    What was it like watching "Skin of Evil" for the first time?

    I was 15. Our family used to watch the show together and my memory of first impressions of most of the first 5 seasons includes context of my life...what we did that day, etc. Anyhow, I really liked the creature of Armus and found it fascinating, especially his absorption and later...

    I never noticed that before...Movie Edition

    I only recently noticed in Trek III: After the sun goes down on David and Saavik on Genesis, they look toward the landscape that the Klingons are advancing across. If one looks closely, the flashlights of the Klingons can be seen moving through the bushes in the long shot. This went unseen by me...

    Who are these people?

    Looks like Trek II extras to me. Something more to study when I next rewatch. Back Left twokhd0056.jpg (1920×806) (trekcore.com) Back Right twokhd0353.jpg (1920×806) (trekcore.com)

    TMP- Which "version" and why?

    Definitely the latest DE for me. It's a tighter story and I feel like the dropped SLV footage is redundant or silly stuff. I like that some of the better SLV footage makes its way into the DE, like the Alien Ensign being told their chances to return "may have doubled". For my money, I'd trim...

    Why didn't they just make Picard British when they cast Patrick?

    Oh yes, obviously I did misunderstand you! Ah well, agree to disagree.

    Why didn't they just make Picard British when they cast Patrick?

    Exactly this. He sings a British drinking song in "Allegiance". In "Samaritan Snare" he eats a white bread sandwich, cut diagonally with the crust off when it should be a brie on baguette. It's only when he gets proud of his family vineyard that we see any French culture.

    Favourite original FX shots...

    I always loved it too...I wish they'd more faithfully recreated this angle in the remastered edition

    Favourite original FX shots...

    Original shuttle bay looked great, too.

    Favourite original FX shots...

    I always loved the original "Alternative Factor" phaser firing shot.

    Bread and Croutons

    Not to mention Kirk later saying, "They threw me a few curves" to McCoy, when describing his evening.

    Which version of TOS is canon??

    That's always been along the lines of my thinking too, which is that Gary got it wrong on purpose to add insult to injury.

    If Khan had asked for Resettlement rather then steal the reliant What would the result have been.

    Spock doesn't get killed; Kirk doesn't steal Enterprise in Trek III to search for Spock; Kirk is not exiled on Vulcan, doesn't return to Earth in Trek IV; humpback whales are not retrieved from the past; probe destroys earth.

    Shatner, with Nomad (pre-production)

    Many hot water tanks are heated with natural gas, hence an exhaust flue.

    Post a DIFFICULT Star Trek trivia question

    Was David L. Ross/Lt. Galloway one of them? (Speaking parts/all 3 seasons). Other obvious guess - Mr. Leslie/Eddie Paskey, though I can't remember if he got lines in S2 or S3.

    Was TNG less progressive than TOS?

    It would be very interesting to read the contemporary memos and see what was being said at the time. Was even the germ of the idea, gay angle notwithstanding, considered not good enough or unworkable? If so, I'd expect a memo to say something like, "how about a different gay story?". Maybe it's...

    Was TNG less progressive than TOS?

    Found it. I got myself curious - I cleaned up my old magazines last weekend and knew exactly where it was. It's long - 3 pages. It was published October of 1992 and is all based upon a Mark Altman interview with David Gerrold. It's framed in terms of a discussion of the episode, "The Outcast"...

    Was TNG less progressive than TOS?

    I have a 1992 Cinefantastique that interviewed Gerrold in detail on this whole story. I think you have it mostly right, except that there was something about the lawyer being asked by Roddenberry to lie to Gerrold on his behalf. I could dig that magazine up and confirm. I appreciate contemporary...

    Subtle Shatner - The Thread

    Shore Leave: Spock tells Kirk that Vulcans consider "rest" to be sitting still and conserving energy and that he doesn't understand the human need to do activities while on leave. Kirk just smiles to himself, happy and content to see Spock being Spock.

    Hey, I never noticed that before....

    ^ Wow, I never noticed that before! Cool.

    Spoilers Jonathan Del Arco as Hugh

    Are we supposed to believe that Hugh would have those scars in a era that someone can be made to look like a Romulan and back again with no apparent ill effects?
