    Roddenberry Vault Star Fleet Access feature

    The Roddenberry Vault blu-ray has a special pop up feature for several episodes (Space Seed, City, Tribbles). When I access this feature the video inserts are there, but the talking heads are muted. Nothing I adjust in the audio options bring their voices on. Is this a defect of the disc, or...

    Don't get "The Visitor'?

    I have been taking my partner Ron (not a sci-fi fan) through all of Trek chronologically for the past two years. He really likes TOS, and have shown him the best of the newer shows. I thought he would really like DS9's 'The Visitor', but he hated it. It was too 'out there', and he couldn't...

    Exorcist question

    Just watched The Exorcist for the first time in a long while. I am not clear when and how little Regan became possessed by the Devil. Something was up in the attic, but what was it and how did it get there? How did the events in the Iraqui ruins figure into suburban GeorgeTown?

    Slideshows for End Credits

    Part of what made Star Trek (TOS) so iconic in our pop-culture was the constant exposure to classic scenes from the episodes in the end credits. 'The Green Chick' is such a ST cliche because Vina got a shot at the end of every show. Balock Puppet Head is burned into countless brains of scared...

    Opening credits -Wrong?

    TOS got their opening credits right. Shatner/Nimoy/Kelley were the stars of the show. Everyone else out back with ya. TNG should have kicked Frakes in with the alphabetical crew line up. Old baldy was the only star of the show. DS9 should have had no one "star" and listed all the...

    Best single disc for a ST newbie

    Guisseppe, an older Italian-American gentleman at our UU church's coffee hour this morning commented on the Star Fleet pin on my jacket. I proceeded to give him a crash course on the history and meaning of Star Trek. I told him how Treks humanistic liberal philosophy mirrored our Unitarian...
