What is Trek In Time?
Join Sean and Matt as they rewatch all of Star Trek in order and in historical context.
Sean Ferrell: On this episode of Trek in Time, we're talking about what didn't happen. Welcome everybody to Trek in Time, where we're taking a look at all of Star Trek in chronological stardate order. We're also taking a look at the world at the time of original broadcast. And here we've done it. We've reached the end of season two of the original series. Can you believe it, Matt? Seems like just yesterday that we hadn't reached the end of season two, but here today we've done it. Brag on my part. We'll be talking about Assignment Earth. Welcome everybody to Trek in Time. I'm Sean Ferrell. I'm a writer. I write some sci fi, I write some horror, I write some stuff for kids. With me, as always, is my brother Matt. He is that Matt behind Undecided with Matt Ferrell, which takes a look at emerging tech and its impact on our lives. Matt, how are you doing today?
Matt Ferrell: Doing well, Sean. I'm still a little jet lagged from my trip to Japan and then forgot last night. Oh, daylight savings time is over. So time has shifted on me again. So I don't know what time it is, what day it is. I'm very tired.
Sean Ferrell: It's blurs day. 13:00 a blurs day. Well, before we get into our conversation about the newest episode we'll be dealing with, which is Assignment Earth, which was originally broadcast on March 29, 1968, we're going to talk about what you had to talk about on our most recent episode from just a couple of weeks ago. So Matt, what have you found in the mailbag for us this week?
Matt Ferrell: Well, this was from the episode the Omega Glory, which both of us were like, how is that made? Not a great episode. And on the screen, if you're watching on YouTube, I just have a bunch of comments that are all of a theme which were along the lines of what the hell? This episode, it was pretty much universal of just like Mark had said. Overall opinion on this episode. Ugh, yikes. Hides face. Happy flappy farm. Agreed on all points. Ugh. Next. So it's. It was pretty universally hand across.
Sean Ferrell: Anybody respond with just.
Matt Ferrell: We also had.
Sean Ferrell: Because that's what I would have responded with if I watched that, I would have been like e pleb nista. E pleb nista, everyone.
Matt Ferrell: Yes. So on that point, because broken Latin from the episode Steve Schwarz Schwarzoff wrote for the first time, I think you've completely missed the point. Referring to our point of the episode, the language is not Latin, but very poorly pronounced. English, where I'll say yes and no, is poorly pronounced English and poorly pronounced Latin. The point is that allegedly patriotic groups like the John Birch Society fetishize American symbols while twisting them into unrecognizable rituals without meaning. That is why Kirk failed to make the connection between because of how twisted it has become. It being a complete mirror of the Earth is the point. If we forget the essence of our principles, we will not deserve their protections. Fortunately, no political groups do that today. So I see why you may have missed the point. So even though I don't agree with complete everything he said in the beginning, because there was poorly pronounced Latin in there as well, I get what he's getting at, which is the point they were trying to make was these things that we hold dear, you have to understand the underlying meaning for them to still hold true, because they can be twisted by other groups and mean completely different things. And we're 100% experiencing that today. So I do agree that that was the attempt of the episode. I just think I completely failed at it because it was so on the nose. And the fact that they were doing American flags and the fact that they were doing the exact Declaration of Independence and Constitution and all that kind of stuff is what made it not work. Because it could have. They could have had the same exact message, but had it be similar, but not the exact same thing. But the fact, because they were making the same exact thing, it was kind.
Sean Ferrell: Of like.
Matt Ferrell: To me, that's what broke the whole thing was the fact that.
Sean Ferrell: They were so on the nose with Agreed, agreed. And I do parallel universe.
Matt Ferrell: But it wasn't.
Sean Ferrell: The point was what the commenter pointed out. The point is that the difficulty, and I'm going to echo what you said, the difficulty here, is that the way they tried to manifest that point was so distracting that it then just became. And it became distracting and it became rah rah America. Through the use of all the symbols and repeated parallels that were just creates a distraction away from the very positive message of if you don't actually understand the principles you hold dear, you're not living by those principles. Like that is a good message and that is a good Sci Fi message. So thank you commenters for those thoughts.
Matt Ferrell: There's still two more that are related to today's episode. When you said wrong answers only. Mark is back with the wrong answers only for Assignment Earth, so strap yourself in Sean. Plot of Assignment Earth. One of the lower deck crew is discovered in the mess hall laughing with colleagues about some discovered paper. When Scotty overhears part of what's going on. He approaches them and demands to know what they're all laughing about. It turns out it is an assignment from Spock's Starfleet Academy days where any non human is required to do a paper about Earth, its history and culture. Spock had managed to get the history stuff answered 100% but drastically failed on the culture with numerously embarrassing misinterpretations. It was an attempt to apply logic to a non logical society. Scotty takes the paper to Kirk, who reads it, quoting gems like numerous civil rights acts solved classism and racism forever, and women are way better cooks and cleaners around the home than men. And then Kirk, laughing, Scotty just gives him an icy stare and says, would you like to express these opinions to Spock's face? And Kirk sees his point. He does tell Spock about it, who owns up to it, stating that the Earth history in books was misinterpreted as 100% accurate and logical. And also produces his quote makeup test where he scored 100% correct. Scotty shows the now embarrassed lower deck crew the makeup test results, stating that the new assignment Earth doesn't read the way it did with Spock. The first non human to take it. Related to that is from the Ironwaffle. Talking about our last episode, your backdoor pilot for a podcast about man in the Suitcase is the best since Star Trek introduced Gary 7.
Sean Ferrell: There we go. Well timed.
Matt Ferrell: Yes.
Sean Ferrell: Thank you. The Iron waffle.
Matt Ferrell: Yes.
Sean Ferrell: And thank you, Mark. What a thoughtful wrong answers only so very, very appropriate. So now that noise you hear in the background, those lights you see flashing before your eyes. No, you're not falling in love. It's the read alert. It's time for Matt to tackle once again last time for season two, the Wikipedia description.
Matt Ferrell: During a historical research mission in 1968, the Enterprise encounters Gary Seven, a human from the 20th century raised on an advanced alien planet who appears to be attempting to alter history. The Enterprise is on its own mission to observe the Earth in 1968 when it beams aboard a mysterious man named Gary 7. Gary wants to get back to the Earth's surface, but the Enterprise command crew are unable to decide how to proceed. 7 tricks the guards and escapes, leading Kirk and Spock to beam down to the Earth's surface. History suggests that on this day, a crucial spacecraft launch failed in the US that changed the course of history. But Kirk and Spock fail to realize that Seven is trying to help the events take place and not stop them. Using his secret portal, Seven is able to reach the launch site and install the device that will cause the mission to fail. The Enterprise can safely return to its present time.
Sean Ferrell: Assignment Earth this is season number two, episode 26 directed by Mark Daniels, Story by Art Wallace and Gene Roddenberry, Teleplay by Art Wallace. We have amongst the regular crew William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. We also see a few of the Bridge crew. Occasionally we see George Takei, Nichelle Nichols, and among guest appearances we have Robert Lansing as Gary Seven, Teri Garr as Roberta Lincoln. Also appearing are Don Keefer, Morgan Jones, Lincoln Demyan, Paul Baxley, Ted Gehring, Bruce Mars, April Tatro, and Barbara Babcock as the Beta 5 computer voice at the time. Original broadcast March 29, 1968 what was the world like at that time? Matt? Think back. What do you remember most from that day in history? Why yes, you remember that you weren't yet born. So let me fill you in on a few of the details that you aren't remembering correctly, such as the number one song, which was thankfully not Love is Blue. If I never say that song ever again, it'll be too soon. Sitting on the dock of the Bay by Otis Redding was the number one song in the US at that time. Take it away, Matt. I'm gonna have to stop you there, Matt, because whenever you sing this song, if I listen to it for too long, it always makes me cry. And in the movies, why yes, Matt, it's not look who's Coming to Dinner, it's the Graduate, a movie we have talked about before on the podcast. But it's nice to see it back if simply to say, yes, it's not that other movie that we've talked about for weeks upon weeks upon weeks. And on television we've been taking a look recently at the shows that competed directly with Star Trek. And now I'd like to take a moment to talk about the shows that were looking for Star Trek to help them out by being a lead in show. So Star Trek had a couple of programs that followed after it. The one that caught my eye the most, why yes, it's that old stalwart Accidental Family.
What's your favorite Accidental Family episode, Matt?
Matt Ferrell: I've never seen this show. Sean.
Sean Ferrell: Yeah, I think if you said, well, it's the one with Jerry Van Dyke, you would have been okay. Accidental Family was a sitcom broadcast on NBC during the first part of the 1967-1968 U.S. television season. It was only on for 16 weeks running from September 15th of 67 to January 5th of 68. It starred Jerry Van Dyke as a widowed comedian, Jerry Webster, who buys a farm in the San Fernando Valley and and has a divorce. A farm manager played by Sue Kramer, who has a daughter the same age as Webster's son. So read between the lines here. Dead wife, check. That was a big one for 1960s sitcoms. Nothing's funnier than having a widower with a young child. Everything from Andy Griffith onward was always about like, oh, somebody died. How about it's the woman? So here we are, following in those footsteps. The show did not make it. Jerry Van Dyke complained constantly about the time slot saying, and I got to agree, you got Tarzan leading into Star Trek leading into a sitcom about a widower on a farm. Not a whole lot of overlap there. It seems like NBC did him dirty with that Friday night time slot. Complaining about it seems appropriate. And when the show eventually ended, it was written up in the Pasadena Star News saying cancellation was no accident. It went on to say that the show had its moments, but it was not given a good chance because of the time slot. And the series deserves the praise. It had a low key slapstick humor, a touching non cloying evolvement of the father son relationship. Some clever knowing conversations between two adults, both in the same marital and parental boat. And it had an almost hip quality. So maybe a show that in different circumstances could have had a different outcome. In April of 1968, Jerry Van Dyke was a guest star on Dick Van Dyke, the comedy variety show hosted by his more famous brother.
And the special included a joke in which Jerry asked Dick Van Dyke if he had seen his show. And Dick Van Dyke said, no, I was out of town that week.
Matt Ferrell: So apparently that's pretty funny.
Sean Ferrell: Well done humor at Jerry's expense. Jerry would go on to. For me, I remember Jerry Van Dyke fondly as one of the cast of the show Coach of which I was a fan, that was on ABC in the 80s and he was a main character in that program. Also trying to benefit from the lead in from Star Trek, the original prime time airing of Hollywood Squares. So apparently at that time, NBC's schedule planners, I can just envision you open up the door to the schedule planning office and it's just a bunch of monkeys and they're all throwing things at the wall. Good luck. So Hollywood Squares as the recipient of the lead in from Star Trek. Wonder how that worked out. And in the news, a number of images showing violence in Memphis as the result of a protest march that devolved into rioting and looting. Martin Luther King Jr. was present. There are several other stories regarding the ongoing issues with the US Government. Stuff about Vietnam, a tax plan. But I want to focus on the protest march and in Memphis, not so much for itself, but for this date. March 29, 1968. April 4, 1968, just less than a week later, Martin Luther King Jr. Is shot and killed. So that's where we are in history at this moment. Martin Luther King Jr. getting on the front page with the New York Times depicting it not so subtly as the rioting and looting was the result of his protest march. And then a week later, the man is dead. On now to our discussion about this week's episode, Assignment Earth. Matt, it's been a couple of weeks since we had a conversation, so I don't remember which one of us let off last time, but how do you feel about jumping off on this one? What were your feelings about Assignment Earth?
Matt Ferrell: Oh, Sean, let me.
Sean Ferrell: I. That was fun. Go ahead.
Matt Ferrell: This episode I have seen numerous times, and as usual, I start to watch it not remembering that this is that episode. It starts out with the whole we went back in time to observe the 1960s of the Earth, to which, in my head, I heard the loudest record scratch ever of. Wait, what? They can just casually. Let's just go back in time. In time we want. Because they make it a big deal in the rest of Star Trek that they kind of go back in time sometimes by accident and. And it's really hard to do, but in this one, it's just like, oh, let's just do it. And then when it starts up and Gary Seven shows up and eventually Teri Garr, my reaction was, oh, oh, this horrible backdoor pilot episode. I remember this one. And there's a part of me, Sean, that is torn on this because I like the idea of the show. I like the idea of this pilot. Like, this is a show I would like to watch. I would have loved to watch it as a kid. I would have loved to watch it as an adult. It's a cool concept. However, what the hell is this doing inside of Star Trek? Because it's so out of place, it's so jammed in. It reminds me of that Brady Bunch episode that did the backdoor pilot for. It was like Kelly's Kids or something like that, which is another. Those episodes are so.
Sean Ferrell: I love it.
Matt Ferrell: It's like when they try to do those backdoor pilots. The thing about backdoor pilots is that they are almost always so out of place because you have to dedicate so much time on these new characters that have nothing to do with the main characters. It's a record scratch. You've got fans of a show watching this. I know why they're doing it. I know why the producers were doing it. But it is such a bad idea because it never will fit. It will always feel shoehorned in. It'll never feel organic. It feels forced. It feels stupid. And I. Last night, Sean, when I was watching this, I got so bored. I kept thinking, oh, my God, there's still 20 minutes to go. Okay, it's gotta be over now. Oh, my God, there's still 15 minutes to go. Oh, my God. I can't believe I have to keep watching this. I just wanted to stop because it's like, I know this episode so well. I almost just stopped it. I hated this. I hated having to rewatch it. I never want to rewatch this episode ever again. I've seen it enough now. It's like, this is it. I'm done. How did you feel about it, Sean?
Sean Ferrell: Just like Kelly's kids, I have a real big soft spot for this and really enjoy this episode. I don't disagree with a single thing you said. Yeah, it is for me. It all revolves around the specifics of the performance within this episode as opposed to how does it connect to the bigger mythology of the show. And the same thing you mentioned, Kelly's Kids. I have the exact same experience where I was like, I'm watching that. I'm like, I would watch this show as a kid. I was always like, oh, good, this episode. I like this episode. And I wish they'd had more. I found Robert Lansing as not Steve McQueen compelling in the lead role. I think Teri Garr gets an exclamation mark after her name in my notes because this was her first major role in a TV show, and it was obvious she is head and shoulders above most guest stars that they have in this program, where it's just like, oh, she's going to be a star. And her comedic timing, her personality, it is no wonder. When they were casting Phoebe's mother on Friends, Teri Garr was their choice because she comes across as effectively like the earlier version of that character. It is this very charming, bubbly, and I love the fact they depict it as like, she's intelligent beyond what you would read initially. So it's not the ditz. It's the very bright person whose life just seems a little more chaotic because their energy is different. I like that depiction. I love Lansing carrying around a cat and then you getting that weirdo image at the end of Teri Garr looks over and sees her as she is. And it's this whole setup of like, well, what is she? Is this. This kind of pseudo magical familiar? But it's. Is it an alien? Is it something else? The fact that he talks to this cat nonstop.
I couldn't help but wonder on this watch through, are they presenting the idea that all cats are aliens and that if you just know how to talk to them, you can actually understand them in a different way? I loved that concept.
Matt Ferrell: I believe it.
Sean Ferrell: So I watched. I watched this very similar to the way I usually watch it, which was. I would have loved this show. I still would. The setup is forced and ridiculous, and it's dumb with a capital D. It is. You mentioned the record scratch when they're like, we've traveled back to Earth of 1968 to do some historical research. And you're just like, what? Not only do you hear a record scratch, I actually saw the record player and saw a man come in and smash the shit out of it with a wrench. It was just. That doesn't make any sense. No time travel has been depicted. As you said, the first time they time travel in this show, it's completely by mistake. And then they start playing with the idea. They very clearly are playing with the idea of maybe they can do it when they want. And it just opens too many bad doors. It's just not a good idea. Because how do you do that in a clean way? And we've talked about that every time there's a time travel episode in Star Trek. We have always revolved around the conversation of it's not a good idea. They shouldn't do it too much. It's hard to manage. And this is the worst example of it. And I think it is easy to just kind of hand wave it away because the point of this episode is not, as you mentioned, the original crew. It's not the point at all. This is a concept that Roddenberry had pitched to the network. The network said no. So they shoehorned it in as a backdoor pilot to try and prove that it was a concept that could find an audience. I think given that the setup of Gary 7, not the setup of this episode, but the idea of Assignment Earth itself is so spot on for pulp novels of the 50s through the 70s. I think if they had tried a little bit harder to make this an actual Star Trek episode, they could have gotten what they were shooting for.
Because I couldn't help but think, what if it was the Enterprise goes to a space station where Spock is going to be a part of a large experiment that he's been working on with several other scientists. And they are going to be launching something into a black hole. And a time traveler shows up to do something to stop or start this event. And through the experience of this, they come to understand that this person is a time traveler from who has been plucked from earth in the 20th century, has been trained to do this kind of work, and is being sent here to ensure that something does or does not happen appropriately. And it raises the whole question of who's pulling these strings and why. And this guy makes a cryptic remark of, I spend most of my time in 20th century earth making sure that they get safely out of the 20th and 21st century. I'm here on special assignment because this mission is so critical. And then disappears into the ether. That would have been a more compelling storyline for Star Trek. It would introduce the character of Gary Seven in a really compelling way, which is what they tried doing with Daniels on Enterprise and all the timey wimey shenanigans they've ever done since, with references to time travel agencies and the Time Wars. And one of my most favorite references in Picard is to this episode because they set up the idea that Wesley Crusher is in fact Gary Sabbin's boss, because he goes and offers a character a job as part of his time traveling agency and refers to Gary 7. So the concept, the use, it's sci fi. Of course you're gonna have time travel at some point. It's sci fi. Of course you're gonna have a Gary Seven like character who's trying to pull these strings and do these things. And I'm all for it, but as you said, the manifestation of it here just feels so shoehorned in that you're left with record scratch after record scratch.
Everything from. You get the, the moment of we traveled back in time. And then you get them arresting Gary Seven for having done nothing. They. They accidentally intercept his teleportation beam and then blame him for it. They lock him up. They do like. None of the characters behave in a way that seems to make much sense to me. They aren't acting like themselves. Spock has the moment where he's just like, if I can't get this to work, you're gonna have to rely on your human instinct. What is this conversation? What is the dialogue? None of it seems like anybody, well, was really concerned with making sure these characters were true to themselves. They aren't behaving well. And it's because their main focus is all Gary 7 and stock footage from NASA, which was legitimately given to Roddenberry, which is impressive because it's good footage.
Matt Ferrell: Yeah, well, it's like the whole aspect of, like, when his name, Gene Roddenberry, came up as story by. I was like, oh, oh. So it's like, here we go. It's like, where's DC Fontana. The whole setup is so broken. And I kind of want to circle back to Teri Garr for a second because I forgot she was in this. When she came in, I was like, oh, this is amazing. I forgot she was in this. I love her so much. And I looked up Teri Garr on this episode and I found an article that talked about how she almost walked off the set when they were filming this because Gene Roddenberry had asked when she came on the set to have her skirt shortened an extra 1 or 2 inches. And she was very angry about it, evidently, because her skirt was, as you saw in the episode, already crazy short. And she was very upset about it. And there was. In the articles I read, it sounded like there was some unspoken stuff around sexualizing her that may have just completely. She basically said she couldn't stand Gene Roddenberry. Like she could not stand him. And none of it never wanted to have anything to do with Star Trek. She has refused to talk about this episode in interviews, evidently, because she's hated her experience so much and she's glad that this backdoor pilot failed because she didn't. She wanted nothing to do with Gene Roddenberry as a producer or anything like that. So when I was reading this, I was like, oh, oh, boy. It's like, here's this guy making a show that's supposed to be so progressive and yet. Yeah, yeah, make her skirt shorter Sean.
Sean Ferrell: Yeah, that's the sad reality. You know, the. The people can have better ideas and better intentions than their lived experience actually demonstrates. And we're constantly seeing that. And this is a case where I think we fall into that camp. So ultimately, this episode, to me, as far as a product of the 1960s, I talked before about how a week after this is broadcast, Martin Luther King Jr. Is dead. This episode does not have that kind of cultural resonance of what it's trying to examine, but it is talking about scientific exploration. It is talking about the Cold War. It is setting up an idea that, oh, this. The things that are being done in this episode are ultimately fear mongering, launching of weapons into space stations to orbit the planet to make it easier to rain down nuclear weapons on your enemies is being presented as a pathway to catastrophe, which you can't. I can't disagree with that. So it's like, this does have resonance from the 1960s perspective of what is the Cold War experience. What are we most worried about, and what are our solutions to getting past it. And the solution in this episode that they present is ultimately your innate human instinct. The solution here is to point to Kirk and say, like, he's willing to trust a guy that he doesn't know because the guy is saying, like, ultimately, I'm here to help. And it goes back to other moments in other episodes where Kirk is the one as the outsider who is saying, you're gonna have to trust me. And it's so. It does have the kernel of that progressive vision of working together, finding common ground, and trusting people despite difference or despite lack of full clarity, like, leaning into trust and idealism is in this episode. How it's presented and how it's built toward is very clumsy.
And as you share in that Teri Garr experience, unfortunately, the progressive attitudes are sometimes left on the page and aren't lived in the room. So it's another example of we can aspire and work harder to get to the goals that we write down in front of us.
Matt Ferrell: They do somewhat address the cultural aspect of the day. There's one sentence that Teri Garr says about how, like, her generation is viewed as rebels and kind of being crazy and kooky because many of my generation don’t think we’ll be alive by the time we're 30.
Sean Ferrell: Yeah.
Matt Ferrell: And so she. She did touch on all the stuff with it, kind of Martin Luther King and the Cold War and all that kind of stuff, kind of explaining there's high tension right now in the world, and there's a reason why my generation is viewed as crazy, because we don't think we may be alive by the time we're 30. I thought that was kind of nice, but I was like, that's one sentence, an entire episode. They could have done more to try to surface it a little bit more. I also have a question for you. Did you have this feeling that I had when you. He pulled out his little sonic screwdriver of like, they're just full on ripping off Doctor who. It really.
Sean Ferrell: I watched this episode thinking, oh, is this Roddenberry's Doctor who? Is that what they're ultimately doing? If so, I'm there for it. I'm there for it being like Doctor who presented as the references that Gary Seven makes, it is not hard to envision. Like, is he talking about the Time Lords? I'm a person from 20th century earth who was taken to a planet where they're far more advanced and they're concerned about the rightness of history and making sure the timeline is kept correct. And I have been trained to do all these things. We just had an episode of Strange New Worlds in which they put the TARDIS in the background. And we know that the showrunners of both these shows are fans of each other, and they're talking about, like, could we do something Timing Wimey. I mean, come on, give me a timey Wimey crossover in which it turns out in the Star Trek structuring of what time travel looks like, it's a government office. While in Doctor who, it's whatever that is. Like, give it to me. Build that bridge. I'm all on board for it. Give me Gary Seven. It's just like, he's been trained by the Time Lord. He's a human, but he's trained by the Time Lord. I'm all for it. I will also point out that the era of the day being in the episode, in an uncanny and somewhat disturbing way, Spock talks about what they're there studying, and there is a reference to on the. At the time of the launching of this mission which fails. He references the fact that there is an assassination of a political leader. It is a strange, eerie inclusion where they were building into their script that things in the culture are difficult and result sometimes in tragic circumstances. And then a week later, Martin Luther King Jr. Is assassinated. Weird, weird stuff. Beyond that, Matt, this episode leaves me with not a lot to talk about as far as, like, there's not a lot of meat on this bone.
It feels like all bone. It's just like, here's this. And you're like, that's a stick. It's like, all right, so at that point, I think we're looking forward to season three, which we'll be starting next time with the episode Spectre of the Gun, which. Wrong answers only. What's that one about? Let us know in the comments. Don't forget, comment about this conversation. Did you hate this episode? Like, this episode where you, like me and I think Matt were both like, that happened and it could have been different and maybe better, but it was that. So where do you land on all of this?
