Assignment Earth (TOS S02E26)

February 4, 2018

"Using the light speed break away factor", the Enterprise has returned to 20th century Earth. They are here on a mission of to learn the history of how Earth survived the year 1968.

The transporter is activated by some external force and something beams onto the Enterprise. The transporter beam is from 1000 light years away. A strange man with a black cat beams onboard.

Notes

This is it, the final episode of the second season!

Gary Seven, a human for the 20th century. He was living on a different planet and was beaming home. A planet that is unknown even to the 23rd century Kirk.

Seven wants to beam down immediately to help Earth. Kirk has his doubts about his real reasons.

Spock's neck pinch couldn't stop Seven.

Computers sure are snarky in this period.

Basically another alternative Earth episode.

Credentials for police, CIA and NSA were much simpler in 1968.

Boy, Kirk and crew have really messed with history.

Seven has a sonic screwdriver!

This is one boring episode. The crew of the Enterprise seem to have been sidelined in order to feature this Gary Seven character.

This was a bad episode. It felt like a pilot for an American Doctor Who. Seven had a sonic screwdriver looking device and even a companion (a young Teri Garr).
