Star Trek TOS/TAS Lists of Lists

DISCLAIMER: "Star Trek", "Enterprise", and all other related items are

|
|
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.

Third Season
|
|
-==========-
|
|
As a result of either a letter writing campaign by Star Trek fans, or the
|
|
result of NBC not having a replacement show ready, Star Trek was given a third
|
|
season by NBC.
|
|
|
|
The third season aired on NBC on Friday Nights at 10:00. However, Paramount
|
|
Pictures - A Gulf+Western Company bought out Desilu Studios, and thus, the
|
|
third season was produced by Paramount.

Video Tape
|
|
-========-
|
|
The entire series is also available uncut from Paramount Home Video, and
|
|
includes the original promos for the following episode. The ordering of the
|
|
tapes is according to air dates, with "The Cage" considered to be episode one.
|
|
|
|
Due to copyright problems with the music in "The City On The Edge Of Forever",
|
|
substitute music was placed in this video.
|
|
|
|
Laser Disc
|
|
-========-
|
|
All 79 episodes+pilot are available from Paramount. They are packaged 2 to a
|
|
disc, not in numerical order. If you want specific titles, catalog numbers,
|
|
etc. "The Laser Video File" offers a complete listing, or they are available
|
|
in electronic form from the Barr LD data base. The complete set of the
|
|
animated series episodes is also available in a boxed LD set. Only the recent
|
|
all-color release of The Cage has digital sound. Some of my discs were made by
|
|
PVI in the US; some by PVC in Japan. The PVC ones are mostly in the second and
|
|
third seasons, and tend to have fewer defects. Many don't even have CX,
|
|
although some (mostly the later/PVC ones) do. The original TV trailers are
|
|
enclosed. At least one of the trailers contains slightly different composition
|
|
from the actual episode. On the positive side, the colors are more
|
|
significantly more saturated than the broadcasts I've compared.

|
|
stars, in addition to William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy.

"I'm a Doctor, not a _________" . . . .

Bricklayer - "Devil In The Dark"
|
|
Engineer - "Mirror, Mirror"
|
|
Mechanic - "The Doomsday Machine"
|
|
Escalator - "Friday's Child"
|
|
Coal Miner - "The Empath" (Seconds later, McCoy also says "I'm not an
|
|
mechanic."
|
|
|
|
. . . . And Variations Thereof
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
"What am I, a doctor or a Moon shuttle conductor?" - "The Corbomite Maneuver"
|
|
|
|
"I'm a scientist, not a military man." - Mr. Jaeger, "The Squire of Gothos"
|
|

"I don't know. I'm a doctor. If I were an officer of the line, I'd--" - McCoy,

|
|
|
|
"I'm not a magician, I'm just an old country doctor." - "The Deadly Years"
|
|
|
|
These lines may have originated with Heinlein's 1952 novel "The Rolling
|
|
Stones." In that book, Dr. Edith Stone says, "How can I be sure? I'm a doctor,
|
|
not a fortune-teller."
|
|
Also, there was a 1933 film called "The Kennel Club Murder Case" starring
|
|
William Powell as Philo Vance, who was a popular book/movie detective back
|
|
then. In this film, there was a Doctor Finnegan, who made the comments "I'm a
|
|
doctor, not a magician!", and "I'm a doctor, not a detective!"

by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
|
|

by likening him to "the servant of the Evil One" in Yang's "Holy Book".

|
"The Ultimate Computer" - M5 says "Murder is contrary to the laws of God and
|
|
man." Kirk adds, "Daystrom felt that such an act was an offense against the

|
|
it."

|
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 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.
|
|
|
|
Shakespeare
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
There have been many references to Shakespeare on the original series, either
|
|
though episode titles or through quotations by the characters. [BTW: I don't
|
|
know what the 2.1.39 means. :( ]
|
|
|
|
"Dagger of the Mind" - This line is referenced in "Macbeth 2.1.39", and can be
|
|
best sumaraized in "Macbeth 2.1.34-50".
|
|
|
|
"The Conscience of the King" - This line is referenced in "Hamlet 2.2.606",
|
|
and can be best sumaraized in "Hamlet 2.2.589-606". This episode is based
|
|
largely on _Hamlet_. The basic plot is similar, and there are many plot
|
|
devices which are duplicated in the episode from the play, such as the troupe
|
|
of actors. Additionally, many of Shakespeare's characters find analogs in Star
|
|
Trek. Here is a list of crossovers: Hamlet -> Kirk, Claudius -> Karidian
|
|
(Kodos), Ophelia -> Lenore, and Ghost of Hamlet's Father -> Tom Leighton
|
|
This episode also contains several themes lifted from Macbeth, as one would
|
|
expect since the episode opens with a scene from an "Arcturian Macbeth." The
|
|
analogs seem to be: Macbeth -> Karidian, Lady Macbeth -> Lenore, and Macduff
|
|
-> Kirk
|
|
|
|
Toward the end of the episode, the Karidian Company of Actors performs
|
|
Hamlet. Karidian, playing Hamlet's father, speaks the lines from "Hamlet
|
|
1.5.10-24", but, unforunately, omits several lines.
|
|
Later, Lenore quotes the Soothsayer in "Julius Caesar 1.2.18&23":
|
|
"Caesar, beware the Ides of March.", and then paraphrases Fortinbras from
|
|
"Hamlet 5.2.36-63"
|
|
|
|
"All Our Yesterdays" - This title comes from "Macbeth 5.5.22", with
|
|
surrounding text from "Macbeth 5.5.17-28".
|
|
|
|
"By Any Other Name" - Kirk says as he holds out a rose-like flower and says,
|
|
"As the Earth poet Shakespeare wrote, `That which we call a rose by any other
|
|
name would smell as sweet.'" This line comes from "Romeo and Juliet 2.2.43-44"
|
|
|
|
"Whom Gods Destroy" - Martha quotes Shakespeare's eighteens sonnet, which
|
|
Garth replies, "You wrote that?". This was probably an allusion to the
|
|
Elizabethan practice of rewriting pre-existing poems and stories, using huge
|
|
amounts of the same text. (It was considered bad writing not to.)
|
|
|
|
"Elaan of Troyius" - The plot for this episode was taken from _The Taming of
|
|
the Shrew_. As with "The Conscience of the King," some of Shakespeare's
|
|
characters find analogs within the episode: Petruchio -> Kirk, and Katherine
|
|
-> Elaan
|
|
|
|
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) Also, after Kirk talks with the chef, he is seen
|
|
in a closeup, but the image is reversed (look at the hair part). (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)
|
|
|
|
*"Day Of The Dove" - There is a prop that is grey, and looks like a grey
|
|
hydrant coming out of the wall aprx. 18 inches from the floor. During the big
|
|
sword fight, we see them fighting by this "hydrant", cut to another scene,
|
|
then cut back to see this "hydrant" knocked over.
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|

Strange love a star woman teaches

I know

His journey end never

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.
