Yeah that stinks. I'm glad I have my blu rays.
I think it would...
Totally random connection.
I was watching Tasting History (you tube) about cooking food from the Hindenburg’s menu when it dawned on me that the observation windows on the zeppelin were very reminiscent of those in the shuttle bay. Slanted expansive viewing windows.
Could it be that the enterprise design was inspired by the zeppelin?

Sounds like a good catch. We know that the hangar deck's clamshell doors were copied from a real-life blimp hangar. I might have the info filed somewhere, I'll look for it later.
They were security personnel temporarily assigned to an honor guard detail.
What I meant was it seemed as if there was a voice-over added referring to them that way ("Honor Guard to the hangar deck") (I didn't think that voice-over was in the original episode). I haven't seen the undoctored one in a long time, so I could be completely wrong.
Chekov's V.O. line was always there. I don't recall any instance of a production episode having dialogue altered or added in syndication or home video release (although the syndication prints were edited to allow more time for commercials).
BTW, if you're not familiar with it, here's a source for dialogue transcripts of all the TOS episodes.
Thank you very much for the link!
And I only ever saw syndicated versions on TV, so doubtless those were edited for time.

Thank you for the link! Looking at the scripts, it really shows how much the actors had to contribute to give life to their lines (unless that part has been removed).
@VSAFaculty That site contains transcripts (that I think the site admin created from watching the show), not copies of the show's scripts. They are reasonably accurate though.
And, FWIW, here is a discussion of the shuttlebay embedded in a thread with a another topic, starting at about post 261, give or take a few.

What you've depicted is an outstanding idea.The continuity of the model rotating on the turntable followed by the reception scene using the blueish wall behind the Shuttlecraft does us no favors. I see two options: 1. they needed to put a matte painting of the hangar bay looking aft with the clamshell doors behind the shuttlecraft, or 2. as @blssdwlf said, the shuttlecraft is lowered into a bay below the flight deck for the reception scene. The Immunity Syndrome has the reverse case where the shuttlecraft boarded by Spock, and with better continuity, the switch to the model shows the shuttlecraft rotating (from the 90 degree facing) into the launch position. In the past, several site members have recreated both scenarios. For what's it worth, here's a very crude attempt on my part for the flight deck scenario:
Yes, I realised that after looking at them. Sorry.
I always loved shots of the hanger deck. Shuttlecraft launched with my imagination in tow. Here is a sequence I did maybe 20 years ago using the original effects, cropping and color correcting the individual pictures quite a bit so that the four images matched.
It's appropriate this sequence is so old. This is my first post in the TOS forum since 2009. Thank you, TBonz, for letting me reenlist.

I suppose the TOS hangar bay was larger than it needed to be... for the Galileo shuttlecraft we saw.
I imagine the hangar was sized in order to accommodate other, larger shuttles we never saw. Or for other larger alien vessels that might be encountered. Or maybe as a large staging area the starship would use for cargo or colonization missions. Or other things as you might imagine.

A lot of thought went into the design of the Enterprise’s interiors, but possibly not quite as much thought as we might assume. After all they were concerned primarily with getting the show made and for things to sort of look right as seen on the televisions of the era. It’s reasonable to assume they never seriously considered legions of fans would be scrutinizing this decades upon decades later.
