"This Side of Paradise" is the twenty-fourth episode of the first
season of the original science fiction television series, Star Trek.
It was first broadcast on March 2, 1967, and was repeated on August
10, 1967. The episode was written by D. C. Fontana and Jerry Sohl
(using the pseudonym Nathan Butler), and directed by Ralph Senensky.
The title is taken from the poem "Tiare Tahiti" by Rupert Brooke and
the novel "This Side of Paradise" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
