That manager doesn't know what the hell he's talking about! The STAR TREK tapes
that are in circulation right now have *two* episodes per tape, not four, and
though I'm not positive on this point, I think that there is only *five* of the
double-episode tapes (the sixth one being the single-episode "Space Seed"). In
order to have four episodes per tape, the running time of the tape would be
three hours and twenty minutes, which is far in excess of the running time of
any other tape in release (except for two movies: THE RIGHT STUFF and THE SEVEN
SAMURAI).

With the imminence of the Trek-of-the-Month Club, I really doubt that Paramount
would re-release those tapes. We shall see.
