January 26, 1967 –

The Star Trek episode, Tomorrow is Yesterday in which, the crew of the Enterprise is flung back in time to the sixties, where they must correct the damage they have caused to the timeline, first aired on this date on NBC TV.
This is one of the rare occasions in which it can be seen that the middle finger on actor James Doohan’s (Scotty) right hand is missing. He took great pains to conceal its absence during the series, but he is leaning on that hand – with only three fingers visible – when he informs Captain Kirk that the engines can be repaired, but that there is nowhere for them to go in the 20th century.
