Season Three

Spock's Brain

61 OAD 9/20/1968  SD 5431.4

This has got to be unintentionally, the funniest/worst episode of the lot.

It wasn't shown as the season primier, thank the Diety of your choice.  It would have finished the show right there.

 

The Enterprise Incident

59  OAD 9/27/1968

SD 5027.3

Ah, the Female Romulan Commander...  I was never a big Spock fan but this story was a good one. 

 

The Paradise Syndrome

58 OAD 10/4/1968

SD 4842.6

Kirk loses his memory, heart and bride in this one. 

 

And the Children Shall Lead

60  OAD 10/11/1968

SD 5029.5

Oh, dear...  Well, not all of the shows are winners.

 

Is There In Truth No Beauty?

62 OAD 10/18/1968

5630.7

Beautiful show.  Everything seemed to fit well and this is another example of Diana Muldar's ability.  Thiess' costumes for her are lovely.

 

Spectre of the Gun

56  OAD 10/25/1968

SD 4385.3

This one has it's moments. 

 

Day of the Dove

66 OAD 11/1/1968

I don't have a stardate on the tapes. Unknown

Blustering Klingons and a peace message applied with a sledge hammer, not one of the best.

 

For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky

65 OAD 11/8/1968

SD 5476.3

Interesting premise.  McCoy gets the girl, then gives her up fo continue his research.

 

The Tholian Web

64  OAD 11/15/1968

5693.2

This one is a favorite.  For ones, Lenard's underplaying of Spock hits exactly the right note and Dee Kelly's Doctor is perfect.

 

Plato's Stepchildren

67 OAD 11/22/1968

SD 5784.0

This is a good one.  Remember, this was 1968 and many white southerners opposed the Civil Rights Movement.  It was the first TV interracial kiss.

 

Wink of an Eye

68  OAD 11/29/1968

SD 5710.5

Another favorite, partly because the gang managed to slide another one past the ever vigilent <g> censors.

 

The Empath

63 OAD 12/6/1968

SD 5121.0

Very simple sets push the focus to the people.  Another favorite.

 

Elaan of Troyius

57 OAD 12/20/1968

SD 4372.5

"The Taming of the Shrew in Space..."  This is a good one.  Another example of good friends working extremely well together.

 

Whom Gods Destroy

71  OAD 1/3/1969

5718.3

Enterprise is delivering medical supplies but the facility has been taken over by a madman, Garth of Izar.  Good in many places.

 

Let That Be Your Last Battlefield

70  OAD 1/10/1969

SD 5730.2

Prejudice carried to it's ultimate hatefiled conclusion.  News film of the LA riots is used in this.

 

The Mark of Gideon

72 OAD 1/17/1969

SD 5423.4

Population control is a problem without simple asnwers.  Food for thought...

 

That Which Survives

69  OAD 1/24/1969

SD - Unknown

Another one of the ones I like.

The Lights of Zetar

73 OAD 1/31/1969

SD 5725.3

Oh, dear... Scottie finally has a shot at the girl but the story didn't live up to the potential.

 

Requiem for Methuselah

76  OAD 2/14/1969

SD 5843.7

Favorite! There are so many things that make this one good.  The end is so gentle.

 

The Way to Eden

75  OAD 2/21/1969

SD 5832.3

I have no idea what they were trying to do with this.  Everybody looks bad.

 

The Cloud Minders

74 OAD 2/28/1969

SD 5818.4

Theiss' Costumes are gorgous but the story is labored.

 

The Savage Curtain

77  OAD 3/7/1969

SD 5906.4

Has it's moments, but not one I watch for, I'm afraid.

 

All Our Yesterdays

78 OAD 3/14/1969

SD 5943.7

Spock and McCoy in a frozen past and Kirk accused of Witchcraft in a 17th Century one... Good Spock story.

 

Turnabout Intruder

79  OAD 6/3/1969

SD 5928.5

This was an interesting idea and, personally I think Shatner did a good job on a woman who had gone crazy with hatered and jealousy.
