A couple of years ago I was at The Star Trek Original Series Set Tour for a Shatner event. When I visit my friends there, I love to help out with the guests and stay out of their way. I didn't expect to have a "fist fight" with William Shatner!Normally my friend John Carrigan Does the honor, but John was unable to attend. While waiting outside the entrance to engineering ,out of the way of the guests, I hear my name called! James Cawley came out to meet me and said...You're Fighting Captain Kirk!So there I was standing in front of Mr. Shatner as he explained to the guests how he would Kick my butt!We did it twice that day. The second time Mr. Shatner and I waited for the guests to move on to the bridge.He then said to me, you did a good job. I said thanks! He then said John Carrigan would have fallen on the floor! I said, OK, next time I'll do that! Mr. Shatner looked at me in my full Starfleet uniform and said, No, I wouldn't want you to dirty that tunic...It looks expensive!A great memory! Luck would have it that several of the guests sent me these images as I was too busy acting!To do this, in full uniform, in engineering on the Starship Enterprise, acting a fight scene with William Shatner was a very surreal event indeed!
But for the sake of being interested, what's an example (or what are a couple of examples) of implying two identical rooms? I guess most of the episodes do, but I'm not sure. How they shot the Engineering set remains highly confusing to me after all this time, but in a fun way. I guess my confusion stems from their ability to pull out the walls for different angles and how different directors used that option—more obvious on the bridge within the confines of a roughly circular set, but far less so with Engineering.
