The command division jump suits also register as green. Aren't those uniforms, too?
Does anyone know the source of the sweetener used when McCoy puts his hand through the dissolving table in The Tholian Web? I think it's also used when Natira opens the doors to the Oracle in FTWIHAIHTTS.
@Ssosmcin, report to the Briefing Room.
I'm not sure how you'd see it on a 15" color TV circa 1968, but in 2026 with a 80" screen that's as large as the Enterprise's main viewer, "Elaan of Troyius" has a rather lovely view of Kryton at the start as he kneels down in side profile to the camera next to the transporter control. If only those groovy 1968 placemats used as costuming were a little more supple then we wouldn't get to see it... plus, if there's any patterns on how to make the costumes, as well as those groovy 1968 placemats, there should be a nightclub themed for wearing them. Maybe called "Theiss-Way-To-Go-Go" given his incredible array of designs over the decades...
(On edit: "Incredible" as in "Incredibly good", just to clarify, the guy deserved awards for especially his Trek designs but he was very talented. His balance (metaphorical or literal) in so much costuming was always impressive, but for every Andrea or Natira, you might spot a Kryton once in a while - just not as often. Great article on him.)

I don't think it was a library cue. It sounds like an edit of two strums of a harp or lyre in "The Tholian Web." Only one was used in "Hollow."
The closest I can find is the lyre in "Maiden Wine."
LOl the faith you have in me is wonderful
Thank you mate!
Well deserved. And having been accused a time or two as having some musical abilities, I have to say that your area of expertise is quite appealing to me.
I think I may have mentioned this somewhere before a long time ago...
Granted, The Cage is canon, but it was never broadcast during the original run.
In the context of solely The Menagerie, in response to Pike's "You'll give her back her illusion of beauty?", the Keeper's "And more" is left open to interpretation by the audience. (Of course, in this context, there's still nothing to stop the illusion Pike being one possibility.)

I suppose now one could argue that if she did get a fake Pike to keep her company until he came back to her, he can hardly point fingers since he's now lived his own fake life in a moment with Batel.
For all the years I saw The Menagerie without knowing The Cage, the line "And more" seemed a perfectly natural thing for the Keeper to say. The solo shot of Vina they cut to was very flattering, like they'd taken her beauty from 9.8 to 10. It was an excellent bit of editing that obviated the story change problem.
Which plate did Uncle Leo bring again?
Both, of course.
Mirror, Mirror quick set change :
Notice the deck indicator panel just behind Chekov…
I command it to go away!
Be gone!

Good catch!
And Chekov suddenly has a gold belt! They just knew all eyes would be on Kirk, especially in that uniform. This all went unnoticed for decades.Mirror, Mirror quick set change :

Nice find. And in one photo Chekov has an Agonizer, while in the next photo he has an Empire dagger. These scenes might have been filmed on different days…maybe the Dailies didn’t process correctly or something.
Not really a set change, just filmed in two different turbolift interiors (and I agree with you, probably on different days). The first shot is in the bridge lift, while the second one is in the lift I call C2, at the clockwise end of the curved corridor. The placements of the interior panels were not always consistent across the series.
Another discontinuity between the two shots is that Chekov is holding a completely different handle. Probably a simple result of the director wanting different angles on the lift cab.

The episode’s director probably wanted to get the shot in the can, so he might have thought…”Let’s move on to the bridge scenes. Who cares if some low life loser notices this insignificant blooper 50 years from now.” 
I saw an episodes a few weeks ago where Kirk was fighting somebody, and one of them hits a giant pile of rocks, and because they were not real works, the pile shook for a split second and I think it shifted ever so slightly.
