Name That STAR TREK Episode...

No to Alt Factor, though the logic was good. Off to bed but here's another clue.
-----------------------------------
Clue 1: An unplanned visitor.
Clue 2: Talk about lucky timing.
Clue 3. So close to the actual term.
 
The Enemy Within?
1. Bad Kirk appears on transporter pad.
2. No one in transporter room when he appears.
3. Enemy within is Kirk's "evil" side.
 
The Enemy Within and Savage Curtain are not the episode I am going for.
-----------------------------------
Clue 1: An unplanned visitor.
Clue 2: Talk about lucky timing.
Clue 3: So close to the actual term.
Clue 4: "Hey! I thought Star Trek was on...oh"
 
Sounds like Assignment: Earth. Seven is the unplanned visitor, it's lucky timing when Roberta stops Scott from beaming him back aboard, so close could be the voice typewriter, and thinking Star Trek was on and being confused a symptom of the backdoor pilot.
 
Sorry, Phaser Two, not the episode. And that would a bit too sneaky, offering up clues for the episode I just guessed.
 
Clue 1: An unplanned visitor.
Clue 2: Talk about lucky timing.
Clue 3: So close to the actual term.
Clue 4: "Hey! I thought Star Trek was on...oh"
Clue 5: Oops! Another unplanned visitor.
 
The Menagerie?
1. The visitor is Spock to see Capt. Pike.
2. To be called to Starbase while Pike was in hospital there.
3. ?
4. We spend most of the time watching the Cage on the TV monitor.
5. The next visitor is Pike on the Enterprise which surprises McCoy.
 
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield...,
I think you got it, SB.

The third clue had me baffled. For this episode, the close term might be:
LOKAI: I've heard of it. It's in the United Fleet of Planets?
I guess there are no assists in this game?
 
Not Let That Be Your Last Battlefield or the Two Manageries.
-----------------------------------------------
Clue 1: An unplanned visitor.
Clue 2: Talk about lucky timing.
Clue 3: So close to the actual term.
Clue 4: "Hey! I thought Star Trek was on...oh"
Clue 5: Oops! Another unplanned visitor.
Clue 6: It's good for the soul.
 
The City on the Edge of Forever? I'm just WAG-ing now in total confusion.
No though in a way you are closer than most. A final clue then:

Clue 1: An unplanned visitor.
Clue 2: Talk about lucky timing.
Clue 3: So close to the actual term.
Clue 4: "Hey! I thought Star Trek was on...oh"
Clue 5: Oops! Another unplanned visitor.
Clue 6: It's good for the soul. <------I really thought this one would give it away.
Final clue: By that statement, did Kirk mean twelve or thirteen?
 
I'm passing since I'm too exhausted to come up with the next game. I still don't get Clues 3, 4, and possibly 6?
 
Okay here we go. The episode was Tomorrow is Yesterday.

Clue 1: An unplanned visitor.
....The first unplanned visitor was Captain Christopher.
Clue 2: Talk about lucky timing.
...It's a time travel episode where an accidental sling-shot not only sends them back in time, but they end up at Earth over the United States in the 1960s. Lucky. Also, the show gets the moon landing happening on a Wednesday part right.
Clue 3: So close to the actual term.
...The catalyst for the episode's circumstances is "black star of high gravitational attraction." The term "black hole" won't be popularized until the early 1970s.
Clue 4: "Hey! I thought Star Trek was on...oh"
...The opening teaser features nothing to indicate you are watching a Star Trek episode until the Enterprise appears in the last few seconds.
Clue 5: Oops! Another unplanned visitor.
...The Air Sergeant is beamed aboard after activating the emergency signal.
Clue 6: It's good for the soul. <------I really thought this one would give it away.
...Chicken soup
Final clue: By that statement, did Kirk mean twelve or thirteen?
...The age old question on the number of Starships like the Enterprise.

---------------------
There you have it. I pass the baton to Discofan.
 
Thank you!:)

About Black Holes: They've been first predicted by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916, who unfortunately died before he could peer review his work. The first to reformulate it as "a region of space from which nothing can escape" was David Finkelstein in 1958. However, the term "black hole" was created by American astronomer John Wheeler in 1967. Still, the real genius here is Karl Schwarzschild who did all the work in 1916 and died because the German government wasted his talent on the front, determining the trajectories of cannon balls and stupid crap like that!

About Einstein: He didn't believe in Black Holes and thought that they were a physical impossibility. (so much for the popular belief that Einstein discovered everything about the General Relativity and knew better than all his contemporaneous colleagues!)


I will give my first clue in a few minutes. Let me think about it a little first. ;)
 
Ok, the first clue will be rather hard and then they'll get progressively easier until everyone ( even me;)) will be able to answer them:

Here it goes:

1) Coincidentally there's 555 of them (reminds you of anything?)
