Tombstone: "James R. Kirk." Captain Kirk: "Phew, that's not me. "
@zerocool1ist3 жыл бұрын
According to D.C. Fontana in the introduction for Star Trek: The Classic Episodes 1, when the mistake over the middle initial was discovered, Gene Roddenberry decided that if pressed for an answer on the discrepancy, the response was to be "Gary Mitchell had godlike powers, but at base he was Human. He made a mistake." The text on the tombstone appears to be "JAMES R KIRK", followed by "C 1277.1 to 1818.7"; the second number is probably supposed to be 1313.7, which fits with the stardates in Kirk's log entries.. Assuming the "C" stands for "circa", this could be another indication of Gary's fallibility -- he didn't know when Kirk was born and had to guess. The range is 36.6 stardates, close to Kirk's age of 33 we know he was 34 in The Deadly Years. The idea of 1 stardate = 1 year was obviously thrown out the airlock in later episodes

Lockwood said in interviews that the hard contact lenses they used back then hurt too much to wear for more than a few minutes at a time and that he couldn't really see when shooting his scenes so they had to rehearse and block out where he would walk and look beforehand. And Gary Mitchell was doing the finger lightning thing almost 20 years before the Emperor

From Gary Mitchell to people (in story) worshiping Superman to the Asgardians being worshipped as gods by ancient man and falling for their own hype. The trope says a lot about human nature. I'll bet that if we are ever openly visited by advanced alien life, not only will there be people whose religious beliefs are thrown into chaos, but there will be fools who actually start worshiping them.

I remember reading a non canon TNG novel many years ago, about Q - & in this story, it was revealed Trelane was a 'Q' & is being mentored by Q & at one point in the story the rebellious Trelane, who is using the power of the Q to mix up different universes, gets into a kind of battle of 'powers' in which Q is apparently destroyed by Trelane, he does however survive, barely, his consciousness drifting through time & space & into the other realities...until he drifts into the barrier & encounters the Enterprise - in _this_ episode - but, it's a slightly different universe, in which Kirk is 'James R. Kirk', hence the tombstone 0:52 Q at this point is just pure energy & is so weak, he can't quite communicate with any of the ships crew or manifest to them, so in desperation, he 'scans' them for anyone with any kind of psychic connection or latent ability that he can possess temporarily in order to build up his strength again & restore himself to full power & so partly takes over both Gary & Dr. Dana causing the god-like side effects with the silver eyes. interestingly, when he's searching the personas of each of the enterprise crew, he briefly reaches out to scan Kirk, but finds his mind unsuitable & just too erratic & *intense!!*

It was really unusual for a series to get a second pilot. Roddenberry pitched "Star Trek" to the executives as a kind of "wagon train to the stars" figuring that since Westerns were really popular at the time, the executives would be able to "get it." But the execs thought the first episode ("The Cage") was "too cerebral." "They thought I had betrayed them" Gene said. "I had written this wonderful story about where the mind went and they had wanted bare knuckles and a fistfight." So when Paramount ordered a second pilot, Gene made sure it ended with bare knuckles and a fistfight. :)

@marcusanderson90424 жыл бұрын
If he were alive I'm sure he would have lifted the rock during his conversation with Dr. Dehner before she died. And Gary had powers but he wasn't immortal. Plus I'm sure the director filmed the grave sequence to show Gary being off balance to suggest that he simply wasn't able to focus on the rock at all to do anything about it. In each demonstrate instance of his power Gary still had to focus his attention on what he was doing. Even when he telekinetically strangled Lee Kelso he's looking off "seeing" Lee's environment and grabbing the wire cable. Now bad writers not focusing on those details could certainly bring him back to life but it would be bad writing for the sake of pushing product and further diluting the finer details of what makes characters, scenes and stories like this so genuine. Finally there's no need as Gary was basically the prototype to Charlie who in turn was the prototype to the Metrons who in turn are the prototype to Q.

Those contact lenses, according to the actor himself, caused him considerable discomfort. Towards the end of the shooting schedule (six days), he could only stand them for ten minutes at a time, and they are why he seems to be "looking down" in a lot of the shots. That it gives him a superior body language was just a bonus. Lockwood did the episode as a favor to his friend Gene Roddenberry, whose previous show "The Lieutenant" was a starring role for the actor.

To paraphrase and expand upon a quote by Ann Lamotte, when God automatically approves of everything you do and disapproves of all the same people you do, that's when you ought to realize that you have refashioned God in your own image -- which means, whether you realize it or are willing to admit it or not, what you are truly worshipping is your own ego. After all, if you're convinced that there is nothing you need to change about yourself and that absolutely everything you do is justified...then you're essentially insisting that you're perfect and infallible, therefore by definition superhuman and virtually a god incarnate. The ancient Greeks had a word for this...they called it *hubris* and they regarded it as one of the very worst sins a human could possibly commit. For that matter, in the Judeo-Christian tradition, this is basically the same exact sin which caused Lucifer's fall from grace as well as being the sin which led to Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden of Eden. Pride is regarded as the worst of the Seven Deadly Sins because it facilitates all the others.

@AAAnderson055 I disagree. the existence of anything is dependent on evidence and what is in the bible does not provide evidence that god exits only that simple minded people didn't understand the world around them and created supreme beings to help them understand/explain it. 1. The world wide flood didn't happen, there is not evidence for it, in fact there is evidence that it didn't happen. 2. There is no evidence that Moses even existed, Hebrew scholars have studied the exodus and have come to the conclusion that it didn't happen and even if it did it couldn't have happened as it is told in the bible. 3. To get striped animals have them mate in front of striped, speckled or spotted branches and you will get striped, speckled or spotted animals. 4. No way could the sun have stopped moving in the sky as the bible says, it would have meant the earth would have had to stop rotating on its axis. Should that have happened then the people on the far side of the earth would have been flung into space and the people on the sun facing side would have been crushed. That would have required the complete negation of all the physical laws of the universe.

@AAAnderson055 I find no evidence that god or God or any god exists, I haven't said that god doesn't exist only no evidence for its existence. If such a god exists than that god punishes people by what they believe/think rather than in actions. Sorry I go by what is done not by what is thought or believed.

There were two episodes which were the pinnacle of Star Trek for me as a kid. It wasn't until I was a young adult watching Star Trek reruns that I could finally put names to those episodes. One was "Where no man has gone before" and the other being "Who mourns for adonis". Even as a child beings with godlike powers stirred my imagination like nothing else. So as an adult all my favourite stories have a basis in power. Not the boring political type of our reality but abilities far beyond the norm and the further the better.

The power of Gary Mitchell doubles everyday, omnipotent one day but twice as omnipotent the next day, & the next day & so on. He'd literally be a god in a matter of a month at least able to create life, worlds, stars, cellular/molecular reconstruction & regeneration; unbeatable. I don't think that Thanos with his infinity gems & gauntlet would even have a chance including the Living Tribunal, The Shaper of Worlds, The In-betweener, Galactus, The Stranger, The Collector, The Grandmaster, The Gardener, The Champion, The Anti-Monitor, The Watchers, Master Order, Lord Chaos, the Celestials, maybe even the Beyonder. Given enough time, no one would ever be able to beat him, period!

@@luthermcgee7586 Yes Mr. McGee, it is. The only one that apparently and obviously seems very reminiscent of Gary Mitchell is the X MEN comics storyline is Moira McTaggert's son Kevin a.k.a Mutant X: PROTEUS the mutant who has the ability to alter reality within a certain radius around him and the more he used his powers the more stronger he got but his only weaknesses was a constant and continuous need for fresh bodies to inhabit including metal. Even Phoenix herself said that soon he'd be unbeatable. In fact there's a cross over comic book where Gary Mitchell and PROTEUS merged together and the X-Men and the crew of the Enterprise had to stop him. The interesting thing is that the body of Gary Mitchell is the one body that didn't burn out when PROTEUS possessed it. Now that's very frightening too if you think 🤔 it Mr. McGee.
@luthermcgee75863 жыл бұрын
@@brianpaschal7755 , certainly. I agree. But to inhabit metal, that's powerful. Have you ever heard of " the devil in iron"? It was a short story from the volume " Conan the wanderer" which speaks of a being that takes up it's habitation in iron. Can you imagine a confrontation with something like that? But Gary was far more worse because he could by force of will " make" a person do his bidding. But, the devil in iron so inspired me that I've memorized virtually the whole storyline.

@@luthermcgee7586 No disrespectful intentions or offensive reply sir but I believe that you misunderstood me because one of PROTEUS's weaknesses was metal of any kind and sort. Something else I'd forgotten to mention was that also if he possessed another mutant or superpowered being he could add their abilities to his own as well. Either way, the X Men had to defeat him fast or else it'd be too late because he'd be way too powerful to stop.

This is pilot episode # 2, it became an episode in the series due to the fact that when original Star Trek was on the air during its weekly schedule , there was an episode that wasn't ready to air for that week. So in desperation an NBC executive aired this episode. People watching were confused because the uniforms the crew had on were not the same as usual. Plus the crew women wore pants. The following week however things went back to normal. " Where no man has gone before" pilot No.2 had now became part of the original episodes. Pilot No.1 was "The Cage" with Jeffery Hunter as Capt.Pike.
