From: Marla <SELINGER@RU-BLUE.ARPA> In "Star Trek, the New Voyages" (Volume One or Two, I forget), was the story "Visit to a Strange Planet Revisited". In it, Shatner, Kelley and Nimoy suddenly find themselves aboard the *real* Enterprise (special FX and all) and must play their roles for real, while trying to find a way back home. I very much enjoyed it, but I am really interested in finding the story that is was based on - "Visit to a Strange Planet" (author mentioned in the preface to "Revisited", I just don't have a copy handy). In this story, of course, Kirk, Spock and McCoy find themselves at the TV show sound stage. It appeared in some fanzine; does anyone know where I could obtain a copy or a reprint of this story? Please reply to SELINGER@RU-BLUE as well as to SFL; I am not on the mailing list. Marla -------

I couldn't mail to you either, Jeff. >(paraphrased) which episode was it where Spock "wiped" Jim's memory >of a true love affair. Sorry Susan, but you're wrong. It was "The Paradise Syndrome", and I think it was the cruelest thing Spock could have done. Aside from the fact that the Enterprise's medical facilities would certainly have been adequate to the task of saving Miramane (sp?) I for one believe that such a central, personal, and growing experience for Kirk was something he should not have been robbed of, even at the expense of a protracted period of mourning. I remember being devastated at the end of the episode (which is why I remember it so well!) that Kirk was robbed of what was probably the most wonderful time of his life. Of course if he hadn't, he probably would have realized that he was actually running away from his own fear of commitment to relationships in being the Captain of a star ship and would have resigned his commission and sought another true love instead of "new life and new civilizations"! :-) Chuck Mosher cm@unc

"Requiem for Methuselah" is the episode in which Spock made Kirk "forget". It's true that he lost his memory during "Paradise Syndrome", but (1) that wasn't Spock's doing, and (2) he regained his memory at the end of the episode.

Sorry, Chuck. The Paradise Syndrome ends with Kirk's Indian wife saying "Each kiss is as the first," grunting once, then dying. Spock erases Kirk's memory of Rayna. rjs

From: Gern <GUBBINS@RADC-TOPS20.ARPA> I have been trying to remember where in Star Trek, shows or movies, Kirk said something to the effect: "We all have to take a chance, especially if one is all we have". It has been driving me nuts trying to remember that line for some reason, and I don't have a VCR or anything to search. My first guess is "Tommorow Is Yesterday"??? Anyone have a confirmation? Thanx. Cheers, Gern -------

Fred's name is Hanar, but I don't think that is the episode that Kirk makes the 'We all have to take a chance, espiecially if one is all we ve got.' quote. In fact that's not even Tomorrow is Yesterday. Tomorrow is Yesterday is the one, written by Harlan Ellison, where McCoy accidentally injects himself with a potent amphetamine, (stokaline?), and while mad, jumps thru the Guardian of Eternity's time portal. I still don't think that the right episode however. Kirk does tell the remaining crew, that 'one by one you've all got to try it', (or something like that), but I don't picture that 'chances' quote in that episode. It will come to me eventually.

My first guess is "Tommorow Is >Yesterday"??? Anyone have a confirmation?... The quote is indeed from "Tomorrow is Yesterday." I checked it with an audio tape I made of that episode at least a decade ago. The line occurs near the end of the episode as Kirk, Spock, Scotty, and (Air Force) Captain Christopher are discussing strategy in the Enterprise conference room. Kirk's exact line is "Well gentlemen, we all have to take a chance, especially if one is all you have." -- Tim <CS.MCGRATH@UTEXAS-20.ARPA> -------
