Pike and a landing party find a group of almost-too-healthy survivors there. Among them is a young woman named Vina who catches Pike's eye and then leads him into a trap while showing him the crash site. Pike is captured by Talosians, aliens with much larger brains than humans, and is subjected to illusions which are designed to compel him to mate with Vina, who turns out to be a human in captivity. The rest of the crew, meanwhile, struggles to recover Pike, aware that the Talosians' power of illusion is an effective weapon. Cast: Jeffrey Hunter (Captain Christopher Pike), Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock), Susan Oliver (Vina), Majel Barrett (Number One), John Hoyt (Doctor Boyce), Peter Duryea (Lt. Tyler), Laurel Goodwin (Yeoman Colt), Meg Wylie (The Keeper) ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ Season One: 1966-1967 ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ 02 THE MAN TRAP Sep 8, 1966 written by George Clayton Johnson directed by Marc Daniels music by Alexander Courage Stardate 1531.1: Visiting Professor Crater and his wife (who, before marrying Crater, had a close relationship with McCoy), an Enterprise landing party starts to fall prey to an unknown assailant that seems to drain its victims of salt. Kirk is suspicious - and McCoy alarmed - when the Craters refuse, in spite of the threat, to evacuate their planet. The landing party returns to the Enterprise with an extra passenger - a shape shifter who can assume the shapes of Enterprise crewmembers and who has been living with Professor Crater in the guise of his late wife, whom the creature killed. The creature, in search of salt, sees the Enterprise as a promising hunting ground. Season 1 Regular Cast: William Shatner (Captain James T.

Stewart (Captain Ramart), Dallas Mitchell (Nellis), Don Eitner (Navigator), Patricia McNulty (Tina Lawton), John Bellah (Crewman #1), Garland Thompson (Crewman #2), Abraham Sofaer (Thasian) 04 WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE Sep 22, 1966 written by Samuel A. Peeples directed by James Goldstone music by Alexander Courage (Crescendo GNP cassette & CD # 8006) Stardate 1312.4: The Enterprise is en route to the edge of the galaxy, where a barrier of energy lies that has never been penetrated. When the Enterprise reaches the barrier, it is buffeted by intense energy, injuring many on board. First Officer Mitchell and psychological observer Dr. Dehner are affected as well, and it becomes apparent that their latent ESP abilities have been activated by contact with the barrier. The crew must then contend with the rapidly strengthening super-human beings who now consider the other people on board to be an inferior species. This is the episode that sold NBC on the idea of "Star Trek" after "The Cage" was rejected. Guest Cast: Gary Lockwood (Lt. Commander Gary Mitchell), Sally Kellerman (Dr. Elizabeth Dehner), Lloyd Haynes (Alden), Andrea Dromm (Yeoman Smith), Paul Carr (Lt. Lee Kelso), Paul Fix (Doctor Piper) 05 THE NAKED TIME Sep 29, 1966 written by John D.F. Black directed by Marc Daniels music by Alexander Courage (GNP Crescendo cassette & CD # GNPD 8030) Stardate 1704.2: A member of a landing party investigating the ruins on a collapsing planet contracts an unknown infection and returns it to the Enterprise, where it spreads rapidly by touch. Lt. Riley locks himself in engineering and shuts down the engines, which may be needed to get the ship away to avoid damage from the planet's impending destruction. Kirk slowly begins to lose control, and even Spock is affected by the infection, while the planet's final phase of collapse begins with very little warning. Guest Cast: Stewart Moss (Lt. Joe Tormolen), Majel Barrett (Nurse Christine Chapel), Bruce Hyde (Lt. Kevin Riley), Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Rand), William Knight (Amorous Crewman), John Bellah (Laughing Crewman) 06 THE ENEMY WITHIN Oct 6, 1966 written by Richard Matheson directed by Leo Penin music by Sol Kaplan Stardate 1672.1: As a landing party surveys a planet, a transporter malfunction splits Kirk into an aggressive aspect and a timid one. The aggressive Kirk threatens the security of the ship and crew, while the passive one tries to maintain his sanity and ability to command. In the meantime, the cause of the transporter problems haven't been determined, stranding Sulu and the team in the planet's subfreezing night temperatures while the two sides of Kirk's personality fight for control of the Enterprise. Guest Cast: Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Rand), Edward Madden (Fisher), Garland Thompson (Wilson), Jim Goodwin (Farrell) 07 MUDD'S WOMEN Oct 13, 1966 teleplay by Stephen Kandel story by Gene Roddenberry directed by Harvey Hart music by Fred Steiner (Varese Sarabande cassette & CD # VS 47235) Stardate 1329.1: After stealing a freighter and pushing its engines to their limits in an effort to escape the pursuing Enterprise, Harry Mudd and his cargo - three seemingly irresistable women - are recovered. Although Mudd can't help but be suspicious, the women follow his instructions to cripple the Enterprise without any questions from the male members of the crew. The dilithium crystals powering the ship are sabotaged, and Mudd intends to force Kirk to bargain for his crew's life when the Enterprise arrives at a dilithium mining outpost.

Carmel (Harry Mudd), Karen Steele (Eve), Maggie Thrett (Ruth), Susan Denberg (Magda), Jim Goodwin (Farrell), Gene Dynarski (Ben Childress), Jon Kowal (Herm), Seamon Glass (Benton), Jerry Foxworth (Guard) 08 WHAT ARE LITTLE GIRLS MADE OF? Oct 20, 1966 written by Robert Bloch directed by James Goldstone music by Fred Steiner Stardate 2712.4: The Enterprise is en route to visit Dr. Korby, a brilliant scientist working in isolation who also happens to be Nurse Chapel's fiance. Kirk and Chapel beam down and discover that Korby has used abandoned technology left behind by an extinct civilization to create android companions for himself - one of which, an attractive and very user-friendly "girl," arouses Chapel's suspicions. Korby, however, has become deranged in his isolation, and wants to take over the Enterprise so he can populate the "inferior" organic universe with androids... Guest Cast: Michael Strong (Dr. Roger Korby), Sherry Jackson (Andrea), Ted Cassidy (Ruk), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), Harry Basch (Brown), Vince Deadrick (Matthews), Budd Albright (Rayburn) 09 MIRI Oct 27, 1966 written by Adrian Spies directed by Vincent McEveety music by Alexander Courage Stardate 2713.5: A remarkably Earthlike planet is the home of a human-like civilization whose entire adult population was wiped out by a virulent disease. The children remain, although their growth has been slowed down to the point that Miri - a teenage girl found by Kirk and a landing party - could easily by 300 years old. Miri develops a crush on Kirk, but at the same time reports back to a gang of unruly children who plot to kidnap the landing party, beginning with Yeoman Rand. Kirk, Rand and even Miri begin to show signs of the disease, which gives Kirk a chance to prove that the disease will eventually kill all of the children - but they are unwilling to admit they need help or the "stuffy" advice of an adult. Guest Cast: Kim Darby (Miri), Michael J. Pollard (Jahn), Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Rand), Keith Taylor (Jahn's Friend), Ed McCready (Boy Creature), Kellie Flanagan (Blonde Girl), Steven McEveety (Redheaded Boy), David Ross (Security Guard #1), Jim Goodwin (Farrell), John Megna (Little Boy) 10 DAGGER OF THE MIND Nov 3, 1966 written by S. Bar-David directed by Vincent McEveety music by Alexander Courage Stardate 2715.1: Kirk and ship's psychiatrist Dr. Noel visit a Federation mental hospital as the Enterprise delivers supplies. But one cargo container beamed aboard the ship contains an apparently insane stowaway from the facility on the planet who isn't a patient, but the second in command of the hospital's director, who has invented a device that can lock emotional impulses in or out of the brain permanently and is apparently used his invention without any discretion. Spock and the crew discover that Kirk and Dr. Noel are trapped on the planet, and are probably the next victims of the mind-altering machine. Guest Cast: James Gregory (Dr. Tristan Adams), Morgan Woodward (Dr. Simon Van Gelder), Marianna Hill (Helen Noel), Susanne Wasson (Lethe), John Arndt (First Crewman), Larry Anthony (Transportation Man), Ed McCready (Inmate), Eli Behar (Therapist) 11 THE CORBOMITE MANEUVER Nov 10, 1966 written by Jerry Sohl directed by Joseph Sargent music by Fred Steiner (Varese Sarabande cassette & CD # VS 47235) Stardate 1512.2: The Enterprise encounters a glowing cube in space. When Kirk discovers that the cube will follow the ship or block its path, he orders the cube destroyed. At this point, an enormous vessel appears, and alien captain Balok declares that he will destroy the Enterprise in minutes. Kirk bluffs his way out by claiming that all Federation vessels have "corbomite" aboard, which he will detonate if Balok threatens the crew. Balok attempts to escape in an escape craft, but the Enterprise catches up and contacts the real Balok - a representative of an alien race whose members, in adulthood, look like human children. Lt. Bailey, whose emotional outbursts had been disrupting the already fatalistic attitude on the Enterprise, agrees to stay with Balok as an "exchange student" so he may learn more about the diversity of life in the galaxy. Guest Cast: Anthony Call (Lt. Dave Bailey), Clint Howard (Balok), Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Rand) 12 THE MENAGERIE - part one Nov 17, 1966 written by Gene Roddenberry footage from "The Cage" directed by Robert Butler new footage directed by Marc Daniels music by Alexander Courage Stardate 3012.4: The Enterprise is summoned to Starbase 6, apparently by Captain Pike, who commanded the ship before Kirk. Commodore Mendez shows Kirk, Spock and McCoy, however, that Pike was recently paralyzed in an accident and could not have signalled the Enterprise. Spock creates false messages from Kirk and sends them to the ship, instructing the crew that Spock and Pike will beam up immediately, the Enterprise will be piloted by computer to its next destination, and that Kirk will be staying behind. Kirk and Mendez follow the Enterprise in a shuttle, which runs out of fuel when Spock refuses to slow the Enterprise down so the shuttle can come aboard. Spock finally allows Kirk to catch up and then places himself under arrest. Kirk is unable to disconnect the computer from the helm, and Spock's court-martial begins. Spock offers, as evidence, visual records of a voyage on the Enterprise on which Spock and Pike served 13 years earlier. The bridge then informs Kirk and Mendez that the recording is being sent to the Enterprise from Talos IV - a planet that, according to Starfleet regulations, is absolutely off-limits to all vessels, punishable by death. Guest Cast: Sean Kenney (Captain Pike), Malachi Throne (Commodore Mendez), Hagan Beggs (Ensign Hansen), Julie Parrish (Miss Piper) Appearing in footage from "The Cage": Jeffrey Hunter (Capt. Christopher Pike), Susan Oliver (Vina), Majel Leigh Hudec (Number One), Peter Duryea (Lt. Tyler), John Hoyt (Dr. Boyce), Meg Wylie (The Keeper), Adam Roarke (CPO Garrison) 13 THE MENAGERIE - part two Nov 24, 1966 written by Gene Roddenberry footage from "The Cage" directed by Robert Butler new footage directed by Marc Daniels music by Alexander Courage Stardate 3013.1: Spock reveals that the Keeper of Talos IV has control of the viewscreen and the evidence being presented. The screen shows the events that occurred during Pike's visit to Talos IV in great detail, but Spock has difficulty convincing Kirk and Mendez of the validity of what they are seeing as well as the tremendous power of the Talosians. When the evidence suddenly stops, Mendez orders Kirk and Pike, the ranking officers forming Spock's trial board, to make their verdict, and all find Spock guilty. The final part of the record of Pike's adventure then continues, and then Commodore Mendez vanishes from the Enterprise. The Keeper himself tells Kirk that the Mendez that accompanied him in the shuttle and the trial was an illusion projected from Talos IV, and that Pike is welcome to return to the planet and be restored, as Vina was, to his former strength and health. Both parts of "The Menagerie" used footage of the original series pilot "The Cage" as the visual evidence of Pike's early mission. Guest Cast: Sean Kenney (Captain Pike), Malachi Throne (Commodore Mendez), Hagan Beggs (Ensign Hansen) Appearing in footage from "The Cage": Jeffrey Hunter (Capt. Christopher Pike), Susan Oliver (Vina), Majel Leigh Hudec (Number One), Peter Duryea (Lt.

Kirk isn't convinced until Leighton turns up dead, leaving Kirk and Lt. Riley the only remaining living witnesses of the Tarsus IV massacre. To investigate further, Kirk invites Karidian's company to travel on the Enterprise to their next performance, and attempts on Kirk and Riley's lives begin immediately.

Riley), Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Rand), William Sargent (Dr. Leighton), Natalie Norwick (Martha Leighton), David-Troy (Larry Matson), Karl Bruck (King Duncan), Marc Adams (Hamlet) 15 BALANCE OF TERROR Dec 15, 1966 written by Paul Schneider directed by Vincent McEveety music by Fred Steiner Stardate 1709.1: Responding to distress calls from border outposts along the Neutral Zone between the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire, Kirk and the crew receive a final message from a Federation station reporting an attack from an invisible ship. Before the station is destroyed, it sends the Enterprise a brief view of the attacking vessel - a streamlined fighter which appears for a second when it fires. Hurrying to the scene, the Enterprise engages in battle with a Romulan Bird of Prey, armed with a cloaking device and commanded by a battle-scarred and tired commander whose crew is more eager to go into combat than he is. The Romulans, to the Enterprise crew's amazement, bear a stunning resemblance to Vulcans, which arouses suspicion in some, including Lt. Styles, whose father died in a battle with the Romulans years ago. But as long as the Romulan ship can remain invisible, the Enterprise is at a disadvantage. The unusual similarities between Vulcans and Romulans are finally addressed in 1991 in the "Next Generation" story "Unification," in which Spock, in his 120s or older, traveled to Romulus to investigate resuming relations between the Vulcans and Romulans. Guest Cast: Mark Lenard (Romulan Commander), Paul Comi (Styles), Lawrence Montaigne (Decius), Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Rand), Stephen Mines (Lt. Tomlinson), Barbara Baldavin (Angela), Garry Walberg (Hansen), John Warburton (The Centurion) 16 SHORE LEAVE Dec 29, 1966 written by Theodore Sturgeon directed by Robert Sparr music by Gerald Fried (GNP Crescendo cassette & CD # GNPD 8030) Stardate 3025.3: McCoy recommends a layover so the crew can rest from the constant strain of nonstop duties, and an earthlike but apparently uninhabited planet provides a perfect opportunity for shore leave, but when odd things begin happening on the surface, Kirk becomes suspicious. McCoy, after telling Sulu that the planet is like a setting from "Alice in Wonderland," spots a large rabbit followed by Alice herself. Kirk runs into his old nemesis, Academy prankster Finnegan, while Sulu discovers a police revolver that he doesn't have in his ancient firearms collection and later runs into a Samurai warrior. Mysterious tracking devices follow the crew's actions and thoughts, and whatever they happen to be thinking of seems to become real - even if it's a deadly threat, as McCoy discovers. Guest Cast: Emily Banks (Tonia Barrows), Oliver McGowan (Caretaker), Perry Lopez (Rodriguez), Bruce Mars (Finnegan), Barbara Baldavin (Angela), Marcia Brown (Alice), Sebastian Tom (Warrior), Shirley Bonne (Ruth) 17 THE GALILEO SEVEN Jan 5, 1967 teleplay by Oliver Crawford and S. Bar-David story by Oliver Crawford directed by Robert Gist music by Alexander Courage Stardate 2821.5: A shuttle commanded by Spock crash-lands on a savage planet where members of the shuttle crew are in immediate danger from the local life forms. The Enterprise must leave the area as soon as possible to deliver a much needed vaccine to a plague-stricken planet, and Commissioner Ferris insists that Kirk leave the Galileo crew for dead and get underway to the Enterprise's next destination. Meanwhile, Spock faces a command situation where total logic and rationality may be of no use if the crew of the shuttle is to return to the Enterprise. Guest Cast: Don Marshall (Boma), John Crawford (Commissioner Ferris), Peter Marko (Gaetano), Phyllis Douglas (Yeoman Mears), Rees Vaughn (Latimer), Grant Woods (Kelowitz), Buck Maffei (Creature), David Ross (Transporter Chief) 18 THE SQUIRE OF GOTHOS Jan 12, 1967 written by Paul Schneider directed by Don McDougall music by Alexander Courage Stardate 2124.5: The Enterprise crew discovers that the ship cannot escape orbit of a planet that doesn't even exist on the star charts. Kirk and a landing party beam down to the surface of the mysterious planet and their captor is revealed to be the immature but powerful Trelane, who initially seems to be a student of ancient Earth history (as demonstrated by his 17th century mansion, clothes and furnishings). Kirk, discovering that Trelane's hold on the Enterprise comes from a power far beyond 23rd century technology, must try to beat Trelane at his own game, but Trelane rewrites the rules constantly to make sure he's winning. Guest Cast: William Campbell (Trelane), Richard Carlyle (Jaeger), Michael Barrier (DeSalle), Venita Wolf (Teresa) 19 ARENA Jan 19, 1967 teleplay by Gene L. Coon from a story by Frederic Brown directed by Joseph Pevney music by Alexander Courage Stardate 3045.6: Arriving at a Federation planet at the request of a starbase director, the Enterprise finds a devastated world with only one survivor, who reveals that any summons Kirk received to visit the planet must have been a trap. The Enterprise locates and pursues an alien vessel right past the borders of the apparently omnipotent Metrons, who halt the ensuing battle and force Kirk and the captain of the other vessel - a huge, reptilian Gorn - to settle their differences in hand-to-hand combat...a prospect which immediately leaves Kirk at a disadvantage. Should he lose, the crew of the Enterprise will be destroyed. Guest Cast: Jerry Ayres (O' Herlihy), Grant Woods (Kelowitz), Tom Troupe (Lt. Harold), James Farley (Lang), Carole Shelyne (Metron), Sean Kenney (DePaul) 20 TOMORROW IS YESTERDAY Jan 26, 1967 written by D.C. Fontana directed by Michael O' Herlihy music by Alexander Courage Stardate 3113.2: Accidentally swinging around the sun into a time warp, the Enterprise's crew recover from their turbulent journey and find themselves in Earth's atmosphere in the 1960s over North America. Jets are dispatched to bring the "UFO" down, and one is caught in the ship's tractor beam and begins to break apart. The pilot, Captain John Christopher, is beamed out of his plane before it disintegrates and is welcomed to the Enterprise as the crew prepares to return to the 23rd century. Kirk tells Christopher that he cannot be returned to his own time because he has seen too much of the future, but Spock discovers that Christopher will have a son who will be very important to the history of the space program and Christopher must be returned to 20th century Earth. Presumably, the sun-slingshot maneuver was used by the Enterprise to jump into the late 20th century for observation in second season's "Assignment: Earth," and was employed to return the crew to the 20th century yet again in the movie "Star Trek IV." Guest Cast: Roger Perry (Major Chistopher), Hal Lynch (Air Police Sergeant), Richard Merrifield (Technician), John Winston (Transporter Chief), Ed Peck (Col. Fellini), Mark Dempsey (Air Force Captain), Jim Spencer (Air Policeman), Sherri Townsend (Crew Woman) 21 COURT-MARTIAL Feb 2, 1967 teleplay by Don M. Mankiewicz and Steven W. Carabatsos story by Don M. Mankiewicz directed by Marc Daniels music by Alexander Courage Stardate 2947.3: Kirk is accused of murder when the Enterprise's records officer, Lt. Commander Finney, is apparently jettisoned during a violent ion storm which threatened the ship. Kirk insists that he gave Finney even more time than safely allowed to get out of the jettisoned ion pod, yet the Enterprise computer's records show that Kirk discarded the pod, and Finney, while only at yellow alert when there was no sign of actual danger. Kirk challenges the findings of the computer and is court-martialed, with accusations that earlier rivalries with Finney when both were new officers caused Kirk to act maliciously - and even Kirk's attorney, Cogley, may not be able to convince the court that the error may have been the computer's.

The Enterprise can't beam Sulu up in time, and he is hit by a weapon on the planet which leaves him under the control of something or someone called Landru. Kirk and Spock beam down, finding the planet's people engaged in unusual rituals, and also finding out from some of the locals that Landru has complete control over most everyone on the planet, aside from a small resistance effort. What begins as an effort to free the people on the planet becomes a matter of survival when Kirk and Spock become hunted by Landru's "puppets."

The inhabitants of the rogue ship, though they try to conceal the fact at every opportunity, are the only surviving oppressors from that war. Their leader, Khan, wishes to resume their reign of terror, beginning with a takeover of the Enterprise. This story is the basis of the film "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." Guest Cast: Ricardo Montalban (Khan), Madlyn Rhue (Marla), Blaisdell Makee (Spinelli), Mark Tobin (Joaquin), Kathy Ahart (Crew Woman), John Winston (Transporter Chief Kyle) 24 A TASTE OF ARMAGEDDON Feb 23, 1967 teleplay by Robert Hammer and Gene L.

When they beam down to Eminiar 7, Kirk, Spock and the rest of their landing party are informed that the Enterprise has been struck by enemy missiles and Kirk's party, along with the rest of the crew, have been declared casualties. Investigating further, Kirk discovers that the war between the two planets is controlled by computers, which determine the damage done and the fatalities caused by the attacks, and assigns citizens to report to disintegration machines, which they do willingly.

McCoy diagnoses the colonists as being in fine health and none of them wish to leave, no matter how much danger they are in. Spock, with Leila, an old acquaintance who has a crush on him, is infested by spores from a plant while examining the colony grounds.

Guest Cast: Jill Ireland (Leila), Frank Overton (Elias Sandoval), Grant Woods (Kelowitz), Michael Barrier (DeSalle), Dick Scotter (Painter), Eddie Paskey (Crewman) 26 DEVIL IN THE DARK Mar 9, 1967 written by Gene L.

The Enterprise arrives, and Kirk, Spock and security officers from the ship begin a hunt for whoever or whatever is responsible for the growing body count. An amorphous creature capable of burning through the indigenous rock is found to be the cause of the deaths as well as a very well-thought out sabotage of the miners' life support systems. Through a mind-meld, Spock communicates with the being - known as the Horta - and finds that it is the last of its kind, a mother laying eggs in the tunnels and caves it builds for itself. But the humans have been discovering and destroying the eggs, and if the Horta cannot bring herself to negotiate with the miners, one party or the other faces extinction. Guest Cast: Ken Lynch (Vanderberg), Brad Weston (Appel), Biff Elliot (Schmitter), George E.

Coon directed by John Newland music by Alexander Courage Stardate 3198.4: A sudden attack by the Klingons on a vulnerable neutral sector - a location of great strategic importance - puts the Enterprise on red alert, as the threat of a catastrophic war between the Klingon Empire and the Federation looms. Kirk and Spock beam down to Organia, the planet whose security is at risk due to the Klingon threat, and find that the inhabitants, who appear to be humans who have reached the medieval period of sociological and technological development, are not at all concerned that their world is currently being overrun by Klingon troops. Kirk and Spock try to conceal their identities, but fail, leaving Kirk and Klingon Captain Kor at each others' throats - until the Organians reveal their true nature and intervene in the impending war.

Kirk leads a landing party to the surface to investigate any possible connection between the planet and the disturbance, and they find a man named Lazarus, who, though he seems healthy and normal, claims to be fighting his own equivalent from a universe of antimatter. Lazarus proves to be a threat to the Enterprise's security, and the increasing blasts of turbulence seem to confirm Lazarus's story that he has a powerful enemy in another dimension.

Ross (Galloway), John Winston (Transporter Chief Kyle), Bartell La Rue (Guardian voice) 30 OPERATION: ANNIHILATE! Apr 13, 1967 written by Steven W. Carabatsos directed by Herschel Daugherty music by Alexander Courage Stardate 3287.2: The Enterprise witnesses a smaller ship diving into the sun of Deneva under the control of a pilot who seems to have intentionally killed himself. This confirms Kirk's worst fears, that a seemingly contagious outbreak of insanity on several other worlds has spread to Deneva, where his brother lives. On the surface, many are found to be dead - including Kirk's brother - and an unknown species of alien parasite is found to be responsible. In trying to gather data on them, Spock is attacked and taken over by one, and, like the people of Deneva and several other planets, starts to go mad. Spock's condition also presents McCoy with the first opportunity to learn more about both the creature and its victim, and Spock may have to die if the crew is to learn any more about the creatures to prevent them from spreading further into human territory.

He transfers that guilt to the surviving landing party member, who not only is considered responsible by Kirk, but is also the son of Kirk's former captain on that previous assignment.

Kirk orders stepped-up security, but that only results in some of the crew - including Scotty and Chekov - instigating a massive bar brawl with the Klingons. All the while, the seemingly harmless huckster Cyrano Jones is trying to peddle furry tribbles off to anyone with a few credits, and Uhura buys one and takes it back to the Enterprise, not knowing that tribbles do only two things: eat and breed.

Johnson), Mark Tobin (Klingon) 64 FOR THE WORLD IS HOLLOW AND I HAVE TOUCHED THE SKY Nov 8, 1968 written by Rik Vollaerts directed by Tony Leader music by George Duning Stardate 5476.3: McCoy tells Kirk that the most recent routine medical exams of the entire crew have revealed a case of a terminal but non-contagious disease. The victim is McCoy himself. Kirk recommends that the doctor resign immediately, but before the discussion gets any further, Kirk leads Spock and McCoy on a landing party mission to the asteroid-like vessel called Yonada, carefully disguised inside to make it appear to the humanoid inhabitants that they are on the surface of a planet. Kirk finds that the "world" is controlled by a computer known by the residents of Yonada as the Oracle, and the Oracle's instructions are being taken as a religious order. The high priestess catches McCoy's eye and asks him to remain with her - an offer which, considering the doctor's current state, McCoy finds tempting. Guest Cast: Kate Woodvile (Natira), Byron Morrow (Admiral Westervliet), Jon Lormer (Old Man) 65 THE THOLIAN WEB Nov 15, 1968 written by Judy Burns and Chet Richards directed by Herb Wallerstein music by Fred Steiner Stardate 5693.2: Searching for the missing starship Defiant, the Enterprise eventually finds the lost ship enshrouded in a strange glow. A landing party beams aboard, finding that the entire crew of the Defiant went mad and murdered one another. While Kirk and the landing party inspect the Defiant, they notice the ship's solid surface are becoming ghost-like, while the crew of the Enterprise see the Defiant fading away. With the Enterprise's transporters confused by the fading, Kirk waits while the others beam back, but he cannot be retrieved as the Defiant disappears. Waiting for the next "interphase" during which the Defiant might return to the Enterprise's dimension, members of the crew begin to go insane, like the Defiant's crew. To make matters worse, a Tholian vessel arrives, and its commander refuses to believe that the Enterprise is assisting a damaged ship since the ship in question has disappeared. Tholians begin to weave a web of energy around the Enterprise, holding the ship in place as more of the crew lose their minds, and Spock and McCoy debate Spock's ability to command in Kirk's absence. Guest Cast: Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), Sean Morgan (Lt. O' Neil) 66 PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN Nov 22, 1968 written by Meyer Dolinsky directed by David Alexander music by Alexander Courage Stardate 5784.0: The Enterprise is summoned urgently to assist the seriously ill Parmen, head of the planet Platonius. After McCoy manages to give Parmen the necessary elixirs, Parmen and his fellow Platonians use immense telekinetic powers to force Kirk, McCoy and Spock to stay on the planet and behave as puppets to Parmen's whim for their amusement. The only Platonian showing disgust at the others' abuse of their power is Alexander, but he is also apparently the only Platonian incapable of telekinesis, and he cannot assist the landing party as they try to escape Parmen's control. Guest Cast: Michael Dunn (Alexander), Liam Sullivan (Parmen), Barbara Babcock (Philana), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), Ted Scott (Eraclitus), Derek Partridge (Dionyo) 67 WINK OF AN EYE Nov 29, 1968 teleplay by Arthur Heinemann story by Lee Cronin directed by Jud Taylor music by Alexander Courage Stardate 5710.5: When a landing party investigating Scalos begins to vanish one by one, Kirk, Spock and McCoy try to find out what is happening before more of the crew disappears, until Kirk himself is abducted. Kirk finds the cause to be a group of endangered Scalosians who move faster than human sight or hearing can detect. They need to repopulate their species, and find that speeding human males up to Scalosian speed will meet their needs. Kirk must find a way to get a message to Spock and McCoy, who are working on a cure for the mystery "ailment," as well as stirring up fighting among the Scalosians, before they have control of the Enterprise. Guest Cast: Kathie Browne (Deela), Jason Evers (Rael), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), Erik Holland (Ekor), Geoffrey Binney (Compton) 68 THE EMPATH Dec 6, 1968 written by Joyce Muskat directed by John Erman music by George Duning Stardate 5121.0: Kirk, Spock and McCoy search for two missing scientists on a planet whose sun is about to explode, but they only find visual logs that show the scientists disappearing. Then the landing party disappears as well, finding themselves trapped by two aliens who snatched the scientists away and experimented on them until they died. The aliens now have Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and a mute empath nicknamed "Gem" by the landing party in their custody, and the captors seem to be intent on repeating the same deadly experiments on their new specimens. Guest Cast: Kathryn Hays (Gem), Alan Bergmann (Lal), Davis Roberts (Dr. Ozaba), Jason Wingreen (Dr. Linke), Willard Sage (Thann) 69 ELAAN OF TROYIUS Dec 20, 1968 written by John Meredyth Lucas directed by John Meredyth Lucas music by Fred Steiner Stardate 4372.5: The Enterprise is ordered to ferry Ambassador Petri of Troyius to up the dohlman of Troyius's sworn enemy, the world of Elas. The dohlman turns out to be Elaan, one of the most striking examples of the women of Elas, whose tears, according to legend, leave any man susceptible to her charms. Petri's duty on the slow voyage back to Troyius is to train the savage Elaan in the more civilized ways of the Troyians, a lesson she does not willingly take on. After stabbing Petri, throwing numerous tantrums, and ordering her guards to refuse Kirk permission to resolve any disputes, Elaan sheds a tear, which infects Kirk, clouding his judgement at precisely the wrong time when a Klingon warship enters the sector. Guest Cast: Frances Nuyen (Elaan), Jay Robinson (Petri), Tony Young (Kryton), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), Lee Duncan (Evans), Victor Brandt (Wilson), Dick Durock (Guard #1), Charles Beck (Guard #2), K.L. Smith (Klingon) 70 WHOM GODS DESTROY Jan 3, 1969 teleplay by Lee Erwin story by Lee Erwin and Jerry Sohl directed by Herb Wallerstein music by Fred Steiner Stardate 5718.3: The Enterprise is carrying a new drug to the mental hospital on Elba II, where it is hoped that the last dangerously insane patients in the Federation can finally be treated. But when Kirk and Spock beam down, they do not realize that the facilities have been taken over by the inmates, led by Garth, a former Starfleet captain who has also become a shape-shifter. Before anyone on the Enterprise realizes what is transpiring on Elba II, Garth has activated a shield to prevent the landing party from escaping. Guest Cast: Steve Ihnat (Garth), Yvonne Craig (Marta), Richard Geary (Andorian), Gary Downey (Tellarite), Keye Luke (Cory) 71 LET THAT BE YOUR LAST BATTLEFIELD Jan 10, 1969 teleplay by Oliver Crawford story by Lee Cronin directed by Jud Taylor music by Fred Steiner Stardate 5730.2: Two natives of the planet Cheron are brought aboard after one of them helps the Enterprise chase the other down after he had stolen a shuttlecraft from a Federation starbase. Bele and Lokai, however, have a dispute that goes far beyond a simple pursuit of a criminal. Their hatred - and, indeed, the entire shuttlecraft incident - is rooted in a deep racial prejudice which threatens to engulf not only them, but the Enterprise and Kirk's crew. Guest Cast: Frank Gorshin (Bele), Lou Antonia (Lokai), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel) 72 THE MARK OF GIDEON Jan 17, 1969 written by George F. Slavin and Stanley Adams directed by Jud Taylor music by Fred Steiner Stardate 5423.4: Kirk is planning to beam down to the overpopulated planet Gideon to meet with the leaders, but apparently arrives at the wrong place in a transporter malfunction (or so it seems to the Enterprise crew.) Kirk finds himself aboard the Enterprise, but cannot locate anyone else aboard except for Odona, who offers no answers to his bafflement at why no one is aboard the ship but him (or so he thinks). It turns out that the leaders of Gideon plan on using Odona - and now Kirk - as pawns in a horrific scheme to reduce the planet's population... Guest Cast: Sharon Acker (Odona), David Hurst (Hodin), Gene Dynarski (Krodak), Richard Derr (Admiral Fitzgerald) 73 THAT WHICH SURVIVES Jan 24, 1969 teleplay by John Meredyth Lucas story by Michael Richards directed by Herb Wallerstein music by Fred Steiner Stardate not given: Kirk leads a landing party to do a geological survey of an unexplored planet, but before they beam down, they see a woman appear out of nowhere in the transporter room and kill a crewman simply by touch, and then she disappears. Her appearance also affects the Enterprise, sending it well out of communications range, trapping Kirk and his team on the planet's surface. The woman continues to appear, naming her victim on arrival and killing them by touch. Sulu is nearly killed by her, and the woman appears on the Enterprise as well, sabotaging the engines so the ship will never retrieve Kirk's survey team, stranding them - as well as the crew of the Enterprise - with an unpredictable murderer. Guest Cast: Lee Meriwether (Losira), Arthur Batanides (D'Amato), Naomi Pollack (Rahda), Booker Bradshaw (Dr. M'Benga), Brad Forrest (Ensign), Kenneth Washington (Watkins) 74 THE LIGHTS OF ZETAR Jan 31, 1969 written by Jeremy Tarcher and Shari Lewis directed by Herb Kenwith music by Alexander Courage Stardate 5725.3: En route to Memory Alpha, the home of the Federation's largest library/computer banks, the Enterprise is transferring Lt. Romaine to her next assignment, overseeing refits and new installations on Memory Alpha. A cloud of energy intercepts the ship and wreaks havoc with the Enterprise's instruments and crew, affecting various crewmembers' brains in different ways and causing Lt. Romaine to pass out. The cloud strikes Memory Alpha next, wiping out every living thing on the planetoid along with most of the library banks. Mira, who has been experiencing strange thoughts and visions since the cloud's first sweep of the Enterprise, is suddenly able to predict the cloud is returning to the vicinity before the Enterprise's sensors can. Kirk orders phasers fired to defend the ship, but every time the cloud is hit, it injures Lt. Romaine. McCoy determines that the energy beings in the cloud are now telepathically linked to her mind. Guest Cast: Jan Shutan (Lt. Mira Romaine), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), John Winston (Lt. Kyle), Libby Erwin (Technician) 75 REQUIEM FOR METHUSELAH Feb 14, 1969 written by Jerome Bixby directed by Murray Golden music by Fred Steiner Brahms paraphrase by Ivan Ditmars Stardate 5843.7: On an urgent mission to procure the antidote to a serious plague which threatens the entire crew of the Enterprise, Kirk, Spock and McCoy beam down to Holberg 917-G to contact Flint in hopes of finding either the remedy or the raw material from which to extract it. Flint's lovely female android, Rayna, begins to create a rivalry between Kirk, for whom she begins to feel true love, and Flint, who created Rayna to provide him with companionship. Spock discovers that Flint may be an immortal being who has influenced Earth's history in the past, and McCoy finds that Flint is slowly dying. But Kirk may not resolve his argument with Flint in time to help Spock and McCoy save the crew of the Enterprise. Guest Cast: James Daly (Flint), Louise Sorel (Rayna) 76 THE WAY TO EDEN Feb 21, 1969 teleplay by Arthur Heinemann story by Michael Richard and Arthur Heinemann directed by David Alexander music by Fred Steiner Stardate 5832.3: Pursuing the USS Aurora, which has been stolen, Kirk beams the Aurora's crew aboard the Enterprise when the sustained high-speed pursuit overloads the stolen vessel's engines, destroying the ship. The thieves turn out to be a motley assortment of "hippies," including noted scientist Dr. Sevrin. Another of the throwbacks is the son of a Federation ambassador, leading Starfleet Command to order Kirk to allow his new passengers to roam the Enterprise freely. Sevrin and his friends take advantage of their newfound freedom and decide to hijack the Enterprise so they may resume the interrupted mission for which they stole the Aurora - to find the mythical planet Eden, a gardenlike world on which they hope to find health, purity and happiness. The planet Eden is also mentioned in "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier," and although Sybok was obviously thinking about a different Eden when he and his followers took over the Enterprise for much the same purpose as Dr. Sevrin and company, Kirk, perhaps remembering this adventure, stated many times in "The Final Frontier" that Eden, as a planet, is a myth. Guest Cast: Skip Homeier (Sevrin), Charles Napier (Adam), Mary-Linda Rapelye (Irina), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), Victor Brandt (Tongo Rad), Elizabeth Rogers (Lt. Palmer), Deborah Downey (Girl #1), Phyllis Douglas (Girl #2) 77 THE CLOUDMINDERS Feb 28, 1969 teleplay by Margaret Armen story by David Gerrold and Oliver Crawford directed by Jud Taylor music by Fred Steiner Stardate 5818.4: Beaming down to pick up a consignment of zenite from the planet Ardana, the home of Stratos, a city that floats above the surface of the planet, Kirk and Spock, who are there to pick up a consignment of zenite, are ambushed by mineworkers known as Troglytes. The attack is cut short by the arrival of Plasus, a high advisor from Stratos, who says that a disruptive group of protesting Troglytes probably stole the zenite shipment, which was missing. On Stratos, which Plasus says is safe, there is also evidence of Troglyte terrorism. Kirk and Spock discover that the Stratos dwellers live an easy life thanks to their planet's unique mineral resources at the expense of the Troglytes, who get no reward for extracting those resources. When McCoy finds that the raw zenite being mined by the Troglytes is having an adverse affect on their health, Kirk takes it upon himself to upset the balance in favor of equality. Guest Cast: Jeff Corey (Plasus), Diana Ewing (Droxine), Charlene Polite (Vanna), Kirk Raymone (Cloud Guard #1), Jimmy Fields (Cloud Guard #2), Ed Long (Midro), Fred Williamson (Anka), Garth Pillsbury (Prisoner), Harv Selsby (Guard) 78 THE SAVAGE CURTAIN Mar 7, 1969 teleplay by Gene Roddenberry and Arthur Heinemann story by Gene Roddenberry directed by Herschel Daugherty music by Fred Steiner Stardate 5906.4: Over the planet Excalbia, the Enterprise is intercepted by who appears to be Abraham Lincoln, floating through space. Beaming aboard, Lincoln is welcomed by Kirk, who is somewhat awed by the presence of one of his most revered figures of history. "Lincoln" extends an invitation to Kirk and Spock to visit the planet, whose normally lava-covered surface sprouts a zone of Earthlike safety just for the landing party. Kirk, Spock and Lincoln are joined on the surface by an image of Surak, who initiated the doctrine of emotional restraint on Vulcan. A rock-creature appears and introduces Kirk and Spock to four more illusionary figures from history, this time the fiercest conquerors, tyrants and villains of the past, from Earth's Genghis Khan to Kahless the Unforgettable, who, as Surak did for Vulcan, set the standard of behavior for the Klingons. The creature pits the best and most noble - Kirk, Spock, Lincoln and Surak - against the most vile historical figures. The rewards for Kirk and Spock, should they survive, are their lives, and the lives of everyone aboard the Enterprise. Guest Cast: Lee Bergere (Abraham Lincoln), Barry Atwater (Surak), Phillip Pine (Colonel Green), Arell Blanton (Chief Security Guard), Carol Daniels DeMent (Zora), Robert Herron (Kahless), Nathan Jung (Ghengis Khan) 79 ALL OUR YESTERDAYS Mar 14, 1969 written by Jean Lisette Aroeste directed by Marvin Chomsky music by George Duning Stardate 5943.7: Arriving at the moon Sarpiedon, whose mother planet is due to explode in three hours, Kirk, Spock and McCoy find just what the ship's sensors indicated on the surface - no life forms, though an advanced civilization obviously once existed. But they then find several copies of Sarpiedon's librarian, Mr. Atoz. Some of the clones are helpful, others belligerent, but they all tell the landing party that all the people of Sarpiedon have already escaped to safety, and Atoz, thinking that Kirk and the others are natives who arrived late, advises them to do the same. The library turns out to be a file of "time periods" into which a device Atoz calls the atavachron can propel them, as it has already provided an escape for the rest of the moon's inhabitants. Hearing a woman screaming, but not realizing that she is one the other side of tha atavachron's time portal, Kirk leaps into a time period similar to the 1800s, and Spock and McCoy stumble into an ice age trying to retrieve him. All three must try to survive long enough in their respective environments for the time portal back to Sarpiedon to return - if that moon still exists in the 23rd century for them to return to. Guest Cast: Mariette Hartley (Zarabeth), Ian Wolfe (Mr. Atoz), Kermit Murdock (The Prosecutor), Ed Bakey (First Fop), Anna Karen (Woman), Al Cavens (Second Fop), Stan Barrett (Jailer), Johnny Haymer (Constable) 80 TURNABOUT INTRUDER Jun 3, 1969 teleplay by Arthur H. Singer story by Gene Roddenberry directed by Herb Wallerstein music by Fred Steiner Stardate 5298.5: Visiting Dr. Coleman and the ailing Dr. Lester, a colleague of Kirk's from Starfleet Academy who has always envied him due to her inability to achieve a captaincy in a male-captains-only Starfleet, Kirk is rendered unconscious by Lester. It turns out to have been a trap, and Lester puts herself and Kirk into an unknown device that transfers their minds into one another's bodies. Lester, in the form of Kirk, doesn't have time to kill Kirk (now in the female body). Lester and Coleman make every attempt to leave Kirk on the planet, but must bring "her" aboard to save face. Kirk, still suffering a severe shock from the mind transfer, is unable to warn McCoy about Lester's plan to command the Enterprise (especially when Lester keeps ordering Kirk sedated). Lester, however, is unable to conceal her lack of knowledge of command procedures and, more specifically, Kirk's character, and when Spock learns the truth and attempts to help Kirk, Lester has him placed under arrest and tries to speed Spock's court-martial toward a conclusion which would have Kirk and Spock executed. Guest Cast: Sandra Smith (Janice Lester), Harry Landers (Dr. Coleman), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), Barbara Baldavin (Communications Officer), David L. Ross (Lt. Galoway), John Boyer (Guard) ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ The Movies: 1979-1991 ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ 81 THE MOTION PICTURE (originally "IN THY IMAGE") Dec 7, 1979 screenplay by Harold Livingston story by Alan Dean Foster directed by Robert Wise music by Jerry Goldsmith (Columbia cassette & CD # 36334) Stardate 7412.6: Two and a half years after the end of the mission of Kirk (who has now become an admiral) and his crew, the Enterprise has been refitted inside and out, almost an entirely new ship, and some of the crew have drifted apart - McCoy has taken an extended leave, Kirk has accepted a desk job, and Spock has returned to Vulcan to pursue the Kolinahr discipline, a total purge of emotions. In the meantime, Sulu and Uhura have stayed with the Enterprise during its testing phase, while Chekov has become ship's chief of security and Nurse Chapel has become a full doctor. Captain Willard Decker, son of the late Matt Decker, is slated to become the ship's new commanding officer. An "energy cloud" of unknown origin and intent has carved a path of destruction through the galaxy on a direct course for Earth, having destroyed a flotilla of Klingon ships as well as Federation communications relay station Epsilon 9. Admiral Kirk convinces Starfleet to give him command of the Enterprise, displacing Decker to the position of first officer. The refitted ship still has problems, most notably a transporter malfunction which kills two incoming crew members, including the ship's new Vulcan science officer, whose duties Kirk again hands to Decker. Once the transporter is repaired, the final crew members board the Enterprise, such as Lt. Ilia, the ship's new navigator who once had a relationship with Decker on her home planet of Delta IV; and Dr. McCoy reluctantly resumes his position after being called back into service by Starfleet. Kirk's unfamiliarity with the Enterprise's new design is proven when he orders the ship to warp speed against the recommendations of Decker and Scotty, plunging the ship into a wormhole which it escapes with a last minute order from Decker. While repairing the damage, the ship is boarded by a ship from Vulcan carrying Spock, who offers to resume his post as science officer. Spock begins by helping Scotty overcome the difficulties with the warp engines, enabling the Enterprise to head for the cloud at top speed. En route, Spock reveals that he was unable to complete his Kolinahr training because he detected an intelligence which he believes is part of the cloud. Penetrating the cloud, the Enterprise wards off an attack but is weakened in the process. After Spock manages to devise a makeshift message to speak to the cloud-entity in its own language and frequency, the ship delves further into the cloud and is boarded by a beam of energy which tries to access the ship's records on Starfleet and Earth defenses. Spock damages the computer so the beam cannot gather any more information, but is attacked by the beam, which then seems to envelop Lt. Ilia and disappears from the ship, leaving no trace of Ilia. The Enterprise is trapped inside an enclosed, solid space within the cloud, and Ilia turns up again soon afterward, but this time as a puppet of the cloud-entity, identified by the now-dehumanized Ilia as V'ger. Curious to find more about V'ger, Spock steals a spacesuit and a thruster pack and launches himself into a small opening through which the Enterprise cannot travel, and finds himself floating through the memories of V'ger's entire journey through the universe, eventually coming to an image of Ilia as she was before V'ger's invasion of the bridge. Spock tries to mind-meld with V'ger through the image, but the staggering amounts of V'ger's memory and thought overloads Spock's mind, and he is ejected back to the Enterprise, where he is recovered and given medical attention. The Ilia-probe tells Kirk that V'ger is on its way to Earth to find its own creator, although V'ger refuses to believe that its creator could be a member of the human race, which it intends to wipe out, if necessary, to complete its search. The cloud has reached Earth and is ready to commence with its task. When Kirk promises the Ilia-probe that he has the information V'ger seeks, V'ger releases the Enterprise and draws it to the center of the cloud, where V'ger itself rests. Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Decker, led by Ilia, find that V'ger is, in fact, a NASA Voyager space probe that was encountered by a race of intelligent machines and, taking the probe's instructions - to learn all it can and report its findings back its creator - literally, the machines created the cloud-vessel as a means for Voyager to return to Earth and deliver its wealth of information. But the probe is unwilling to transmit its information on command, demanding to become one with its creator. Decker manually forces Voyager to transmit its information, but is absorbed by a wave of energy when V'ger believes its creator - the only being who could operate it - has arrived. Kirk, Spock and McCoy rush back to the Enterprise just in time. The cloud dissipates, leaving the Enterprise in orbit over Earth. Kirk and Spock speculate that Decker's emotions concerning his relationship with Ilia, the loss of his command of the Enterprise, and other feelings will transform V'ger into a new life form that the Federation may meet again in the future.

Sowards directed by Nicholas Meyer music by James Horner (Crescendo GNP cassette & CD # GNPD 8022) Stardate 8130.4: "Captain" Saavik, a Vulcan lieutenant in Starfleet, manages to lose to the Kobayashi Maru simulator's preprogrammed no-win situation, like every other cadet ever to take the test (with a single exception). Spock, now Captain of the Enterprise, returns to the ship to prepare for Kirk's upcoming prelaunch inspection after dismissing the students from the simulator exercise. Kirk returns home and is visited by Dr. McCoy, who, after presenting him with a birthday present, tells Kirk that his abilities are wasted on a desk job and that he should resume his command of a starship. USS Reliant, on assignment searching for lifeless planets as potential test sites for the top secret Genesis project, arrives at Ceti Alpha V. Beaming down, Captain Terrell and his first officer, Commander Chekov, discover a series of cargo bays formerly of the SS Botany Bay, a vessel full of genetically engineered supermen from late 20th century Earth led by the cunning Khan. Chekov urges Terrell to return to the Reliant, but they are captured by Khan and his followers. Khan, after fifteen years, is still seeking revenge against Kirk for exiling the Botany Bay's crew. Khan infests Chekov and Terrell with Ceti eels, which affect the brain and make their victims susceptible to suggestion, although the eels' victims will eventually go mad and die painfully. Khan hijacks the Reliant and has Chekov contact space station Regula 1, where the Genesis project is being developed by Dr. Carol Marcus, an old flame of Kirk's, along with a team of scientists including her son David. Chekov says that Kirk has ordered the Genesis device to be transferred to the Reliant upon arrival for immediate testing. David Marcus fears the worst, always suspicious of Starfleet's motives concerning the Genesis project. Carol contacts Kirk while the Enterprise is on a cadet cruise. Kirk takes command of the ship and sets it on a course to the station. En route, Kirk, Spock and McCoy review a presentation prepared by Carol which reveals that the Genesis "torpedo" is a device which will, when fired on a lifeless planet, restructure it into a verdant, life-supporting world ready for colonization. The Enterprise arrives at Regula 1 and is fired upon by the Reliant, which, since the shields were not raised in the presence of a presumably friendly ship, causes critical damage to the Enterprise and kills many of the unprepared cadets. Khan reveals himself and demands that Kirk surrender himself, but Kirk bluffs Khan into giving him time to consider. Kirk overrides Reliant's shields by remote control and returns fire, forcing Khan to retreat. Kirk, Saavik and McCoy beam down to the space station, finding most of the scientists slaughtered and the Genesis device missing. They do find Chekov and Terrell, apparently left for dead by Khan although the Reliant officers are actually keeping an eye on Kirk for their master. Deducing that the Genesis team must have had an underground test site on the dead planetoid Regula that the station orbits, Kirk gambles on beaming down into the surface under the station. There, they find the Genesis device, but are ambushed by David and one of the other scientists. Terrell kills the other scientist, and then contacts Khan, who orders Terrell and Chekov to kill Kirk. Terrell goes mad and kills himself, while Chekov collapses and the Ceti eel vacates his body. Khan beams the Genesis device up to Reliant. McCoy begins tending to Chekov as Kirk and Carol discuss why David - their son - remained with Carol and became a scientist himself. They all go deeper into the test area and find a lush cave with vegetation and a waterfall, created by a fraction of the Genesis device's power. Kirk then reveals to Saavik that he became the only cadet in history to beat the Kobayashi Maru test by reprogramming the simulator, which elicits a comment from David that Kirk has never had to deal with death on a personal basis. Reliant returns to the station after makeshift repairs, but the Enterprise is nowhere to be seen. The Enterprise, apparently contradicting the repair estimates of an earlier communication between Kirk and Spock which Kirk realized that Khan would be eavesdropping on, arrives and retrieves Kirk and the others while hiding behind the other side of Regula. Kirk orders the ship into the nearby Mutara Nebula, where sensors of both ships will not function. Khan is unable to resist the chance to pursue, and plunges into the nebula behind the Enterprise. In the ensuing battle, the Enterprise's warp drive is damaged. Sulu manages a few lucky shots of his own, crippling the Reliant and killing most of Khan's crew, but the dying Khan is unwilling to admit defeat and prepares to detonate the Genesis device at point blank range, which will destroy both ships. Scotty is unable to repair the engines, and Spock rushes to engineering without a word to anyone (except for what seems to be a very quick mind-meld with Dr. McCoy), forgoing safety precautions and entering the radiation-saturated engine chamber to repair the warp engines. When Spock finishes his task, Kirk orders the ship out of the nebula at top speed. The Reliant explodes, initiating the full Genesis effect on Regula, as Kirk, receiving a message from McCoy, hurries to engineering only to see Spock die from massive radiation poisoning. Spock's body is loaded into a torpedo casing, which is fired at the Genesis planet. David admits that he may have misjudged Kirk and says he is proud to be his son, while the crew reflects on Spock's sacrifice and the marvel of Regula's transformation into a world of its own.

Most of the trainees have been reassigned to other ships by now, and Kirk is still mourning the death of Spock. Arriving at spacedock, the crew also sees the USS Excelsior, a ship much larger than the Enterprise which has the faster transwarp propulsion system. But before the ship can rest easy, someone breaks into Spock's cabin, which Kirk had declared off-limits. Kirk goes there himself and hears Spock's voice asking why his body was left on the Genesis planet. Kirk finds that McCoy, on the edge of a nervous breakdown, is the trespasser. On arrival, Admiral Morrow reveals that the Enterprise is to be decommissioned instead of repaired, and also tells the crew that the Genesis device has become a hot topic in the Federation and a topic not to be discussed openly. Scotty is made Captain of engineering for the Excelsior, and the rest of the crew are promised extended leave. Klingon Captain Kruge, having obtained an illegal copy of the Genesis proposal from a pirate vessel (which he then destroyed), orders his ship, a new Klingon Bird of Prey armed with a cloaking device, to the Genesis planet to investigate the device's potential as a weapon for the Klingons. At the same time, the USS Grissom, with its new science officer Saavik and Genesis specialist David Marcus, arrives at the planet and detects life signs near the torpedo tube in which Spock's body had been disposed. Kirk and his officers, minus the hospitalized McCoy, relax at Kirk's home when Sarek, Spock's father, visits. Sarek mind-melds with Kirk in search of Spock's katra - his spirit. Revealing that Vulcans can pass their spirits on to others when their bodies are near death, Sarek admits that Kirk does not possess Spock's spirit. Kirk checks ship's logs and sees that Spock did, in fact, pass his katra on - to McCoy. Sarek tells him that McCoy must be taken to Vulcan so that Spock can be released into a body of his own. After arguing with Captain Esteban, Saavik and David get permission to beam down, where they find that the life form is a kind of giant slug, probably having developed from microbes on the torpedo's surface. But they also find the body of Spock missing, and the planet seems very unstable, with extreme weather conditions isolated in random geological locations. Kirk tries to get permission from Admiral Morrow to return to Genesis and retrieve Spock's body, but is unable to convince Morrow of the validity of Vulcan mysticism. McCoy, in the meantime, tries to hire a private ship from an alien merchant in a bar, but is removed by Starfleet agents when he begins to argue loudly with the alien about going to Genesis. McCoy is put in detention, where Kirk visits him, and, with Sulu's help, distracts the guards and smuggles McCoy out of the holding area. Uhura, having taken an assignment at a transporter station, beams Kirk, McCoy and Sulu to the Enterprise, where Chekov is waiting. Scotty, in the meantime, has divided his time between sabotaging the Excelsior's warp drive and preparing the Enterprise for operation by a minimal crew. Kirk and the others, minus Uhura, who plans to travel to Vulcan with Sarek, steal the Enterprise from spacedock. Captain Stiles and the Excelsior are ordered to pursue, but Scotty has disabled the larger ship's supposedly superior capabilities. The Enterprise continues unchecked toward Genesis. On the planet, Saavik and David follow more life form readings through a zone of arctic cold until they hear the cries of a child, who turns out to be a very young Vulcan male. They contact the ship with a theory that the Genesis wave may have resurrected Spock. Before allowing the landing party to return, Captain Esteban tries to contact Starfleet but communications are jammed. Kruge's ship uncloaks and attacks, and the Grissom, a small vessel meant only for scientific duties, is destroyed with a single shot, leaving David, Saavik and the young Spock marooned. Kruge and a party of his men beam down to find them and interrogate them about the Genesis device. While trying to elude the Klingons, David reveals to Saavik that he took some shortcuts with the development of Genesis, resulting in the planet's abnormalities and a dangerous acceleration of the age of the planet as well as all life-forms present during the Genesis detonation - meaning the childlike Spock. Spock's rapid aging means that the male Vulcan's mating drive that normally strikes every seven years of adulthood will occur with greater frequency in his accelerated development and will also bring periods of instability to the planet. The Enterprise arrives at Genesis, where it is awaited by Kruge's Bird of Prey, which cannot fire while cloaked. Sulu detects the ship despite the cloaking device and fires before the Klingons can attack. Kruge beams up from Genesis and takes charge of the battle. firing back at the Enterprise and destroying most of Scotty's automatic systems. Kruge - after one of the Klingons remaining on the surface kills David - forces a grief-stricken and enraged Kirk to surrender. Kirk sets the Enterprise to self-destruct and, with the others, abandons ship and beams down to Genesis just as most of Kruge's men board the Enterprise. Kruge realizes what is about to happen, but not in time to save his crew. The Enterprise destroys itself and the Klingons aboard, and the debris plunges into the atmosphere of the Genesis planet as Kirk and the others do away with the Klingon guards left on the surface. Kruge has the last remaining member of his crew beam him to the planet, where Kirk promises to give him the secrets of Genesis in exchange for beaming the others to Kruge's ship. Kirk and Kruge fight furiously as the planet begins to tear itself apart, and Kirk manages to kick his Klingon opponent off a cliff and beams up to the Bird of Prey. The last Klingon is taken prisoner, and the ship is set on a course for Vulcan. Sarek and Uhura greet Kirk and the others on Vulcan, now carrying Spock's body which had, before leaving Genesis, grown to roughly the same age as it was when Spock died. McCoy and Spock are taken to the Vulcan High Priestess, who performs a dangerous ritual to return Spock's mind to his body and free McCoy from the effects of Spock's katra. The process is successful, and McCoy is restored to health. Spock, however, will have to be re-educated on Vulcan, and will never be exactly the same again. Kirk and the others decide to stay on Vulcan for a time and receive political asylum from Sarek. Many events in this movie resurface again. The loss of David creates an even stronger prejudice against Klingons in Kirk than ever before, which nearly proves to be fatal in "Star Trek VI." The Excelsior, whose transwarp drive proves to be a failure, makes a dramatic comeback in "Trek VI" under a new captain, while the fact that Spock's personality changes drastically as a result of being re-educated by Vulcans rather than his human mother is addressed in "Star Trek IV" and "Star Trek V." Merritt Butrick, who appeared in this movie, "Star Trek II," and one episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," died of AIDS in 1988.

The Ambassador promises that there will be no peace between the Klingons and Federation while Kirk lives. In the meantime, Kirk and the rest of his crew, excluding Saavik, who stays behind, leave Vulcan in their hijacked Bird of Prey, which McCoy has renamed the "Bounty." While en route to Earth, they receive an emergency transmission informing them that Earth's defenses have been neutralized by a huge vessel of unknown origin, and that the alien ship is beginning to destroy the atmosphere and oceans, all the time transmitting indecipherable sounds. Analyzing a recording of the sounds transmitted by the alien ship, Spock determines that the probe can not be responded to because the sounds are apparently analogous to songs sung by humpback whales - extinct in the 23rd century. Kirk decides to risk a slingshot around the sun to send the Bounty into a time warp to Earth of the past and bring back enough whales to repopulate the species and, more importantly, respond to the probe. The Bounty lands in San Francisco, 1986, and the crew splits into three teams. Kirk and a thinly disguised Spock set out to find the whales, which Kirk decides to take from the Cetacean Institute, a museum devoted to whales. There, Kirk meets Dr. Gillian Taylor as she leads a tour of the Institute, during which she shows off the Institute's two whales, George and Gracie. Gillian also reveals that the whales will have to be released into the open sea due to the cost of keeping them in captivity. Spock dives into the whale tank and mind-melds with one of the whales, finding that Gracie is pregnant, but Gillian throws them out of the Institute, only to find them walking back to Golden Gate Park and picks them up again. Chekov and Uhura find the Navy's USS Enterprise and sneak in to collect photon spillage from the ship's nuclear reactor in order to replenish the dilithium crystals on the Bounty for the return trip to the 23rd century, while Scotty, Sulu and McCoy seek out the materials necessary to build a tank for the whales and their water in the Bounty. Scotty's team visits a plexiglas factory, where he trades the "recipe" for transparent aluminum (common in the 23rd century) in for the necessary materials and the loan of a helicopter to return the tank walls to the Bounty. (Scotty insists no damage is being done to history - perhaps the director of the factory to whom Scotty revealed the "secret" is the inventor!) Uhura and Chekov gather the necessary energy to ready the Bounty for its next time warp, but they are detected on the carrier. Chekov gives Uhura the collection device and has her beamed back to the Bounty, while he is captured and briefly interrogated. Chekov escapes again, but is seriously wounded and taken to a hospital. Kirk, having befriended Gillian and learned how upset she is that "her" whales are about to be turned loose, gets the frequency to radio tags that the whales will be carrying so scientists can track them, but even Gillian doesn't know the exact location to which the whales will be taken. Kirk receives the news of Chekov's injury and, with McCoy, mounts a rescue operation which will require the help of Gillian. They enter the hospital disguised as surgeons, and McCoy performs a quick fix returning Chekov to normal after expressing alarm that 20th century medicine would have called for a hole to be drilled into Chekov's skull. They "kidnap" Chekov from the hospital and take him back to the Bounty, where Gillian stows away by jumping Kirk just as he is beamed aboard. The Bounty lifts off and reaches the whales' coordinates in the Pacific, only to find a whaling ship is in hot pursuit of George and Gracie. Kirk orders the Bounty to decloak, which frightens the poachers away while the two whales are beamed aboard. The Bounty makes it back to the 23rd century and crash-lands in San Francisco Bay after being disabled by the probe, and Kirk releases the whales into the ocean. George and Gracie re-establish contact between Earth's whales and the aliens - a dialogue which had been in progress before man even existed - and Gillian begins her new life as a Federation cetacean biology specialist. Kirk and the others are exonerated for all charges against them concerning the theft and destruction of the starship Enterprise, except for Kirk, who is demoted to Captain and given command of a new, more advanced vessel: the new Enterprise, NCC-1701-A. Often, the version of the "past" presented in "Star Trek" in the 1960s dealt with events still in the future, such as the Eugenics Wars mentioned in "Space Seed," supposedly in the late 1990s. Happily enough, such events have not taken place (though, on the other hand, one could argue that the late 90s still haven't arrived...), and a similar inaccuracy, though it didn't exist when the movie was first released, now occurs in "Star Trek IV." Though in 1986, while the story was being written and filmed, there was still a Leningrad and still a Soviet Union, those officially ceased to exist in 1991 with the advent of the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the city of Leningrad was promptly restored to its original name - St. Petersburg.

A renegade Vulcan - apparently breaking from the tradition of his race and embracing emotions and impulses - has generated a strong following on the planet and takes the three ambassadors hostage. The Vulcan, Sybok, then sends a message to the delegates' governments, demanding a fair hearing of his demands in exchange for the hostages' lives. A Klingon vessel, commanded by trigger-happy Captain Klaa, heads for Nimbus III with Klaa spoiling for a fight with the legendary Enterprise. The Enterprise arrives first, and Kirk mounts a rescue operation involving distracting the guards, but he finds himself being held at gunpoint by the hostages he was meant to rescue, Kirk realizes that the affair has been a trap. Sybok now intends to hijack the Enterprise, and succeeds in earning the loyalty of Sulu, Uhura and Chekov by "releasing" them from painful memories in their lives. Sybok sets the Enterprise on a course to the Great Barrier at the center of the galaxy, where he believes he will find the mythical planet Sha Ka Ree and, according to Sybok's theory, that world's inhabitant - God. Surviving the supposedly deadly trip through the barrier, the Enterprise arrives at an uncharted planet, convincing many of the ship's crew that Sybok may be right. In their excitement, no one notices that Klaa's ship is now arriving at Sha Ka Ree as well. Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Sybok fly a shuttle to the surface and, although initially finding no sign of life, encounter the projection of an enormous face which claims to be God and greets Sybok. However, when the being insists that the Enterprise be brought in close enough that he may meld with it for the journey beyond the Great Barrier, Kirk is suspicious and questions the being's authenticity. The creature lashes out at Kirk and Spock when they doubt his identity, and Sybok realizes that it is not God. Grappling with the entity so that the others may escape, Sybok gives Kirk time to order a torpedo fired at the creature, but it is not easily killed. When they return to the shuttle, Kirk, Spock and McCoy discover that it has been crippled by the creature, and Kirk orders Scotty to beam Spock and McCoy up. As soon as they have safely returned to the Enterprise, Klaa opens fire on the Enterprise, damaging the transporters once more. Spock convinces General Koord, the Klingon delegate from Nimbus III and one of Sybok's recent converts, to use his rank to commandeer Klaa's ship and rescue Kirk. Koord agrees, and Spock takes over the gunner's seat on the Klingon ship to destroy the God impostor in time to save Kirk. The Klingons and the Enterprise leave Sha Ka Ree peacefully (and after profuse apologies from Klaa), offering some hope for a peaceful future, in which the formerly disgruntled Nimbus III delegates promise to take a more active interest. Although the movie's end seemed to touch on a Federation peace with the Klingons, the situation obviously was a small instance of cooperation between the two, as "Star Trek VI" indicated that they were still deadly enemies. Cast: William Shatner (Captain Kirk), Leonard Nimoy (Spock), DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy), James Doohan (Scotty), Walter Koenig (Chekov), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), George Takei (Sulu), David Warner (St. John Talbot), Laurence Luckinbill (Sybok), Charles Cooper (Korrd), Cynthia Guow (Caithlin Dar), Todd Bryant (Captain Klaa), Spice Williams (Vixis), Rex Holman (J'onn), George Murdock ("God"), Jonathan Simpson (Young Sarek), Beverly Hart (Vulcan High Priestess), Steve Susskind (Pitchman), Harve Bennett (Starfleet Chief of Staff), Cynthia Blaise (Young Amanda), Bill Quinn (McCoy's Father), Melanie Shatner (Yeoman) 86 THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY Dec 6, 1991 screenplay by Nicholas Meyer and Denny Martin Flinn story by Leonard Nimoy and Lawrence Konner & Mark Rosenthal directed by Nicholas Meyer music by Cliff Eidelman (MCA cassette & CD # 10512) Stardate 9522.6: A colossal explosion on the Klingon moon Praxis sends intense shock waves through space, which are encountered by the USS Excelsior in its third year of duty under Captain Sulu. The Excelsior is damaged by the leading edge of the energy burst, but regains her balance. When offered assistance, the Klingons tell Sulu to mind his own business and stay out of their territory. Later, on Earth, the command crew of the Enterprise is invited to a top priority, high-security briefing at Starfleet Headquarters, where it is revealed that one of the Kligons' main sources of power, located on Praxis, released radiation that will eat away the Klingon homeworld's ozone layer in roughly fifty years, and the Klingons, whose economy is devoted entirely to military development, are unable to combat the deterioration of their planet without aid. Spock, acting as an ambassador, has opened the door for discussions with Chancellor Gorkon of the Klingon High Council, and has taken the liberty of volunteering Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise - both of which are three months away from mandatory retirement as Starfleet prepares to decommission the ship itself - for the duty of escorting Gorkon and his party to the first Federation-Klingon peace talks. Over dinner on the Enterprise, the Klingons and the Starfleet officers seem to be unable to avoid eventually insulting or offending each other, and General Chang seems more interested in Kirk's reputation as a warrior than in peace. The Klingons return to their ship, and shortly afterward, torpedoes from the Enterprise's direction pummel Gorkon's ship, and two figures in Federation spacesuits beam aboard and kill the Chancellor and many of the Klingon crew. Still unsure of what has happened - Scotty finds that none of the Enterprise's torpedoes have been fired - Kirk surrenders when Chang threatens to fire on the Enterprise point-blank. Kirk and McCoy beam over, where McCoy tries to save the dying Gorkon, but with Federation medicine's limited knowledge of Klingon anatomy, McCoy cannot prevent Gorkon's death. Kirk and McCoy are arrested and given a trial where Chang's unusual evidence - including entries from Kirk's personal log stating his distrust of Klingons since they killed his son - insinuates that Kirk was behind the assassination. Kirk and McCoy are sentenced to work for the rest of their lives in the dilithium mines on Rura Penthe. At Spock's command, the Enterprise conveniently develops a malfunction that prevents them from receiving Starfleet's order to return home while the crew searches for the equipment used by the two Starfleet officers who assassinated Gorkon. A few leads appear, but then are revealed to be false alarms - someone is deliberately trying to lead the investigation off track. In the meantime, Kirk and McCoy fight for their lives on Rura Penthe but are helped by exotic fellow prisoner Martia, who warns Kirk that even in the penal colony, there is a price on his head. Martia helps them escape, hoping that Kirk, who she says is the most attractive prisoner to appear in a long time, will repay her somehow. During their escape, Martia is revealed to be a shapeshifter, and perhaps not even a true female. Kirk realizes that the escape has been too easy and that Martia is the one out for he and McCoy. Martia changes into a copy of Kirk, but when the prison guards catch up, Kirk tricks them into shooting Martia instead. Bluffing their way past Klingon border guards, the Enterprise crew beams Kirk and McCoy up just before the two would have been executed. After returning to the Enterprise, Kirk and the others discover two dead crewmen - the assassins - and realize that there is one more conspirator. Kirk suggests laying a trap by announcing to the crew that the dead crewmen are alive and in sick bay awaiting the court reporter, which would lure the culprit to sick bay to kill the two crewmen before they could talk. The ploy works, and the conspirator is Lt. Valeris, Spock's trusted protege'. Spock forces a mind-meld with Valeris to find out who the main conspirators are, and discovers that Klingons and a member of the Federation top brass are already cooperating peacefully - to ensure that peace is destroyed by the assassination of the President of the Federation. Kirk contacts Captain Sulu, and their two ships head for Khitomer to save the President and reveal the conspirators, but time - and Chang's prototype Bird of Prey that can fire while cloaked (the real source of the attack on Gorkon's ship) - are against their efforts to save the negotiations. Although "Next Generation" was approaching its second season when "Trek V" was made, the film ignored the TV series. However, in "Trek VI," many "Next Generation" connections were present: a Klingon defense attorney (Michael Dorn) is briefly identified as Colonel Worf; Khitomer is the site of the 24th century Romulan attack on a Klingon colony, killing Lt. Worf's parents in "Next Generation" lore. Events in this movie happen at least 3 years after "Trek V," as Sulu states that he has commanded Excelsior for 3 years - though some reports place "Trek VI" 10 to 15 years later than "Trek V," which would better account for the crew's signs of age. The events in "Trek VI" were mentioned briefly in the "Next Generation" episodes "Unification," in which it is mentioned that Spock met a Romulan Senator Pardek at the Khitomer Conference. Also, some time after "Trek VI" and the 23rd century scenes of "Generations," Scotty, aboard a transport ship, encounters the enormous alien device which causes him to attempt a last-ditch maneuver to save his life, as told in the "Relics" episode of "Next Generation."

Moore & Brannon Braga directed by David Carson also see Next Generation #177 "Generations" music by Dennis McCarthy Stardate ????.?: Kirk, Scotty and Chekov are present for the christening of the newly constructed starship Enterprise NCC-1701-B, during which Kirk gives the first order to launch the ship. Shortly afterward, an emergency arises, and the new Enterprise is the only ship close enough to respond, despite the fact that it is untested and carries only a skeleton crew. The Enterprise is battered in an urgent mission to reach a smaller vessel and rescue her crew, and many of the doomed ship's survivors are pleading to go back from where they came, though it is obvious that they are not referring to their destroyed vessel. One of the survivors, Professor Soran, means to rediscover something amazing he found, something which caused the destruction of his ship. Another survivor, a mysterious woman named Guinan, will someday be aboard a ship called Enterprise again. As the Enterprise-B warps away from her first crisis, an energy remnant from the same phenomenon that destroyed the smaller ships strikes the Enterprise, and Kirk is killed - or at least he seems so to his colleagues...
