   It's a magical MiSTery Tour

   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   	So, I had gotten the first half of the first season of _Voyage   
   To The Bottom Of The Sea_ as a Christmas present from my brother-in-law   
   and his wife, and I've been getting to the episodes not quite as fast   
   as I would like.   
      
   	Anyway, I come to the final episode in the set and it's, after   
   about twelve episodes spent secretly shuttling around heads of state of   
   those generic Latin American banana republic/dictatorships or vague   
   Arab-Indian-Australasian kingdoms they finally got around to the one   
   where they have to secretly transport the President of the Whole Entire   
   United States.   
      
   	Even if it wasn't coming right off of the Mysterious Elderly Guy   
   With Vaguely Mystic Powers Who Happens To Be Around On Christmas Eve   
   story (with 'John' from Christmas Island played by Carroll O'Connor and   
   playing that 'Minstrel Boy' song from the Next Generation episode where   
   the Cardassians got all huffy just because the Federation won't stop   
   murdering them) I'd have lost it when one of the Top Secret Government   
   Agency guys turns out to be ... Ed Platt.   
      
   	And joining him on the medical instruments was John Hoyt, who   
   played the guy who wasn't actually legally Doctor McCoy in either the   
   first or the second pilot episode of Star Trek.   
      
   	And directing, of course, was Gerd 'Your' Oswald.  Who also was   
   director for an episode of the original Star Trek.   
      
   	It's like they were aiming an episode to play right into the   
   Bots' various interests.
