Journey to Babel
This Story: Season 2 Episode 10 (production code 2.15)
TOS Overall: Story 39, Episode 40
Trek Overall: Story 39, Episode 40
Airdate: 17 Nov 1967
Written by D.C. Fontana
Directed by Joseph Pevney
Notes
- The first appearances by Mark Lenard as Sarek and Jane Wyatt as Amanda Grayson – Spock’s parents. Mark would return to the role several times in the future (in a few of the TOS era movies, and two Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes). Jane Wyatt would return only once more, in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Oddly, she didn’t share a scene with Mark Lenard who was also in that movie.
- This contains full Starfeet dress uniforms during parts of the episode. This wasn’t the first time we ever saw them (Court Martial, The Menagerie), but is the first time we saw the big three in them at the same time.

Another top ep. The Enterprise has to shuttle a bunch of political delegates to a conference - including both of Spock's parents. The situation is combustible, and the ship is attacked by another on the way. pic.twitter.com/If3pbsWnER

LOVED all the Spock family drama, not to mention the space battle. There's some great comedy sprinkled through this too. The best part was McCoy getting the last word at the end. pic.twitter.com/0qoGMxlqkO
