Synopsis:

In the time of the space age, a future ship's crew lands on a planet on a mission of peaceful first contact. The distrusting inhabitants, however, punish the spacemen for their intrusion, by recreating a famous Western gunfight, with the men forced to take on the roles of the ill-fated cowboys.


Intentions:

A fan edit created to adapt a Classic Trek episode into an original Twilight Zone episode.


Change List:

Original footage edited down to 30 mins with a post-titles teaser and 1 x commercial break. Converted entirely into monochrome. Original TZ season one opening titles in place of the original Trek titles. All opening credits for the original episode now in the opening of Act I. End credits are left in tact, but with TZ season three closing music, and sped up to fit in with the TZ music, plus additional still frames of the three original closing credits.


Additional Notes:

Beyond minor trims throughout the story, the notable ones are as follows, all done largely for timing reasons : - The entire opening bridge scene and Melkot buoy subplot. - Kirk's attempts to temper the situation with both the Earps and the sheriff. - McCoy encountering Doc Holliday for the first time - The original close of Act II is the commercial break, albeit truncated. - An additional shot of the Enterprise flying through space, has been added in the opening moments, post-titles.


Other Sources:

Several of Serling's narrations are edited together, for both the opening and closing: 'The Little People'/'Elegy' (Teaser), 'The Gift' /'The Shelter' (Closing).
