	YES! This episode also doubled as a pilot for a proposed series
but 'no network nibbled'. The source for this is STARLOG #1 many moons ago.
	A series developed from this could have been...interesting.
	The episode itself mainly concerned itself with launching this series,
 lulling most of the people watching it (5-6 in my room) into thinking:
 'WHERE HAS STAR TREK GONE? '. When two familiars did finally turn up :
 'AHH..STAR TREK! I REMEMBER THAT...'. 
	A few minor points: Was the girl's IQ and shoesize really comparable?
	Did  ISIS really look vulcan? Was Sevens' plot device
a 'sonic screwdriver' rip off? Was this episode really boring? (.ah.um.yes!!.)

					Roll on 'Spocks Brain'. <squelch>
