TOS S3 Treku

SPOCK’S BRAIN

Spock loses his mind

McCoy puts it back again

Brain, brain, what is brain


THE ENTERPRISE INCIDENT

Kirk behaves oddly

Ploy to steal cloaking device

How could you do this


THE PARADISE SYNDROME

Kirk’s memories lost

A new life with Miramanee

A tragic ending


AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD

Who cares for the kids

Lawyer in shower curtain

Grief pleases McCoy


IS THERE IN TRUTH NO BEAUTY?

Medusan on board

Ugliness is prejudice

Difference is beauty


SPECTRE OF THE GUN

A trip to Tombstone

Gunfight at OK Corral

Can’t change history


DAY OF THE DOVE

Crew versus Klingons

Entity fans flames of hate

Laughter is answer


FOR THE WORLD IS HOLLOW AND I HAVE TOUCHED THE SKY

Terminally ill

McCoy weds on Yonada

Oracle saves life


THE THOLIAN WEB

Kirk caught in a web

Stuck between realities

Last orders ignored


PLATO’S STEPCHILDREN

Controlled by Plato

They are making me tremble

I am not afraid


WINK OF AN EYE

Don’t drink the water

Time variance proves fatal

Sped up Spock fixes


THE EMPATH

Away team lab rats

Emotion defeats Vians

A pearl of great price


ELAAN OF TROYIUS

Dohlman to bring peace

Tries to infect the captain

His ship got there first


WHOM GODS DESTROY

Trapped in asylum

Garth seeks ultimate conquest

Just one more chess move


LET THAT BE YOUR LAST BATTLEFIELD

White on the wrong side

Futility of the chase

Nothing left but hate


THE MARK OF GIDEON

Life a precious thing

Gideon prolongs crisis

Not mad but desperate


THAT WHICH SURVIVES

Is that Catwoman?

Is beauty transitory?

No. Beauty survives


THE LIGHTS OF ZETAR

Scotty’s beau possessed

Would rather die than hurt him

Strong will to survive


REQUIEM FOR METHUSELAH

Kirk falls for Rayna

Flower dying in desert

Now I love. I love


THE WAY TO EDEN

Seeking paradise

Are you one or a Herbert?

Make your own Eden


THE CLOUD MINDERS

City in the clouds

A lesson in class warfare

Kirk makes Plasus dig


THE SAVAGE CURTAIN

The classic conflict

Evil must be confronted

For good to triumph


ALL OUR YESTERDAYS

Doorways to the past

Spock’s heart melts in the ice age

Back to the future


TURNABOUT INTRUDER

Kirk’s freaky Friday

The bridge is where he belongs

Out with a whimper

ASSIGNMENT: EARTH

Failed backdoor pilot

Crises would fill a tape bank

Prodigy picks up


“I have never felt so helpless” - Kirk

BREAD AND CIRCUSES

Gladiator fights
Revolution televised
Rome will fall in time



“It does often seem that men must fight to live” - McCoy

THE ULTIMATE COMPUTER

M5 takes control

Kirk’s usefulness is questioned

Not fascinating



“Please Spock. Do me a favour and don’t say it’s fascinating” - McCoy 

THE OMEGA GLORY

The Yangs and Kohms clash

But liberty and freedom

Must be more than words



“I’ve found that evil usually triumphs unless good is very, very careful” - McCoy 

BY ANY OTHER NAME

Kelvans hijack ship

Crew reduced to sugar cubes

We would welcome friends



“It’s…green” - Scotty
 

PATTERNS OF FORCE

Nazi planet found
Historians fail to learn
Let the killing end



“A man who holds that much power, even with the best intentions, just can’t resist the urge to play God” - McCoy
