"Assignment: Earth" is a second season episode of the original American science fiction television series Star Trek. It was first broadcast on March 29, 1968, as the last original episode in the second season, and repeated on August 9, 1968. It is episode #55, production #55, written by Art Wallace, based on a story by Wallace and Gene Roddenberry, and directed by Marc Daniels. This episode served double duty, not only as an episode of Star Trek, but as a backdoor pilot for a proposed spin-off television series, that would have been produced by Roddenberry, under the same name, Assignment: Earth. The show would have featured actor Robert Lansing as Gary Seven, a futuristic "James Bond", as the lead character. The episode stars Teri Garr as Roberta Lincoln, who would have been a co-star in the series, had it continued on its own. Set in the 23rd century, the series follows the adventures of Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Federation starship Enterprise. In this episode, the Enterprise time travels to 1968 Earth where they encounter an interstellar agent who intervenes in 20th Century events.
