I was having a discussion about the types of people - personality-wise - that leads them to be either a 'Cat Person' or a 'Dog Person'. For example, Kirk is obviously a 'Dog Guy'; and Spock, overtly an obvious 'Cat Guy'. Too easy; and, it just fits. So the discussion became: "... but what...

In the episode 'This Side of Paradise', Dorothy Fontana and Jerry Sohl showed us a Que sara' sara' lifestyle and culture where there is perfect health, perfect happiness, perfect harmony, total acceptance, and genuine love and respect for everyone under the influence of the spores. However...

'The Immunity Syndrome' offers us a good look at the S.O.P. of employing - although the 1st failed; however, the 2nd succeeded - a telemetry probe. Obviously excluding other probes such as the Nomad/Tan Ru/Changling probe, which of the other TOS episodes either make use of and/or make mention...

Both the name of the Tantalus Field/Device from the episode, Mirror, Mirror, and the name of the penal-planet Tantalus V from the episode, Dagger of the Mind, make use of the Greek name of the mythological figure and legend of Tantalus; who, was punished in Tartarus; the deep abyss, which is...

Does anyone possibly know the reason - besides the obvious writers-answer that it traps the characters into the story until they solve the puzzle and win their escape - why The Big 3 and Commissioner Nancy Hedford are traveling by shuttlecraft to the Enterprise; instead of having the Enterprise...

With very special thanks for all the P.M.'s of support, and to the gentlemanly and dignified voice of Mutai Sho-Rin, we have elected to re-construct from the ashes, and Soldier-On,.. and dedicate our efforts to all of you. Let's hope we make it to the second act this time...

The Mid-1967 Hollywood Writer's Strike has hit Tinsel-Town hard. Gene Roddenberry's STAR TREK is in full production, BUT today, there is NO SHOOTING SCRIPT!! Bill Shatner - ever the hero - 'orders' all the Actors, camera men, sound tech's, and lighting guys to the stage,.. THE SHOW MUST GO...

The latest Caption Contest uses a picture of Nimoy while guest-starring on another TV show,.... and this got me thinking,... What if the transporter malfunctioned, and deposited KIRK and crew,... not on an alternate reality planet,... but on the set of an entirely different TV show,... Any...

Thanks to everyone who took part in the survey! Working from the prescribed list as posted in the original thread, the final results have been tabulated as follows: 'Excalibur' was the run-away hit of the list - not being a total surprise. 'Yorktown' came in a close 2nd to Excalibur, missing...

Considering all the great moments in The Original Series - be it: humor, action, suspense, intrigue, drama, or what-have-you - which scene, or single 'snap-shot', do you personally consider as: 'The Single Greatest Moment in TOS',... and more importantly, why ? I'll start the ball rolling...

So at what point, or in what episode, do you feel STAR TREK 'JUMPED THE SHARK'? For those unfamiliar with the term, From The WIKI: The phrase jump the shark comes from a scene in the fifth season premiere episode of the American TV series Happy Days titled "Hollywood: Part 3," written by Fred...

Selected for Captaincy in the newly formed "Galaxy Exploration Division" of SFC, and utilizing the brand new 'Constitution Class Heavy Cruisers', if you could select, from a standardized list, the name given to the ship you would be commanding on a 5 year mission, which name would you choose...

A while back on another thread PLYNCH and I were discussing the origin of the name KIRK - being from the Scots/Irish Gaelic word for CHURCH, a bastardized pronounciation of the Greek word Cerces, nuff said,... and although I am sure their are very few people who do not already know the old...

Last night, I watch 'Requiem', which has always been a favorite - right up to where KIRK starts making out with FLYNT's personal blow-up doll, REYNA;... not saying I wouldn't LOL! - and it occurred to me that with the exception on KAHN in Space Seed, FLYNT has one of the most fully developed...

I watched episode #1 'Beachhead', and enjoyed the paranoid, a la' Twilight Zone, aspect of it. Pretty good for not being Star Trek I thought. I see it only ran two seasons, but I am going to start watching them to see how it develops and if it holds up to the first epi. Any other of fans of...

Throughout the TOS stories,TREK writers threw at KIRK and crew, a host of hurdles, dangers, and evils-in-pursuit. Planet-side, KIRK faced many naturally occurring type - on Earth or an Alien world - dangerous animals, monsters, aliens, rock slides, cave-ins, killer plant-life, and all the like...

Okay, I been puzzling over the long established observation - shared by many fans and N.N. herself - concerning the paltry use of the character, UHURA. I agree. This character is presented -on the whole - as the famous complaint goes - as: 1) An inter-galactic switchboard operator. 2) The...

And speaking of "Off-ing the Red Shirts",... In a single episode, who do you think had the shortest "career" on-board the good ship Enterprise?,... and who had the longest? Making it to the closing credits does not count,... the Red Shirt in question had to end up, as the saying goes; "dead...

Okay, Here we go,... Deflectors to Full Power,... Of what is generally considered one of Star Trek's biggest stinkers, I have to make the following confession, and being as this is a serious post, I'd really like to know your thoughts - without the post ending up in a typical 'bash the bad...

I always took a special liking to the episodes in which we met OTHER captains from other ships, as well as Fleet Officers and saw other Starships. How much better if in the 3rd season, the writers had used more Captains and Fleet officers to expand the Star Trek Lexicon, while examining the...
