Many people have pointed out that I goofed on this one, that I confused
"Tommorow is Yesterday" and "Assignment Earth," and to this I reply:
"Ooops"!  Actually, I believe that the slingshot effect was used in
both episodes, on purpose in AE, and by accident in TiY.

Anyway, onwards and upwards, or something like that.  It has been
stated that "Assignment Earth" was a pilot for a Star Trek spinoff.
Did anything ever come of this, or was the idea tossed before any thing
was put on film?
