--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 ALL OUR YESTERDAYS --------------------------------------------------------------------------- WRITER: Jean Lisette Aroeste GUESTS: Ian Wolfe (Mr AtoZ) Mariette Hartley (Zarabeth) AIRED: March 14, 1969 HACK-MAN rating: .770 Usenet rating: .702 QUOTES: ======= - "There *are* witches!" --Fat Man ALL OUR YESTERDAYS PLOT: ===== A rescue mission to a planet whose sun is about to [super]nova results in Kirk, Spock, and McCoy being sent to various areas of the planet's past. Kirk is to be tried as a witch, but eventually gets back to the present with the help of another time-leaper. Spock and McCoy are sent to a glacial age. Spock falls in love with Zarabeth, a redhead convict, who was sent back into the glacial age as punishment. The librarian (Mr. AtoZ) runs the time machine with android clones of himself. You put a disc of the time period you want to travel to and jump through a portal. The discs look surprisingly a lot like compact discs! FACTS: ====== - 1 Stardate = 1.25 hours to 16.08 hours. - McCoy is this week's dork. - The people of the planet have mastered time travel but not space travel. - Since Spock is in the past, he is capable of early Vulcan lust and anger. - Nominated for "Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction and Scenic Design" Emmy in 68-69 (Walter M. Jeffries, Jr., Art Director, and John Dwyer, Set Decorator). OPINIONS: ========= A pretty good (and original) story. There were a few minor flaws, however. Why does Spock revert to a 5000 year old Vulcan but McCoy doesn't revert to a 5000 year old human? Spock mentions that "Kirk has gone through the portal to a different time, much later", but didn't Kirk go through the portal *after* McCoy and Spock? How did Spock know that Kirk was even *in* the portal?
