A guy beamed out of a fighter jet is 17th century?
I know, too many of the titles use too many of the same words.
I wish there'd been a title of "Yesterday Once More".
More Parallel Planets?!?!?

Nice! Thank you.
Because there seems to be some overlap in almost any episode, even All Our Yesterday's had some Parallel aspects to it.
I just saw Sevrikon's post I think you meant All Our Yesterday's instead of Tomorrow is Yesterday. Sorry if I'm presuming too much.

Now there's an idea: Carpenters World.
After receiving the planetary distress signal, which is calling the occupants of interplanetary craft, Kirk and company beam down and immediately wonder why birds suddenly appear every time they are near. They are told that Only Yesterday, planetary government officials were on Top Of The World, but now they can only touch when they're dancing.
They could find planet Yesterday that is populated by the Lennon-McCartneys and they are under attack the Blue Tholians.
Roddenberry tried this in his "Planet Earth" TV-movie, with mixed results.
I like that idea. Chekov/Koenig would have been thrilled to death. I'm not sure Kirk/Shatner would have liked it. He wasn't overly enthralled with both the actor and the character.
Not really. They're both about racism, but story wise they're nothing alike. Barry Trivers isn't credited for Story By on "Battlefield", but Coon—as Lee Cronin—is. Fred Freiberger recalled, "Gene [Coon] originally had a devil with a tail chasing an angel." I dunno if that's true, but if so it makes clear the one did not come from the other.
I think the connection between the two scripts, suggested by Solow and Justman, was them misremembering. "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" was not based on a previous story outline; it was a newly commissioned story outline by Gene L. Coon.
I'd put Trelane and the Platonians in a different catagory. They're aliens playing dress up by dressing like humans.
Granted, though I think I would separate those two. Wouldn't you say that Trelane, despite his stated close study of Earth, dressed like the fop that he was and had his pad done in period fashion as well just for the benefit of his guests? Of course, its not unlikely that he didn't appear in human form at all otherwise except for this instance of fun and games.
I don't recall having the sense that the Platonians changed their garb for the purpose of some identifiable reference point for their human playthings. Am I forgetting something in that there was something to suggest that their comfy costumes weren't, in fact, standard issue for them?

He assumed it was the current fashion and was surprised that he was out of date. But yes his intent was to make the human feel at "home".
They based their society on the Ancient Greeks
So it was their normal dress but one taken from Earth.Plato's Stepchildren said:
I'm sure glad that no alien society based itself upon Beavis and Butthead.
Heh-heh. She said 'Cool'. Heh-heh.
