Your comment lacks logic. This episode is a blatant attempt to spin off a new series. They injected a random new plot line attempting to cash in. It is interesting, but it is not visionary, smart television because it adulterates a series that was already visionary, smart television.
Roddenberry attempted a lot of spin offs that never happened. But ST is the only one that took. It is still a nice change of pace episode that needed more follow up. The boomers never appreciated what they had or any consideration for future generations as they allowed society to drive off a cliff.

Another really great episode… fine acting from ‘Gary Seven’ here. Spock’s affectionate interaction with Gary’s cat is really nice… “quite a lovely animal, I find myself strangely drawn to it” ❤
I think it's the best writing done in all the episodes. It certainly is the most interesting episode imo. It ticks so many boxes in a short time that Hollywood movies have only created a few this deep in the scifi genre.
I just watched 12 O' Clock High for the first time. Was Lansing in this as a young man? Edit: Never mind, looked and see that there was a TV series of the same name as the 1949 movie.
@@HailAnts He was living with a vastly more advanced civilisation than even Kirk's time had, and he knew about Vulcans, so it would be logical (see what I did there?) that he would have been trained to resist the Vulcan neck pinch. He was probably also acting as an Earth-based time warden for his off-world bosses, so would be expected to be dealing with Vulcans at various times in Earth's future.
Unless he was given some type of medicine or training. You just can't turn your nerves off and shrug it off from a Vulcan expert. I would have enjoyed round 2, Spock v 7.
Robert Lansing was a terrific actor, right from the Steve McQueen school of cool. Check out his very good TV series from the early 1960s, 12 O'clock High -- based loosely in the film of the same name, about a WW2 bombing group in Britain. Excellent show, especially given the budgets of the day (it is on RUclips)
He was also great as detective Steve Carella in “87th Precinct” a TV show based on a five decades long series of novels by Ed McBain. The forerunner of “Hill St. Blues”.
That would have been a very logical course of action. They should have included that along with Gary's ability to block the mind meld so they could still have a story.
Gary Seven looks like he's about to say: When life gives you lemon, don't make lemonade, make life take those lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons what I'm supposed to do with these?!?
Didn't they have a machine who detects lies? I think they used it on Scott in that episode he was accused of murdering women, but they only found out he did not remember anything.
I give Picard s2 credit for bringing the Watchers back. I've said for awhile that this would be a cool modern Trek Spin-Off. Seeing that they've recruited Kore Soong and Wesley is running things, this would be the type of Trek series i'd watch...
My favorite ever Star Trek episode - ever, not just of TOS. Such a shame that no-one ever revisited this concept, either then (by greenlighting the backdoor pilot) or subsequently.
One of the best TOS episodes. History, intrigue, time travel - all rolled into one well written and acted scripts. Too bad the spinoff didn't come to pass.
I see that the Picard series involved a character who was working for the same people as Gary Seven. Maybe there's a chance for Gary Seven to finally have a show of his own.
Greg Cox wrote some amazing Star Trek novels using this character & also incorporating other characters... In the 20th Century Seven worked both with & against people like Jackson Roykirk, the immortal Flint, & Khan Noonian Singh... including the launch of the Botany Bay...👍👍
I like how the stark, highly punctuated cue by Fred Steiner originally composed for “What Are Little Girls Made Of?” plays the moment Gary Seven is shown-ups the bad assery factor.
One of the very few episodes where you can catch a glimpse of Scotty's missing right middle finger (around 0:22)...another is when he comes to the bridge holding a bunch of tribbles...there's one or two other episodes that I can't recall right now...Normally Doohan was expert at hiding it.
Finally I caught a glimpse of the missing finger! It’s apparent not in the first transporter console switch operation, but on the second one. I met him in 1977 and didn’t know anything about his missing digit even then.
Another actor who was good at hiding a missing part of his finger was Taiwanese born Phillip Kwok Chun-Fung, known for his roles in Hong Kong films such as The Five Deadly Venoms and Hard Boiled.
MR. SEVEN: Please identify yourselves. CAPTAIN KIRK: This is the United Spaceship Enterprise. I'm Captain Kirk, commanding. MR. SEVEN: Yes, I heard him, Isis. We're aboard a space vessel. From what planet? CAPTAIN KIRK: Earth. MR. SEVEN: That's impossible. In this time period, there weren't... Humans with a Vulcan? You're from the future, Captain. You're going to have to beam me down to Earth immediately. CAPTAIN KIRK: Phasers on stun. MR. SEVEN: Careful, Isis. All right. Captain Kirk. My name is Gary Seven. I am a human being from the 20th century. I was on my way-- CAPTAIN KIRK: Humans of the 20th century do not go beaming around the galaxy, Mr. Seven. MR. SEVEN: I've been living on another planet far more advanced. I was beaming to Earth when you intercepted me. CAPTAIN KIRK: The location of that planet? MR. SEVEN: They wish their existence kept secret. Even in your time, it will remain unknown. MR. SCOTT: It's impossible to hide a whole planet. MR. SEVEN: Impossible for you, not for them. Captain Kirk, I am of this time period. You are not. You interfere with me with what I have to do there, and you'll change history. You'll destroy the Earth and probably yourselves, too. MR. SPOCK: If what he says is true, Captain, every second we delay him could be dangerous. CAPTAIN KIRK: And if he's lying? MR. SEVEN: This is the most critical period in Earth's history. The planet I'm from wants to help Earth survive. CAPTAIN KIRK: What if it turns out you're an invading alien from the future? MR. SPOCK: A most difficult decision, Captain. CAPTAIN KIRK: I can't beam you down without further proof one way or the other. Security confinement.
To me, the Gary Seven character is sort of like the time traveler version of James Bond. Maybe call it Gary 007. It could have become a nice little off-shoot spin-off mini-series of just Robert Lansing with a whole new cast, but now of course that `time` & opportunity with Robert is all gone. Now there have been some rumors of this spin-off actually becoming for real after Picard series ends. 04/13/24
It probably wouldn't have. This was pretty much meant to be its own thing. I also don't think that everyone was really aware of what was going on over in England with Doctor Who. Quite frankly, I don't think they cared either. The Avengers was airing on ABC around this time and it wasn't exactly a rousing success like it was in the UK.
Season 2 episode in which the crew of the Enterprise travel back in time to the year 1967 and encounter a plot which turns out to be more than a simple plot- it's in fact the plot of an in-season pilot of a potential spin-off series about an agent from space, his ditzy 60's secretary, and his space cat which is also a spectacular woman. Or not. Unfortunately the series was not picked up. Too bad.
An anachronistic attempt to generate a cross-over asset. And considering that nu-trek attempted to latch on to this 1960s marketing gimmick as some kind of memberberry is telling. Aside from that, Assignment Earth was a cool episode. Gary was a cool character. And for it's place & time it almost worked. But... Still... it. is. what. it. is.

If you watch it carefully, there are some subtle but significant reasons why the captain would want to confine him at least temporarily. For one thing, he beamed aboard the Enterprise without warning - nobody from 1968 Earth would have been able to do that - so they had reason to suspect he was lying. Also they had no way to immediately verify who he was, and his claims were pretty over the top. You have to remember that the Enterprise served as a form of military defender for Earth and they had previously encountered other aliens with dangerous intentions. Gary 7's claims were also rather bleak and ambiguous, and even though he was well spoken, there was an air of rogue about him. He attacked the security guards and tried to use their transporter without permission. All of this considered, his presence there was questionable and he didn't seem entirely harmless, so I probably would have done the same thing. He wasn't harmed anyway, and when things cooled down he could be questioned later after they did a "background check" on him. What if the U.S. Navy found you trying to get onboard a submarine and they had no idea who you were? Regardless of your story, they would want to check you out.

Used to wonderful effect in many episodes, twice used in “The Galileo 7”. Originally composed by Fred Steiner for “What Are Little Girls Made Of?”

Robert Lansing!!! Awesome and just as good as control in the Equalizer!
I forgot how awesome Robert Lansing is in this episode.
A very underrated episode.
There is an account that in fact this episode was made as a pilot for a Gary 7 TV show Gene Roddenberry had created, but nobody took the option up.
I think it's the best writing done in all the episodes. It certainly is the most interesting episode imo. It ticks so many boxes in a short time that Hollywood movies have only created a few this deep in the scifi genre.
as always there is somebody that has to say this or that is underrated. this was NOT underrated, and it is idiotically stupid to say so.
Robert Lansing had a wonderful commanding presence in whatever he appeared in-“12 O’ Clock High”, “The Twilight Zone”, “The 87th Precinct” and more.
Yes
Exactly, It would have been something special for a Gary Seven series. Too bad the studio could not have seen the possibility.
I just watched 12 O' Clock High for the first time. Was Lansing in this as a young man? Edit: Never mind, looked and see that there was a TV series of the same name as the 1949 movie.
Best music of any TV series, ever.
This was the REAL Star Trek. I miss this series. I'm 70...
I have to agree. I grew up on TNG, but I have to admit the writing here was phenomenal.
Actually, Gene Roddenberry's ideal framework was TNG. TOS ran on a limited budget.

No, Spock usually gets a part of the neck when applying the pinch.In this case, he got the high part of the shoulder.@@wdd3141

"Well I want to speak to Gary One. Throw him in the brig."

Man, did Nimoy's right eyebrow get a lot of work. It should've been giving its own billing.
Kirk never tries to get Spock to mind-meld with Gary Seven.
That would have been a very logical course of action. They should have included that along with Gary's ability to block the mind meld so they could still have a story.
That would have the episode 10 minutes long.
