Star Trek: Remastered episodes for May 2008

Scheduled for this month, on Star Trek: Remastered. . . .
Weekend of May 3: "Assignment: Earth"
The Enterprise journeys back in time to 1968 and intercepts the transporter beam of Gary Seven, who claims that he must sabotage a US missile test in order to save humanity from itself. This episode was Gene Roddenberry's pilot of sorts for a potential Star Trek spinoff series. NBC wasn't interested in 1968. Never fear, fellow Trekkies. I'm sure Gene Roddenberry's Assignment: Earth will eventually hit the airwaves in our lifetime, based no doubt upon three scribbled notes left behind by its creator. There's actually some chance for visual creativity in this episode for CBS Digital. We'll see if they take advantage of it.
Weekend of May 10: "Court-Martial"
Kirk is accused of purposely causing the death of a crewman who was also an ex-friend and visual evidence from the computer seems to implicate him.
Weekend of May 17: "A Private Little War"
The Enterprise finds that part of the population of a once-peaceful planet has now been armed by the Klingons. Naturally, the Enterprise gang arms the other side to even the odds. One of those sleepy Star Trek "message" episodes intended as a reflection on US foreign policy.
Weekend of May 24: "Whom Gods Destroy"
Kirk and Spock beam down to a Federation mental health facility (complete with yet another torture chair) and find out the hard way that the inmates are running the asylum. Though somewhat of a rehash of "Dagger Of The Mind," this episode at least offers a variety of alien species, including the first appearance of an actual Orion slave girl (who you just know would show up if there's ever a Star Trek edition of Deal or No Deal). There's also a classic Kirk vs. Kirk battle. You can never see too many of those.
Weekend of May 31: "The Mark Of Gideon"
Kirk attempts to beam down to planet Gideon, only to find himself still in the transporter room and the entire Enterprise crew missing. Though parts of this episode require a real suspension of disbelief, this is still one of my favorite third-season entries.
