Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, Leonard Nimoy guest stars in "The Tiburcio Mendez Story," episode 26 of the fourth season of Wagon Train (original air date March 22, 1961). If you're playing along at home, you probably remember that Gene Roddenberry originally pitched Star Trek to the studio as “Wagon Train to the stars.”

Nimoy plays Joachin Delgado, the protégé and future son-in-law of the titular character. Mendez is the leader of a ragtag group of Californios who were displaced fifteen years earlier when the United States annexed California at the end of the Mexican-American War, and the Gold Rush brought a wave of prospectors and settlers west into the new territory. They've been living rough in the hills at the edge of the desert and robbing the occasional wagon train, partly to survive and partly to try to stem the tide of Anglo settlers.

A magistrate traveling with the wagon train believes he can get the group's original land grants restored to them if the individual members who actively committed the robberies agree to turn themselves in and stand trial. Seeing how his people, especially the children born in exile, are suffering from the harsh life in hiding, Mendez agrees to the plan. But the younger men, led by the hot-headed Delgado, resolve to stay and keep fighting.

Armed conflict breaks out between the two sides, and Mendez is fatally wounded. In tears at the deathbed of his surrogate father, Delgado promises to take Mendez's place as leader of the reunited group and see them back to California to reclaim their land.

Other Trek Connections:

This episode was written by Gene L. Coon, one of the Founding Fathers of Star Trek. He wrote or co-wrote 13 episodes of The Original Series and produced 33. Working closely with Roddenberry and Justman, he introduced such elements as as the Klingons, the United Federation of Planets, and the Prime Directive into the Trek lore.

Tiburcio Mendez is played by Nehemiah Persoff, who also played the delightfully bitchy Palor Toff in the Next Generation episode “The Most Toys.”

kirk and spock's slowburn in tos is explicitly about navigating being queer in the 60s there is just no way around it, and tbh if u consider the canon era theyre living in as like a resurgence of 60s sensibilities in the same way that we're currently going thru something like that now in the 2020s, a lot of shit in the show falls into place in very interesting ways including like. the fact that they really truly believe they are living in an idealistic utopia. which is very 60s of them*

I’m going to unlearn shame *bursts into tears and beats my head against a brick wall*

remember that time that spock said “this is about sex” but he couldn’t say sex so instead he said “biology” and kirk clearly knew what he meant but was awkwardly like “what kind of biology” and spock got this look on his face like ‘oh lordy i’m not dealing with this today’ and said “vulcan biology” and kirk can’t say the word sex either so he goes “u mean the biology of vulcans” and then they stood there in silence for ten seconds like a pair of fucking idiots

UMM ?? THAT IS KIRK TALKING TO HIM?!! THAT IS CAPTAIN KIRK TALKING TO HIM.

I feel like they went as far as they could with the queer ''subtext'' at the time in the very last episode. Especially since these scenes are technically with an actress. They truly went all out

#ok but can we talk about how spot on her acting was here. #that is literally Kirk in her body. she got possessed by kirks spirit as an actress i swear #again and again i am delightfully surprised after watching tos and seeing how great the acting (usually) is #i have been jaded by too many crappy shows #video
