Hey, I never noticed that before....

The original series ladies definitely get my vote over the much later ones my Lord!

Captain Kirk likes them too, JB.

 

NTSC is the signal type, not videotape. As in NTSC, PAL, SEACAM, etc.

 

As I interpret this, Marple is following the order correctly: he is cutting around the rock that is to (on) his right.

 

But, but, but.....when Kirk is giving the order to him, Marple's left side is facing the rock. Now, if Kirk would have said "Cut around the rock on my right.", then maybe the redshirt would have been totally confused. Poor redshirts.

 

Kirk meant "screen right".

 

Around the papier mache boulder.

 

Mea culpa; I was only going from the screen shot in your earlier post.

No wonder I have no stripes on my sleeves!

 

The Booth for you. Full duration.

 

In "Journey to Babel" during the reception scene, there is a crystal centerpiece on the table, next to the punch bowl and color cubes. The platter of jems is flickering with light, like a flame. A subtle detail, but there is a steady flame like glow on the rock chow. (Was it edible?) Shows what effort went into the show.

I've seen that episode a hundred times and did not notice that detail until the second or third blu-ray viewing. Fascinating.

 

You must mean that gold colored bowl....

 

There must have been a wire under the table to electrify that bowl of crystals. Now I've got to watch for that!

 

Great eyes! I just watched that scene and those crystals do blink. Another nice touch by special effects guru Jim Rugg.

 

I never noticed the gold bowl before, either. Those chunks of quartz could double as dilithium crystal props. The burnt one from "Mudd's Women" might even be in the bowl.

 

All I ever recall about that scene as a child was how scary The Andorians were! Especially 'Mr' Shras' Barlow'! and the fact that I was sure they were called Tellerites rather than Andorians! Couldn't remember what the the Piggy faced aliens were called either! Now as a long term fan I know the races inside out!

There's your "Spican Flame Gems".

 

During the initial fight with the guards in "The World Is Hollow and I've Touched the Sky" Kirk kicks one of them in the face and they guys hat comically shoots up into the air.

In the initial fight between good and evil in "The Savage Curtain" look carefully in the background.
President Lincoln is kicking ass and taking names!!!

 

He's used to kicking ass. He was a vampire hunter, after all.

 

Private Little War......Dr. M'Benga starts slapping Spock. After four or five slaps Spock grabs M'Benga's hand, except he grabs it after his hand passes Spock's face. No slap or sound effect, meaning M'Benga kind of missed.

 

Maybe he was so co-ordinated that he was able to limit the force of his striking hand! M'Benga the bad ass!
