    What do you think about people "Shipping" Kirk and Spock?

    I bet they loved "The Enterprise Incident."
  2. Phaser Two

    How big was the Enterprise?

    You're right about Kirk’s movements (it's my third-favorite ep and I just watched it last week), but it's not entirely definitive. Also, you're right about the doors, but not the turbolifts I think - those would be useless to the Scalosians unless they sped them up. There's no dialogue to...

    Conspicuous Gallantry

    It's taken from a real British honor and decoration dating back to the Crimean War, hence the cool and elegant name.
  4. Phaser Two

    How big was the Enterprise?

    Heh. The point is that there's canonically more than one way off the bridge, not surprisingly.
  5. Phaser Two

    How big was the Enterprise?

    Kirk got off the bridge somehow in "Wink of an Eye." And Khan said he "jammed up [their] exit routes." Note the plural.

    Where did the “logic” in the logical Mister Spock come from?

    The only problem with that is that most - and by that I mean almost all - actors portraying Romulans on TNG and DS9 hit it out of the park with their performances and were far, far better-written characters. Sure, Romulans are more sinister than Vulcans, but they share the stoicism and many...

    Where did the “logic” in the logical Mister Spock come from?

    Nah, no sale. T'Pring was definitely a villain, sure (which makes her portrayal on SNW interesting), but Sarek clearly respected Kirk from jump and did not at all seem like a xenophobe or even particularly arrogant; whatever disagreements he had with Spock were largely over and done with in the...

    Where did the “logic” in the logical Mister Spock come from?

    No worse than what was done on TNG and DS9, where Vulcans were consistently portrayed as smug tools or outright racists. Thank the stars for Tim Russ and Jolene Blalock for restoring order.

    MAD Magazine Keeps on Trekin’

    I remember one Mad parody (TWOK?) that still cracks me up to this day for this exchange: "Damage, Scotty?" "No, thank you, Admiral - we have quite enough already."

    Star Trek TOS Re-Watch

    Kirk is just an ultimate badass. But this is pure luxury. He sleeps standing up in "Return of the Archons."

    Swirly thing on the bridge

    Yeah. As noted above, the McMaster diagrams call it "sensor sweep."

    Swirly thing on the bridge

    It's my favorite bridge display and I have a working prop version that I absolutely adore. I assume it reflects the sensor web around the ship and shows it to be operating. Of course, out of universe, it made so much noise and/or generated so much heat that one of the directors ordered it...

    I Know Im A Herbert, but............................

    It got some listeners quite choked up.

    Tidbits of TOS

    Uh . . . oh. I see.

    Turn The Channel On This TOS Episode…

    Right - I was wondering about that too. Maybe the poster got confused with the Enterprise's time travel and attributed it to Seven. Personally, I never saw any connection between Gary Seven and the Doctor until reading it right now on this here board. It's a cool theory, but I don't think...

    Where is Galileo?

    Heck, they may want to construct the hangar deck! I don't know if they have enough room, but it's a thought.

    Turn The Channel On This TOS Episode…

    Not a single one. And especially not "Friday's Child," which is in my top 10.

    Khan Noonien-Singh in The Savage Curtain?

    Well, or they could have just said they were landing on what they thought was Ceti Alpha IV.

    Khan Noonien-Singh in The Savage Curtain?

    This discussion leads to the second big problem with the WOK setup. How could the Reliant possibly miss the number of planets in this system and fail to note the discrepancy? All the more so because they weren't just making a temporary stop - they were evaluating the system for its suitability...
