Someone mentioned that the transporter is used in "Metamorphesis".  I
don't think so.  Mr. Scott and the ship found their way to the planetoid where
Kirk and crew had been hijacked and Scotty contacted them via communicator.
As I remember Kirk, Spock and McCoy leave Cochraine and Hedford+Companion
and walk back to the shuttle craft.

I did think of another episode for the question about double Kirks.  I
mentioned "Enemy Within" where Kirk fights his evil half.  A double would
be needed for the close up contact.  This would also be needed in
"Whom Gods Destory" when Garth duplicates himself as Kirk and fights with
the Captain.

On another front I heard something about STAR TREK IV.  Rumor has it that
the story for the fourth movie will not a sequel to STAR TREK III.  The
story will take place before the WRATH OF KHAN.  Who knows what is going
to happen.  Supposedly filming will begin in November for release in
June of 1986.  The original plan was for a release in December of 1986
but track record shows that s.f. movies in December don't make it.  Last
year's STARMAN, 2010, and DUNE were pretty much bombs in that they did
not make the earnings as expected.  So with STAR TREK IV on such a tight
schedule can we expect the worst?
