Whole Past
The crew of the U.S.S.
Enterprise investigate the planet Sarpeidon whose sun is soon to go
nova. Upon beaming to the surface, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy discover the
inhabitants gone and a library containing the planet's accumulated
knowledge.
Kirk, Spock and McCoy
are surprised
to find a lone inhabitant on the surface, Mr. Atoz, the librarian, who
mistakes them for citizens of Sarpeidon. Mr. Atoz has been transferring
people into the planet's past using a machine called the "atavachron."
While investigating this unique technology, Kirk leaps to rescue a
woman he hears screaming and ends transported to a period fraught with
superstitions and witchcraft. Attempting to follow Kirk, Spock and
McCoy enter the atavachron's portal to find themselves in a different
time - Sarpeidon's ice age.
McCoy, who is close to
freezing to
death, and Spock are rescued by a beautiful woman, Zarabeth. While
close to the portals they entered from, Kirk, Spock and McCoy can
communicate with each other but little more. However, this is enough to
get Kirk arrested for practicing witchcraft.
Spock increasingly
finds himself
attracted to Zarabeth, and disturbingly more emotional and irrational,
and even goes against Vulcan custom by eating meat. McCoy convinces
Spock that this time in Sarpeidon's past is linked to Vulcan's
primitive past and that they must return to their own time. Zarabeth
insists they cannot return to the present without dying.
In jail, Kirk is
befriended by a
lawyer, another traveler of Sarpeidon's present, who helps him escape
to find the portal, and return to the library.
Zarabeth helps McCoy
and Spock to
the place where she found them. By following the sound of Kirk's voice,
they find their portal and leap back into the library. Mr. Atoz leaps
to his own designated past and the Enterprise, with Kirk, Spock, and
McCoy safely aboard, warps from orbit just as the sun explodes.

Even though she has

she wasn't given a name. She's listed in the

Here's something
I've wondered
about:
The viewer Kirk was looking at was probably the one
hooked into the Atavacron (it was at a table separate
from the others and closest to the portal) so Spock
and McCoy should have been sent to the same point
in time as Kirk. I find it hard to believe the viewer
that McCoy was looking at would have been tied
into the Atavacron as it was down one of the aisles.
They can't ALL be tied into the portal.
I know, I know, it's just a TV show and without that
happening there would have been no story.
Just thought I'd let you know I notice things like that.
I'm a stickler for details.

This is one of the
