February 14, 1969 –
The Star Trek episode Requiem for Methuselah first airs on this date.
In it, the crew is confronted by a reclusive immortal on an isolated planet while searching for a cure to a rare disease. When the show repeated in September of that year, it was the last official telecast of the series to air on NBC during it’s initial run.
This is one of many Star Trek productions resembling William Shakespeare’s The Tempest and/or Irving Block’s Forbidden Planet.
