(directed by Gerd Oswald and featuring Jeff Corey, Harry Townes, and Jason Wingreen), and "ZZZZZ" (featuring Marsha Hunt, Booth Colman and the voice of Robert C. Johnson).

Dolinsky was invited by Gene Roddenberry to pitch stories to Star Trek as early as the Spring of 1966, when he was invited for a screening on the series' second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before" along with other potential writers. (These Are the Voyages: TOS Season One, p. 147)

He also wrote non-Trek work under the name "Mike Dolinsky".
