| 4 | ALL OUR YESTERDAYS | .770 | .702 | |
| A rescue mission to Sarpeidon (a planet whose sun is about to [super]nova) results in Kirk, Spock, and McCoy being sent to various areas of the planet's past. Kirk is to be tried as a witch, but eventually gets back to the present with the help of another time-leaper. Spock and McCoy are sent to a glacial age. Spock falls in love with Zarabeth, a redhead convict, who was sent back into the glacial age as punishment. The librarian (Mr. AtoZ) runs the time machine with android clones of himself. You put a disc of the time period you want to travel to and jump through a portal. The discs look surprisingly a lot like compact discs! | ||||
| 6 | THE ALTERNATIVE FACTOR | .100 | .170 | |
| Lazarus is a schizophrenic time traveler whose personalities are fighting each other through time and space. There is a rip in the space/time fabric and Lazarus seems to be the key to the anomaly. There's a fire in engineering started by Lazarus to steal dilithium crystals (which he needs to power his ship in order to kill his alternate personality). | ||||
| 8 | AMOK TIME | .780 | .826 | |
| The Enterprise is headed for Altair 6 for a presidential inauguration (that Star Fleet Command says they must attend or it will cause a disturbance that will create ripples felt all the way to the Klingon Empire). Spock steals the Enterprise and goes to Vulcan to take a wife (T'Pring, the woman to whom he was betrothed), due to Pon Farr, the instinctive Vulcan mating cycle which strikes adult male Vulcans every seven years. T'Pring doesn't want to marry Spock, so she calls for Kunut Kalifee, a fight to the death. Spock and Kirk end up fighting for T'Pring. T'Pau (a high-ranking (female) Vulcan official) oversees the ceremony. McCoy complains that the fight wouldn't be fair to Kirk because of the thin Vulcan atmosphere. T'Pau allows him to give Kirk a triox compound to compensate, but he gives Kirk a neural paralyzer instead. This makes it appear as if Spock has actually killed Kirk (since he appears dead). They beam Kirk's body back up to the ship and McCoy revives him. | ||||
| 10 | AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD | .010 | .050 | |
| A group of brats under the leadership of the Friendly Angel steal the Enterprise, after killing their parents. The Friendly Angel convinced them that with their parents out of the way they'd be able to have much more fun. The children play on the secret fears of the crew to make them imagine things that aren't there (e.g.: Sulu sees knives coming at the screen and refuses to change course.) Kirk eventually convinces the brats that they miss their parents by showing them visual recordings of them playing on the planet. | ||||
| 12 | THE APPLE | .440 | .216 | |
| The Enterprise is under attack by Vaal, a big stone idol that the primitive natives feed. It is really a machine that guides the actions and environment of the populace. There are no children on the planet. Everyone speaks perfect English except they don't know the words "children" or "love". The natives laugh at Spock's speech. | ||||
| 14 | ARENA | .660 | .652 | |
| The Gorns (a race of lizard-like beings) destroyed the Federation's Cestus 3 outpost. The Enterprise is in pursuit, when Kirk and the Gorn commander are transported to a planet by the Metrons (a highly advanced race who live 1500+ year lives) for a duel to the death, winner is allowed to leave with his ship. The two ships are allowed to view the battle on viewer screens. Kirk wins, but refuses to kill the Gorn, saying that they can probably talk out their differences. | ||||
| 16 | ASSIGNMENT: EARTH | .650 | .709 | |
| The Enterprise travels back in time ("using the light speed breakaway method") to 1968 on a historical research mission. A plot develops when they accidentally intercept a long-range (1000 light years away) transporter beam. Gary Seven, along with his cat Isis, were on their way to Earth from a hidden planet to check on the development of his fellow agents who were supposed to sabotage and destroy a U.S. nuclear warhead [or was it an orbiting nuclear platform?] to prevent World War Three. He claims to have been taken from Earth ages ago by another planet. Kirk must decide if he is telling the truth or if he is a time-travelling saboteur. Gary Seven finds out that his fellow agents died in a car accident and decides to finish their mission. Miss Lincoln is a bimbo secretary of his deceased agent cohorts. | ||||
| 18 | BALANCE OF TERROR | .440 | .809 | |
| Kirk matches wits against the Romulan commander, trying to guess his next moves, after following a shadow into the neutral zone near where some outposts were destroyed. Now the Romulans have a cloaking device and superior weapons, but the Enterprise has superior speed (to the point that they can almost out-run the photon torpedoes [or were these just Romulan energy disruptors?]!) An Enterprise crew member (Mr Styles) is prejudiced against Spock when they see that Romulans look like Vulcans. The two races were once a single race according to Spock. | ||||
| 20 | BREAD AND CIRCUSES | .680 | .554 | |
| The crew of the Enterprise encounter an alternate Earth where Rome never fell. Looks Roman except for 20th century technology. Spock and McCoy are used to fight locals for a television show with canned audience response. | ||||
| 22 | BY ANY OTHER NAME | .890 | .608 | |
| An alien race known as the Kelvans come from the Andromeda galaxy over many generations and wreck their ship. Pretty stupid, huh? Their galaxy is becoming unlivable, so they wish to take the Milky Way for themselves by force. They steal the Enterprise and turn the crew into cubes. They take human form to save on the budget of the show, but now are getting human emotions and senses. | ||||
| 24 | THE CAGE | .325 | .325 | |
| Captain Christopher Pike, his first officer Number One, and science officer Spock, are shown on board the Starship Enterprise on a mission to Vega where they were going to heal some Earth-folks. They respond to a distress call on Talos IV, where they find the remaining crew of an earlier Earth exploration (on the USS Columbia) which crashed on the planet. The colonists are all aging (male) scientists except for Vina, who is a cute, blonde who was born around the time they crashed (about 18 years back). The Enterprise crew soon realize that the whole colony is a fake as the Talosians take Pike and Vina down an elevator to their zoo, where they have various races that they are studying. Pike refuses to live out any fantasies that the Talosian Buttheads want him to (especially mating fantasies), so the Buttheads bring down Number One and another woman from the Enterprise (which prompts Spock to exclaim "The Women!!!") Pike doesn't want to mate with them either, so the Buttheads are wondering if they'll *ever* find a race to succeed them (the Buttheads are dying out because they're so smart that they are bored silly). Pike finally gets out of his cage, sees that Vina is horribly disfigured and wants to stay on the planet, and allows her to stay (along with her fake beauty and a hologram of Pike). | ||||
| 26 | THE CORBOMITE MANEUVER | .440 | .522 | |
| To stave off an attack by an alien vessel, Kirk concocts the now-famous "Corbomite" bluff. Charting uncharted space, the Enterprise comes upon a warning buoy in the form of a rotating cube. They decide not to heed its warning and continue onward. A short guy in huge ship with smaller separatable ship offers tranja and "demonstrates superiority" by turning off visual on the Enterprise. Spock learns poker and the art of bluffing. Bailey is a weapon-happy dork who wants to shoot the buoy and anything else that moves. | ||||
| 28 | CATSPAW | .440 | .381 | |
| Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, and Sulu are thrown in a dungeon by Korob and Sylvia (black cat) to trick Kirk into giving them further scientific information. They probed their minds and reached the subconscious instead of the conscious, so are unaware that the Halloween charade they are putting on is not the norm for humans. They hang a toy Enterprise over a flame and the Enterprise becomes hot; also put a force field around it. Three witches. | ||||
| 30 | THE CHANGELING | .560 | .442 | |
| An ancient Earth probe Nomad collided with an alien biology probe (The Other) and both were damaged. It rebuilt itself as one probe, incredibly powerful, and thinks its mission is to sterilize all imperfect life forms. Kirk talks it into blowing itself up. | ||||
| 32 | CHARLIE X | .015 | .241 | |
| A teenager, raised by aliens and possessing some of their unusual powers, proves incapable of adjusting to human society and emotions. Charlie kills three, and erases another woman's face (but brings at least one of the people back. He killed 20 on the SS Antares. Charlie has the hots for Yeoman Rand, and slaps her on the posterior (after seeing someone else do similarly). | ||||
| 34 | THE CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER | .992 | .968 | |
| The Enterprise is orbiting a planet with ripples in time. While investigating, McCoy (suffering from an overdose of cordrazine) vanishes through a time portal (The Guardian of Forever, a giant talking donut-shaped rock) and somehow changes the past. One side effect is that the Enterprise and Star Fleet no longer exist, but for some reason the crew that are on planet still do. Kirk and Spock follow him to Earth's 1930s in an effort to rectify whatever it is that McCoy has done. | ||||
| 36 | THE CLOUD MINDERS | .350 | .432 | |
| Kirk's attempt to pick up a shipment of a vital mineral embroils him in the demands of the oppressed miners (Troglytes) against the cultured rulers on cloud city. The planet Ardana is the only place where senite exists. The dust in the mines causes mental retardation in the Trogs, who want Kirk to help them. Kirk doesn't want to get involved, but needs the senite.. | ||||
| 38 | THE CONSCIENCE OF THE KING | .510 | .377 | |
| Kirk suspects the star of a Shakespearean acting troupe may be the infamous "Kodos the Executioner", presumed dead for twenty years. Twenty years ago a supply ship was delayed and all people on the planet were doomed to die of starvation. Kodos divided population into two groups, the ones that would live and the ones that would die. This plan would at least save half of the population. For some reason Kodos is condemned for trying to save half the people instead of letting *everyone* die ("the death of the many outweighs the death of the few"?). | ||||
| 40 | COURT-MARTIAL | .325 | .532 | |
| Kirk is placed on trial when the ship's records show that he committed an error that cost a crewmember's life. The "dead" crewman changed the ship's computer tapes so it shows Kirk jettisoning the pod during YELLOW alert instead of red alert. Spock wins at 3-D chess against the computer five games in a row, convincing him that the ship's computer has been tampered with (the best he should have been able to achieve was a draw since he programmed the game in himself.) McCoy masks out the heartbeat of all remaining crewmembers after most have beamed down to see if anyone is hiding. For some reason they can tell how many life forms are on a planet they are orbiting, but not on their own ship! McCoy masks Spock's heartbeat out as if it were in the human position rather than the Vulcan position. They then listen to the noises with the heartbeats masked out and hear another single heartbeat (and for some reason don't hear their voices amplified about a billion times). | ||||
| 42 | DAGGER OF THE MIND | .780 | .645 | |
| A deranged escapee from a penal planet causes Kirk to investigate the psychiatric treatments being administered there. The rehabilitation planet has a mind controller/neural neutralizer. | ||||
| 44 | DAY OF THE DOVE | .895 | .676 | |
| Klingons and the Enterprise crew must unite to overcome an alien pinwheel that feeds on hatred. The alien has the Klingons and the Enterprise crew kill each other, then brings them back to life to cause more hostility. | ||||
| 46 | THE DEADLY YEARS | .650 | .683 | |
| Kirk is relieved of command when he and other officers contract a disease from a passing comet that induces senility and death by old age within days. The planet Gamma Hydra 4 passed through the tail of a comet. Chekov doesn't age like the rest; they try to explain this because he was scared and got his adrenaline flowing. Some diplomat (Commodore Stocker) who's never had a field command (much less ever come close to commanding a starship) takes command of the Enterprise rather than allowing an experienced junior officer (Chekov) to have command, and decides to take a shortcut through the Romulan Neutral Zone like a dork. Kirk bluffs about corbomite to Star Fleet Command in a code he knows the Romulans have cracked, saying that it will make this area of space uninhabitable for two solar years. The Romulans back off and Kirk gets out of there. | ||||
| 48 | THE DEVIL IN THE DARK | .312 | .715 | |
| A mining operation on Janus VI (a planet with the richest abundance of minerals anywhere) is plagued by a series of mysterious and grisly deaths. Add to that the mysterious disappearance of their life-support pump (there's no oxygen down there). The Enterprise is called upon to investigate and/or evacuate the remaining miners. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy find a bunch of silicon globes (the miners have been keeping them as souvenirs and/or destroying them) and a series of tunnels that have been carved recently. Upon further investigation, they find that the deaths were caused by a silicon-based horta that moves through rock as easily as humans move through air. It is the last of its species and the globes that were found were her eggs. It was killing the miners with her acid in self-defense to keep her species alive (and stole the life-support system to try to make the miners go away). It is described as a "hairy beast", but is later found to be a highly intelligent breathing rock. Kirk and Spock discuss the possibility of silicon-based beings (or beings not carbon-based) apparently forgetting that Nancy the salt-sucker was silicon-based. McCoy later comes down and says that silicon-based life is impossible. Kirk wants to kill it, despite the fact that it is the last of its species, and refuses to weigh his options. Their phasers don't do too much to slow it down. Kirk orders the remaining miners up to the ship (most have already beamed up), but they (lead by this week's dork, Vandenburg) want to fight it with clubs (maybe clubs are more powerful than phasers, eh?) Kirk (in an attempt to win back the "dork of the week" prize) says "good" (non-sarcastically). Spock mind melds with it in an attempt to communicate, and senses how much pain she's in. She finds humans rather ugly, but likes Spock's ears. It then writes "no kill i" by burning away rock with its acid. Kirk is unsure if she means that she doesn't want to kill or that she doesn't want to be killed. They beam McCoy down to help repair the damaged horta. Eventually, they strike up a bargain. The miners don't destroy any more eggs and don't harm the horta. The horta will make their tunnels in the direction the miners want. | ||||
| 50 | THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE | .325 | .778 | |
| The Starship Enterprise and the damaged Starship Constellation (sans its 400 crew) battle an enormous horn/carrot-shaped machine that destroys planets and ships for fuel. It came from outside the galaxy, and is headed for the Rigel system, the most densely populated part of the galaxy. Its hull is solid neutronium. Commodore Matt Decker, who somehow got to be a starfleet officer (and good friend of Kirk, naturally), steals the Enterprise (after destroying his own ship - the Constellation NCC-1017 - and his 400 crew), and eventually kamikazes himself into the horn with an Enterprise shuttlecraft. The seven planets in system L370 are destroyed, and all but two planets on system L374 (Decker beamed his crew to the third planet). | ||||
| 52 | ELAAN OF TROYIUS | .205 | .469 | |
| The Enterprise is transporting Elaan, the Dolman of Elas (a spoiled wench) to be married (poor groom) to the ruler of a planet her people are at war with. Things get complicated when Kirk falls in love with the princess. Women of Elas have magic tears that make you fall in love with them when touched and the spell never wears off (as if Kirk need a *reason* to fall in love with a woman). There is no antidote to the spell the tears cast. McCoy spends the entire episode trying to come up with an antidote, and finally does just before the end of the episode. It isn't needed, though, because Kirk is able to resist her on his own due to his first love--that of the Enterprise. Kinda makes you wanna retch, eh? Elaan is wearing a dilithium crystal necklace. Dilithium crystals are abundant on Elas, which has the Klingons interested in the planet. Klingons sabotage Enterprise's warp drive so it will go kablooie. If the Enterprise had used warp as the Klingons wanted, *both* ships would have been destroyed, since it was mentioned that the explosion would nuke anything for [some stated distance]!! | ||||
| 54 | THE EMPATH | .250 | .240 | |
| A mute woman (Gem) is capable of absorbing the pain and injuries of others. Lal and Thann, a pair of fathead aliens known as the Vians manipulate Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, administering pain, to see if they can teach Gem compassion. In order to do this, the Vians have to put McCoy in so much pain that he'll die or Spock in so much pain that he will [go insane|become a vegetable]. | ||||
| 56 | THE ENEMY WITHIN | .650 | .521 | |
| A transporter malfunction splits Kirk into two bodies, each possessing half of his personality. One Kirk is brutal and incapable of control; the other is gentle and incapable of command. | ||||
| 58 | THE ENTERPRISE INCIDENT | .700 | .819 | |
| Kirk goes insane and orders the Enterprise across the neutral zone into Romulan space. Spock scans no ships within one parsec, then three Klingon vessels appear (Romulans are now using Klingon design and have a cloaking device). Romulans have Kirk and Spock beam on board; Lt Commander Scott takes over. Spock falls in love with Romulan Commander Chick. Spock instinctively uses the Vulcan death grip on his captain when Kirk attacks him. Kirk is brought back to Enterprise, adds ears and eyebrows, and returns to the Romulan ship to steal the cloaking device. | ||||
| 60 | ERRAND OF MERCY | .745 | .764 | |
| Kirk and Spock are stranded on the peaceful planet of Organia, which tThe Klingons have decided to take over. The Organians dress the duo in local clothes and give them local identities in order to hide and fit in. Kirk (under the assumption that ALL races want to be federationized) attempts to interfere with the Klingon takeover, despite the Organians' insistence of non-violence. Once commander Kor realizes that Kirk and Spock are from the Federation he has them locked up. The head Organian sets them free. The Klingons decide to kill two hundred Organians every two hours until Kirk and Spock are turned over to them. The Organians don't really seem to care. Kirk and Spock decide to fight the entire Klingon army in order to show the Organians what it means to fight for something you believe in. Despite the 7824 to 1 odds, they make it all the way into Kor's office. But even commanders are under surveillance, so Klingon guards burst into the room. The Organians, who are not as backward as they previously appeared, tire of the fighting and heat all weapons an bodies to 300-some degrees (units unstated). The same conditions exists on the Enterprise as well as the Klingon fleet which had just arrived. The reason the Organians didn't care about the Klingons killing them was the fact that they don't need their humanoid bodies. Organians are pure energy; pure thought. As they stand before Kirk and Spock and Kor, they also stand on the Klingon home world and the Federation home planet. | ||||
| 62 | FOR THE WORLD IS HOLLOW, AND I HAVE TOUCHED THE SKY | . | .563 | |
| McCoy, suffering from a fatal disease (xenopolycythemia), falls in love with Natira, the priestess of a planetoid/spaceship on a collision course with another planet. McCoy has one year to live and agrees to marry Natira, but ends up leaving her. | ||||
| 64 | FRIDAY'S CHILD | .430 | .512 | |
| Negotiations over mining rights become a battle for survival when McCoy unintentionally violates a tribal taboo by touching the leader's pregnant wife. The Enterprise and the Klingons are on Capella 4 trying to get a contract with a seven foot tall race to mine topaline. Things get complicated when the tribal leader dies. | ||||
| 66 | THE GALILEO SEVEN | .500 | .461 | |
| Spock finds himself in charge of a small crew and the shuttlecraft Galileo, stranded on a hostile planetoid (Taurus 2). McCoy, Scotty, and four extras (making seven) deal with Spock's logical leadership, trying to guess the next illogical move of a group of Neanderthals (eleven foot tall furry creatures similar to Hansen's planet). They are unable to communicate with the Enterprise because of a quasar-like formation (Murasaki), they encountered on the way to Marcus 3. The Neanderthals don't behave as Spock guessed they would because they are too primitive to think logically. McCoy and the others want to kill the Neanderthals rather than just scare them off (like Spock wanted). Spock doesn't like the low regard humans have for life (though he *can* kill when he feels like it (ref A taste of Armegeddon). Meanwhile, back on the Enterprise, Kirk is under time pressure by some diplomat to get him to some conference or something, so Kirk has to give up searching for the stranded seven. The shuttle drained most or all of its power just landing safely, so they are unable to reach escape velocity. Even if they could, the shuttle could only lift the weight of four bodies, even after getting rid of unneeded machinery. Spock must decide who lives and who stays on the planet to die (kinda like Kodus the Executioner from "Conscience of the King"). McCoy and Mr. Boma would rather have random chance decide which four will pilot the shuttlecraft instead of who is qualified to do so. What's worse, McCoy would rather that six people die instead of one. Mr. Boma would rather bury a dead guy instead of fixing the ship and having a chance to escape alive. Spock's calmness when in command seems to be what really pisses Bones off. The castaways finally get the shuttlecraft airborne by draining their hand phasers into the power supply of the shuttle. Spock then logically decides to be emotional by jettisoning the last of the shuttlecraft's fuel as a signal to the Enterprise. For some illogical reason, Spock doesn't want to keep enough fuel to land again for when the Enterprise returns. At the end, the entire bridge crew laughs openly in Spock's face. | ||||
| 68 | THE GAMESTERS OF TRISKELION | .420 | .394 | |
| Kirk, Uhura, and Chekov are captured for use in gambling conflicts. The Providers (3 brains without bodies) bid for people in auction. G[o|a]lt is auctioneer. They bid in quatloos. They keep the three in cells, feed them, and have drill thralls to keep them company. Kirk gets a decent drill thrall in Shahna, but Chekov's (Tamoon) is less than appealing. | ||||
| 70 | I, MUDD | .778 | .668 | |
| The Enterprise is forced to a planet populated by 207,809 androids and ruled by their old nemesis, Harcourt Fenton Mudd (III?). Norman (the main android) had been a member of the Enterprise crew for three days, then diverted the ship to Mudd's uncharted planet (4 solar days at warp 7, arrived at SD 4513.3). They didn't realize he was an android, though McCoy or someone thought he was a bit too stiff. Andromeda residents built the androids, but then their sun novaed, and the few remaining beings died off eventually. Mudd's stolen ship had to land on this planet, where the androids want to serve him and learn about him. He had them create an android replica of his wife Stella. Mudd and Norman have Kirk, Spock, Bones, Sulu, and Uhura beam down, and eventually beams the entire crew down (after beaming up androids to take over their positions). A human brain can be put in android body and live 500,000 years (the immortality and eternal beauty intrigue Uhura initially). | ||||
| 72 | THE IMMUNITY SYNDROME | . | .598 | |
| A giant single-celled creature, which feeds on the energy necessary to our form of life, invades our galaxy. I assume it's from another galaxy. Spock ventures into the amoeba (zone of darkness) in a shuttlecraft, and is almost stranded. | ||||
| 74 | IS THERE IN TRUTH NO BEAUTY? | .210 | .411 | |
| Miranda Jones, a telepath, is jealous of Spock's greater abilities in forming a mind-link with Kollos, an alien so ugly that the very sight of him can drive a man insane. Kollos is in a small box (great way to save on the F/X budget). Spock forgets to wear his visor (with some help of Miranda), causing him to go crazy and take the Enterprise out of the galaxy. Spock deduces that Miranda is blind, and McCoy realizes that her dress is giving her information on her surroundings (she can judge distances much more accurately than unaided humans). | ||||
| 76 | JOURNEY TO BABEL | .700 | .766 | |
| Crisis piles atop crisis when the Enterprise is in charge of transporting a volatile cargo of Federation diplomats (114 delegates, many of them admirals), including Spock's parents (Sarek and Amanda). Sarek is having problems with his heart, though he hasn't told his wife about it. First, Spock uses illogic to say that the death of the two outweighs the death of the one. Amanda argues (logically) that "why should you both die?" Kirk gets injured and cannot command the ship (confined to sick bay or he'll bleed a lot). Now (reversing her logicity) Amanda says Spock should do the transfusion. The intruder is signaling to a small kamikaze scout ship which is going at warp 10. Andorians are blue aliens with antennae. Tellarites are snout-nosed aliens, hot to pick a fight with Sarek over his vote in the upcoming vote of whether or not to let some dilithium-rich planet into the federation. Sarek shows almost human pride according to Amanda. Kirk (not wanting to let Spock "commit patricide" although he "can't condemn him for his loyalty") pretends to be okay so he can take command back, then give command immediately to Scotty. But before he can call Scotty, the Enterprise is under attack so he tells Scotty to forget it (even though the battle seems to go on for a long time (plenty of time for Scotty to come up and take over and let Kirk get back to sick bay)). Spock figures out the answer, so naturally (instead of letting him save ALL the lives on board) Nurse Chapel sedates him so there's a CHANCE of saving his father (who might die along with everyone else now that Spock can't tell Kirk what he knows). The bad guys turn out to be Orions. | ||||
| 78 | LET THAT BE YOUR LAST BATTLEFIELD | .110 | .220 | |
| Two two-toned beings, each the last member of their respective race on the planet Sharon, try to get Kirk to take sides in their disputes. They steal the Enterprise and end up beaming down to their old planet to finish the fight. For 50000 Earth years Bele (the Black/White) has chased Lokai (the White/Black slave). Kirk tries to self-destruct the Enterprise. | ||||
| 80 | THE LIGHTS OF ZETAR | .300 | .389 | |
| An electrical cloud formed by the life-essences of the long-dead Zetarians seeks to possess the body of Scotty's new-found sweetheart, Mira Romaine. Her brain pattern matches that of the cloud. She is put into a pressure chamber to rid her of the cloud. The cloud had just destroyed the inhabitants of Memory Alpha | ||||
| 82 | THE MAN TRAP | .360 | .294 | |
| The Enterprise is ravaged by a creature that sucks the salt from its victims' bodies. It is capable of assuming any identity, including McCoy's old flame Nancy Crater, a crewman Uhura has the hots for, McCoy, etc. | ||||
| 84 | THE MARK OF GIDEON | .090 | .295 | |
| Kirk is decoyed into a replica of the Enterprise, empty except for Odona, a dizzy chick. Spock is on the real Enterprise, searching for Kirk through a slough of red tape, and eventually defies Star Fleet Command. The people of Gideon are trying to get infected by Kirk to control their over- population problem. | ||||
| 86 | THE MENAGERIE (part 1) | .570 | .780 | |
| Spock steals the Enterprise and its old captain, Christopher Pike (who is now an invalid incapable of speech or movement, except for a blinking light). Kirk and another officer (Commodore Mendez) chase after him in a shuttlecraft. Spock beams the two aboard after the shuttlecraft runs out of fuel. Spock sets the ship on automatic control (destination: Talos IV) and kills the override (crosses it with life-support). Three captains are present, so court-martial proceedings can take place, with Spock showing scenes from "The Cage" (Star Trek's original pilot episode), the Enterprise voyage 13 years ago, as testimony. | ||||
| 88 | THE MENAGERIE (part 2) | .570 | .743 | |
| Spock shows more scenes from "The Cage". Commodore Mendez disappears (he was never really there, the Talosians were making the crew think he was there to keep them occupied with the hearings). Pike returns to the fatheads, who make him think he is cured and can walk and is young and everything. Talosians make your dreams come true. | ||||
| 90 | METAMORPHOSIS | .450 | .426 | |
| While transporting an annoying Starfleet ambassador/observer wench somewhere (she caught a disease on her last assignment and McCoy is worried the whole show that she is going to die), the Enterprise receives a distress signal. An Enterprise shuttlecraft (along with the wench, who went along to the planet for some reason) is forced down to the planet that the signal originated at. On the planet they find Zephram Cochrane, who has been kept immortal by a cloud of electricity called the Companion, who brought Kirk, et.al. to the planet to keep Zephram company. | ||||
| 92 | MIRI | .312 | .264 | |
| The landing party (Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and (purely for plot value) Yeoman Janice Rand) beam down to a planet that appears to be an exact duplicate of Earth (except for the strange lack of clouds). It even roates the same direction. The outline of North America (and later other continents) can be seen while the Enterprise orbits (though it keeps changing the direction it orbits). Kirk believes that the planet is in the stage of development Earth was in the early 20th century, but Spock corrects him--saying it is closer to the 1960s (amazingly enough). The few people they find are in their late teens and horribly disfigured. Later, they find Miri, an adolescent who develops a crush on Kirk. McCoy discovers that there was a plague that struck--wiping out all the adults. It starts to affect the landing party (except for Spock, though he is a carrier). They soon discover that the plague was accidentally self-inflicted by the denizens of the planet when they were trying to alter the population so that they would only age a month every hundred years. Unfortunately, once the people reach puberty, they are afflicted by this weird plague that causes blue splotches to appear on the skin; eventually the person goes mad and tries to hurt everyone else. Having a week before the landing party is toast, McCoy and Spock develop a vaccine that will stop (and reverse) the bad effects. The only problem: the children of the planet have stolen the communicators so McCoy can't contact the ship to find out the correct dosage. Kirk gets Miri (who has started to turn blue) to take him to the children, and after taking a beating he gets the communicators back. McCoy, having no confidence in Kirk's ability to retrieve the devices in time, gives himself a full dosage and starts screaming in pain. Spock notices that the unconscious McCoy is starting to lose the blue splotches, so he must have guessed the correct dosage totally by accident. Too bad he didn't wait another 60 seconds for Kirk to bring the communicators back, eh? | ||||
| 94 | MIRROR, MIRROR | .850 | .824 | |
| Due to a transporter malfunction, Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, and Uhura are accidentally exchanged with their counterparts in a parallel universe, where the Federation is a violent, dictatorial Empire. In the alternate universe, the crew murder to rise in rank (Kirk took command of the ISS Enterprise after assassinating Captain Pike, etc). On the ISS Enterprise, the captain's woman, Marlena Moreau, shows Kirk the Tantalis Field, which can destroy a person without being present. | ||||
| 96 | MUDD'S WOMEN | .455 | .463 | |
| Jack-of-all-illegal-trades Harry Mudd is transported aboard the Enterprise along with his cargo, three irresistibly beautiful women (Eve, Magda, Ruth). Mudd uses beauty pills "Venus drug" to make women beautiful, then sells them to wealthy single miners. Kirk uses up the lithium crystals chasing Mudd into an asteroid field and goes to Rigel 12 to get new ones, where he replaces Mudd's pills with gelatin (thus proving to the women that it wasn't really the drug that made them beautiful; beauty comes from within (barf)). | ||||
| 98 | THE NAKED TIME | .550 | .642 | |
| A strange malady strikes the crew of the Enterprise, causing them to succumb to their innermost desires. Everyone goes insane. | ||||
| 100 | OBSESSION | .425 | .576 | |
| Kirk disregards all other responsibilities in an effort to destroy a gaseous vampire cloud that feeds on red corpuscles. Kirk was supposed to rendezvous with the USS Yorktown in two hours because vaccines are needed on Theta 7. Eleven years ago something happened to the USS Ferrigut. The captain (Garrovick) and half the crew died (200 people). This was Lt Kirk's first mission. Everyone has been calling it "the creature", then when Spock calls it "the creature", McCoy questions this name. Kirk has ensign Garrovick accompany him on the planet, where he attacks Kirk in a flash of bravery/stupidity (isn't this a court-martial offense?) | ||||
| 102 | THE OMEGA GLORY | .440 | .367 | |
| Captain Tracy (who somehow became an officer in Star Fleet) defies Star Fleet Command because he thinks he's found a planet of eternal youth, and decides to meddle in the struggle between the Yangs and the Coms. This alternate Earth has the U.S. flag, some American documents, and a book with a picture of Satan who looks like Spock. Kirk and Spock are in a cell and try to befriend a larger inmate. | ||||
| 104 | OPERATION--ANNIHILATE! | .775 | .576 | |
| Parasitic creatures (flying pizza bats/fried eggs) cause insanity in victims by landing on their backs and entering the nervous system via the spine, which they wrap around. Jim's brother Sam Kirk is dead on the planet, but they manage to save Jim's nephew Peter Kirk. Spock is infected by one of the parasites. McCoy thinks light might destroy them (1000 candles per square inch), so Spock logically decided to get blinded instead of wearing protective goggles. Vulcans have a second eyelid that Spock never thought to bring up and McCoy for some reason was unaware of. The eggs came 8 months ago (they are actually brain cells of some larger being). Enterprise outside hull temperature is 1000 degrees and rising when they chase a small ship into the sun. | ||||
| 106 | THE PARADISE SYNDROME | .996 | .646 | |
| The Enterprise has to deal with a meteor that is about to collide with a planet of American Indians. Kirk accidentally enters a temple in which he accidentally pushes a button, causing him to lose his memory. Spock gives up the search for him in order to deflect the meteor. Kirk is seen emerging from the temple and is assumed to be a god by the Indian populace (brought from Earth by aliens). Kirk marries Mirimani, who has his child, but she dies before it is born during a stoning of her and Kirk for being a fraud. | ||||
| 108 | PATTERNS OF FORCE | .860 | .648 | |
| A Federation historian (John Gill - Kirk's instructor at the Academy) ignores the Prime Directive (as seems to be a prerequisite for entrance into the Federation) and reshapes a planet's society along the lines of Nazi Germany. Landing party implants subcutaneous transponders under their skin to be used as transporter locators for Kirk and Spock. | ||||
| 110 | A PIECE OF THE ACTION | .845 | .848 | |
| Kirk must find a way to counteract the effects of an earlier expedition, which caused a planet's civilization (Iotians) to pattern itself after the Chicago mobs of the 1920s. He tries to get the gang leaders to unite, so they have some semblance of a government, but seems to have little effect. McCoy ends up leaving his communicator behind, so new contamination has beemn seeded for the future. | ||||
| 112 | PLATO'S STEPCHILDREN | .640 | .450 | |
| Telekinetic Greeks get their power from the local food, which contains kirocide. Alexander the dwarf doesn't have the power. Spock sings and laughs. | ||||
| 114 | A PRIVATE LITTLE WAR | .550 | .565 | |
| When the Klingons arm one tribe on a once-peaceful planet, Kirk decides to arm the other tribe. Kirk is jumped by a furry white Mugato beast, then saved by Nona who cuts her hand, then uses a live mako root to heal him, which acts as a love potion (like it's needed for Kirk to fall in love with a chick). Nona finds herself surrounded by her enemies, and tries to offer Kirk's phaser in orser to stay alive. When help arrives, her captors think it was a trap, and fatally stab her. Kirk had been put on on this planet 13 years ago (when he was about 21) to study these people and their culture. His old friend from this planet is Tyree. | ||||
| 116 | REQUIEM FOR METHUSELAH | .660 | .564 | |
| The Enterprise crew has contracted Rigelian fever (the modern equivalent of the bubonic plague). Flint is an immortal being. Kirk falls in love with android Rayna, who was built and taught by Flint, and has the equivalent of (16?) university degrees. Flint built the M4 robot to serve him. Spock experiences envy for Flint's art collection, drinks 100 year old Brandy, plays piano, and erases part of Kirk's memory. Flint wanted to use Kirk to rouse emotions in Rayna, so that she would become fully human and would be a suitable, immortal mate. | ||||
| 118 | RETURN OF THE ARCHONS | .740 | .451 | |
| An entire planet is under the total mental control of a mysterious being known as "Landru", who turns out to be the ruling computer. Kirk, et.al. find a cult-like society where everyone is mindless, spaced out, content, except during "festival" when everyone goes crazy. Hooded people keep order, using hollow rods as weapons. Kirk decides that this isn't the way a society should live, and destroys the computer (again). | ||||
| 120 | RETURN TO TOMORROW | .250 | .438 | |
| Highly advance alien minds in globes "borrow" three bodies, including those of Kirk and Spock, in order to build permanent android bodies. One of them does not wish to leave his borrowed body. Sargon is one of the aliens. | ||||
| 122 | THE SAVAGE CURTAIN | .840 | .574 | |
| Lincoln of Earth and Surak of Vulcan join Kirk and Spock in battle against Ghengis Khan, Col Green (from Earth's 1990's?), the ruthless Klingon Kahless the Unforgettable (the author of the planet's evil), and some evil chick, while a hot alien talking rock observes the differences between good and evil. Surak refuses to fight because he's a pacifist. Spock idolizes Surak, but will fight by Kirk's side. Lincoln doesn't mind fighting as much. Surak and Lincoln both die. Good triumphs over evil (again) and Kirk refuses to kill his enemy (again). | ||||
| 124 | SHORE LEAVE | .725 | .566 | |
| The crew of the Enterprise takes shore leave on a planet where their every thought is immediately converted into reality, including Alice and the White Rabbit and Kirk's friend (?) [Finigan|Finnegan]. | ||||
| 126 | SPACE SEED | .998 | .763 | |
| The Enterprise runs across an atomic-powered sleeper ship (the SS Botany Bay, with transistors) full of supermen fleeing their defeat in the Eugenics War on Earth (1993 - where superior humans were cross-bred). McGivers is a Enterprise crewmember skilled in 20th century Earth history, who falls in love with Khan and chooses to be banished with him at the end. | ||||
| 128 | SPECTRE OF THE GUN | .835 | .541 | |
| Kirk, Spock, Scotty, McCoy, and Chekov find themselves on the losing side of the gunfight at the OK Corral when they choose to ignore a warning buoy (shaped like a boxkite) and cross into Melkotian-owned space. Kirk hears the warning in English, Spock in Vulcan, Uhura in Swahili, [and Chekov in Russian?], so it was likely done with telepathy. They try various ways of convincing the people of the town that they are not who they appear to be, but everyone thinks they are in character. They try to leave town, but find a force-field. They try to stay in town and avoid the O.K. Corral, but are transported there. Spock mind-melds Kirk, Scotty, and McCoy (Chekov was already shot dead) into believing that the bullets are not real. | ||||
| 130 | SPOCK'S BRAIN | .115 | .163 | |
| A race of imbecile women steal Spock's brain to lead them. McCoy and Scotty hook up Spock's body to move via remote control. Kirk must decide which of three habitated planets Spock's brain was taken to, although none of them should possess the technology to surgically remove a brain. Naturally, after Chekov's descriptoins of the planets evolution and population, Kirk chooses the most primitive planet. Women live underground in a climate-controlled cave, while the men must survive in the Arctic temperatures on the surface. McCoy puts on the "Teacher", a thinking cap that gives you lots of knowledge for a short while (in order to re-install Spock's brain.) Without Spock to keep everything running, the women have to start *thinking* again. | ||||
| 132 | THE SQUIRE OF GOTHOS | .660 | .528 | |
| The crew of the Enterprise are made unwilling guests of the powerful but capricious General Trelane (retired). This weapon-happy person made the planet Gothos a copy of the Earth as he sees it (900 years ago since he is 900 light years away) - Napoleonic. Kirk destroys his power source hidden behind a mirror, which only makes Trelane more angry. Eventually, his parents tell him to come home; that he is being a naughty boy. | ||||
| 134 | A TASTE OF ARMAGEDDON | .350 | .598 | |
| The Enterprise and her crew are declared casualties in an interplanetary war that has been going on for 500 years and is entirely simulated by computers. Kirk learns this after ignoring a code 710 (like a complete dweeb) and approaching the planet anyway. By entering the airspace of the planet, the Enterprise is a valid target and is "hit" by a computer simulated missile. The crew must follow the other 126,520 casualties into the disintegration chambers or the two planets will have a full-scale REAL war. Kirk refuses in the hopes that the planets would rather talk peace than fight a non-simulated war. | ||||
| 136 | THAT WHICH SURVIVES | .250 | .395 | |
| Three Kalandan girls (replicas of Losira) have the death-touch and threaten the landing party of three. Each girl is programmed to come after one of the landing party. They are controlled by a cube-shaped computer on the ceiling. | ||||
| 138 | THIS SIDE OF PARADISE | .750 | .766 | |
| Strange spores cause the entire crew of the Enterprise to mutiny and beam down to a planet where all work is done in unity and contentment, where sickness and hatred do not exist. Gee, what an original thought, eh Gene?. If Kirk beams down, they will all be stranded and be unable to beam back up, since the idiots who designed the ship made a requirement that someone be aboard to operate the transporters (the first person to board must have used a shuttlecraft, eh?). Spock finds a blonde he met on Earth six years ago (Leila) and falls in love with her. Kirk is shot by the spores and is ready to beam down, but because of his superior dedication to the ship (or some such bogus handwaving) he snaps out of it. He calls Spock to say he will be coming down, but needs a hand with carrying down some supplies. Kirk then insults and strikes Spock in order to get HIS emotions riled to shake the spell of the spores. | ||||
| 140 | THE THOLIAN WEB | .445 | .632 | |
| The Enterprise is sent to investigate the disappearance of he USS Defiant, which has been missing for three weeks. The Defiant is found adrift in an unexplored quardant of space, trapped between universes, and her crew murdered each other because of the rip in space. Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Chekov beam to the fading ship in space suits. The transporter is weak, so all but Kirk beam back, trapping Kirk in hyperspace. Meanwhile, the Tholians arrive (at velocity 0.15c) and ask the crew to leave their territory. Spock, in command, says they are rescuing their captain from a rip in space, and that they will leave in 132 minutes. The Tholian ship disturbed the space, however, causing Kirk not to fade back in at the appropriate time. The Tholians, known for their punctuality (even though they are a race unknown to the Federation), fire upon the Enterprise. Spock shoots back in self-defense (since they closed off communications). Another Tholian ship arrives and the two very slowly put up a web-like force field. Meanwhile, the crew of the Enterprise is becoming murderous (due to the strange physical properties of the area surrounding the rift), McCoy is flaming about Spock wanting command of the Enterprise. Spock declares Kirk dead. Kirk appears in Uhura's mirror, in engineering, then on the bridge. Spock zooms out 2.72 parsecs (with Kirk (almost out of oxygen) in the transporter beam apparently - I'll bet his stomach loved that). Spock and McCoy both LIE to Kirk and say that they didn't listen to his last orders. Spock says there are (not "there might be") several universes in parallel. | ||||
| 142 | TOMORROW IS YESTERDAY | .745 | .658 | |
| On their way to Starbase 9, the Enterprise is accidentally flung back (by a black star that pulled them in) to the year 1967 (isn't it odd how they always end up in the 1960s?), and through space to Earth (Spock does some hand-waving to explain that they were headed sort of Earth-ward at the time), where they must take desperate measures in an attempt to avoid changing history. The Enterprise used up all of its power; propelled away fast. A ground radar crew spots the Enterprise and sends up a US Air Force pilot, who sees the ship and reports it as a UFO. The plane starts breaking up when the Enterprise puts a tractor beam on it, so Kirk has the pilot beamed aboard. To get back to the present, the crew slingshot around the sun. They beam back the USAF Captain to his plane just as he was being beamed out - I might be convinced to buy that, but the guy with the green beret hat is beamed into his other body long before he was beamed away (he was still standing in the hallway) - how do they explain the fact that his mass just doubled? | ||||
| 144 | THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES | .993 | .818 | |
| Kirk must put up with Federation bureaucrats and hoards of hungry tribbles, while protecting a shipment of quadrotriticale (wheat) against Klingon sabotage. The tribbles get in through the air vents and eat all the grain from the storage compartments. There was one Klingon agent who was (apparently) modified to pass as a human. | ||||
| 146 | TURNABOUT INTRUDER | .430 | .460 | |
| Kirk's old flame (Janice Lester) envies his power and performs mindswap, then orders Kirk's mind (in her old body) court-martialed. She then orders Spock (and McCoy and Scotty) court-martialed for mutiny when they question the decision. General order four is the only way to execute anyone, and no one violated it. | ||||
| 148 | THE ULTIMATE COMPUTER | .250 | .579 | |
| Star Fleet Command puts the Enterprise under total control of the m5 multitronic unit, a new computer that can do everything the entire crew can do, and much faster. (Seeing that this obvious improvement would obviate the need for any actors, Roddenberry decided to make believe that computers err more often than humans.) Kirk is called "Captain Dunsel" by Admiral Wesley (quite out of character for high officials). A dunsel is a useless piece of machinery. M5 can run the ship with a crew of 20. M5 refuses to relinquish control, and starts firing on any ship, manned or unmanned, friend or foe. M5's creator (Richard Daystrom, who has fallen from the spotlight of his bright, intelligent youth) also refuses to have m5 relinquish control. | ||||
| 150 | THE WAY TO EDEN | .775 | .432 | |
| A group of space hippies steal the Enterprise (not a hard task to accomplish, is it?) and search for the legendary planet Eden. Spock jams on a harp-like instrument with a chick playing backup on a bicycle wheel. The six hippies, led by Dr Sevrin (waffle ears), had stolen the Space Cruiser Aurora, and the Enterprise had to enter the Romulan Neutral Zone to save them. They call Kirk "Herbert", a person known for his rigid and limited patterns of thought, but Spock is one with them (since he was unlike the people he grew up with). Dr. Sevrin was a brilliant man from Tiburon, but now is a carrier of some disease. Chekov's old flame from SF Academy (Irina Galliulin) tries to persuade him to join them. They find Eden (with some help from Spock), but Adam and Doc Sevrin die as they find out that all the plant life is acidic. | ||||
| 152 | WHAT ARE LITTLE GIRLS MADE OF? | .660 | .498 | |
| Nurse Chapel's long-lost fiance, Roger Korby, turns up in control of a mechanism capable of producing android replicas of live beings. Kirk is copied on a horizontal wheel, and Dr. Korby wants to place his android Kirk in control of the Enterprise. Kirk puts all his thoughts into Vulcan bigotry as he is being copied, in hopes that the copy will think insulting Spock is a commonplace occurrence. Ruk is a smarter android left behind by "the others", but doesn't know how long he's been around. Mention is made of Kirk's brother George Samuel Kirk ("Only YOU call him Sam"). | ||||
| 154 | WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE | .275 | .638 | |
| In passing through an energy barrier at the edge of the galaxy, some Enterprise members find their ESP powers greatly heightened, their eyes glow, and they get god-like powers. Kirk's good friend Gary Mitchell gets the powers and starts losing respect for Kirk, and eventually tries to kill him and bury him in the ground. He creates a garden of Eden for himself and his goddess. | ||||
| 156 | WHO MOURNS FOR ADONAIS | .350 | .368 | |
| The Enterprise is seized by a giant hand-shaped force field belonging to a being who claims to be Apollo. Apollo journeyed to Earth 5000 years ago from Pollux 4 and was worshiped along with the other "gods" by the populace. Now he requires the worship of the crew for survival. Enterprise historian Carolyn Palamas falls in love with Apollo, who enjoys her worshiping him. Kirk must rely on her loyalty to destroy the god and win their freedom. | ||||
| 158 | WHOM GODS DESTROY | .665 | .547 | |
| Captain Garth, the insane polymorph, takes over the penal planet where he was being treated. He is a shape-changing psychopath on an insane asylum planet which is protected by force field. He changes into an official of the institute and also James Kirk in an attempt to get aboard the Enterprise and escape from the planet. Kirk set up a code to be used before transporting up, based on 3-D chess. Spock must choose which is the imposter Kirk and stun him. | ||||
| 160 | WINK OF AN EYE | .870 | .544 | |
| The last survivors of a race of fast people steal the Enterprise. All the crew hear is an occasional buzzing sound when these aliens talk. Kirk is sped up when his coffee is spiked by one of the aliens. Kirk leaves a message on a tape and leaves it where the crew will eventually find it. At the end, Spock speeds himself up and makes repairs to the ship. | ||||
| 162 | WOLF IN THE FOLD | .785 | .566 | |
| Scotty blacks out and appears to be the only logical suspect in a series of bizarre murders on the peaceful planet Argilias. It turns out to be an entity who has traveled to many worlds killing lots of people. It started out on Earth as Jack the Ripper, and spread out into the galaxy when the Earth-people did. He is now blamed for many mass murders, including Earth's 1974 USS ____, 2105 Martian Colony murders, ____ Rigel murders, etc. When they figure out who he is, Jack the Ripper non-physically enters the computer. McCoy gives "happy shots" to the entire crew (except Spock and Kirk, but for some reason Jack the Ripper doesn't enter their bodies) to keep Jack from possessing their bodies. Spock has the computer compute to the last digit of pi (which of course, it devotes all of its memory to). | ||||
