Thanks Lima. Sorry I missed this. Wow, I can't believe this post has been here a week, and I'm the first to reply! I thought for sure some of the "regulars" would jump on this. Especially the crossover Trek fans!
Anyway, all the Eddie Paskey episodes you mentioned Lima, were Season One.
BTW, "The Carriers" also guest starred Star Trek regular George Takei, and recurring Trek and M:I actor Barry Russo.

It has been reported here on the Star Trek Board.

"The Ransom" was practically a Star Trek reunion.
It featured:
Captain Merik (aka Merikus) -- The captain who became a Roman
Boma - The guy who talked smack to Spock when they were stranded on a planet of apelike beings
DeSalle -- The guy in charge of the Enterprise when Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, and Sulu were all down on the planet of the Black Cat. He almost but not quite became a regular on the show.
Tal -- The Romulan subcommander who had the unfortunate job of breaking the news to his boss that her new lover Spock was just using her.
Jojo Krako -- He wanted to be the boss on the planet of the gangsters. He spent his spare time throwing darts at a picture of the other guy that wanted to be the boss.
Anyway. this trekkie was most excited to see
Leslie -- King of the redshirts.

I've been watching Star Trek TOS episodes a lot lately and every time I see Lt. Leslie I actually have begun saying "Hi Lt. Leslie!" and waving hello at the screen of my phone. Rest In Peace, Eddie.

Uh oh. Pretty soon, you will be one of those nerds that knows every TOS episode by heart.
