In memory of the Worthy. (Part 2 of 3)
Contents |
[edit] Summary
The Worthy familiarize themselves with their new situation. Tomlinson sends USS Exeter to investigate the hold-up in Lamver unit testing. When the Enterprise-A tries to return the Worthy to their home, they find a disaster has occurred.
[edit] Background Information
- This issue marked the final series appearance of R.J. Blaise, who was removed from the series at the behest of Gene Roddenberry's licensing office. Gene (or Paramount associates) were concerned that supporting characters were again stealing the spotlight from the main crew. She would later return in one Star Trek Special.
- In keeping with the story's theme, cover artist Jerome K. Moore incorporated the words "Lost in Space" into the hair of the boy alien, Arrit. This was caught and removed by the editor, but Will Robinson and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial still make cameos in the assembled crew in the background. Moore based the likeness of the daughter alien on Kirstie Alley. [1]
