Article of the Week
"Day of the Dove" was the eleventh episode of the third season of Star Trek: The Original Series.
Responding to a distress call from Beta XII-A, a landing party from the Enterprise beams down to the planet. They find no evidence of a colony nor any indication that one was attacked. From the bridge of the orbiting Enterprise, Spock hails Captain Kirk and reports that a Klingon battle cruiser is approaching. Although Kirk authorizes the Vulcan to defend the Starfleet ship, Sulu determines that the Klingon vessel is totally disabled. A team of Klingons beams to the planet and approaches the Starfleet officers. Kang, the leader of the team, believes that Kirk is responsible for the damage to his ship and for killing four hundred members of his crew. As a result, the Klingon claims the Enterprise as his own and takes the captain prisoner. Both men are unaware of a strange anomaly nearby.
Kang threatens to torture one of the Starfleet prisoners, but has difficulty deciding which officer will suffer – until Ensign Chekov angrily cries out that Klingons killed his brother, Piotr Chekov, on Archanis IV. One of the Klingons uses an agonizer to inflict pain on the Russian. After much debating with Kang, Kirk authorizes Spock to beam the Klingon and Starfleet officers aboard the Enterprise. The landing party is beamed into the ship's transporter room, but the Klingons are suspended in transit and are later arrested.Did You Know...
...that it has never been confirmed whether or not there is any actual blood in Klingon bloodwine? However, the Star Trek Cookbook suggests that bloodwine is made of fermented blood and sugar.
...that Robert Picardo, Ethan Phillips, Dwight Schultz and Alice Krige all appeared together in Star Trek: First Contact and in the Star Trek: Voyager series finale "Endgame"? Phillips played two completely different characters, the nightclub maitre d' and Neelix, but Picardo played EMHs both times, Krige played Borg Queens both times, and Schultz played Reginald Barclay in both appearances.
...the final season of Star Trek: Enterprise was shot almost exclusively on Sony 900 digital cameras, thus making it the first Trek series to be photographed on digital video instead of film. The only scene in the entire season that wasn't shot on digital video was the teaser of "In a Mirror, Darkly", which was shot on 35mm film to better intercut with stock footage from the 1996 movie Star Trek: First Contact.
