Hey, I never noticed that before....

I enjoy and despise his dropping in of the remark about our being descended from "apesss...", and the context and timing of it.

A well delivered line by a talented actor, who (perhaps unfortunately) is best know for playing "the Riddler."

...and he was also a great impressionist, imitating Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster, for example.

Gorshin also played George Burns in a one-man stage show, Goodnight Gracie, written by Rupert Holmes. (Yes, the same Rupert Holmes who had all those hit pop songs back in the early '80s.)

Whatever the cause, it's pretty certain that there was a cause, of some kind. Life isn't just going to spring up on some planet with faces split into exactly even black and white halves.

What about all those half-faced guinea pigs, cats and dogs? If their fur can be split down the middle of their face (color-wise), why not mammalian skin, too?

And the Cheronians probably dislike mirrors.

Can't comment, I have never heard of any of this.

Went to High School with a guy who had a split color eye. Left eye was green, right eye was half green and half brown.

Perfect split down the middle.

Seemed to help him get girls.

In AF, the top of Lazarus' time capsule has a star burst symbol on top of the clear plexiglass bubble.

I noticed that if you sat in the capsule chair, it doesn't appear like the bubble would fit over his head!

NO, IT'S NOT BIGOTED!!

That's what Spock's saying. He's not expressing some racist bias for "monochromes". Pause and remember who we're talking about, what show this is, and the fact that this is their big anti-racism episode...

^I'm not clicking on that HALF-ORANGE cat!

Great to see a @Maurice post, BTW.

Good view of the star burst pattern on the dome when it appears as the Providers' chamber in "Gamesters...:"

By the way, where did the Lazarus time ship prop come from, originally? Was it acquired whole somehow or from somewhere, was it just cobbled together by Feinberg et al., or what?

Good questions. And what happened to this large prop?

 

[johnnybear]

It was destroyed by The Enterprise of course! Didn't you see the episode then, Lord Beard?

Lazarus' little saucer always reminded me of Space Mouse's Lunar Schooner.
(Now THERE's some 60s comic book trivia for ya!)

Lazarus' time capsule went to the same place dozens of red shirts ended up...

 

[The Old Mixer]

The Phaser Cornfield?

Catspaw....Kirk and Spock leave the bridge to see Jackson beam up, but only Kirk enters the transporter room. Where, oh where, did Spock-o go?

This one is a real mystery. Bob Justman's idea was to re-use the Galileo interior and exterior, which was added to the script by Don Ingalls when he turned in his second draft. Even the shooting script, including pages revised by the staff during the week of filming, includes language indicating the plan was to re-dress the shuttlecraft.

How they went from that to a rather unique looking set piece that was partially re-used only once is bewildering. I have to assume that they bought or rented it from another production - but if that were the case, you would think after fifty years, someone would have identified it in another film or television series. As far as I know, no one has.
