Pu-lease! "The Enterprise Incident" was the episode when Kirk, supposedly insane, takes the Enterprise into the Romulan neutral zone. In reallity they are after the cloaking device. The episode with the sling-shot effect and Captain Christopher was titled "Assignment Earth." -- John L.

"Assignment: Earth" was when the Enterprise intentionally went back in time to investigate the explosion of an H-bomb somewhere in the late 1960's, and we met Gary Seven (played by Robert Lansing), and his secretary Roberta Lincoln (played by a very young Teri Garr). The episode with Captain Christopher, the slingshot effect, etc., was called "Tomorrow Is Yesterday". Jim Campbell

No, No, No! "Assignment Earth" was when they *deliberately* went back in time using the sling-shot effect and met this "human" called Gary Seven... The original sling shot episode with Cpt Christopher is called "Tomorrow is Yesterday". -- Sarima (Stanley Friesen) {trwrb|allegra|cbosgd|hplabs|ihnp4|aero!uscvax!akgua}!sdcrdcf!psivax!friesen or {ttdica|quad1|bellcore|scgvaxd}!psivax!friesen

You green blooded, pointed eared, > inhuman..... (That's enough, bones).. And what do you suppose COTEOF stands for, hmm? It's one thing to gripe justly, and another thing completely to gripe just for the sake of using up space (Take this gripe, for example...). Oh, uh, just to be fair, shouldn't that be "most and least favorite?" Best and worst makes it sound like you wrote them (naw, it COULDN'T be!).
