Star Trek trivia question I would not have known!
As a person who grew up watching the original Star Trek series and who has occasionally watched the episodes through the 40 years since, I thought I had seen all of the original episodes.
One of our local independent TV stations shows original episodes at 8pm on Saturday nights. While waiting for my wife to finish getting dressed to go out for dinner, I decided to see what episode was on. To my surprise, it was one that I didn't recall ever seeing before. It was "Assignment Earth". OK, it was pretty well done for 40 years ago, but then the real surprise came. A character appeared on the show, a young woman playing a character named Roberta Lincoln. A closer look revealed her to be.......Teri Garr!  She would have been about 23 or 24 at the time and was easily recognizeable. Of course, the voice alone would have told you it was her. If I had been on the "Millionaire" show and the question was "Was Teri Garr ever in an episode of Star Trek", I would have lost! It was fun to see her there. An internet search also revealed that she was in an episode of "Batman" in 1967. Who knew?

Fun episode.
They were testing the waters for a new series with this one. Too bad they didn't pick it up. It would have been good fun.

One has to wonder what effect it would have had on Teri Garr's career? I have a customer who just loves Teri Garr. I don't think I noticed her until she was in Young Frankenstein. It was just very interesting to see a Star Trek episode that I had not seen before!

I always liked the guy who played Terri's boss/the "heavy" in that episode, too. One of the few "Treks" where Shatner was/allowed himself to be upstaged, I thought.

Just caught that episide last night! The guy who played Garr's boss, Gary Seven, was Robert Lansing.
I kinda remembered seeing this episode MANY years ago, only because Lansing's character had a cat he carried around, "Isis". The only specific I had recalled was that the cat turned into a woman - which it did right at the end.

Terri Garr
You discovered her late. 1964, I was 11 - she was in about five Elvis movies and a regular on the Sonny and Cher show. Find Terri in Pajama Party:

Martin Mull had a line about her, I think it went "most guys hold a special place for her... usually right up front".

Since the first time I saw her, she has been a favorite.

I loved her in "Young Frankenstein".
Gene Wilder: "My, what knockers!" Love that part in the movie.
