- Star Trek TOS/TAS Lists of Lists

- DISCLAIMER: "Star Trek", "Enterprise", and all other related items are
- copyright and trademarks of Paramount Communications. Any infringement of
- these lists on Paramount's legitimate copyright and trademarks is purely
- unintentional, and will be corrected upon proper notification. These lists are
- for the enjoyment of the reader only, and may not be sold.
- This is the Star Trek TOS/TAS List of Lists. It contains a listing of all
- the episodes for both the original and the animated Star Trek TV series, plus
- some added notes. (Due to the length considerations, there is a separate
- Movies, TNG, and DS9 List of Lists). This list comes out around the 1st of
- each month. However, events beyond my control may prevent the posting.
- If you are wondering why I compile these lists, it is strictly out of the
- enjoyment of "Star Trek", and have enjoyed the wealth of information from
- other Star Trek fans who post on the electronic networks. After being
- irritated by the ever constant requests for episode lists on Usenet, I decided
- that, in the middle of 1990, to post a list of episodes on a regular basis. It
- soon grew from that, and, with the contributions of other people, these lists
- grew to what you see today. (And still growing). The only payment I ask is
- thanks and contributions. I am not making a dime off these compilations.

- Episode synopsis by Edward Champion.
-
- First Season
- -==========-
- The pilot episode, "The Cage", was made as the first Star Trek pilot, which
- was seen originally by NBC executives. They rejected that pilot, but asked for
- a second pilot to be made ("Where No Man Has Gone Before"). Later on, in the
- first season, production delays required that, in one weeks time, two episodes
- had to be made. Thus, "The Cage" was edited and made a part of "The
- Menagerie". After this point, no complete copies of "The Cage" were believed
- to exist.
- In 1986, a black and white work print was found of "The Cage" in Paramount
- vaults. It was released by Paramount home video, which combined all related
- color footage from "The Menagerie" and filled in all of the gaps with the
- black and white print. (As a bonus, the tape included an introduction by Gene
- Roddenberry). Then, a NBC executive discovered that he had a full color copy
- of "The Cage" in his closet. In 1988, as a filler episode for TNG due to a
- writer's strike, Paramount aired "The Cage" as part of a two-hour program
- "From One Generation To The Next", which aired between October 3 and October
- 9. (Segments also included a sneak peek at Star Trek V, the introduction of
- Diana Muldaur as Dr. Pulaski, and scenes from the upcoming second season). The
- full-color "Cage" was released on home video to replace the hybrid B&W/Color
- copy.
- The first season aired on NBC on Thursday nights at 8:30 PM, under Desilu
- Studios.

-

-

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

- soft." Also, Spock paraphrases Matthew: "They remind me of the lilies of the
- field. They toil not, neither do they spin."
-
- "A Private Little War" - After Nona heals Kirk, she says "Our souls have been
- together."
-
- "Return to Tomorrow" - Sargon refers to Adam and Eve as possibly being

-

- January 20, 1920 - DeForest Kelley
- February 23, 1935 - Majel Barrett
- March 3, 1920 - James Doohan
- 22, 1931 - William Shatner

- September 14, 1938 - Walter Koenig
- October 15 - Mark Lenard
- December 28, 1936 - Nichelle Nichols
-
- Did you know . . .
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- . . . Nichelle Nichols was planning to leave Star Trek at the end of the first
- season, but was persuaded to stay by Martin Luther King, Jr.?
-
- . . . The Enterprise model is 11 feet in length, and weighs 200 pounds. The
- model is composed of plastic, wood, and rolled steel. The cost of materials,
- in 1964 dollars, was $600. The original designer of the ship is Walter "Matt"
- Jeffries, who based the ship's registry number, NCC-1701, on his 1935 Waco
- airplane (and whom the term "Jeffries Tubes" was invented for). After the
- series, the model was donated to the Smithsonian in 1974, and was restored due
- to the appearance of cracking paint, stress cracks, and failures in the
- lighting system. A "streaking effect" has been added to make a "weathered"
- look, but the paint has changed the model color from gray to green. The
- restoration process took six weeks.
-
- . . . That "Assignment: Earth" was originally a pilot for another series that
- Gene Roddenberry proposed but never got off the ground?
-
- . . . That "Patterns of Force" has never been aired in Germany due to its Nazi
- theme?
-
- . . . That Majel Barrett's real name is Majel Leigh Hudec. The name change was
- to fool NBC in order to hire her as Christine Chapel.
-
- . . . That "Plato's Stepchildren" was the first episode in television history
- to feature an interracial kiss?
-
- . . . In "Assignment: Earth", Spock, upon reviewing 1968 Earth history, says
- that "There will be an important assassination today." A few days after this
- episode originally aired, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed.
-
- . . . How the transporter effect was filmed:
- * Sprinkle glitter against a black background and shine a light through it.
- Film it.
- * Film the scene, first with the actor, then without (or vice versa)
- * Matte the glitter over the actor, and double-expose the film
-
- In-Jokes
- ~~~~~~~~
- "The Man Trap" - Sulu says a line written by Gene Roddenberry, "May the Great
- Bird of the Galaxy roost on our planet". After this reference was filmed, Gene
- Roddenberry got the nickname of the Great Bird.
-
- "The Trouble With Tribbles" - The writer, David Gerrold, came up with the idea
- independent of Heinlein. When Desilu or NBC discovered the crossover, Gene and
- David called up Heinlein, who simply laughed it off, then said to go ahead and
- use it.
-
- "The Ultimate Computer" - The term "human engrams" may possibly come from a L.
- Ron Hubbard novel.
-
- Operation SNAFU
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- "Charlie X" - Kirk enters a turbolift with the boy Charlie, en route to the
- bridge, wearing his usual uniform shirt with the badge on the left breast.
- When they emerge from the lift, Kirk is wearing his yellow-green wrap-around
- shirt with the badge down near the waist. Yet for the rest of the show (after
- the bridge scene and some shirtless scenes in the Enterprise gymnasium) he
- retains his usual shirt. (UV)
- Then, Charlie is on McCoy's examination table, actively peddling. We switch
- to a camera view of the indicator panel, where a reflection of Charlie is
- shown, with Charlie motionless. The camera then cuts back to Charlie, who is
- fully active. Then, back to the panel, where shows Charlie's reflection
- motionless, and then back to Charlie. (UV)
-
- "The Naked Time" - After Nurse Chapel infects spock with "the disease", Spock
- goes into the conference room to get control of his emotions. The doorplate on
- this room is on the LEFT side of the door. After Kirk enters, a bit of
- dramatics, Spock leaves, then Kirk leaves, we see that the doorplate has moved
- to the RIGHT side of the door. (UV)
-
- "The Enemy Within" - At the beginning of the episode, both the good and evil
- Kirk beam up without insignias on their uniforms. (UV) Strange clothing
- changes. (UV)
-
- "What Are Little Girls Made Of" - Strange clothing changes. (UV)
-
- "The Menagerie" - The ONLY door handle seen in a Federation setting (ship or
- starbase, etc.) was on the door to Christopher Pike's quarters, which was kind
- of ironic, since he's about the only person who COULDN'T use a door handle!
- (V)
- Also, during the trial, every senior officer, including McCoy, is wearing
- dress uniforms, except for Scott, who is wearing his regular uniform. (UV)
-
- "Shore Leave" - As you watch the Kirk/Finnegan fight, ask yourself when Kirk's
- tunic gets ripped. You'll notice that just before we fade to a commercial, the
- camera is on Kirk, who is down and out, and his tunic is perfectly whole.
- Camera cuts to Finnegan, who is standing over Kirk, gloating. The camera cuts
- back to Kirk, whose tunic is ripped to shreads, and we fade to a commercial.
- (UV) Maybe Kirk is Jewish, and "rents" his garment in anguish....
- Also, when Spock is beaming down, Sulu says, "Look, someone is beaming down
- from the bridge." How could they determine that someone was beaming down from
- the bridge, never mind that it wasn't possible in TOS times.
-
- "The Galileo Seven" - After Boma leaves to prepare for one of the burials, the
- camera stays on the shuttlecraft door as it closes. A propman's hand is very
- visible on the lower part of the door, guiding it into place. (UV)
-
- "The Squire Of Gothos" - Trelane sees Earth's history about 900 years late,
- and talks about Alexander's Hamilton's death (July 12, 1804), and how he had
- admired Napoleon (who reigned from November 9, 1799-April 11, 1814; March
- 20-June 18, 1815). This places the episode at around the 2700's, about a few
- hundred years after when TNG is stated to occur. (UV)
-
- "Arena" - When Kirk and Spock are taking cover, at the beginning, behind a
- destroyed section of wall, every time Kirk leans against the wall, it moves as
- if it's a styrofoam prop. (UV)
-
- "Tomorrow is Yesterday" - In the closing credits, Captain Christopher is
- listed as a Major.
-
- "Court Martial" - Kirk says "Gentlemen, this computer has an auditory sensor.
- It can, in effect, hear sounds. By installing a booster we can increase that
- capability on the order of one to the fourth power." Hmmmm, either the writers
- or William Shatner seemed to think that it sound more impressive than just
- plain old "one". And, I guess we have to assume that both the voices and the
- other ship noises were masked out just like those heartbeats. (UV)
-
- "Space Seed" - As Kirk is bashing in Khan's glass coffin, his phaser falls off
- his belt. McCoy keeps looking down at it, like he's wondering when they're
- going to yell 'cut' so they can re-shoot the scene. They never did re-shoot
- because they didn't want to invest in more glass. (V)
-
- "The City On The Edge Of Forever" - Clark Gable's first film was made in 1930,
- by which time he was hardly a major star, and it would hardly have seemed
- strange that Kirk and McCoy might not have heard of him. "Good Night,
- Sweetheart" wasn't written until 1931.
-
- "Amok Time" - At the marriage ceremony as Spock is going up to hit the gong we
- get two shots of this happening. In the first shot, from the view of T'Pau,
- Spock starts moving toward the gong and then on the right we see T'Pring start
- moving to issue the Kah-if-farr. Then, there is a cut looking at the face of
- T'Pring, who in this scene is standing still. After a second, T'Pring starts
- to move forward to issue the challenge. Nothing too bad but I have to look at
- something. Yeah, that scene has several well-known continuity errors. The most
- graphic one is a long shot of the set during Kirk's talk with T'Pau, where we
- see Nimoy leaning against a wall when, continuity-wise, Spock is supposedly
- kneeling, deep in "plak tow." It's also easy to see stage lights in a couple
- of scenes. (UV)
- Plus, when Spock goes to bang that gong, it rings before it's hit. (UV)
- Also, T'Pau speaks to everyone else in Elizabethan/Shakespearean/King James
- English -- to a point of using "thee" and "thy". However, she never uses
- "thou", but, incorrectly uses thee. Spock even uses this incorrectly in one
- instance.
-
- "Mirror, Mirror" - In the beginning of the episode, Kirks calls up the
- Enterprise, requests beam up, and puts the communicator back on his belt.
- During the partial materialization on the transporter room, the communicator
- is in Kirk's hand with the antenna grid fully open. Then, when the landing
- party materializes fully in the mirror universe, the communicator is back on
- Kirk's belt. (UV)
-
- "The Doomsday Machine" - There is at least one side shot of the device where
- the stars can be seen through the far side of the maw. (UV) Also, Scotty loses
- is brogue for one line. (UV) Also, while the Constellation is being flown into
- the doomsday machine, the model looks as if it was bumped. (UV)
-
- "Obsession" - When Captain Kirk fights an ensign for the right to remain on
- the planet, Kirk tosses the ensign against a very solid rock. However, when
- that ensign is tossed against that same rock for a second time, that rock is
- not so solid and rolls slightly in the manner of a piece of plastic painted to
- look like a rock. (UV)
-
- "A Private Little War" - In the closing credits, the Mugato is listed in the
- closing credits as Gumato.
-
- "Patterns of Force" - After Kirk and Spock enter the Zeon hideaway, Spock
- repairs a communicator which was disassembled by the Ekosians. As he tries to
- test it, he gives the wrist flip, but the antenna grid doesn't open. Spock
- glances down and opens it by hand. (UV)
-
- "The Omega Glory" - Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are seated and bound, speculating
- that the Yangs are Yankees and Cohms are Communists. When the camera is on the
- three of them, Kirk's hair is parted one way, yet, when there is a close-up
- shot of Kirk, his hair is parted another way. (UV)
-
- "Is There In Truth No Beauty?" - At the beginning of the episode, it is
- established that humans, even with the red visor would go mad if they saw the
- ambassador being transported aboard. However, at the end of the episode, Kirk
- watches the ambassador being beamed out without the visor. Kirk should have
- gone mad at this point.
-
- "The Lights Of Zetar" - Kirk has Romaine put into the pressure chamber in sick
- bay, and has the pressure increased by one atmosphere per second. At that
- rate, she would have been crushed like a bug in a minute. (UV)
-
- "The Way to Eden" - Although not an actual snafu, Adam's hand twitches after
- he was "dead". However, many muscular spasms do occur after death. (UV) Also,
- there is a short bit where the film is backwards, and Kirk's insignia appears
- on the wrong side of the shirt. (UV)
-
- "The Cloud Miners" - When Kirk and Spock are first captured by the miners,
- Kirk says something like, "What's the meaning of this?", but his mouth doesn't
- move. (UV)
-
- - Hmmmm.... In "Balance of Terror", Spock says that something called "cast
- rodinium" is the hardest substance known to Federation science, and yet, was
- pulverized by the Romulan weapon. Yet, in "The Doomsday Machine", Spock says
- that there is no known way of blasting through solid neutronium. In "Arena",
- diamonds are "the hardest known substance", but in "Obsession", a rock
- substance is "twenty times as hard as diamonds. (V)
-
- Where's Scotty's Finger?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- James Doohan is missing the middle finger of his right hand. During World
- War II, he served in the Royal Canadian Artillery (not the air force, although
- he flew - like a maniac - often) for six years and two months and lead the
- fifth Landing Craft Assault. He was on the ground when his middle finger
- caught three bullets; the head wound and other wounds did no damage. He then
- became a flight instructor before leaving the military in October of 1945.
- However, if you look at his hand, you'll see a faint red streak, indicating
- the entire metacarpal bone was surgically removed. Usually, if Scotty's hands
- were called for in a script to operate the transporter, we cut to a shot of
- someone else's hands. Usually, we'll see Scotty's hands behind some object or
- side on. However, here are some scenes where the missing finger is visible:
-
- "The Apple" - Scotty's clenched fist. (UV)
-
- "The Trouble With Tribbles" - After Kirk notices what he got for his chicken
- sandwich and coffee, Scotty walks in carrying a whole bundle of tribbles. The
- missing finger is clearly noticeable. (V)
-
- "Star Trek IV" - When McCoy hands Scotty the mouse in Dr. Nichols' office,
- Scotty lack of digitude is noticable for a second. (UV)
-
- "Star Trek V" - When Uhura tosses Scotty the bag of food, the missing finger
- is noticable.

- Beyond
- The rim of star-light
- My love
- Is wand'ring in star flight

- He'll find in star-clustered reaches

- I know
- His journey end never
- His star trek
- Will go on forever.
- But tell him
- While he wanders his starry sea
- Remember, remember me.

- Eugene Wesley "Gene" Roddenberry
- August 19, 1921 - October 24, 1991
-
- He created a legend which continues on today, creating a show that has helped
- believe that there was a future worth living for. He showed us that space is
- not just for space battles, but for learning new ideas and ways of thinking,
- and, indirectly, has done more for civil rights and the space program than
- Martin Luther King, Jr. and John F. Kennedy. Gene will be missed, but will not
- be forgotten.
