    Defending the use of Foam "Rocks" (or not rocks?)

    Lately around the internet, I have been seeing people finding it funny or outright criticizing the use of foam rocks coming from exploding consoles or from ceilings during battles in TNG. This never seemed odd to me, but it really irritates some people, it seems. So I tried to understand more...

    TOS CD Soundtracks

    Listening to the TOS CD soundtrack collection recently. The liner notes, which are thankfully detailed, indicate that almost all episodes' scores were recorded on mono tape. However, on rare occasion I feel as if I detect some very slight stereo effect, like a solo instrument that seems to...

    Tom Petty on the Bridge...which Bridge?

    Saw this AMAZING photo today :) The date says 1989 but this looks the the bridge from movies I to IV, not V and VI. I was under the impression that the original movie Bridge set had been highly modified by 1989 (season 3 of TNG) and would not have still had this equipment. Can anyone give...

    Voyager Alternate Shirt Colors

    Voyager had alternate timelines/holodeck events that showed the regular cast in alternate uniforms. Did I miss any? Janeway-red and green, red with sciences purple in "Flashback" Tuvok-gold, red w/ sciences purple in "Flashback" Torres-yellow and green Paris-red, yellow, green Kim-yellow..and...

    Meaning of "Beyond the Farthest Star"

    Just watched "Beyond the Farthest Star," and this got me wondering what Kirk's log entry could mean by "Beyond the Farthest Star (of our galaxy). If it was the star farthest from Earth, then that would mean most of the galaxy had been mapped because they were there, but if it was no the...

    Klingons, Other Series, and the Nehret

    Not sure if this should be in a Voyager forum or Trek Tech. In "Prophecy," it is revealed the Klingons have a disease that will kill them in their old age. My question for everyone to ponder is this: Do only the Klingons on the generations ship have this, and then the baby only saves those 100...

    TOS Blu-Ray Question

    Thinking about finally pulling the trigger on TOS on Blu-ray, because I have heard there is a way to watch the episodes in their essentially un-remastered form, simply digitized into a new master from the film print, even down to playing the original mono-mix for sound. Can someone describe how...

    TMP Deflector Colors

    Found the post below and had some thoughts that warranted a new thread. It would seem that the deflector dish in TMP has at least three modes: not-illuminated when in drydock, orange when main drive systems not engaged, blue when at impulse/warp. The directors cut tried to fix some shots to...

    NCC numbers, hyperdrive, and the TAS Bonaventure

    Digging into some terminology from "The Cage" and taking a closer look at screenshots from TAS, it may be possible to rectify TOS registries with classes of ship. Here's the short version, more details below: The Bonaventure's real canon registry could be 1028, and it was an early...

    "Faster than light, no left or right..."

    In Voyager, Tom claims his training says, "Faster than light, no left or right..." But we she ships turn at warp all the time. Non-fans criticize this. I have a revolutionary theory that fixes 1 and 3 nacelle-d ships, the "pairs rule," the "line-of-sight rule," and this. Here it is... Ships...

    Uniform Color Code Never Changed?

    What if the shirt colors from TOS never changed for TNG+, and only the way certain departments were categorized? The system below actually made sense across the generations, with certain unusual cases explained. What does everyone else think? Silver/White-Fleet Control Olive-Command...
