I wonder if the logo theme error was due to this episode and the season premiere episode of M:I both having aired the same week of September 11-17, 1966 ("Charlie X" on 9/15/66, and M:I pilot on 9/17/66)? ~Ben

Here's the comment from John80220 (in the link above) that is mystifying me... Now, I already know about the slightly different version of the audio recording of Shatner's narration (on the episode in question, it's the speedy version without the pause between "These are the voyages..." and...

And how many of you believe that "The Man Trap" and "Charlie X," when originally on NBC, actually first used the unique main and end title themes from the original unsold 1965 TV movie version of Where No Man Has Gone Before? That's in addition to the faster narration these first two episodes...

And you would think that Paramount would have restored the electric violin version of the end title theme (as used on "Where No Man Has Gone Before") on the 1999 DVD prints of these season 1 episodes as well: "The Man Trap," "Charlie X," "The Naked Time," "Mudd's Women," and "Dagger of the...

Thank you for solving this mystery about the way he narrated on the first two episodes! The first two episodes (in broadcast order) did not have "Starring" above William Shatner's credit. As you said, these two also had the speedy narration as well as Gene Roddenberry's name in the series title...

To clear things up on why I started this discussion, the "slightly different" came from John80220's reply to my comment on the Star Trek "Arena" end title; his exact words were: "Originally, Episodes 1-2 had the electric violin music opening and closing, but Shatner's reading of the line in the...

Yes, I do post there too (same username). Yes, I have learned that it was simply a different recording. I also noticed he did not use a long "i" sound (as in "bite") on the word "civilizations" until around episode 17 ("The Squire of Gothos"). I originally picked up the "slightly different"...

I'd been told by John80220 that the first two episodes (in order of broadcast) of the first season of Star Trek (TOS), "The Man Trap" and "Charlie X," had a slightly different version of William Shatner's opening narration, which usually goes: "Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of...
