By the end ofStar Treks second season, Kirk and theEnterprisehad encountered many godlike beings and advanced technologies.
That man, they discover, is Gary Seven a 20th-century human and member of an alien peacekeeping force.
Along the way, we learn a bit about his backstory.
The second is a hip 60s woman called Roberta, played byTeri Garr.
The characters play key roles in theEugenics Warsnovels by Greg Coxfrom the early 2000s.
In those stories, Seven finds the boy Khan Noonien Singh in a secret lab in 1974 India.
Of course, psychic paper wasnt added toWholore until theRussel T Daviesreboot.
Clearly, Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln were onto something in 1968.
I have never felt so helpless, Kirk confesses in a supplemental log late in the episode.
Its a telling statement.
Seven and his companions.
After all, humanity still needs a lot of help.
