Star Trek – The Corbomite Maneuver

Today’s Throwback Thursday post takes us boldly back to where no man had gone before and the original five-year mission of the U.S.S. Enterprise. The first episode of Star Trek produced after its two pilot episodes, “The Corbomite Maneuver” was the tenth episode aired due to the number of special effects involved in the episode. It will mark the first, but certainly not the last, time a ship bearing the name Enterprise would come across something unusual in space. In “The Corbomite Maneuver” that turns out to be an unusual cube blocking the ship’s path. Unable to remove the ship from the path of the cube, and being bombarded with radiation, Kirk (William Shatner) orders the destruction of the cube which leads to all new problems for the crew of the Enterprise after they begin to search for the origins of the crew.

The biggest piece of the third episode of The Old Man is to confirm the identity of Dan Chase’s (Jeff Bridges) daughter, not only as a living person (and not a hallucination like that of his ex-wife), but also reveal her larger role in the events that are occurring. It’s an interesting choice to make to reveal her identity so early in the series, and I think there was still plenty of mileage to get out of her being more of a nebulous character. That said, her conversation with Zoe (Amy Brenneman), even though it ultimately doesn’t convince her to hit the road with Dan, tells us everything we need to know about the Dan/Zoe relationship.
