I beg to differ with the "Charlie X" response. The episode "And the Children Shall Lead" dealt with some urchins taking over the Enterprise via mental powers ( and heavenly intervention! :-). I seem to recall that THAT was where Spock got his legs broken -- it was on the Bridge and I think Kirk and he were going to remove one of the kids... Anyone agree? Some trivia/thoughts: Ever notice a resemblance between Philana (Plato's Stepchildren) and Anan 7's wife (who was to have become a `casualty') in A Taste of Armageddon? Was there more than one episode where Kirk says, "Let's get the hell out of here" ? Michael G. Hyde ...decvax!decwrl!rhea!koala!hyde " This is John Galt speaking... "

No, no, no, no, no!
Spock's legs got broken in Charlie X. It happened in the Gym just after
Charlie made "That bad man who was laughing at me" move to another dimension.
Kirk tried Security, but, alas, Charlie then made all the hand phasers in the
ship go away, too. Then Spock and Kirk tried rushing him ("oh, he won't hurt
me. SPOCK: But Jim, theres a chance.... KIRK: I know, I know), and that is when
Charlie put them up against the wall. He also broke Spock's legs to make sure
he (Spock) didn't do it again. (KIRK, (to Spock): This is another fine mess
you've gotten us into.....)

We beg to differ. It was in "Charlie X" that Spock's legs were broken. It occurred in Yeoman Rand's quarters after she opened the intercom to the bridge to summon help. As for us, we prefer not to remember anything from "And the Children Shall Lead". Karl & Debbie

I just saw "Charlie X" and I want to set the record strait once and for all. Spock is not in the gym scene at all. Charlie makes the man "go away" and does likewise to the phasers but he does nothing at all to Kirk (or Spock, naturally) in that scene. Later, in Yeoman Rand's room, Charlie "throws" Kirk and Spock against the wall. When he releases Kirk, Spock tells the captain that his legs are broken. Charlie then releases Spocks legs be- cause he doesn't want to get Kirk mad. It's interesting to note that Spock's legs were never actually broken. Charlie had only locked them in place so that Spock could not move. On another subject: >> Ever notice a resemblance between Philana >> (Plato's Stepchildren) and Anan 7's wife >> (who was to have become a `casualty') >> in A Taste of Armageddon? Does anyone at any point in A Taste of Armageddon say that that woman is Anan 7's wife? I believe that she was not his wife at all since I seem to recall him telling Kirk that his wife had died in the previous "attack." Am I right or wrong?

The woman in question was, I believe, Anon 7's daughter and not
his wife.
