This episode, besides being a very good story, is the best example of how comfortable William Shatner became in his iconic role. He's so laid back and understated yet obviously in complete command of the ship and this tricky situation. Usually he's accused of overacting and being over the top but not in this show. It's one of his best performances.

He really with time would have belonged there. But if it wasn't for John Christopher, the legendary Colonel Sean Jeffery Christopher would not have been born. And Sean plays a HUGE role in the advancement of Earth's space exploration.

Why do people think that changing the subject's position is so surprising?

And if they had a computer so powerful, and technology so advanced that it could: Determine the quantum state of every atom in the body. Tear those atoms apart, beem them physically to another location with no machine at the distant end. Re-assemble them and do so in such a way that the heart and brain and all organs continued to function. WHAT is so "out there" about reconfiguring the body to a standard, standing position?

I grew up in the Old South. A bait and tackle shop we frequented still had "White" and "Colored" restrooms with signs to match. My grade school wasn't integrated until 1966. My family was rather progressive by local standards, but we Whites and Blacks seldom associated socially. Nichelle is totally responsible for making me realize as a teenager that Black women could be sexy as hell. After the series ended, when she started giving interviews and TV was courageous enough to air them, I realized they could be rather smart, too. Star Trek was a social game changer and Nichelle was the prettiest piece on the board.

This story was based on real incident in 1952 when a National Guard pilot, Captain Mantell tried to intercept a skyhook balloon over Kentucky mistaken for a UFO . He crashed when his P51 exceeded the altitude he could fly without oxygen. Many people pretend it was a UFO, but the description of the flight characteristics and the fact that a Skyhook balloon, a top secret project Mantell was unaware of, had been launched from another airbase that day, points to Mantell dying chasing a top secret project neither he nor his commander were informed about.

At the risk of being pedantic, oxygen is an oxidizer, not a fuel. The pure oxygen environment certainly contributed to the severity of the fire, but it's not what burned. Things that would be only marginally flammable in a normal air mixture can become highly flammable in a pure oxygen environment. That's one of several things that to be addressed in the redesign of the Apollo Command Module following the Apollo One fire.

And totally unnecessary. Anything a time traveler does in the past is already part of history, even if unknown/unrecorded history. Spock's comment that Cpt. Christopher could change the future to the point that the Enterprise might not exist is illogical, because if it never existed then it couldn't have picked up Cpt. Christopher, who then couldn't have gained knowledge that would put the future at risk. This is something that almost all time-travel stories get wrong. An exception was the early episodes of 'The Time Tunnel,' such as the premier episode where Tony and Doug tried to warn the captain of the Titanic that they were going to hit an iceberg, but he didn't believe them until it was too late.

@@seikibrian8641 I both agree AND disagree with you dude. I definitely understand the point you're making about a 'Time Paradox', and from one perspective you're absolutely correct. If the past was changed to the point that the Enterprise and her crew didn't exist, then they wouldn't have been able to go into the past thus creating the events that changed history. On the other hand however, there's a plausible explanation for this: Alternate Time-line. Meaning that if the past was changed so that the Enterprise and her crew never existed, then that would be true to the extent that the alteration of history created an 'Alternate Time-line' that diverges from the Original Time-line at the point where history is changed. So while neither the Enterprise or her crew would exist in the new branching Time-line, they WOULD still exist in their own ORIGINAL Time-line. And I can't remember what the theory is called, but I remember watching an episode of a show where a Theoretical Physicist (I think it was Dr. Michio Kaku, but I could be wrong) actually explained the underlying idea about this possibility, and if I remember correctly he referred to the 'Grandfather Paradox' as an example of this theory.

An Air Force Captain is not the same as a Star Fleet Captain because Starfleet ranks are based on the Navy, not the Air Force. Captain Kirk commands a ship with dozens of officers and hundreds of crewmen. Captain Christopher commands only a single person craft and at most would only command three or four people on a C-130 Hercules. Captain Kirk is a superior officer.

I miss this old series. Used to watch it with my dad when I was a kid way back when...many moons ago. It was my dad who got me into sci-fi. Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, etc. After watching Star Trek with him, i was suddenly into Lost In Space, and everything sci-fi. It was my dad who took me to see Star Wars at the drive in when it first released, and it was my dad who took me to see the other 2 sequels to that movie. We also hit a theater for the Wrath of Khan. I didn't have a good childhood, it was mostly bad memories, but the good memories i have come from watching sci-fi with my dad before I lost him. The one thing definitely stuck was the love of sci-fi that he introduced me to . I've been all about sci-fi for over 50 years because of him . I wish he could see the stuff that has come since. He'd LOVE Halo....the lore and the game. He would totally be into the video games, Halo, Mass Effect, etc because his job was repairing video games and pinball machines. The old arcade games, Galaga, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Tron, all of these were in his repair shop, and I spent plenty of time in that shop on those machines while he refurbished and repaired games for arcades

No such thing as a "perfectly good" F-104. Short range kept it from intercepting attackers at a distance. Lack of maneuverability limited its ability to reattack targets if the initial attack failed and kept it from dogfighting to protect itself. Fuel limited, it could only stay up for battle a very short time. Yes, it was a very attractive aircraft but being attractive doesn't defend America.

His F-104 was breaking up, according to Spock. Since the scene shows the Capt. being beamed up while still in his ejector seat, he should have been seated, even if he was ejecting at the time. Whether or not the transporter would pick him out of the seat, or take them together, is speculative, but I agree, being standing is WRONG. However, facing away from the console when he re-materializes wouldn't necessarily be a problem.
