[net.startrek] Second pilot "Where No Man Has Gone Before"

rjnoe@ihlts.UUCP (Roger Noe) (05/23/84)

The ship's doctor in the second pilot was Dr. Piper and he was played (if
memory serves) by Paul Fix.  Other notables in the cast for this episode:
Gary Lockwood played (Lt.?) Commander Gary Mitchell, Sally Kellerman played
Dr. Elizabeth Dehner, and William Shatner played Kirk for the first time.
[Actually, he played James R. Kirk, not James T. Kirk, unless Mitchell made
a mistake in carving the tombstone.  We were never told what the "R" was
supposed to stand for.]  Well-known stuntman Hal Needham doubled for Lockwood,
I believe.  This pilot was also shown as a first season episode.

Maybe he was James Roy Kirk (spelling again), developer of Nomad.

That was Jackson Roy Kirk the developer of NOMAD.

Does anyone remember exactly what was on the tombstone that Mitchell created
for Kirk?  I'm interested in the dates that are on it - do these dates fall
in line with the consensus that Startrek is suppose to be occuring about 200
years in the future, at least that was the reference made in "Tommorrow is
Yesterday" by the officer who wanted to throw Kirk in jail for that long,
and Kirk responded that that ought to be about right.  Does anyone out there
know what time (using our calendar please - no stardates) the Startrek episodes
actually take place in?
