JB, are you still pining for Vanna, hoping she is on that cloud?
Hey, I never noticed that before....

Oh its worse than that: guess what rock is behind Garrovick as he fires his phaser and after:

(and am I the only one that sees a trollish face at the top of the rock?)
Nope! Sorry, Phase! I remember the guy who attacked Bones but the other scene I've only ever seen the once and I don't think it's the same dude!

What is the point of the black sash around Garrovick's waist? If it's to signify his rank as head of security then I don't recall Giotto or Stan Dickerson having one?

Garrovick isn't the only one wearing the sash in "Obsession":

Though later on he's not:

Maybe it denotes "I'm a member of a Security Detail and on duty " because we see the sash again in the 2nd season:
The guy(s) that enter to breakup the bar fight appear to be wearing it.

Isn't that just the belt they attach their phasers and communicators to?
Yes, it's a phaser belt worn when on duty. I don't know why they wore them outside their jerseys when senior officers wore them slightly under their jerseys. Are they wider because they're supposed to be carrying additional phaser power packs?
Dunno, but the look brings to mind US Navy sailors on shore patrol, with the white/green web belts for the holster and billy.
The early phaser 2 belt was brown and flared on the "hoister" side, later replaced with the black phaser/utility belt. I suppose that security wore them outside their shirts with their shirts tucked in so that nothing would interfere with their quick draw. Women wore them too, outside their skirts for obvious reasons...
They probably came up with the equipment belts for security because most Velcro(TM) came in black, and it was easier than trying to color match the uniforms. Remember, the conceit is that the equipment is supposed to magnetically adhere to their uniforms.
That shot of Cochrane greeting the shuttle is the most cinematic of TOS since the Rigel VII fortress.
It works in 16:9, too.
Great work, thanks everyone!

JB! It is absolutely the same guy. I'm talking (in the shot of the rec room from Let That Be) about the guy in red sitting to Hadley's left.
Same dude.
Right. Also, only regulars had the velcro sewn into their pants, so extras playing security guards wouldn't cut that mustard. This is sort of paralled in TNG when you saw, even as late as S6 and S7, extras in the super-tight skintight uniforms from S1 (and maybe S2) walking around. Picard et al. received the less painful uniforms at the beginning of S3 or whenever, but extras didn't rate. Same thing with the regulars in Star Trek getting the velcro at (I think) the beginning of S2. And the velcro didn't work for the women's uniforms, so they always wore belts if they carried phasers or communicators. (Although interestingly, at one point in The Apple Landon drops her phaser, then picks it up and places it on her skirt area, not on the belt, and it sticks!!)
They had a narrow black belt in the 1st season that we see in "Tomorrow is Yesterday", where Kirk and Sulu hand them over to the Air Sargeant, and "Space Seed," on the door guard.
But a cursory look through Trekcore indicates that the security cummerbund
may have first showed up in "Mirror, Mirror."

Kirk and Bailey wore buff-colored gun belts in "Corbomite"

By Any Other Name...when the bridge crew gets frozen, the crewman next to Uhura must have been moving too fast for Hanar.
I think your facial recognition organs might be off by one or two hundred degrees somewhere, Phase!
