Okay, here’s another digression:

The studio received a significant number of letters form boys saying things like: Kirk needs a Captain’s Woman.

These were taken to be by boys under pubescent age. The standard response was something like:

\*I’m not sure you know what a “Captain’s Woman” is, and you really should ask your mother about it.

\*🆒

* * *

From the oldest episode to be directly broadcast, the second pilot:

“… Did another Earth ship once probe out of the galaxy as we intend to do?”

Yes … and they wanted her to be played by Stephanie “Girl from UNCLE” Powers. The mind boggles…! :o

You tell McCoy she had better be the best assistant I’ve ever had!\*

\*I just now, after more than 40 years, caught the _double entendre_ there! :smack:

Dunno about that, but I would have loved to have “probed” Dr Helen Noel myself! 😃

Either **The Making of Star Trek** or **The World of Star Trek**. Because I read it, too, somewhere.
