Ever Notice His Hand Wrapped?
- Thread starter Doctor Bombay
- Start date
Plus as it was in TLOZ it's even more believable than usual - the episode goes out of its way to depict Scotty as love-struck so it's perfectly explainable that he wouldn't notice the wrong insignia
I never noticed that before. Maybe he was temporarily co-assigned to the Science Department in scientific support of Lt. Romaine executing the "direct transfer" (read, installation via transporter) of the equipment to Memory Alpha.
Well, the badges were lightly sewn on and removed each day when the shirts were sent to be cleaned, which is how that happens. But odd that it happened for so many shooting days, because...
...his badge is inconsistent in the episode. In the scenes in the engine room it's the usual spiral, e.g....
...but everywhere else it's the science badge. Be interesting to look at the production reports and see what day the engine room stuff was filmed.

If he hadn't had to point those sideburns, he'd be near full muttonchop!

According to Memory Alpha, "The Lights of Zetar" was filmed 1 November to 11 November 1968. It doesn't list any episodes in the engine room, but it does list scenes in Emergency manual control on 8 November and 11 November, the last two days of filming.
Mr. Scott's other scenes, with the science emblem on his badge, would have been filmed on some of the other five days of filming.
