Darn those high-gravity black stars! Always accidentally throwing starships hither and yon through time. Although in this case, the crew of the Enterprise manages to correct all the problems they caused by beaming 1960s Air Force pilot Captain John Christopher on board.

Indexer Notes

  1. Time Travel Problems—C. R. Berry gives a nice discussion on why beaming Captain Christopher and the sergeant back to the time they were first taken makes no sense, won’t erase their memories, and opens a whole ’nother can of worms. He also gives an easy solution that the writers could have taken.
