HISTORICAL
NOTE
This episode was Gene
Roddenberry's
second attempt to sell Star Trek to NBC after they turned down the
first
pilot titled 'The Cage." In an unprecedented move, NBC
executives asked
Gene to make a second pilot and the series sold. 'The Cage'
never
aired as an episode so that's why I'm listing this episode as the first
episode filmed.

Some
years before, the S.S. Valiant had encountered a unknown energy barrier
at the rim of the galaxy. Something had then made its captain destroy
his ship.
The U.S.S. Enterprise finds the Valiant's disaster record-marker, which
reveals that just prior to its destruction the crew had been searching
library tapes for any information on psionics.
The U.S.S. Enterprise arrives at the edge of the galaxy and the same
force affects the ship's drives that must have affected those of the
Valiant. Kirk notices a strong personality change in his good friend,
Lieutenant Gary Mitchell, whose latent psionic abilities are heightened
by the force field. Soon Mitchell has gained enormous extrasensory
powers, displaying many talents which include moving objects with his
mind and controlling his own heart rate. To a smaller degree, Dr.
Elizabeth Dehner is also affected by the force field's power and the
two are drawn together by their common powers.
As Mitchell's powers grow, he becomes more dangerous. Spock believes
that when the Valiant experienced the same phenomena, it destroyed
itself to prevent the power from taking over the galaxy. Gary Mitchell
confirms his fears when he informs them that he is becoming a god who
will rule the humans. Spock feels that Mitchell's death is the only
solution, but Kirk is unable to kill his old friend. Instead, he exiles
him to an uninhabited planet. However, once on the planet's surface,
Mitchell kills his guard and escapes, taking Dr. Dehner with him. Kirk
follows with a phaser rifle and Mitchell attempts to kill Kirk with his
psionic powers.
Witnessing this display, Dr. Dehner realizes how inhuman and dangerous
Mitchell has become and tries to help Kirk defeat him. Without remorse,
Mitchell kills Elizabeth Dehner. Before he can refocus his psi powers,
Kirk creates a rockslide that entombs Mitchell, killing him.
Afterwards, Spock admits to Kirk that for the first time in his life, he felt something akin to human emotion. |

yells a lot of his dialogue in a few

It sounds silly.

Once

That doesn't seem practical to me.
A lot of things can go wrong in a 20 year time span.
