5:
The Enterprise arrives at Camus II to aid an archaeological team suffering from radiation exposure. The landing party finds only two survivors — Dr. Janice Lester and Dr. Coleman. Kirk is attacked by Lester and subjected to an alien life-force transfer device. His mind is trapped inside Lester's body. Lester takes over the captain's body, and assumes command of the Enterprise.
"Your world of starship captains doesn't admit women. It isn't fair." - Janice Lester
"No, it isn't. And you
punished and tortured me because of it." - Capt. Kirk |

Janice Lester's mind inhabits Kirk's body, but her unstable emotional state arouses suspicion in McCoy and Spock. McCoy runs a physical exam on Kirk, while Spock interviews Lester. A Vulcan mind meld convinces Spock that Kirk's mind is indeed trapped in Lester's body, and he opposes the captain. Kirk orders court-martial proceedings against Spock, the act of which alone creates suspicion and concern among the crew.
"You are not Captain Kirk… You do not belong in charge of the Enterprise, and I shall do everything in my power against you." - Mr. Spock |

Lester's mind inhabits Kirk's body, and the only way to make it permanent is to kill Lester — while Kirk's mind is trapped inside. But the crew refuses to obey Kirk's orders. Spock telepathically helps initiate the reversal of the mind exchange. Lester returns to her own body, and Kirk to his.

Spectre of the Gun
"The gunfight at the O.K. Corral was always a stirring tale for me, until I was actually transported there with my landing party. And we were cast in the role of the 'bad guys'. Shoot outs and showdowns are fine when they're adventures in the history books, but human civilization has come a long way since those violent times. I'm glad I could prove that to the Melkotians. Now, they believe the hand I extend in peace doesn't have a symbolic six-gun in it."

Spectre of the Gun
"Past experience has proven to me that telepathic races can be formidable, and such was the case with the Melkotians. Their representation of the 19th century Earth town of Tombstone was crude and distorted, but the setting was secondary to the situation in which they placed us — forced participation in a fatal conflict known as a 'shoot-out'. However, there were flaws in the Melkotian construction, and a logical examination of them provided the means of our escape."

CHEKOV
Ensign Pavel Chekov spent his first tour of duty aboard the Enterprise as its navigator, and often assisted Mr. Spock at the science station on the bridge. His sense of humor expressed itself in ongoing boasts of Russian achievements, while his youthful good looks made him popular with the ladies. Even though he was an ensign, Chekov frequently accompanied Captain Kirk on landing party missions, which gave him invaluable first-hand knowledge of many alien species. |

Elaan of Troyius
"For a woman who is the Dohlman of an entire planet, Elaan behaved like a spoiled child. When I told her that her warrior culture should have taught her some discipline, she threw a knife at my back. It was a mistake to let my guard down then, and a mistake when I felt sorry for her when she cried. Her strategy was simple — she knew her tears would give her control over me. She must have thought if you can't beat them, make them join you'. And I almost did. But Elaan's hold on me was broken by another lady — named Enterprise."

Elaan of Troyius
"From a medical standpoint, the biochemistry of Elasian women's tears was an interesting curiosity. I mean, here was a scientific basis for a good, old-fashioned love potion. Unfortunately, my casual study turned serious when Jim was infected by Elaan. Nurse Chapel and I tested hundreds of chemical combinations trying to find the antidote. And when we finally found something that could work, wouldn't you know that Jim had already found his own cure — the Enterprise. I guess not even Elasian tears could beat that competition."

The Paradise Syndrome
"The moment I stepped onto Miramanee's planet, I knew it was a place where someone could forget all their troubles and live without a care. Bones called it the Tahiti Syndrome, common to over-pressured leader types, like starship captains. Well, I forgot my worries all right — and everything else when I got hit by an alien memory beam inside the obelisk I was investigating. After that, I lead a different life — no command decisions, only day after day of uncomplicated happiness. It may have been temporary, but I'll never forget it."

"Under other circumstances, the extended study I made of the symbols found on the obelisk would have been most stimulating. However, it was imperative at the time to decipher their meaning in order to save a planet from destruction, and to do so while the Enterprise paced the asteroid which was on a collision course with that world. Only when I stopped looking at the hieroglyphs as written language did I recognizes them as musical notes. This was the key necessary to unlock the obelisk and activate its deflector beam."

According to the traditions of her tribe, the tribal Priestess always wed the Medicine Chief, and Miramanee was content with her betrothal to Salish — until she beheld Kirok. And even though he was a god, they delighted in one another as a man and a woman. Miramanee loved Kirk's strange inventions of the lamp and irrigation, and was concerned for him when he had the dreams of the lodge in the sky.

"I have faced many threats to the Enterprise before, but not from within myself. While he was under the influence of the Gorgan, Tommy Starnes made me think I was incapable of commanding my own starship. That fear nearly paralyzed me.

"The captain made an interesting statement during our discussion of the long-dead civilization on Triacus. Legend held that the 'spirit' of the destroyed marauders would one day rise up again to spread their evil across the galaxy. Captain Kirk observed that most legends have their basis in fact, and postulated that the Gorgan was a proof of that. It could, in fact, be argued that the noncorporeal life form from Triacus was an example of that 'spirit'. It was, indeed, set upon marauding across the planet of Marcos XII at the very least."

GORGAN
The Gorgan was a noncorporeal life-form discovered on the planet Triacus by the Starnes Expedition. The entity killed the adult members of the team and held their children under its influence, inducing them to take over control of the Enterprise by using special powers to bring out the crew's worst fears.

"The men living on the harsh surface of Sigma Draconis VI called the women living below the 'givers of pain and delight', and I had a chance to experience both those aspects. Apparently, the only way the women knew to control the men they brought down from up above to serve them was by using pain giving devices. But now that the Controller is gone and the women have rejoined the male population on the surface, I'm certain that they'll find that 'delight' works even better."

"The Vulcan brain is an incredible work of nature that no science can hope to duplicate. Yet there was Spock's brain, hooked up to an alien computer system, performing its autonomic functions as if it still had a body. I've accused Spock of being a machine, but this took the cake! And what does he say when I tell him he's a disembodied brain? 'Fascinating.' I might know the physiology of the Vulcan brain, but I don't think I'll ever understand the Vulcan mind."

Kara resisted the attempts by Captain Kirk to regain Spock's brain, but failed, resulting in her people being forced to relocate to the planet's glaciated surface. |

"One of the last human prejudices we've got to overcome is our belief that what is beautiful is good, and what is ugly is evil. But was the Medusan really so hideous that the merest glimpse of him drove Marvick and Spock mad? Or was it because the corporeal human — or Vulcan — mind simply could not comprehend what it saw? Perhaps Kollos was not ugly at all, but sublimely beautiful instead. There certainly wasn't any evil in him."

"The Vians said they had the power to save the people of only one planet in the Minaran system before its sun went nova. I had no argument with their goal — and did not envy the decision they had to make. It was their methodology I did not, and still cannot, condone. For all their so called good intentions, four people were tortured, and two died. Perhaps the lives of millions were worth the lives of the two scientists, but Linke and Ozaba never had a chance or a choice."

I'm glad Gem felt that in us, and not just the pain the Vians inflicted."

GEM
An empath from a planet in the Minaran star system, Gem had the ability to take the physical injuries of another person onto herself, then heal the wounds. During a period just before the Minaran sun went nova, Gem was taken from her world by Vians, who involved her in an experiment to see if her people were worthy of being rescued from destruction. Although a mute, Gem proved to the Vians through her actions that she was willing to sacrifice herself for others. She saved the life of Dr. McCoy, as well as her planet's entire population. |

The Tholian Web
"When the Defiant disappeared into interspace, I thought for a moment that I was going along with it. And in that moment I wondered if I was going to spend eternity wandering the decks of a ghost ship littered with the bodies of a crew that had killed each other. I must admit, the thought disturbed me. But then the Defiant dissolved completely, and I was left in a universe all my own. There was no one else in it, just me. And the prospect of being totally alone like that forever gave me an even bigger chill. Given the choice, I prefer our own, crowded galaxy to that one."

"Now I know Spock and I have radically different ways of seeing things, but us being in this unstable part of space brought out an antagonism toward him I never knew I had. I was hell-bent on blaming Spock for losing Jim on purpose, just so he could ensure himself command of the Enterprise. I don't think I've ever been that tough on him — well, except when he had to leave Jim on Miramanee's planet. Anyway, it turns out my anger wasn't because of anything he did, it was the result of the disassociative effects of the interspace phenomenon. When I finally realized that, and apologized, Spock very calmly quoted Jim and said, 'Forget it, Bones."

CAPTAIN KIRK
Captain James T. Kirk gained a reputation in Starfleet for his bold, and sometimes brash, behavior. When faced with a dilemma or a danger, he attacked it head-on. But as far as Captain Kirk was concerned, the safety of his ship and crew always came first. Sometimes this called for bravado, and sometimes it called for a bluff. Captain James T. Kirk was a master at both. |

For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky
"In ancient Earth history, people believed the world was flat. In later times, some thought it was hollow. To those of us today that sounds naive, and even a little crazy. So when I tried to tell Natira that her world was a hollow ball, in the back of my mind I knew I sounded like a madman. No wonder she had a hard time believing me. But it was the truth. Yonada was a giant spaceship, and the Oracle of the People was just a computer. That may sound simple to me or you, but to Natira and her people it was as radical as the first man who said the Earth was round."

"It was the craziest thing. The minute I laid eyes on Natira, I felt something that, frankly, I didn't think I'd experience ever again. And when she looked at me, I'd swear she felt it, too. Now I know I'm a bit of a romantic, so for me to say it was love at first sight probably comes as no surprise. But there it was. And the more I got to know her, the deeper it got. So I can't begin to describe what it took to leave her. I had to spread the knowledge of the cure for xenopolycythemia, and she had to be with her people when they reached their promised world."

NATIRA
As the High Priestess of the people on the asteroid/ship Yonada, Natira acted as their guide and intercessor to the Oracle. It was her responsibility to see that they kept the Laws and knew of the promised world to come. She was the only one permitted to choose her own mate, and when she met Dr. McCoy on his mission to divert Yonada from collision with Daran V, she asked him to marry her. He agreed, but they were not together long. McCoy returned to the Enterprise, and Natira remained on Yonada as it reached its promised world. |

"No matter what the Organians said, I don't think I'll ever be friends with the Klingons — not with the way that energy entity stirred up our inherent hatred and hostilities. All that was already inside of me, and the creature fed on it. The thing fed on all of us. And Kang didn't make it easy to turn the situation around. Even then, his goodwill was temporary.

KANG
A Klingon lives to fight, and Commander Kang was the epitome of that warrior ethic when he met Captain Kirk on Beta XII. He felled Kirk with a single blow, then claimed the Federation starship Enterprise as his own. Later, when battle raged between the Starfleet and Klingon crews, Kang again faced Kirk in combat. But it was a false conflict, staged by an alien energy-entity that fed on their animosities. Kang was willing to put on a face of goodwill to banish the creature, sacrificing a victory over Kirk to win the freedom of his men. |

Plato's Stepchildren
"For all his glib speeches about Plato and enlightened behavior, Parmen was nothing more than a bully. His telekinetic power was the strongest, so he ruled.

Now that's what I call enlightened behavior."

Among the community of thirty-eight settlers on the planet they named Platonius, Alexander was the only one who did not develop telekinetic powers several months after their arrival on that world.

Her recorded message in the outpost portrayed her as a strong woman, the commander of a dying colony waiting and hoping for a rescue ship to arrive.

The commander of a Kalandan outpost, Losira died 10,000 years ago with the rest of the colonists from an organism spawned in the terraforming process that created the colony world. Her final acts were to record a message for any Kalandan who might arrive later, explaining what had happened, and to set the computer's defense program to keep the outpost safe. Unknown to Losira, the computer used her image to protect the station, taking her form to kill intruders by means of cellular disruption. |

Let That Be Your Last Battlefield
"I don't think I've ever seen such hatred between two sentient beings as I did between Lokai and Bele. And it was made all the more ugly because it was racially motivated. A simple reversal of skin pigmentation was the entire basis of their prejudice. Spock and I never noticed the difference between them, but to Bele and Lokai it was like night and day. It destroyed their civilization, and will likely destroy the last two survivors of Cheron. What a waste."

"Observing the irrevocably hostile Bele and Lokai of Cheron reminded me of a period in Vulcan's history.

"Originally entitled 'The Last Gunfight,' the script was written by writer-producer Gene Coon who had left Star Trek midway through its second season. Due to his contractual arrangement at another studio, we had to use his pseudonym 'Lee Cronin' for this episode. Some 'Cronin/Coon' story ideas that never made it out of the starting gate were: 'Japan Triumphant' - a fascinating concept - and 'One Million, B.C.' - which to me conjures up a vision of grand adventure for the viewer but total bankruptcy for the studio." |

Making the saloon and town surreal was done for budgetary reasons. The stylized set worked as an illusion pulled from Kirk's mind (an old western buff) by the telepathic Melkots. This was to be an execution of Kirk and his officers (at the OK Corral) for not heeding the warning to turn back when the Enterprise was entering Melkotian space. The shootout scene complete with bullet-hits peppering the prop fence behind Kirk and crew, was done in one take." |

That was that Sabrina Scharf (Miramanee) had the most beautiful pair of legs that most of us had ever seen, Sabrina's William Theiss-created Indian outfit was very revealing of her gorgeous legs, and she carried herself in a manner that crew eyes were always trained on her.

In this episode, Kirk was required to convince the Enterprise crew that he was in a overworked and confused state as he takes the Enterprise into Romulan space. The Federation starship was immediately surrounded by three Romulan ships which demanded Kirk's surrender. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beamed aboard the Romulan flagship and played out a hoax to gain possession of the Romulan Cloaking Device. Later, disguised as a Romulan, Kirk (Shafner) gave this episode one of his finest overall performances." |

And the Children Shall Lead
with BOB JUSTMAN, associate producer
"Due to an unfortunate bit of 'stunt casting.' famed San Francisco criminal defense attorney Melvin Belli was hired to play the guest-starring role of the powerful alien entity, [Gorgan]. Much to our dismay, we discovered that Belli not only had difficulty speaking his lines, his characterization was something less than convincing. This so-called 'silver tongued' court veteran simply froze up in front of the camera. By the time the production wrapped, our sad consensus was that he should have stuck to his day job."

Spock's Brain
with BOB JUSTMAN, associate producer
"The premise was a lulu: Spock's brain gets kidnapped - or rather, 'brain-napped.' With an empty noggin, his lights are on but nobody's home so McCoy performs surgery to reinstall the missing part. I thought the 'Lee Cronin' (actually Gene Coon) story needed another twist so, in my March 11, 1968 story memo, I suggested '…it might be a fascinating concept to have Mr. Spock's brain helping to direct Dr. McCoy during the various phases of the brain operation.' We did just that but it didn't help. The episode was still a dog." |

Spock's Brain
with CHARLES WASHBURN, 2nd asst. director
"Some of us have the memory of the old country doctor pulling up to our house in his black sedan, white hair blowing in the wind, and carrying a black bag containing his medical supplies. Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelly) often referred to himself as an old country doctor. One had to suspend reality to believe the operation of restoring Spock's brain. De (DeForest Kelly) was very believable when the camera was rolling. Between takes, he and Leonard (Nimoy) led many jokes about what they were doing, and Spock's hair remaining in place."

Is There In Truth No Beauty?

"Jean Lisette Aroeste, who authored this episode, was another female writer whom I 'discovered.' Her original story, then called 'Miranda,' was named after the character portrayed by my favorite guest star, Diana Mudaur, who had previously appeared in the second season's 'Return lo Tomorrow.' Another favorite of mine was Ralph Senensky, whose skilled direction complemented this sensitive tale. Yet another favorite was George Duning, the Academy Award-winning composer, whose evocative score perfectly suited this show and other emotionally-charged episodes such as 'Metamorphosis,' 'All Our Yesterdays' and 'The Empath.'" |

The Empath
with BOB JUSTMAN, associate producer
"During third season pre-production, I reviewed all 'outside' submissions. Enthused by Joyce Muskat's 'spec' script, 'The Answerer,' I wrote to Gene Roddenberry: 'I have read this teleplay. I suggest you read it without delay. It has a wild premise and a super plot. Good characterizations and conflict. Good dialogue. And almost sufficient action to sustain it. I don't want to take the edge off the story by describing it to you. I think you will agree with me after reading it.' Gene did agree and her script was filmed as 'The Empath.'" |

The Empath
with CHARLES WASHBURN, 2nd asst. director
"'The Empath' found the Star Trek crew moving to a stage on the Paramount side of the lot and a set (Gem's Arena) which had black walls and a black floor. Since a black floor shows footprints, not only were propmen standing by with mops, but we made this a 'no visitors' set. A well-dressed gentleman casually walked on the set to observe. I let him know it was a closed set and asked him to leave. He obliged, but I later learned that he was Charles Bluhdorn, head of Gulf & Western, who had recently bought Paramount."
"Kathryn Hays (Gem, the empath) gave an extraordinary performance. Her gestures and facial expressions added life and beauty to her character. Cinematographer Jerry Finnerman fell in love with Kathy Hays' face during the filming, and used care and his best techniques in lighting her close-ups." |

The Tholian Web

My main worry? 'The web can't possibly take up the whole universe, guys. If it's in their way, WHY DON'T THEY JUST FLY AROUND IT?' My logic fell upon deaf ears for a very practical reason: If the ship could fly around it, the premise would fall apart and we'd have no show to film." |

"This episode had many elements that thrilled our fans. 'The Tholian Web' was a special photographic effects treasure, with great miniature photography, animation effects, creative lighting, and optics. And, it won an Emmy nomination for Special Photographic Effects. The show had a number of behind-the-scenes changes and difficulties. We experienced a director change as Ralph Senensky was replaced by Herb Wallerstein after three days. There were wardrobe incompletions and difficulties with the zippers. Boom Man Bob Kyte and Craft Serviceman Bob Brian left the set with physical ailments. Set Painter Cliff Liburdi cut his arm on a set piece, and DeForest [Kelley] complained of an eye infection.

There might be some who can determine that, in this instance, discretion would be the better part of valor - but let us never set up a situation whereby |Klingons| ever be anything but highly agressive and self-seeking opponents.' In retrospect it was 'April fool' for me because, 18 years later, I persuaded Gene Roddenberry to have a Klingon serve aboard the Enterprise now that 'peace had broken out' between the Klingons and us." |

"The most exciting time for me in working on this episode was the 4th & 5th days of shooting. A ton of stuntmen were brought in for the swordfighting sequence between the Klingons and the Enterprise crew. I had worked with many of the stuntmen before. Notably, Hubie Kerns and Victor Paul, stunt doubles for TV's 'Batman & Robin.' But, I was most excited about working with and meeting David Sharpe. I learned he had doubled many of my serial heroes during the '40s (Captain Marvel, Dick Tracy, etc.). Davey, held in the highest esteem by the stuntmen of that time, was a superb athlete. Though relatively short, he doubled tall leads, and specialized in tumbling and spectacular leaps and somersaults. When the cameras rolled, along with the stuntmen, I, too, was like a kid again." |

"Yes, there was discussion with NBC about how to handle that now-famous interracial kiss between Kirk and Uhura - so much discussion, in fact, that we grudgingly agreed to film two versions. My recollection is that, after screening both takes, we favored the steamier one in which Kirk and Uhura really do kiss but NBC preferred the alternate version that had no full bore lip-to-lip contact. What I disgustedly called the 'non-kiss' is the version that was broad-cast. You should have seen the one that got away." |

"When you work on a television series each week and meet the best aclors in Hollywood, some of them leave a lasting impression.

One day after lunch was declared, I was leisurely walking outside the stage and spotted Michael near his car. Peering in, I saw that his car's controls were extended to accommodate his height. He talked about how the extensions were done and how convenient the car was to operate. He really was a remarkable man.

Whether the smell of fresh paint or someone's discarded lunch was the attraction was not known. Assislant Propman Al Jacoby sprayed and swatted to no avail. When Bill stood on his mark and the fly buzzed around him, he did a sweep of his hand and held a tight fist, betting nearby crew members that he caught the fly. No takers. The fly was gone. Bill opened his fist. No fly. He laughed. In a 'wink of an eye,' the fly was gone and didn't return." |

When the look wasn't quite there, Leonard Nimoy (Spock) whispered something to her. Though I was near the camera, I couldn't hear Leonard.

I recall Leonard singing softly to himself as he brushed past me and headed for his makeup chair.

Janos also invented and inhabited the giant bird creature seen in the Talosians' zoo and the ape-like beast (an illusion created by the Talosian 'Keeper') that Captain Pike vanquished in 'The Menagerie.'" |

The Savage Curtain
with CHARLES WASHBURN, 2nd asst. director
"This script was more a morality play than an action episode. Kirk, Spock, Abe Lincoln, and the Vulcan, Surak, fought for 'good.' Since Lincoln, we've read, died of an assassin's bullet, he just might have been mad enough to put up a great fight. As we were winding down the final year of STAR TREK, this episode didn't produce a lot of enthusiasm from the main cast. We had done stories on combat contests before. I remember thinking: 'Anybody for cowboys and indians? But, in that reality, it would have taken too many story conferences to figure out who was good and who was evil. We didn't have the time." |

All Our Yesterdays
with BOB JUSTMAN, associate producer
"Spock in love! The enigmatic Vulcan gives vent to his long-hidden emotions, laughs joyously, makes love passionately - and, fights fiercely with Dr. McCoy. This gripping episode demonstrates what can happen when a fine director, Marvin Chomsky, and fine actors come to grips with fine writing. Jean Lisette Aroeste's evocative script had a fascinating premise and great conflict as well as providing terrific roles for Bill Shafner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley and lovely and talenfed guest star Mariette Hartley, not to mention everyone else in this show's cast." |

All Our Yesterdays
with CHARLES WASHBURN, 2nd asst. director
"Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beam down to a planet whose sun will explode in 3 hours. They materialize in the center of a library-a fairly large room subdivided by shelving and storage cabinets into several areas. The librarian, a Mr. Atoz, appears in every section the boys walk. These are replicas. Maybe it was budgetary reasons we made Atoz (like 'A' to 'Z') replicas. After all, this was episode #78. If the show had been done earlier, Atoz might have had two library workers. A guy who could have been called 'Dewey Decimal,' and a girl we might have called 'Cata Logg.' Ah-h, 'tis prudent to heed…your budget's need." |

Turnabout Intruder
with BOB JUSTMAN, associate producer
"Everything seemed to go wrong with this final episode of the series. Even the regular cast, who had to know by then that this was Star Trek's swan song, seemed embarrassed by some rather inept dialogue and situations, but they soldiered on. Luckily, Bill Shatner revelling in his role reversal portrayal, pulled out all the stops and 'saved' this show from becoming a total bust. Nevertheless, in my humble opinion, 'Turnabout Intruder' takes the honors for the all-time worst episode eclipsing even 'Spock's Brain.'" |

Turnabout Intruder
with CHARLES WASHBURN, 2nd asst. director
"In this last episode of the STAR TREK series, Bill Shatner puts an exclamation point on the fact that he is one of this country's finest actors. In 'Turnabout Intruder,' it was a pleasure to watch Bill interject so many female mannerisms in his performance-some blatant, some ever so subtle. Here's hoping Bill Shatner someday puts a punctuation mark on a grand scale performance that generations from now he'll be hailed for the high level he perfected his craft." |
