Hey, I never noticed that before....

Season Two certainly repeats itself a lot.

I was always fine with it, still awful good for weekly TV, but I think it's notable that six of the movies, including four in a row (!), had a giant, "monster truck" spacecraft that could hover over a planet and destroy or ruin it:

ST: TMP - V'ger.
ST IV: TVH - Space going Whale Tanker.
ST: First Contact - Borg cube.
ST: Insurrection - So'na particle harvester.
ST: Nemesis - Scimitar.
ST (2009) - Narada.

That's a lot.

The Conqueror? Uh-oh! That thing was probably full of deadly radiation!

Many people have looked into the contamination reports, but in the end, the percentage of actors who died from cancer was the same as the general population.

Eh, it was a weird Lincoln Log with a brain testicle.

Only by Production Order; five episodes apart by Airdate, or ~700 stardates (~8.5 months!) apart by Stardate. YMMV .

I knew someone would bring that up

It's my hot button.

 

[Farscape One]

Frankly, Henoch beat me to it. I go by production order on shows.

Just noticed:
In Whom Gods Destroy, Kirk is taking a nap in his guest quarters when Marta sneaks in and tries to stab him.

A few episodes later:
In The Cloud Minders, Kirk is having a nap in his guest quarters when Vanna sneaks in and tries to stab him.
https://tos.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/screencaps/season3/319-cloudminders/cloudminders-br-259.jpg

It's pretty much the same camera shot both times, and Kirk is lying on top of the bed in the same position both times.
At least Marta smooched a little first. Vanna was all business .

Nice catch, the similarity between the two scenes. I somehow never noticed it.

Probably due to the same DP, per Memory Alpha:

Al Francis (9 August 1918 – 9 June 1998; age 79) was director of photography (DP) for Star Trek: The Original Series after Jerry Finnerman left the series. The first episode he shot as DP was the third season episode "The Tholian Web". Before that, he was Finnerman's camera operator on the series.​

Now I imagine Kirk just leaning against the wall, waiting for girl-of-the-week to show up the third time.

Girl: (arrives, knife in hand)
Kirk: (checks watch) "Ah, yes. I've been waiting for you. Right on time."
Girl: (raises knife with a primal yell)
Kirk: (ducks nonchalantly and takes the knife, waggling it) "Tsk, tsk. A little louder and you'd alert the whole ship."

No Kirk-Fu?

Jim is so over it. "Try something original next time."

In "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" at 47:24, Kirk goes to the door of the med lab to look for Miranda in the corridor. They didn't dub the "whoosh" for the doors, so we hear the actual doors being pulled open.

That door sound is actually kinda nice.

I listened a couple of times and yes, the door makes a strong wood scrapping sound but I thought I also heard a fainter whine/whoosh sound effect with it especially at the end of the effect.

 

[Methuselah Flint]

If my memory is right (which it usually isn't!) there's a few other times we don't hear the "whoosh". I think when Chekhov and McCoy return to the Defiant bridge, is one.

I watched it twice using the "original" DD 2.0 track, and once with the new 5.1 track to see if they fixed it in the remaster. I didn't hear the "whoosh" at all, but your hearing may be better than mine.

If my memory is right (which it usually isn't!) there's a few other times we don't hear the "whoosh". I think when Chekhov and McCoy return to the Defiant bridge, is one.

When I posted last night, I had a deja vu that someone posted it before, but couldn't find it in this thread. But you're right, it was probably noted in other episodes.

I noticed this many years ago, but never commented on it. In ‘Man Trap’ after Kirk, McCoy and Crewman Green beam up to The Enterprise, Kirk walks into a turbo lift. As he waits there is a terrible racket that sounds like tin cans filled with rocks being dragged down a bumpy road. Very unusual sound for a 23rd century starship.

Scotty needs to reattach the muffler.

One of Gene Roddenberry's best rules was that everything should make a sound. It made a big difference by giving stage presence and a sense of reality to props, sets (bridge, transporter, shuttlecraft interior), alien landscapes, you name it.

The GNP sound effects CD is a representative sample. No waiting: I see it for $9.99 on iTunes for Windows.
