Got to talking about the TOS shuttlecraft elsewhere and while looking at my 3D model pics I thought I'd share them here again. For those not familiar with this I resized the exterior to about 28ft. long and tightened up the interior some fit everything into an integrated whole. That's why the...

An oft discussed element of TMP is the protracted reveal of the refit Enterprise. My sense is that a good portion of viewers old and new alike are not fond of this sequence during the film. They might feel it slows things down too much from getting on with events in a more brisk pace. In the...

While I had quibbles with TMP when it was released in 1979 I still liked it overall, particularly after a decade of TOS reruns no matter how much I loved the series. Quibbles aside it juiced me sufficiently to hope for new adventures in this new era, new adventures set within a new 5-year...

A very moving tribute to Leonard Nimoy. I have never seen this before.

Way back in 1966/67 they had a smart idea to save money by cannibalizing the unaired original pilot, “The Cage,” and building a framing sequence around it, resulting in TOS’ only two-part episode, “The Menagerie.” The enduring joke among fans soon became “watching Star Trek as the characters...

Recently I’ve been rewatching the 1960’s Mission: Impossible. And it’s been fun spotting actors and actresses who also appeared in TOS in rather different roles than on Mission: Impossible. But the actor that really makes an impression is Leonard Nimoy in M:I’s fourth season as a regular cast...

Came across this by chance. Never seen it before.

Usually I keep an iPad about five years before upgrading. But this time around I chose to try upgrading sooner—I traded in my iPad Air 5 64gb for a new iPad Air 6 13in. 128gb. Why? I was perfectly satisfied with my Air 5. With the M1 processor it was snappy and did everything I asked of it. If...

I’m spinning this off someone else’s thread so as not to derail it too far. But if one were to attempt drawing out the layout of the TOS E there is the issue of symmetry to address. Strictly speaking, at least internally the Enterprise is not symmetrical, and this is because of the bridge...

This isn’t meant as a debate of the merits of TWOK vs. TMP. Suffice to say after all these years TMP, particularly the recent 2022 DE, is my favourite of the Trek films. TWOK is second despite my reservations. They’re somewhat like two sides of the same coin. Whatever. Although I enjoyed TWOK...

This has been probably been discussed before over the years, but it was something I was mulling over idly recently. Mind you, it wasn’t something keeping me up at night. In “Operation—Annihilate” Kirk mentions there are fourteen science labs aboard ship. Now my knowledge of the various sciences...

Interesting. These guys, known as the Target Audience, are working their way through Star Trek from the beginning. Their only frame of reference, as avowed Star Wars fans, were dim memories of ST09. TOS, TAS and TMP were not what they expected yet overall they really liked what they saw. Now...

A couple of guys on Youtube who have been reacting to Star Trek TOS for their first time finally watch TMP. And they quite liked it.

I followed a couple of guys on Youtube calling themselves the Target Audience as they watched the entirety of TOS for the first time. Suffice to say they really enjoyed TOS as a whole. They even liked third season somewhat more than many long time fans! Now they’re starting their first time...

“Kirk drift.” A phrase coined by the author of this article to describe how misremembering of an original source work can deliberately or unwittingly change the popular perception of said original work. In this article the character of Captain James T. Kirk is used as the example of how the...

Caption this. I’ll go first. “The best pizza in the galaxy can be found here.”

Not wanting to take another thread too far off topic I've decided to bring this subject here. In that other thread I mentioned the TOS review by two guys on Youtube who call themselves the Target Audience has prompted me to consider a new rewatch of the series myself, something I haven't done...

I’ve been following these guys—who had never seen any TOS before—as they reviewed the entirety of TOS episode-by-episode. And they liked Season 3 overall far more than a lot of long time fans. Good on them! It’s been fun and I look forward to their review of TAS.

It’s a good episode, but there is a big question mark in it. I didn’t think much of it when I was young, but it’s long been hard to ignore. The Galileo was launched to do an up-close investigation of Murasaki 312. So this was a scientific task. Why Spock, the ship’s Science Officer, was sent...

In another thread they’re discussing the transporter fx and what people think of them.So here we can broaden the discussion. It goes without saying, for me, TOS’ transporter fx is not only one of the best they had, but one of the best the entire franchise has ever had. But here we talking about...
