Need help identifying a TOS episode
- Thread starter Duane
- Start date
That sounds vaguely familiar....
Third season, forgot the ep. I think it was on the sick bay floor.
It certainly looks like a newspaper, and I cannot imagine why a set designer would place anything else there on purpose. But if it is a newspaper, it is extremely text light. There appears to be an image of a large face taking up most of the surface area. (The blu-ray DVD provides better images than the one above.) And if it is a newspaper, how on earth did it get on the set and go unnoticed?
Perhaps this is a mystery that will never be solved.

Well, it's obvious that the annoying problem of outdated reading material in doctors' offices won't have gone away by the 23rd century! 
Sets can be very boring places. I imagine newspapers are quite common diversions. Probably ended up on screen because the shot was planned as a closeup and they pulled back for an impromptu three-shot at the last minute.
A TNG episode features a woman's handbag sitting on the bridge, where no one noticed it until the episode aired.
Looks more like someone threw a rag over something...

That's not the still I recall from before. That doesn't resemble a handbag or a sandbag.
