I like the title.
Wasn't this the name of the third pilot based on Gene Roddenbery's Genesis II idea?
IIRC there was Genesis II featuring Alex Cord as a 20th century guy frozen until revived in the far future by a group known as Pax.
Then Earth II featuring John Savage as the same guy in the same future.
Finally Strange New World, which Roddenberry wasn't involved in, but some of his ideas were used. John Savage & 2 others were astronauts who returned to a future Earth & the organization they worked for was named Pax.
I am Dr. Remulak.
Was that the TV net Pax, Kam?
If I can correct you: The second version of "Genesis II" was titled "Planet Earth." It used a script originally written for "Genesis II." The star was John SAXON, who cut his kick-butt teeth on martial arts flicks in the '70's. It also starred perpetual Roddenberry guest star Diana Muldaur. I think Saxon was also in "Strange New World." John Savage played in the flicks "Hair," "The Deer Hunter," and "Inside Moves," and was recently in the Voyager ep "Equinox," and now plays Lydecker on "Dark Angel."
"Earth II" was a 1971 ABC pilot starring Gary Lockwood and Tony Franciosa set on a space station. NBC also ran a series in the mid-90's called "Earth II," it ran one year.
Thanks for the corrections. It has been a while since I've seen any of them.
Oddly enough Strange New World gets rerun the most, Planet Earth less frequently & Genesis II almost never. Almost as if there's a rule that the better the show the less chance anyone will see it.
If the Pax in those stories was based on Pax TV...
Hero: Don't move or we'll show you Touched By An Angel!
Bad Guy: Noooooo!!! Have you no humanity?!? 
I'd like to be Touched by Dark Angel.
Just a note:
Because I wasn't alive when TOS was around, I really can't get used to engineers wearing red and command officers wearing yellow.
I enjoyed this episode. I think what I like about the show so far is that the crew are very much like us, and they react in ways that I think explorers from the 21st century do.
Two points to make. Anaproviline, or whatever the medication is seems to be a wonder drug. Every series of Star Trek has mentioned it's use, even TOS I think. It seems to be used in many different situations.
Also I wonder if the word "phaser" comes from the Vulcans? When T'pol is speaking in Vulcan she seems to say the word. While the humans are still calling them phased pistols.
Phaser is short for "Phased Energy Rectification".
lets see as the show progresses if the writers allow for the aliens perhaps having a universal translator of their own.
Something that bugs me about the uniforms is that they are all about the same color. In the good old days, you could distinguish the Captain and the Chief Enginieer from miles away. "Now in the future" they wear basically the same colors (Purple and Black).
I know. The black collars of TOS gave way to the black yokes of TNG. Then DS9 reversed it and the department colors were now on the yokes. (At least you could still see the differences from a distance even if you had to sqint.) But now the colors are only on the piping around the yokes, and the away teams wear outer clothing and environmental suits, so you can't always see them. The slowly evaporating department colors: R.I.P. (Taps playing softly in the background)
Having the department colors on the shoulder is kinda reminiscent of the movie uniforms.
