I agree. Spock is a badass. Remember the show where him and Kirk were on the
planet run by Mobsters and Spock made a radio from old tubes and components
so they could talk to the Enterprise?

Heck, Spock did way better than that in another episode, where Bones
went bezerk and jumped into a time portal and Spock and Kirk jumped in
after to save him, and they ended up in a 1920's rescue mission though
at different times. The mission was headed by some hottie woman. Spock
proceeded to build a "time viewer" out of tubes/valves from money
earned at the mission, to determine when all 3 would meet up
time-wise; while Kirk -- that famed pan-galactic loverboy -- kept the
hottie busy socially. And not only did Spock's viewer accurately
locate Bones in the space-time continuum and when all 3 would meet up,
but it also foretold the ultimate demise of Kirk's new heart throb. I
still feel, if Spock had simply clipped a 20 foot piece of wire to his
time viewer, he could have easily picked up the BBC.

I think he actually fell for her. Hard. She should have been part
of the dream world that Picard had to pull Kirk away from in that
one Star Trek movie; that would have made sense.

Spock WAS using his tricorder as a base; but I agree, it was
a masterful demonstration of scientific acumen.

Spock was trying to make the first mnemonic memory circuit using "stone
knives and bear skins". The episode is called 'City on the Edge of
Forever', written by Harlan Ellison. It's regarded by many as the best
one of the original series.

It's my favorite of the originals.
I think that was the episode I first heard the word mneumonics as
well.

I caught an old time radio broadcast a while back. It was a rerun of
a 1950s 'Have Gun Will Travel' (with Richard Boone?). The author was a
little know Gene Roddenberry. To me, that name is so tied to Star Trek
that it was hard associating it with a fifty year old wild west script.

No question about it. "City One the Edge" It is one of the best, if not the
best of all the original series episodes. IMO, it is one of the best Trek
episodes of ANY of the Trek series. It had everything. Good sci-fi
components, great acting, romance, suspense, mystery... I found seeing Mr.
Spock and Kirk all dressed up in depression era clothing while working to
get the time line fixed up to be uniquely powerful in its dreary yet hopeful
way. To me that was the most amazing thing about that episode. There you
had Kirk and Spock that came from a highly advance social and technological
time of human advancement, all the way back in time to the depression ear to
save the future of mankind from the hands of nazis with nukes.
It is altogether spooky and surreal when Mr. Spock uses his mnemonic memory
circuit and tricorder to review the past events and you see the clips of the
V-2 rocket. To add to all of that, you now have the drama of knowing that
the alluring and beautiful Edith Keeler, who remains hopeful for the future
of mankind (Joan Collins), must die to set things right.

I have known people that dont like Trek or Sci-Fi that have watched that
episode and have been affected by it.

I disagree. he made a radio from NEW tubes and components.

He also asked Captain Kirk if they could afford to just get a
cubic foot of platinum (thrown in, I'm sure, for comedy value:
They were working as odd-job janitors on 20th century earth.)

But the original Star Trek was pitched to the executives as "Wagon Train
to the Stars", although a major part of the inspiration seems to have
been Capt. James Cook's expeditions to the south Pacific.

It also has some of the best quotes of any episode. In one scene when
Spock realizes he could have recorded all of earth history from the
tricorder play back, he says succinctly, "I am a fool".

So what was the music they had to replace from the original airing?
It was my understanding they couldn't get rights to for the dvd
release.
