    Bread and circuses, Madson smg prop

    Forgotten weapons did an episode on the madson m-50 smg used by the Roman guards in this episode. I learned more about a smg then I thought I would ever know… Ian also speculates as to why they used it in the show. Definitely a very tech dive into the mechanism, if that’s your sort of thing.

    Location Visit: Arena

    Thank you to all the folks ( about a dozen of you) who were kind enough to watch my Deneva video. Today, I just uploaded a location visit to Arena. Yes! That classic episode at Vasquez rocks... So there have been many a video on this before, but I did some THEN and NOW shots of the classic...

    Location visit: Deneva

    So my son is a video editor...and as a result I decided to try to do some videos just for fun and to relate. It's been fascinating creating content (mainly for my own amusement) and learning new software. I just finished a video about going to the location of Operation: Annihilate (aka TRW aka...

    Episode banned by the BBC

    I did not know this. BBC news covers an episode that was banned. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68342135

    Chicken of the sea - grace lee?

    So I’m watching a taste test video on YT about sardines (ok, I admit it’s weird. But I love sardines) and at approx 8:00 in he claims that grace lee was the model for the chicken of the sea mermaid. He also includes a picture of GLW in said attire! I…did…not…know…that.

    Diamond Select Phaser Batteries

    After sterling service, the batteries died. I ordered more and… they didn’t fit. Strange. I looked at the originals and ordered replacements from the manufacturer thinking perhaps these were thicker. Nope. The stock batteries are taller than all the replacements so there is not completed...

    A theoretical Galileo RV

    Fascinating read, the writer is obviously a TOS fan. https://www.theautopian.com/finally-the-galileo-shuttlecraft-amphibious-camper-youve-waited-years-for/

    The First Doctor

    Out of curiosity, did John Hoyt ever comment on his role as the first ships doctor on Star Trek? I bet he made a mean martini

    Godzilla and Star Trek

    Ok, I did not know this and couldn’t find that it was discussed before so…. According to this video on the history of Godzilla, writer Jerry Sohl also wrote an early treatment for a Godzilla movie (which would go on to become Invasion of the Astro monster)…

    Kim Cattrall foreshadowing

    So I’m watching YouTube “b movie” reviewer Brandon Tenold review “Split Second”, a bad horror/space/dystopian monster movie, which co stars Kim Cattrall… and he mentions that her hair in this movie is essentially the same that she replicated later in Star Trek. Holy cow! He’s right! (Plenty...

    Balance of terror - shatners lighting

    Just re watched BOT and I noticed that Kirk is usually bathed in soft light during the episode, sometimes offset with a highlight on his eyes. In this era, soft light /focus was usually reserved for the female guest of the week to emphasize their beauty….and help the viewer unconsciously...

    Why I like Nemesis

    It is one of the most loathed films of the TNG film era, indeed , one might say from any ST film era. So, why does it have a special place for me? Patrick Stewart was keen to have a buggy scene in the movie. The studio contracted with a friend of mine, legendary off road racer Ivan Stewart, to...

    Recycled or “inspired by “ plots or ?

    Over the years many have commented on the similarities in plots between some of the movies and the show. I’ve always wondered if it was intentional or if there was just some unconscious influence. And, are there any other similarities in ST Movies that I missed? I’m specifically referring...

    Visit to Deneva: 2021

    Had a chance to see the final work on the new James Webb space telescope at Northrop- Grumman ... and HAD to visit the location shoot for Deneva. (Ironically, the cafeteria). It hasn’t changed very much at all since 1967!

    Fireball xl5 reference?

    The chaps at the Gerry Anderson YouTube channel were wondering if there was an homage to fireball xl5 hidden in the enterprises engine room? Would anyone know?

    Star treks cbs / paramount license

    Not sure if this has been posted / discussed (I haven't seen it). Fascinating video on the history of the Star Trek rights and some speculation on the current condition which would explain bad robot's take on Star Trek

    Locations in the spirit of TRW

    Given the matte painting of star base 11 and the design of TRW (now Northrop), I was at the la moma (museum of modern art) and realized it's in the same vein of architecture and outdoor design aesthetic of those other locations. That sort of early/mid 60s look. It could easily have been used...

    Ed Bishop

    i was watching TAS episode the magicks of megas-tu when I heard a familiar voice. He wasn't in the credits but IMDb confirmed t was ed bishop! So, yes, I'm sure I'm the last person in this group to figure it out, but it did make me put in some of my UFO discs! Man, I lived the purple hair and...

    Rick Berman - overstayed his time?

    since no one here is opinionated (sic)... here's the question: Rick berman oversaw the Star Trek universe for quite a spell. When did he "jump the shark" .... pass his 'sell by' date... get stale/burned out... generally overstay his welcome... or did he ever? Thoughts?
