The STAR TREK CLASSIC LogBook - Part 1 Downloaded from the Net and sent in by Alex van Kaam "The Cage" - "The Undiscovered Country" 1966 - 1991 Written by Earl Green "Star Trek" created by Gene Roddenberry 01 THE CAGE written by Gene Roddenberry directed by Robert Butler music by Alexander Courage (Crescendo GNP cassette & CD # GNP 8006) Stardate not given: The starship Enterprise, commanded by Captain Pike, runs across a distress signal which Pike discounts as being outdated, but when a follow-up message concerning survivors of an Earth ship is picked up, Pike follows the signals to Talos IV. Pike and a landing party find a group of almost-too-healthy survivors there. Among them is a young woman named Vina who catches Pike's eye and then leads him into a trap while showing him the crash site. Pike is captured by Talosians, aliens with much larger brains than humans, and is subjected to illusions which are designed to compel him to mate with Vina, who turns out to be a human in captivity. The rest of the crew, meanwhile, struggles to recover Pike, aware that the Talosians' power of illusion is an effective weapon.

Kirk is suspicious - and McCoy alarmed - when the Craters refuse, in spite of the threat, to remain on their planet. The landing party returns to the Enterprise with an extra passenger - a shape shifter who can assume the shapes of Enterprise crewmembers and who has been living with Professor Crater in the guise of his late wife, whom the creature killed.

Peeples directed by James Goldstone music by Alexander Courage (Crescendo GNP cassette & CD # 8006) Stardate 1312.4: The Enterprise is en route to the edge of the galaxy, where a barrier of energy lies that has never been penetrated. When the Enterprise reaches the barrier, it is buffeted by intense energy, injuring many on board. First Officer Mitchell and psychological observer Dr. Dehner are affected as well, and it becomes apparent that their latent ESP abilities have been activated by contact with the barrier. The crew must then contend with the rapidly strengthening super-human beings who now consider the other people on board to be an inferior species.

Lt. Riley locks himself in engineering and shuts down the engines, which may be needed to get the ship away to avoid damage from the planet's impending destruction.

Although Mudd can't help but be suspicious, the women follow his instructions to cripple the Enterprise without any questions from the male members of the crew.

Kirk and Chapel beam down and discover that Korby has used abandoned technology left behind by an extinct civilization to create android companions for himself - one of which, an attractive and very user-friendly "girl," arouses Chapel's suspicions. Korby, however, has become deranged in his isolation, and wants to take over the Enterprise so he can populate the "inferior" organic universe with androids... Guest Cast: Michael Strong (Dr. Roger Korby), Sherry Jackson (Andrea), Ted Cassidy (Ruk), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), Harry Basch (Brown), Vince Deadrick (Matthews), Budd Albright (Rayburn) 09 MIRI - Oct 27, 1966 written by Adrian Spies directed by Vincent McEveety music by Alexander Courage Stardate 2713.5: A remarkably Earthlike planet is the home of a human-like civilization whose entire adult population was wiped out by a virulent disease. The children remain, although their growth has been slowed down to the point that Miri, a teenage girl found by Kirk and a landing party, could easily by 300 years old. Miri develops a crush on Kirk, but at the same time reports back to a gang of unruly children who plot to kidnap the landing party, beginning with Yeoman Rand. Kirk, Rand and Miri begin to show signs of the disease, which gives Kirk a chance to prove the disease will eventually kill all of the children but they're not willing to admit they need help or the "stuffy" advice of an adult.

Bar-David directed by Vincent McEveety music by Alexander Courage Stardate 2715.1: Kirk and ship's psychiatrist Dr. Noel visit a Federation mental hospital as the Enterprise delivers supplies. But one cargo container beamed aboard the ship contains an apparently insane stowaway from the facility on the planet who isn't a patient, but the second in command of the hospital's director, who has invented a device that can lock emotional impulses in or out of the brain permanently and apparently used his invention without any discretion. Spock and the crew discover that Kirk and Dr. Noel are trapped on the planet, and are probably the next victims of the mind-altering machine.

When Kirk discovers that the cube will follow the ship or block its path, he orders the cube destroyed. At this point, an enormous vessel appears, and alien captain Balok declares that he will destroy the Enterprise in minutes. Kirk bluffs his way out by claiming that all Federation vessels have "corbomite" aboard, which he will detonate if Balok threatens the crew. Balok attempts to escape in an escape craft, but the Enterprise catches up and contacts the real Balok - a representative of an alien race whose members, in adulthood, look like human children. Lt. Bailey, whose emotional outbursts had been disrupting the already fatalistic attitude on the Enterprise, agrees to stay with Balok as an "exchange student" so he may learn more about the diversity of life in the galaxy. Guest Cast: Anthony Call (Lt. Dave Bailey), Clint Howard (Balok), Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Rand) 12 THE MENAGERIE - part one - Nov 17, 1966 written by Gene Roddenberry footage from "The Cage" directed by Robert Butler new footage directed by Marc Daniels music by Alexander Courage Stardate 3012.4: The Enterprise is summoned to Starbase 6, apparently by Captain Pike, who commanded the ship before Kirk. Commodore Mendez shows Kirk, Spock and McCoy, however, that Pike was recently paralyzed in an accident and could not have signalled the Enterprise. Spock creates false messages from Kirk and sends them to the ship, instructing the crew that Spock and Pike will beam up immediately, the Enterprise will be piloted by computer to its next destination, and that Kirk will be staying behind. Kirk and Mendez follow the Enterprise in a shuttle, which runs out of fuel when Spock refuses to slow the Enterprise down so the shuttle can come aboard. Spock finally allows Kirk to catch up and then places himself under arrest. Kirk is unable to disconnect the computer from the helm, and Spock's court-martial begins. Spock offers, as evidence, visual records of a voyage on the Enterprise on which Spock and Pike served 13 years earlier. The bridge then informs Kirk and Mendez that the recording is being sent to the Enterprise from Talos IV - a planet that, according to Starfleet regulations, is absolutely off-limits to all vessels, punishable by death. Guest Cast: Sean Kenney (Captain Pike), Malachi Throne (Commodore Mendez), Hagan Beggs (Ensign Hansen), Julie Parrish (Miss Piper) Appearing in footage from "The Cage": Jeffrey Hunter (Capt. Christopher Pike), Susan Oliver (Vina), Majel Leigh Hudec (Number One), Peter Duryea (Lt. Tyler), John Hoyt (Dr. Boyce), Meg Wylie (The Keeper), Adam Roarke (CPO Garrison) 13 THE MENAGERIE - part two - Nov 24, 1966 written by Gene Roddenberry footage from "The Cage" directed by Robert Butler new footage directed by Marc Daniels music by Alexander Courage Stardate 3013.1: Spock reveals that the Keeper of Talos IV has control of the viewscreen and the evidence being presented. The screen shows the events that occurred during Pike's visit to Talos IV in great detail, but Spock has difficulty convincing Kirk and Mendez of the validity of what they are seeing as well as the tremendous power of the Talosians. When the evidence suddenly stops, Mendez orders Kirk and Pike, the ranking officers forming Spock's trial board, to make their verdict, and all find Spock guilty. The final part of the record of Pike's adventure then continues, and then Commodore Mendez vanishes from the Enterprise. The Keeper himself tells Kirk that the Mendez that accompanied him in the shuttle and the trial was an illusion projected from Talos IV, and that Pike is welcome to return to the planet and be restored, as Vina was, to his former strength and health. Both parts of "The Menagerie" used footage of the original series pilot "The Cage" as the visual evidence of Pike's early mission. Guest Cast: Sean Kenney (Captain Pike), Malachi Throne (Commodore Mendez), Hagan Beggs (Ensign Hansen) Appearing in footage from "The Cage": Jeffrey Hunter (Capt. Christopher Pike), Susan Oliver (Vina), Majel Leigh Hudec (Number One), Peter Duryea (Lt. Tyler), John Hoyt (Dr. Boyce), Meg Wylie (The Keeper), Adam Roarke (CPO Garrison) 14 THE CONSCIENCE OF THE KING - Dec 8, 1966 written by Barry Trivers directed by Gerd Oswald music by Mullendore Stardate 2817.6: Kirk is contacted by Leighton, a friend from Kirk's stay on the Tarsus IV colony years ago, who believes Kodos the Executioner, the militant dictator who gave the order for scores of people to die on the colony during Kirk's stay, is at large in the guise of touring Shakespearean actor Karidian, who, with his touring company, has stopped over at Leighton's post for a performance. Kirk isn't convinced until Leighton turns up dead, leaving Kirk and Lt. Riley the only remaining living witnesses of the massacre. To investigate further, Kirk invites Karidian's company to travel on the Enterprise to their next performance, and attempts on Kirk and Riley's lives begin immediately. Guest Cast: Arnold Moss (Karidian), Barbara Anderson (Lenore), Bruce Hyde (Lt. Riley), Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Rand), William Sargent (Dr. Leighton), Natalie Norwick (Martha Leighton), David-Troy (Larry Matson), Karl Bruck (King Duncan), Marc Adams (Hamlet) 15 BALANCE OF TERROR - Dec 15, 1966 written by Paul Schneider directed by Vincent McEveety music by Fred Steiner Stardate 1709.1: Responding to distress calls from border outposts along the Neutral Zone between the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire, Kirk and the crew receive a final message from a Federation station reporting an attack from an invisible ship. Before the station is destroyed, it sends the Enterprise a brief view of the attacking vessel - a streamlined fighter which appears for a second when it fires. Hurrying to the scene, the Enterprise engages in battle with a Romulan Bird of Prey, armed with a cloaking device and commanded by a battle-scarred and tired commander whose crew is more eager to go into combat than he is. The Romulans, to the Enterprise crew's amazement, bear a stunning resemblance to Vulcans, which arouses suspicion in some, including Lt. Styles, whose father died in a battle with the Romulans years ago. But as long as the Romulan ship can remain invisible, the Enterprise is at a disadvantage. The unusual similarities between Vulcans and Romulans are finally addressed in 1991 in the "Next Generation" story "Unification," in which Spock, in his 120s or older, traveled to Romulus to investigate resuming relations between the Vulcans and Romulans. Guest Cast: Mark Lenard (Romulan Commander), Paul Comi (Styles), Lawrence Montaigne (Decius), Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Rand), Stephen Mines (Lt. Tomlinson), Barbara Baldavin (Angela), Garry Walberg (Hansen), John Warburton (The Centurion) @~More episode details next issue - o -
