Wow, thanks for sharing this, I never would have known this existed!

Thanks for the info. I didn't think this was actually related to the Venice Film Festival, just figured that was part of the blooper reel's "humor." Any idea what year this might have been shown at the film festival?

Star Trek's 1st season blooper reel contains a narration that begins with "Ladies and gentlemen, due to circumstances beyond our control, the program originally scheduled at this time will not be presented . . ." Does anyone know who provided this narration? It doesn't sound like any of the...

TOS, TNG, and DS9 all have something in common; the captain in each series is, at some point, deemed either a god or a religious leader. Kirk is taken as a god in “The Paradise Syndrome,” and to a lesser degree in “The Omega Glory.” Picard gets his turn in “Who Watches the Watchers.” And the...

I've searched the internet for the script to "Wink of an Eye," but was unable to find it anywhere. Does anyone have a copy of the script that they could share, or know where I could get my hands on one? I'm interested in reading the full version of the Scalosian distress call, and figure the...

I don't visit this forum very often, so you can imagine my surprise when I checked in and found someone inquiring about a video clip I edited together way back in 2010! Several months ago my old youtube channel disappeared, along with the clip you've been looking for, which explains why, when...

While I feel he set the tone of the exchange, and I don't usually respond to negative posts, there was something about his glibness that I felt needed to be addressed. You are right, though, the ending was unnecessary, and so I will remove the offending part.

Oh, that was just a reference to his moniker "Mediocre Old White Man." It would seem fair to say that anyone who wears their mediocrity as a badge must relish in it.

I couldn’t disagree more. Kirk’s character wasn’t made up as they went along, it was there from the beginning, and was merely expressed through “hundreds of scenes and incidents.” But how about discussing the validity of the points brought up in the video, such as the bifurcation of Kirk in “The...

It seems pretty clear that this forum is not the right audience for video essays regarding classic Star Trek. Which is rather ironic being that Star Trek is itself in video format, and as I've actually watched this video myself, I can report that it is manly comprised of clips from classic Star...

I believe this type of deeper characterization is an important element often missing in much of the newer storytelling. I would be curious to know your thoughts on archetypes in ST.

Both excellent points. And: https://stealthoptional.com/feature/5-reasons-q-is-one-of-the-greatest-star-trek-characters/ Congratulations on the published article! Where can I find more of your work?

Yes, that too! But I was actually referring to the planet set as seen in "Haven" (in the holodeck), "Hide and Q," and "Skin of Evil." The simple desert looking set with the blank backdrop for the sky, colored differently for each planet. As I recall they stopped using that set after the first...

You make some great connections here. I don't know if you watched the video, but at the beginning they do a quick run through of several episodes, and "Pike's chair and Jameson's chair, two Kirks and Data/Lore" are both shown there, just fyi.

I'd add the planet set to the list too, very reminiscent of TOS.

I think he also made a pretty good case for "The Last Outpost" vs "Arena." However, "Lonely Among Us" vs "Wink of an Eye" and "The Turnabout Intruder" not so much, but even then I can see where he was going with it. I remember wishing that they'd go back to Sigma Iotia II in TNG, as they ended...

Nicholas Myers himself discusses this same idea in his google talk. Here it is for anyone interested:

I never even noticed that sign before! I tried to find out more about this sign online, but there's not much on it. But Christopher's mention of it got me wondering, does anyone know when in the development of the movie the simulator was given that name? I'm specifically interested in knowing if...

That's a great comparison between "The Inner Light" and "The Paradise Syndrome"! I never would have noticed the similarities, but they are there. And "The Inner Light" is one of my favorite TNG episodes to boot! I like "The Paradise Syndrome" a lot too, especially the Obelisk they made for it...
