NEVER believe anything Shatmandu says when his signature is "Joe, noted Trek historian".

Outpost4 is correct.

Joe, noted Trek historian

Can we have a confirmation on those Vulcan penises then?

She was originally modeled on a member of the Salvation Army-and that's how she got funding for the mission...

But of course you couldn't use the real Sally Ann on TV, especially since she got killed by the truck...

the optical house just got Harlan's early script when doing the credits and it still had her as a Sister...

Hey all, my first post in this forum, so I extend my apologies if this was discussed recently.

I was watching 'City' on the new Captain's Log DVD set, and I noticed something curious--Joan Collins is billed as 'Sister Edith Keeler' in the closing credits of the episode. Now this must have been some sort of mistake, because unless I'm incorrect, only Catholic nuns are ever referred to as 'Sister' and Keeler's feelings toward Kirk are definitely of a romantic nature. She also (obviously) isn't wearing a habit, not even a crucifix, and never mentions religion once. So my question is this--was Edith Keeler originally meant to be a nun? If so, was this credit simply a mistake, something that was meant to be corrected but slipped past the producers?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

She's spoken of the episode on a few televised specials or sci fi award shows, and she usually gets something astronomically wrong. Like the time she referred to Edith Keeler as Hitler's girlfriend.

The word is "hyperbole" -- Edith Keeler's actions facilitated the rise and victory of Hitler, thus "Hitler's girlfriend."

Sheesh.
