The </B><I><B>Enterprise</B></I><B> retrieves the </B><I><B>Valiant's</B></I><B> recorder buoy, which was ejected when the ship was destroyed. Analysis of the tapes reveal the </B><I><B>Valiant</B></I><B> crossed the barrier at the edge of the galaxy, was damaged, and was thrown back to our side of the barrier. Subsequently, the captain of the </B><I><B>Valiant</B></I><B> became desperate for any information on extrasensory perception in humans. The final entry in the recorder is the captain of the </B><I><B>Valiant</B></I><B> ordering the destruction of his own ship.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Captain Kirk decides to cross the energy barrier, but the forces encountered in the barrier damage the </B><I><B>Enterprise's </B></I><B>power packs, kill nine crew members, and knock both </B><A HREF="http://www.startrek.com/library/individ.asp?ID=116961" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.startrek.com/library/individ."><U><B>Lt.

While Dehner seems to suffer no ill effects, Mitchell's eyes have taken on a silver glow. In a short time, Mitchell begins to exhibit extraordinary psychic powers: He can levitate objects, see images in people's minds, read and comprehend half the ship's library in a day, and control his own body's autonomic functions (at one point, Mitchell ceases all his bodily functions and "dies" for almost half a minute).</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>An analysis of Mitchell's powers show that he is getting stronger geometrically. At Mr. Spock's recommendation, Kirk sets a course for planet Delta Vega, an uninhabited planet that has the materials necessary to repair the </B><I><B>Enterprise</B></I><B>. In addition, Kirk decides that, for the safety of his ship, he must maroon Mitchell there, an action made all the more difficult because Kirk and Mitchell have been friends since their time at Star Fleet Academy.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Unfortunately, on Delta Vega, Mitchell's powers are stronger than Kirk anticipated. Mitchell murders </B><A HREF="http://www.startrek.com/library/individ.asp?ID=116772" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.startrek.com/library/individ."><U><B>Lt. Kelso</B></U></A><B>, incapacitates the rest of the landing party, and escapes. Dehner accompanies Mitchell, her eyes now showing the same glow that Mitchell's possesses; the effect simply took longer to develop in her.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>After regaining consciousness, Kirk, armed with a phaser rifle, catches up with Mitchell and Dehner. Witnessing Mitchell's inhumane treatment of Kirk convinces Dehner that Mitchell hasn't the wisdom to deal with his godlike powers, and she assists Kirk in defeating him. The effort, unfortunately, costs Dehner her life. Kirk returns to the </B><I><B>Enterprise</B></I><B> and notes in his log that both Mitchell and Dehner died in the line of duty, understanding that neither were responsible for the powers that overtook them.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="040f4010.gif" border=0 width="500" height="1" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>INTERESTING POINTS</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- There is no voice-over by William Shatner during the opening credits.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- Kirk is seen calling for the turbo lift by pressing the top button next to the elevator door. For the remainder of the series, the turbo lift automatically arrives after sensing that someone is standing at the elevator doors. Also, unlike the rest of the series, there are no handles that the occupants need to twist to move the elevator car. Finally, nobody in the elevator stated where they wanted the car to go; it simply took them to the bridge.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- At this point, Sulu is not the Helmsman; he's with Astro Sciences.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- The helm and navigation positions are reversed at the navigation console. All other episodes in the series place the helm on the left side of the console, facing the view screen. Mitchell, the Helmsman, is on the right side of the console.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- On the exterior matte shot of the Delta Vega ore facility, there is shadow movement in the doorway just before Kirk and party materialize. This isn't necessarily a technical fault; an engineering crew had already beamed down to the planet, so the shadow might have belonged to one of them.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- This is the only episode in the series that features the phaser rifle.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- Samuel A. Peeples also wrote the </B><I><B>Star Trek</B></I><B> animated episode </B><A HREF="id113.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="The Animated Episodes"><U><B>"BEYOND THE FARTHEST STAR."</B></U></A></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><U>PLOT FAULTS</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- Kirk comments that the </B><I><B>Valiant's</B></I><B> "old impulse engines" weren't strong enough to resist the magnetic storm that pulled it towards the barrier. However, for the </B><I><B>Valiant</B></I><B> to get as far as it did, the ship had to have had warp drive.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- The barrier appeared to have height and width, so why didn't Kirk attempt to navigate around it?</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- During the entire incident at the barrier, Mitchell is holding Yeoman Smith's hand. While this is a very human gesture (and helps intensify the later change to Mitchell), I have to think Kirk would have told Mitchell to "mind his post" when the </B><I><B>Enterprise</B></I><B> is attempting to break free of the barrier.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- During Spock's viewing of Mitchell's and Dehner's ESP records, the key points were underlined . . . with a pencil. Seems a little quaint, considering the show is set 300 years in the future.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- When Kelso is murdered by Mitchell, he was in the middle of a conversation with Mr. Scott. Why didn't Scotty call Kirk to inform him that something might have happened to Kelso?</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><U>TECHNICAL FAULTS</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- As Kirk, Spock, and Mitchell enter the bridge, the tall, black crewman who enters the turbo lift after they exit is in two different positions when the camera angle changes.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- The command chair and navigation console are placed too far to the right in those shots that place the camera at the main viewer, filming towards the rear of the bridge. The angle is also skewed, as the turbo lift doors are almost directly behind Kirk. The correct angle would show Lt. Alden, the Communications Officer, behind Kirk.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- The panels of the bridge form a continuous circle, breaking only at the turbo lift and the main view screen. However, as Spock is translating the tapes of the </B><I><B>Valiant</B></I><B>, </B><B>the panel in front of him breaks the circle to allow for the positioning of the camera.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- Considering Spock isn't supposed to have (or, at least, show) any emotions, Leonard Nimoy's portrayal of Spock during the barrier scene has the First Officer acting very excitedly.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- When Kirk is crawling up the rock ledge, the wood and plastic "rock" flexes from Kirk's weight.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>- When Kirk fires the phaser rifle into the cliff face, the optical effect of the beam is one quick burst. The sound effect of the phaser, however, continues until the boulder crushes Mitchell in the grave.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
