Here are the episodes which are contained in the Star Trek videotapes put out by Paramount Home Video. Volume 1 - "The Menagerie", parts I and II. Volume 2 - "Amok Time" and "The Journey to Babel" Volume 3 - "Mirror, Mirror" and "The Tholian Web" Volume 4 - "The Trouble with Tribbles" and "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" Volume 5 - "Balance of Terror" and "The City on the Edge of Forever" If there are more than 5 volumes, I am unaware of it and would appreciate any who know better to post that information here or mail it to me. I am not endorsing these products by this posting. Roger Noe ihnp4!ihlts!rjnoe

I sure get tired of the blotchy, hacked-up reruns we get around here. I guess that's what you get from many years in syndication. Also, what about price? Bob May !hp-pcd!bobm

The STAR TREK tapes that are in circulation right now have *two* episodes per tape, not four, and though I'm not positive on this point, I think that there is only *five* of the double-episode tapes (the sixth one being the single-episode "Space Seed"). In order to have four episodes per tape, the running time of the tape would be three hours and twenty minutes, which is far in excess of the running time of any other tape in release (except for two movies: THE RIGHT STUFF and THE SEVEN SAMURAI). With the imminence of the Trek-of-the-Month Club, I really doubt that Paramount would re-release those tapes. We shall see. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
