"The Doomsday Machine"

Picture

    “The Doomsday Machine,” written by science-fiction author Norman Spinrad, was one of five Star Trek episodes nominated for the prestigious Hugo award for 1967, as Best Science Fiction Presentation of the Year. In fact, Star Trek swept the awards category with no other TV series or movie getting a single nomination that year.  Do you know what the other four episodes were?  And which episode the Hugo went to?

    In 1968, in the category of Best Science Fiction Presentation for 1967, The Hugo awards gave out five nominations, and all went to Star Trek.  They were:
  • “The City on the Edge of Forever”
  • “Amok Time”
  • “The Doomsday Machine”
  • “Mirror, Mirror”
  • and “The Trouble with Tribbles.”

And the Hugo went to … “The City on the Edge of Forever.”
   

Picture
    One year earlier, Star Trek had three of the five nominations (the other two going to major science fiction motion pictures). And again Star Trek won.  What were the nominations … and which episode took home the Hugo?
    Read all about it … and all about everything involved in the making of the original Star Trek, in the Saturn-award winning book series, These Are the Voyages – TOS
