- The Enterprise encounters two people who use magical means to
convince the humans that they're to be taken seriously when they say
they are would be conquerors. While their powers play upon normal

first Sulu, the McCoy become zombies.

by a strange cloud while conveying the ailing Asst. Commissioner
Hedford to the Enterprise, and brought to a planet where the only
apparent inhabitant is a space pioneer thought long dead.
32. Friday's Child - The Enterprise visits Capella IV to
stop the Klingons from making allies of the warlike natives. When Kirk
saves the Capellan leader's wife he violates their traditions, and he,
Spock and McCoy become hunted fugitives on the planet. In this episode
McCoy utters another variation of his classic line: "I'm a doctor, not
an escalator."
33. Who Mourns for Adonais? - A huge green hand appears
in space and holds the Enterprise motionless. The crew is brought to
Pollox IV, where a humanoid claiming to be the god Apollo wants the to

has been betrothed to T'Pring, his bride who is know more interested
in another vulcan named Stonn. Spock must fight to be her mate.
Unwilling to risk Stonn T'Pring chooses Kirk to be her champion and he
accepts not realising this is a fight to the death.
35. The Doomsday Machine - Commodore Matt Decker loses
his crew, the men and women of the Constellation, to the
planet-devouring appetite of the space-going ultimate weapon. With
Kirk stuck aboard the helpless Constellation, Decker takes over the
USS Enterprise. Finally, forcibly relieved of command by Spock (in the
exchange that climaxes in the now-famous "Vulcans never bluff").
36. Wolf in the Fold - On Argelius II, where Chief
Engineer Scott has taken shore leave a number of young women have been
brutally murdered. Scott is circumstantially implicated, and an
investigation follows-including an Argelian empathic ceremony with the
eerie feel of a séance. Ultimately the real murderer is discovered to
be an inhuman ancient life form that once manifested on Earth as Jack
the Ripper.
37. The Changeling - A probe named Nomad goes, through a
mishap of programming, around obliterating all life forms not deemed
"perfect". Upon encountering the Enterprise it mistakes James T. Kirk
for Jackson Roykirk its creator and decides to return to Earth to
sterilize that planet of imperfections.

VI are plagued by lightning, exploding rocks and poisonous plants. The
childlike inhabitants are ruled by Vaal, a computer which threatens
the safety of the Enterprise and its crew.
39. Mirror, Mirror - Kirk, McCoy, Scott and Uhura are
transposed by an ion storm-induced transporter malfunction to a
parallel universe-a perversely savage version of the universe in which
the USS Enterprise operates like a pirate ship within a brutal
Galactic Empire. Most importantly they quickly realize that their
chances for short-term survival ride on their abilities to adjust
instantly to this barbaric universe and keep their true identities
hidden.
40. The Deadly Years - Chekov discovers the dead body of
an emaciated and greatly aged man on Gamma Hydra IV. All too soon Kirk
and the officers show the same ominous signs of rapid ageing. Kirk

hearing that removes him from command. A desk-bound, paper-pushing
commodore who takes charge of the bridge sends the starship blundering
into the Romulan Neutral Zone.
41. I, Mudd - Harcourt Fenton Mudd stumbles on a planet
full of androids just begging to serve and wanting to study him as a
sample of Homo Sapiens. Harry brings a replacement sample, namely
starship captain James T. Kirk. Then the androids announce their plan
to use the Enterprise to go out and control humanity, which the
androids see as an altogether self-destructive group of beings unable
to run their own affairs.
42. The Trouble with Tribbles - On space station K-7 Kirk
has little patience for orders to protect a grain shipment or for the
arrival of a group of Klingons. But the fast-multiplying, fluffy
tribbles brought by a space trader turn out to be his biggest
headache. Many will say that "Tribbles was one of the best episodes
and one reason is that this one uses gentle humour driven by character
to entertain.
43. Bread and Circuses - Seeking the lost crew of the
Beagle the USS Enterprise trace them to a planet remarkably resembling
olden-day Rome, complete with televised gladiatorial events.
Naturally, Kirk, Spock and McCoy find a way to end in front of the
arena themselves.

ferry a valuable cargo of ambassadors. While a mysterious ship is
following the Enterprise. Spock's father Sarek is on of the

time the Enterprise is attacked and Kirk seriously wounded. Spock's
sense of duty will let his father die rather then risk the Enterprise.
45. A Private Little War - On a pastoral planet, Klingons
supply the Hill People with flintlock rifles and these weapons are
used to attack the villagers led by the peaceful Tyree, whom Kirk had
befriended. Kirk's dilemma: Do nothing, or re-establish a balance of
power by supplying weapons to Tyree's people. This episode pretty much
echoed US government justifications for intervention in Vietnam,
something TV networks have never liked to do.
46. The Gamesters of Triskelion - Kirk, Uhura and Chekov
are abducted by a transporter beam which brings them to the planet
Triskelion. There they are used a gladiators, fighting for the
amusement of the planet's ruler.

half the crew of the USS Farragut. Now Kirk is determined to stop the
cloud from doing the same to his crew.

checks on the progress of lotia, visited 100 years earlier by the USS
Horizon. They find the Lotians live in imitation of the Chicago
gangland mobs of the 1920s, based on a book left by a crew member.
50. By Any Other Name - A race called the Kelvans hijack
the Enterprise for their return trip to their home in the Andromeda
galaxy. They assume human form and the crew of the enterprise takes
advantage of this by satisfying their various temptations of the

correct era and could cause more harm than good.
