    Description

    This is a
    Revised Final Draft copy script
    (not a vintage original script) from the classic 1960's sci-fi action/adventure television series,
    STAR TREK
    , created by Gene Roddenberry. It is from
    Season 2, Episode 7
    , which was entitled
    Catspaw
    , in which very alien visitors to our galaxy attempt to connect with human consciousness but miss, winding-up tapping into the regions of human nightmares instead.
    Based upon a story by Robert Bloch, the teleplay was written by Bloch and D. C. Fontana and dated April 27, 1967. This Revised Final Draft copy script (not an original script) consists of four acts in 64 pages on white stock which were 3-hole punched and bound with two brass brads without any covers. This script is complete in very fine condition with light wear on the top left corner of the title page. There are no missing pages, tears, stains, or other flaws, nor are there any handwritten notations within.
    The title of this episode,
    Catspaw
    , is a term that describes a person used by another as a dupe. As McCoy points out, Scott and Sulu are used as catspaws to lure more crewmen down. This is the
    first episode to feature all 7 of the "classic" cast members
    who would be brought back for future big screen adventures: Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov, although they do not all appear in the same scene together.
    Catspaw
    also marked the
    first appearance of Pavel Chekov
    , though not the first one broadcast--that honor goes to Star Trek: The Original Series: Amok Time (1967). Notice that Walter Koenig was still growing his hair out and therefore had to wear a rather unconvincing wig.
    The Three Witches are iconic characters from William Shakespeare's Macbeth, a play which inspired frequent allusions throughout this series. The three witches seen towards the start of the episode were intended to be shown as floating severed heads, hence the reaction from the landing party at their appearance. The characters wore black turtlenecks against a black backdrop, with light shining directly up into the face. Unfortunately, the effect did not work and the turtlenecks worn by the actors can clearly be seen. Even in the remastered version of the episode, this oversight is still present. A detailed metal prop miniature of the Enterprise was created for this episode, then laminated in lucite as one of Korob's tricks. The miniature was donated to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum by Gene Roddenberry.
