Star Trek TOS/TAS Lists of Lists
compiled by Mark Holtz
(Revised April 7, 1993)
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.

"For one quarter of a century, they have thrilled us with their adventures,
amazed us with their discoveries, and inspired us with their courage. Their
ship has journeyed beyond imagination. Her name has become legend, her crew,
the finest ever assembled. We have traveled beside them from one corner of the
galaxy to the other. They have been our guides, our protectors, and our
friends. Now you are invited to join them for one last adventure. For at the
end of history lies the undiscovered country."

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.

Syndication Notes

United States
-===========-
Star Trek (TOS) is distributed to local stations by Paramount. It has been
edited down in order to fit in more commercials, and is aired according to
production code order, not according to original air dates.
Germany
-=====-
The series is titled "Raumschiff Enterprise", which, translated, means
"Starship Enterprise". The episode, "Patterns Of Force" was not aired in
Germany
. . . That "Patterns of Force" has never been aired in Germany due to its Nazi
theme?
Iran
-==-
The series is titled "Pesh taxan e' faza", which, translated, means "Space,
The Final Frontier"
Isreal
-====-
The series is titled "Masa beyn haKokhavim", which, translated, means "Trek
among the Stars". It is broadcast in English with Hebrew and Arabic Subtitles.
Japan
-===-
The series is titled either "UCHUU Patrol", which, translated, means "Space
Patrol", or as "UCHUU DAISAKUSEN", which, translated, means "Mission In
Space".
Some of the titles were changed in translation. Here are the original titles,
and the alternate titles translated back to English:
"Where No Man Has Gone Before" - "The Glittering Eyes"
"The Naked Time" - "The Evil Space Disease"
"The Menagerie" - "Phantomatic Mystery Beings on Talos"
"The Devil in the Dark" - "Horuta: The Underground Monster"
"Errand Of Mercy" - "The Invasion of the Klingon Empire"
"The City On The Edge Of Forever" - "The Dangerous Trip to the Past"
"The Doomsday Machine" - "The Gigantic Monster in Space"
"Journey To Babel" - "The Invasion of the Planet Orion"
"Wolf In The Fold" - "The Bloodthirsty Felon of Planet Arugirisu"
"The Trouble With Tribbles" - "The New Species"
"The Tholian Web" - "The Crisis of Captain Kirk Entering the Other Dimensional
Space"
Mexico
-====-
The series is titled "Viaje a las Estrellas".
Quebec
-====-
The series is titled "Le Patrouille du Cosmos", which, translated, means
"Cosmos Patrol". The original series has not aired in Quebec since 1985.
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.
Changes from Season to Season
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Changes from Pilot to 1st Season
-==============================-
The opening credits were changed to include a swoosh when the Enterprise flew

"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,
"A Taste of Armageddon"
"What do you mean? I'm a Doctor" - McCoy, "This Side of Paradise"
"I'm a surgeon, not a psychiatrist." - "The City On The Edge Of Forever"
"Well, are you a doctor or aren't you?" - Kirk, "Amok Time"
"I'm a soldier, not a diplomat." - Kirk, "Errand Of Mercy"
"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!"

"The Trouble With Tribbles" - Korax said, "Kirk may be a swaggering,

together."

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

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.
