No, it's a fun thread for TOS forumites sick of the same old topics to spot the instances of TOS actors, producers, sets, music and effects that I discovered proliferate this show, but, if it makes you feel better, you go right ahead :) Jeeeez...

Of the three shows under the supervision of Herb Solow at Desilu in the 60's that led to the Renaissance (and, allegedly, near bankruptcy) of the studio, Mannix is the one I'd never heard of before becoming interested in researching the behind the scenes story of Star Trek. I'd read that...

Panem, I look forward to more of your insights into this underrated episode. Glad there's a few of us in this thread that enjoy it! Location filming (I've scouted the locations, if you want them for a blog post, just let me know), some sharp Spock/Bones stuff, Scotty and Uhura getting great...

I finished all three discs, and I have to say things pick up quite a bit on the second and third discs. Less screen time given to interviewing people who had nothing to do with the show, and much more meat. Disc 2 contains a wonderful collection of unused angles and shots of the Enterprise...

For years I believed there was a scene in Cormbomite where Rand delivered Kirk a uniform. There was a still of it in one of the early Compendiums. Watched all of Disc 1 last night, and, as grateful as I am to have this product at all, I must say its frustrating so far. For example, Space Seed...

Picked it up today. I can't believe this archive survived five decades. Bless the Okudas for going through all the material. I'm trying to pace myself, watching an episode then the deleted takes/trims/whatever. It's a bit cumbersome : you watch the episode then need to watch the extra material...

Now that the embargo is over, spoilers are fair game, so (slight) spoilers lie Beyond... B+ I thought it was the best Trek film in a long time. It was a much more accessible film for general audiences -- you needn't have seen either of the Abrams films or be versed in Trek at all to enjoy...

I went to the premiere a few weeks back. SLIGHT SPOILER WARNING... I thought it was the best Trek film in a long time. It was a much more accessible film for general audiences -- you needn't have seen either of the Abrams films or be versed in Trek at all to enjoy this one. They wisely are...

This is how I always interpreted it as well.

In defense of Gerrold, put yourself in his shoes. He allegedly created quite a lot of the TNG concept only to be shut out by that universally reviled lawyer who worked full time for Roddenberry. That show made millionaires out of a lot of people. It's gotta hurt.

I've been avoiding this book. It looks like a semi-professional Cushman style effort. The names Altman and Gross remind me of those unlicensed episode guides of the 80's and 90's. When I skimmed it in the bookstore it just looked like a collection of quotes from old magazines. Shouldn't have...

Yep, no question postal votes were the difference. The old rule of thumb that these favour the coaliation (older voters, more affluent on holidays) seems to have saved their bacon. I thought Turnbull was just about gone in the couple of days following the election, but the postals got him over...

Exactly right. And if you guys ever visit the TOS filming locations, you'll see they found spots where they could drop the equipment, then tilt the camera from that same point in different directions and give the impression that they were in different areas each time.

TSFS Enterprise approaches Excelsior inside Spacedock, and Uhura is impressed. Look behind her and her display shows : RANGE COORDINATES : SPACE DOCK McCoy's Star Wars inspired favourite bar serves "ARCANIS LAGER". The Starfleet waiter that walks past Kirk and Morrow has an interesting...

Coming home to this weather wouldn't be fun. It's six degrees in Sydney this morning!:wah: For anyone wondering what the new Senate might look like : Coal 28-30 Lab 25-26 Grn 7-9 Xenophon 3 Hanson 3 Lib Dem 2 Hinch 1 Lambie 1 A final result is still weeks away. Counting those things ain't easy.

They'll get through the house. As for the Senate, it's going to come down to Pauline, Derryn and Nick. Hanson will likely vote with the Coalition. As for the last two, who knows?

TWOK Chekov asks the fateful question : "Does it have to be completely lifeless?", and Terrell goes over to his station to check it out. The station has a desigation above the instruments : LOGIC CONTROL SEPARATOR

All the contracts signed at the premiere as a condition of entry were collected. They explicitly stated reviews and revealing details about this film are expressly forbidden, and went on in great length about potential remedies for breaching said contract. Read the half page of legalese on the...

Downward envy is pretty revolting. Here the checkout people have all been replaced by automated checkouts. Your cashier may see how much fun life is for people with health cards in the near future. I wouldn't have argued. I would have complained. You're doing the business a favour -- people like...
