Hey, I never noticed that before....

The guy's gotta' sleep sometime.
I assumed the Enterprise could stock four (or more perhaps six) shuttlecraft, but she never seemed to get up to her full capacity. Here are a list of all shuttlecraft references for TOS Episodes (in broadcast order):
Two shuttlecraft destroyed. Only in its last appearance in S3 does the Galileo get renamed Galileo II NCC-1701/7. Overall, it seems that the Enterprise only carries two shuttlecraft and has room to receive visiting shuttlecraft of one or two more. Bad timing for Sulu when the Enterprise was at zero shuttlecraft during The Enemy Within.
- The Menagerie, Part I - Starbase 11/Shuttlecraft 1. Stored on hangar deck.
- The Galileo Seven -
- Galileo NCC-1701/7. Destroyed.
- Columbus NCC-1701/?. Recovered.
- The Doomsday Machine - Unnamed Shuttlecraft NCC-1701/?. Destroyed.
- Metamorphosis - Galileo NCC-1701/7. Recovered.
- Journey to Babel - Galileo NCC-1701/7. Recovered.
- The Immunity Syndrome - Galileo NCC-1701/7. Recovered.
- Let That Be Your Last Battlefield - Starbase 4/Shuttlecraft ?. Stored on hangar deck. (Canned special effect shows it identified as Galileo NCC-1701/7. Maybe they were just shuffling around the ship’s shuttles to make room for the new shuttle, or maybe E previously dropped it off at Starbase 4 and Loki conveniently returns it to E - small galaxy theorem.)
- The Way to Eden - Galileo II NCC-1701/7. Recovered.
If there are only 4, why is Galileo 1701/7?
Yes, it is. If you're smart. The audio mix is not great.Call me contradictory.
I overlooked where the author gave permission.
Regarding films or literature where the director/producer or author dictates the changes—yeah, thats their prerogative. It gets dicey. Star Wars was a completed film when originally released so George Lucas redoing it is kinda change for change sake. TMP was not a completed film when released and Robert Wise wanted to complete it—thats not change for change sake. He wanted the film completed as he intended with the tools they had at hand. But decades later those resources were no longer at hand so they used contemporary resources to recreate what could have been done originally given sufficient time.
Another distinction. The theatrical version of TMP is still out there and available. But is it even possible to see the original theatrical version of Star Wars?
There was one DVD release of the original trilogy of Star Wars, scanned from LaserDisc editions. So, that would be "yes," with the caveat that it was an awful transfer with noticeable artifacting.
I seem to recall some years ago of complaints the theatrical version not being availabl, or at least easily available. I didn’t know whether that was still the case
"The Naked Now" during my TOS rewatch last night....I noticed three things that hadn't clicked for me before:
Not sure if these have been called out already or not, but I'm not going to read 206 pages of stuff....so my apologies.
1. Joe, despite being supposedly shaken up by the deaths of the scientists on Psi 2000, pretty disrespectfully puts his hazmat suit glove on top of the frozen/dead engineer's head when he does his scan that results in his infection.
2. There is a "puff of smoke" in the food dispenser when Joe gets his plate of colored cubes in the rec room
3. The indicators on the medical readout in Sickbay, when Joe is being operated on, change depending on the camera angle. When we are looking past Chapel at McCoy operating, they are all over the place. When the camera focuses solely on the indicators screen, they are all aligned but dropping steadily.

I'm using some of Kirk's speech to Cochrane from Metamorphosis for a project.
It only occurred to me the other day, when he says:
"We're on a thousand planets and spreading out"
Kirk meant we are physically on a thousand planets.
I always took it to mean, we are up to a count of thousand in terms of mapping/exploration/discovering, not the physical being on them.

For the most part, I agree. On the other hand, if it's with the author's blessing, it's basically an updated version.
When we republished Sibyl Sue Blue, the one change we made (with the estate-holder's blessing) was the description of a minor character from "Negro" to "Black". It would have strongly affected the reader in a negative way these days, and both terms were around in 1966, when it was written.
Yeah, colony worlds is how I've always taken it, or maybe also counting humans living on other Federation homeworlds or the colonies of other Federation members as well.
Well, it kinda still is the case. It was a limited, single release only, and the quality is very poor.
It's a little better on the Blu-ray release; but yeah it's a pretty raw and simple transfer with little to no cleanup of the film stock whatsoever.
Blu-ray? I wasn't aware it was released on Blu-ray. Do you have a link?
Here's Wookieepedia's article on the DVD: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Original_unaltered_trilogy
I haven't played it in a while; but it's part of the Star Wars Complete Saga Blu-Ray box set.
And no I don't have an Online Link for it as it's something I got from someone for Christmas many years ago.
That doesn't have the unaltered original trilogy, though.

I never stated it had the unaltered original trilogy. It has the unaltered original version of the first 1977 Star Wars film.<--- for me that's the only film I really wanted as I still feel it's the best Star Wars film in addition to the best version of that film.
It does?!? I did not know this. I will look for it next time I rewatch all the disks.
According to TMOST (page 191), the Enterprise has six shuttlecraft.
I just checked and the version I got for Christmas years ago was a special limited edition that has the original 1977 STAR WARS theatrical amorphic transfer on a single separate disc. I'm really not a big Star Wars fan but the friend who got it for me knew I loved the original 1977 Star Wars theatrical release and that's why he got it for me when he saw it.
I have that too, but AFAIK it's available only on DVD. Unless we're talking about one of the de-specialized fan-made editions or some other kind of bootleg.
