🌟 Star Trek, TOS 🌟

Yaaay brother. That's one of my favorite episodes.

I liked that episode too. Especially those delightful aspects in the miniskirts.

Incidentally, the remote control prop Dr. McCoy used to move the brainless Spock around had been repurposed from the communicator prop used in The Cage.

I'm not surprised nobody got this one. If I didn't know her name, I would not have recognized her.

Susan Howard might be best remembered for having played Donna Krebbs in the TV show Dallas.


Susan Howard as Mara


Day of the Dove

I never would have guess who she was. Day of the Dove is a good one! Michael Ansara made one of the best Klingons in the original series.

Michael Ansara was once married to I Dream of Jeannie's Barbara Eden.



One interesting aspect of Day of the Dove was that it proved humans and Klingons could work together: A foreshadowing of things to come.

Wow, I know who Susan Howard is and those pics (at least to me) look nothing like her! Mes, do you know what show those pics were taken from?

@Citizen Rules, that was a great newspaper "scandal sheet" parody of Spock's Brain! Did you make that or find it? If so, where, please?

The irony of this episode is that years later, Spock's brother, Sybok, would force the Enterprise and its crew to take a similar journey... to find "Eden" beyond the great barrier at the center of the galaxy!

Eden went by many names, but some Vulcans called it Sha-Ka-Ree!
(Trivia time: the Vulcan name of the Eden planet was taken from the fact that Sean Connery was originally planned to play Sybok... Sha Ka Ree was a play on Sean Connery's name!)

Nah, I didn't make it. I'll PM you a link to the site.

The site name is listed in the bottom right corner of the picture.

OPEN FLOOR.

Wow, I didn't know that. It would've improved the ratings if Sean Connery took the role. The only episode that makes use of the Great (galactic) Barrier is Is There in Truth No Beauty?

They came from an episode of Mannix.

Who is this?

Who is this?

That's easy he was the half white half black guy in Let This Be Your Last Battlefield. Or wait a minute!...was he the half black half white guy? I guess it only mattered to Frank Gorshin That was a pretty intense episode. As a kid I never liked it, but now I think it's one of the best episodes of the original series.

Another easy one - that's actor James Gregory who had a prolific career - everything from Barney Miller to Beneath the Planet of the Apes! Another guy with a very identifiable voice (even under Ape make-up!)
He was a doctor or warden or something like that in "Dagger of the Mind"!

I may be totally off on this, but I seem to remember the "barrier" mentioned in the TV show was at the edge of the galaxy as the Enterprise was moving out from the Milky Way.

I never understood this - why would there be a barrier at the galaxy's edge? As far as we know everything just thins out (as far as stars & such) and you would just go out into open space.

A barrier at the center of the galaxy might be more feasible - we theorize there is a black hole at the center, but toward the middle it gets very crowed with stars, gas & nebulae. Such an area might not have a "barrier" per se, but could theoretically be a dangerous place to travel to... what with radiation surges, gamma ray bursts & gravity wells created by so many heavenly bodies so close to each other.

Wasn't the Galactic Barrier also mentioned in the episodes "Where No Man Has Gone Before", (causing Gary Mitchell and Dr. Dehner to get powers when the Enterprise crosses the Barrier), and "By Any Other Name", (the Kelvans crossed the Barrier and then stole the Enterprise to get back to their side)?

While researching the Galactic Barrier, I could find nothing about why Gene Roddenberry invented or allowed this thing to be introduced into the Star Trek canon. However, I find that there were two more episodes that use it: Where No Man Has Gone Before and By Any Other Name.

Most of us have heard the back stories behind ST-V (and how Shatner claims he got shafted by the studio & was shackled by budget restraints), but despite all that, I wonder what the movie would have been like had Sean Connery played Sybok?

Wonder if he'd have used his Scottish accent? (Can't see them making him try to speak differently.) It could be explained that he and Spock had such different accents since they didn't grow up together or in the same place.
