Monday, November 22: in 1968, southern NBC affiliates balk when the first interracial kiss is implied on "Star Trek." When the crew lands on a planet ruled by "Plato's Stepchildren," the crew are used as playthings by a group of aliens who have based their culture on ancient Greece. Among the humiliations of the crew, for the amusement of the Platonians -- a kiss between Captain James Kirk and Communications Officer Lt. Nyota Uhura. The scene was actually filmed two ways: one with a fully shown kiss, the other with the embrace shown from behind William Shatner's head. Though controversial, the kiss was just a miss. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
