YES! That one and "A Piece of the Action" are two of my favorites! This clip with the pilot I don't remember this episode at all, and I was pretty sure I had seen all the original episodes!
I remember my 4th grade teacher showing us this episode when we were leaning something about outer space. Probably the names of the planets or something.. but I remember going home and watching old re runs whenever I could! I was hooked. Still am and I wish they had made more than 3 seasons :(
I liked this episode too. As long as you did not over think the story it was fine once once you do however, holes in the story do come out. I read the book "the making of star trek" years ago got the sense on tight time lines and last minute script changes on tight dead lines was one of the enemies of any tv show. In saying this could anyone do any better? My answer would be no. So as long as i an entertained i am fine with it. Overall this was one of the better stories. Two of personal ones where classic to me where "the doomsday machine" and "mirror, mirror". The city on the edge of tomorrow is the best story of all the series IMO. I am sure others have their as well.
My favourite episode is The Devil in the Dark, although I do love this episode, City on the Edge of Forever, and Return of the Archons. 4 years late for the reply, but oh well. 😃🤷🏻♂️
Got to love old TV. The pilot in the plane is strapped in and sitting and when arriving in the transporter he is standing (must be the transporter "molecular erection processor").,Also, a f104 Starfighter interceptor equipped with nuclear missiles/weapons. Love it!.
Spock knew it was possible, but it's doubtful he knew the details of 20th century aircraft armament. The thing that got me was him saying being hit with such a weapon could seriously damage the Enterprise... in other words the ship could be NUKED and survive.
The tech we had on the submarine I was on from 1993 to 1995 was from the 60's. If it ain't broken don't fix it. That still applies today. I bet that ship is still using the same crap now even though it's 30 years later.
I thought some of Star Wars Continues were a nice trip into nostalgia - like the continuation of the Mirror, Mirror episode with evil Spock (and episodes 10 and 11)
Hahaha. This video is marked as "potentially inappropriate" and requires signing it. A clip from the ORIGINAL Star Trek series from 1966-8 ... which would be rated G. UA-cam must be smoking crack.
Now why do you say that? First of all, the character of Sulu is NOT gay and is Japanese. As for your latter part of the comment, how could you compare the Federation to Communism? NOBODY ever said about socialism in "Star Trek." Jesus!
You people are not thinking this thru at all. If they were to develop a way to transport living beings by taking them apart, atom by atom, and sending them in a beam to antoher location, and then re-assembling them so well that bodily functions continue - then the idea that they would do so in such a clumsy way as to require the subject to be in a certain position seems illogical. What I mean is: The computational power required to take the body apart and re-assemble it, atom by atom, would take far more than what little would be required to reconfigure the body as it is re-animated. The wonder of the transporter is not that they can move people around at will, the wonder is that they do it by taking a body apart and putting it back together, atom my atom (McCoy mentions this at least once in the series). Like all of ST, the transporter was based on science theory - it's still fiction, but it was based on theoretical "what ifs". The "what if" in the case of the transporter is mostly: "what if we had computational power to keep track of each atom in a human body while it was taken apart, transported and re-assembled".
The jet in this episode is the famous F-104 "Starfighter", the U.S.'s first Mach-2+ fighter/interceptor, which even today might give the F-22 a run for its money in terms of altitude and maximum speed.
They nicknamed it "missile with a man in it." I think they also pitched producing an upgraded version of it to compete against the F-16 but nothing came of it.
I like how they show only a tiny piece of the show, luckily my wife bought me the entire series when it went on the market, then my niece bought me another one not knowing I already have the entire 3 years.
Just caught up with this footage because i'm planning a diorama project based on the scene where the starfighter is , in this case a1/32 scale revel kit suitably decorated, intercepting the enterprise. And the Enterprise represented by a very small scale kit positioned gaining altitude in the background. Whilst doing research for this project I found the same film footage used in the Star Trek episode on a documentary telling the story of the F104. I suspect that the aircraft is one of the pre production prototypes. USAF reg no52969. The truth will be known with further research.
Paul I must heartily agree---I am watching all the TOS with my 3 yr old son and he will continue the tradition of loving this series...His two favs are Gorn and Tribbles.
If you want to see a better updated scene with the Enterprise buzzing the atmosphere check out the Strange New Worlds scene with "Captain Pikes big stick."
Fyi, this was the first thing kirk and crew did after inventing time warp in The Naked Time. Thing is, most think the tractor beam is magnetic in base but aircraft are made of nonferrous materials so that blows that out. Great episode. This is how u cover your tine shenanigans, not like Picard series. Smh
Clearly, the best Star Trek shows were the Desilu productions. After Paramount took over, we got the Third Season, with Kirk battling interstellar Nazis, mental patients and unruly children.
cut out at the best part... aw man. Oh actually the best part was when they beam up the other guy "oh he's not going anywhere captain, he's quite content to stay where he is" XD
Ooups...I just asked the same question but BEFORE seeing your post! Sorry. But it has always been a continuity error on RODDENBERRY's part (there are so many)!
I loved this episode.. Basically 1960s reality actors playing the part of space travellers from the 23rd century going back to the 1960s... Mind blowing or what? Lol
You're welcome... "Tomorrow Is Yesterday" is the nineteenth episode of the first season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek. Written by D. C. Fontana and directed by Michael O'Herlihy, it first aired on January 26, 1967.[1] It was the first Star Trek episode to be written solely by a woman (Dorothy Fontana had previously written the teleplay for the episode “Charlie X” but the story was credited to Gene Roddenberry). In the episode, the Enterprise is thrown back to Earth in the 1960s, where the US Air Force detects it, so the crew must find a way to correct the damage to the timeline.
When the Air Force pilot was being escorted to the Enterprise bridge by Captain Kirk after he was beamed aboard before his plane fell apart by the tractor beam,he had to be in full control of himself when he saw a beautiful woman and that her legs weren‘t covered.
azure rainbow Nah! It was the 60s, baby! Women wore groovy, mini-mini skirts and bangin’ Gogo boots with chunk heels. (...channels Austin Powers for a moment...). The 60s were the mark of the sexual revolution with the innovation of the bikini.
Why would he beam aboard standing and not in the seated position from the aircraft? Surely this is a massive continuity failure. How do you know to change your body position when you start beaming?
TROLL ALERT. Nine years after it was uploaded, this video was attacked by a set of trolls all asking the same question about the man beamed out of the plane and brought into the transporter room in a standing position. This kind of concerted sneering attacks the good old stuff that people love in the hope of promoting the new trash that people loathe. It is a sign of desperation that they should attempt to tear down classic Trek. This kind of trolling will make us avoid the new garbage even more.
Some are trolls but some are just pedantic blowhards who have no imagination and take everything literally without the ability to suspend disbelief when it comes to fictional entertainment, especially science fiction. They have a need to show how smart they are and point out every inconsistency or outlandish plot device just because they can, instead of just enjoying it
Mid 20th century fighter pilot is in visual range of a flying aircraft carrier, "what ever it is, it's big." They clearly didn't convey to the actor what he was supposed to be observing.
This episode pretty much means that the ship CAN function within an atmosphere. I wouldn't be surprised if it had the possibility to land. I remember a scene in the Abram-verse Kelvin Timeline Enterprise submerging the the ship in the ocean to hide it from the locals, so it IS plausible that the TOS ship could have done the same.
They could have done everything in this scene from the orbit or with a shuttle, so submerging the Enterprise into an ocean seemed kind of dumb and unnecessary to me. Plus, an impulse drive just pushes the ship forwards, which is ok in space but in a planet's atmosphere aerodynamic and gravity comes into play and I highly doubt that the Enterprise could perform well under such circumstances.
Mr Tmax Wasn't the defiant also atmospheric-capable, and landing capable as well? I'm rusty on my DS9 episodes, so I'm not sure it it was or not. That ship was about 3-4 times the size of a runabout.
Oh, both sides did have nuclear armed air-to-air missiles, so Spock’s evil of it wasn’t that far off, though it was unlikely to actually be carrying them. The idea was to lob them into a formation of incoming bombers.
Yea, they were called AIR-2 GENIE. Unguided air-to-air rocket with a 1.5 kilo ton warhead. They were in service until about 1985. Reached a speed of Mach 3.3. F101 and F106 aircraft carried them.
The guy on the other end of the radio had such a thick New York accent, I can picture him sitting in a deli with a lox and cream cheese on a bagel in one hand, and the radio in the other.
Sisko and his team also violate it and are duly investigated. However, Sisko conceals from the investigators the fact that he has altered the timeline by allowing the reintroduction of the extinct species of tribbles.
If the transporter can pull someone apart an atom at a time then piece them back together again all hale and hearty, then probably no great difficulty to yank their legs from a sit to a stand.
One of the Best Episodes Of Star Trek, Along With the Tube Space end Days Machine, And The Episode with The Computer Remote Control that Simulates battle operation,s that goes wrong and ends up killing some Crewe on the Simulated Battle against other Starships, Which ends killing Crewe members of other Starships
English electric lightning out of UK has similar issue . The lightning made The 104 look like a joke. The plane was found on the bottom of the North sea. The pilot was never found.
Bull, not all rich people were born rich, most worked for it.... the only people who don't like "capitalism" are commies, who like to steal it from people who did work to gain it. Commies believe anyone who has achieved anything at all should be required to give most of what they worked for to losers who feel aggrieved because they are jealous and don't have the ambition to achieve, just to make everybody "equal".... yeah equally poor. Picard says that people in the 23rd century don't use money either ; that's also bull, there will always be a need for a monetary system. I enjoy Star Trek, but realistically it's an unrealistic pipedream.
@Tim Fremstad Picards claim that money doesn't exist in the 23rd century is disproved on a number of occasions, especially on DS9, where nothing gets done without gold pressed latinum.
The answer to 'plutocratic capitalism' in Star Trek is a system that allows the replication of almost anything a person could want, making it from pure energy. The answer to socialism and 'social justice' in Star Trek is leaving the past behind and striving only to be the best you can be. Humans in ST look upon others as members of the Federation, as we should be looking at others only as Americans and not some ethnic group. Their economic system is unlike anything we can compare to in our world.
CrunchyNutCornflakes That is because most species do not have access to replicators. All Federation citizens can request free Latinum to do anything they want.
Too bad they didn't show the clip of the 20th century human on board the star ship. That was a good one, especially the part about the little green men.
"Aircraft is breaking up captain". Yeah, the F104 tended to do that.
its a pos
They did not call it a lawn Dart for nothing/or was that the thug?
The widow maker, they called

Im sure thats why they chose film of an F-104. It was known as the widow maker. They were poking fun at it. TV programs liked to do that.

Seeing the Enterprise inside the atmosphere makes it seem more “real”.

I have that exact oxygen mask. I didn't know how old it was, I figured it was from the 80's.
They used them in the 80s too. I think they phased those out in the late 80s early 90s.

Agreed Ken...those who think Star Wars is close to anything as good as Trek are NUTS.

I liked next generation though..loved data & that Borg capture of Picard...you must have liked some?
I dunno TOS looked a bit goofy to me. TNG was my favourite
Damn it, now I gotta see the whole episode...thanks for baiting me, love Star Trek. Not sure if I have seen the episode, thought I had seen them all.

He was sitting while transported, yet he emerged standing up. I call fake!
I thought the same thing. He should have been in a sitting attitude. Then plonked down on his butt as soon as transporting was done.
It doesn't matter that he was standing. That's just the way the transporter was set up.
You people are not thinking this thru at all.
If they were to develop a way to transport living beings by taking them apart, atom by atom, and sending them in a beam to antoher location, and then re-assembling them so well that bodily functions continue - then the idea that they would do so in such a clumsy way as to require the subject to be in a certain position seems illogical.

You are placing realistic parameters on a show that was actually a fantasy tale at the time. They don't call it science fiction for no reason.

*Great show. Alot of people don't know that it was because of Lucile Ball that it made it to TV. She started something great.* 👍
What an honor it would be to be beamed aboard the USS Enterprise. I'd beg them to take me to the future!

Uh, captain, we only managed to beam up his uniform
Good episode! I always wondered about the possibility of something like this really happening.
Not very likely, the amount of energy needed to time travel makes the amount of energy needed for light speed look reasonable.
This pilot would go on to become an incredible Rush Limbaugh fan and live to be one of the oldest men arrested at The Capitol on January 6th.
Imagine how awesome this could look with today's technology! But nooooooo, we got Kirk on a dirtbike!
If you want to see a better updated scene with the Enterprise buzzing the atmosphere check out the Strange New Worlds scene with "Captain Pikes big stick."

so being beam up sitting down you automatically end up standing
yes
thye probably re arange the pattern to standing
If you have the technology to deconstruct a human at the atomic level I'd say it wasn't much of a stretch to have him arrive in a standing position.
The least they could do is have him facing the right direction.
"Very funny, Scotty...
"Now would you kindly beam down my clothes as well!?!"
Thanks! I still prefer the original special effects compared to those from when the episodes' effects were "upgraded".
cut out at the best part... aw man. Oh actually the best part was when they beam up the other guy "oh he's not going anywhere captain, he's quite content to stay where he is" XD

Not bad for someone who doesn't even have the time travel technology.
I'm pretty sure that there will be "Timecops" in the future.
In Star Trek there are. They are called "Temporal Agents"
Sisko and his team also violate it and are duly investigated. However, Sisko conceals from the investigators the fact that he has altered the timeline by allowing the reintroduction of the extinct species of tribbles.
I like how the pilot beams aboard standing up…
If the transporter can pull someone apart an atom at a time then piece them back together again all hale and hearty, then probably no great difficulty to yank their legs from a sit to a stand.
Missed opportunity for humor. Would have been comical if he'd toppled backward :) Mind you, it wouldn't say much for the built-in A.I.
How many trekkies would give their life for this.
I definetely would.
If only Spock had scanned the F-104 he'd have discovered pursuit aircraft didn't have Nukes and this entire episode could have been avoided ...
Tomorrow is Yesterday
HGU 26 helmet with straight bayonets on an MBU 5 mask. That dates it!
For those wondering the plane is an F-104 Starfighter
How is this something that needs to be flagged by UA-cam
This is beyond cool! 👍
One of the Best Episodes Of Star Trek, Along With the Tube Space end Days Machine, And The Episode with The Computer Remote Control that Simulates battle operation,s that goes wrong and ends up killing some Crewe on the Simulated Battle against other Starships, Which ends killing Crewe members of other Starships
Jet pilot: "This UFO looks more like a swanky lounge club than an alien starship or Soviet secret weapon".
English electric lightning out of UK has similar issue .
The lightning made The 104 look like a joke.
The plane was found on the bottom of the North sea.
The pilot was never found.
the Orange flight suit is a curiosity, thats generally more of a test pilot thing.
It's more of a high-altitude thing. Space shuttle astronauts also wore orange suits, easier to spot in case of an accident.
The answer to plutocratic capitalism is Star Trek - a world where technology eliminates poverty, injustice and strife.
Indeed! its a pity however the earth had to be ravaged by a devastating nuclear war to get to this stage.
Bull, not all rich people were born rich, most worked for it.... the only people who don't like "capitalism" are commies, who like to steal it from people who did work to gain it. Commies believe anyone who has achieved anything at all should be required to give most of what they worked for to losers who feel aggrieved because they are jealous and don't have the ambition to achieve, just to make everybody "equal".... yeah equally poor. Picard says that people in the 23rd century don't use money either ; that's also bull, there will always be a need for a monetary system. I enjoy Star Trek, but realistically it's an unrealistic pipedream.
@Tim Fremstad Picards claim that money doesn't exist in the 23rd century is disproved on a number of occasions, especially on DS9, where nothing gets done without gold pressed latinum.
The answer to 'plutocratic capitalism' in Star Trek is a system that allows the replication of almost anything a person could want, making it from pure energy. The answer to socialism and 'social justice' in Star Trek is leaving the past behind and striving only to be the best you can be. Humans in ST look upon others as members of the Federation, as we should be looking at others only as Americans and not some ethnic group. Their economic system is unlike anything we can compare to in our world.
CrunchyNutCornflakes That is because most species do not have access to replicators. All Federation citizens can request free Latinum to do anything they want.
What episode is this. I must have missed this one!

Too bad they didn't show the clip of the 20th century human on board the star ship. That was a good one, especially the part about the little green men.
Assignment Earth...Yes, Brother..."I can see it now."
