Watching The Corbomite Maneuver and I can't help but wonder what is actually looks like on the outside as the Enterprise tries to evade Balok's warning buoy. The buoy isn't chasing them, it's keeping the Enterprise from passing - it was never behind them. Yet the Enterprise gets up to Warp 3...

Three of the Classic Trek movies have been released in expanded and director's cuts on home video and streaming. Everyone has their preference. 1) Star Trek: The Motion Picture has the most versions: theatrical, Special Longer Version, Directors Cut (two versions) 2) The Wrath of Khan...

So, what’s with the obsession with Khan? I’ve seen repeatedly how he’s referred to as “Star Trek’s greatest villain.” Star Trek Enterprise focused on the Eugenics Wars with the Augments. SNW has a descendant of Khan as a crewmember. Every so often, the films try to make their villain “the...

We've lost lovely Yeoman Colt. She was 79...

Well, off of the others are too old to revive, so.... Two nights ago, to celebrate the 53rd anniversary, I watched The Doomsday Machine. Yet again. My love for this episode is boundless. It is my all time favorite Star Trek episode franchise wide. It has so many amazing aspects. 1) It...

So how does Sybok’s approach actually work? I get the idea what we are molded by our life experiences and adversity. But, really, I don’t harbor some life altering “secret pain” that I can’t live with. And really. Why would everyone on the ship have one? I would accept it easier if it really was...

I couldn’t find a decent topic to add this to, so I figured maybe some kinda catch all for these types of questions would be fun. Or not. We’ll see if this dies after 8 posts. While listening to the Original Series Soundtrack collection, I was enjoying the preview music Alexander Courage...

I rarely watch Star Trek in sequence. After nearly 48 years (that I can remember - I was 4 or younger when I started watching), I usually just pop in episodes I’m in the mood for. This means I hit the same group of episodes more often than others. I am taking the opportunity to seek out those...

Aww man... :( http://www.yourcentralvalley.com/story/d/story/breaking-news-grace-lee-whitney-janice-rand-of-sta/59006/FOK2_p3fKUezOgKbksZ8_A According to Family, Grace Lee Whitney has passed away peacefully this past weekend May 1, 2015 in her Coarsegold home. She was born in Detroit...

In honor of Mr. Nimoy, I'm already thinking of what I'll put on for a 12 hour "Best of Spock Marathon" to celebrate his work and the Spock Character's place in history and my overall life. I'm thinking... The Naked Time The Menagerie (2 parts) The Galileo Seven This Side of Paradise...

Nope, not her musical group, but the arm band she wore in City on the Edge of Forever. She also wore a black belt in Operation -- Annihilate!. I would guess it was Nichelle Nichols' tribute to someone who passed on, but does anyone know who that would be?

So, this is a new one on me. As a Black History Month Promo for ME-TV, Nichelle Nichols relates, for the zillionth time, her MLK story. Only now, instead of wanting to leave the show because her role was too small and inconsequential, she was leaving because she was going to "star on Broadway."...

How do I describe my love of this episode? My all-time favorite, the one I would wait endlessly for in reruns as a kid, back in the day when you were at the mercy of the program director at your local syndicated station. I don’t know about you, but my local station rarely played Star Trek in any...

This is probably gonna be one of the more obsessive threads, but what the frunk? I was wondering if anyone else is hankering for an honest to god accurate release of Trek on Blu-Ray? I mean, as close to original “Night of Broadcast” as possible, like The Twilight Zone Definitive Edition was...

Over on the Kirk-Uhura Rape Scene thread, there's speculation that Gene Roddenberry is the unnamed executive who assaulted Grace Lee Whitney back during the filming of the series. This bothers me, and adds to the general tearing down of his rep that bugs me, especially to the extent is has gone...

I just learned that Biff Elliot passed away. The first actor to play Mike Hammer and, to us, Schmitter from Devil in the Dark. http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/sns-201208211517reedbusivarietynvr1118058120-20120821,0,4501881.story

I'm actually watching all the shows in airdate order pretty much for the first time. I usually just pick whatever episode I'm in the mood for, but after awhile, I found I was falling back on the same dozen favorites. So now I'm just staring from the premiere and following the network run (the...

Does anyone remember exactly what episode in the first season had the Fred Steiner arrangement of the opening and closing credits? The original DVDs put the Alexander Courage "electric violin" version on the first 13 episodes, but those volumes were originally released in production order. I'm...

The great Warren Stevens, who played Rojan in By Any Other Name, not to mention Doc Ostrow in Forbidden Planet, appearances in a bunch of Irwin Allen shows and a zillion other projects, passed away this week. He was 92. http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/54116/rest-peace-warren-stevens
