After a long wait, the U.S.S. Enterprise has received a response from the planet Eminiar VII. They had hoped to contact the planet and establish diplomatic relations with the inhabitants in the star cluster. But the message they receive in return is simple: stay away.

When Kirk gets that reply, he intends to respects their wishes. But no sooner does he order the Enterprise to change course than a man arrives on the bridge and overrides Kirk. This moment must have shocked the first viewers of “A Taste of Armageddon” from the first season of The Original Series of Star Trek. After all, who could override the Captain on his own ship?

The answer is the United Federation of Planets, for whom the man, Ambassador Robert Fox (Gene Lyons), works. Although “A Taste of Armageddon” aired in 1967, the distinction between Starfleet and the Federation still confuses viewers today.

TV show description:

After 20 years of police service, San Francisco Police Department (Sfpd) Chief of Detectives Robert T. Ironside (Raymond Burr) was forced to retire because a sniper's bullet paralyzed him from the waist down, confining him to a wheelchair.

He later gets himself appointed (in a clever way) a "special department consultant" by his good friend, Police Commissioner Dennis Randall (Gene Lyons).

He requests that Detective Sargent Ed Brown (Don Galloway) and young socialite-turned-plainclothes officer Eve Whitfield (Barbara Anderson) be assigned to him.

Ironside also recruits angst-filled African-American ex-con Mark...
