Yeah, it's definitely not TOS style.
Hey, I never noticed that before....

Speaking of props in the episode "The Galileo Seven", there was that unintentionally funny scene where Spock was pinned down by that large boulder, probably one of those fx foam rocks.
I couldn't help but laugh because it was obvious to me that Spock was holding that boulder in place against his body as he was pretending (acting) to be struggling to get that rock off of him. It was ridiculous that Spock's arm was stretched across the boulder pulling it towards his body, preventing it from rolling away. Totally illogical.
Whenever I see that scene, I yell at the tv screen, "push it Spock, stop pulling".
I always wondered had it landed on his foot? If not I can't see what was holding it there apart from Spock himself!

In the grand tradition of Bela Lugosi [or actually his stand-in] wrapping the fake octopus' tentacles about himself in Ed Wood's Bride of the Monster!
...And now I'm picturing Nimoy taking a shot from a flask and yelling, "All right, let's shoot this fucker!" right before that scene in "The Galileo Seven."

Uh-oh! I sense a new topic: "What if Ed Wood had directed Star Trek?"
E.g.: "He's dead, Jim! And somebody's responsible!"

The hapless Mr. Berkeley tries to beam down some materials to the Tantalus colony. There's a printed label on whatever he's beaming down "Attention Dr Tristan Adams". The "Dr" part of the label is glued over the top of whatever was written underneath it previously. Someone got his title wrong.
The stuff Berkeley beams up bound for Stockholm has an interesting label as well. Stockholm isn't in Sweden, it is in "EURASIA-NE". There's hope for the EU yet it seems. Britain might want out, but Asia wants in.

^ We learned the continent name as "Eurasia" in school, because they explained that the separation between "Europe" and "Asia" was more political, and physically, they were the same landmass.
So labeling something as being in "north-east Eurasia" doesn't really imply any political membership... it's just where it's located geographically.

Except Stockholm is in Sweden, in the NorthWEST.
When you're addressing an envelope, you want to use an actual place name, not "somewhere thataway" with an arrow next to it.
Maybe Berkeley was still dreaming of Yeoman Rand in the corridor?

Cool. Thanks for pointing that out
My letters to Santa say differently.
In the future, Asia is still Asia, but Europe will be "Euasia." And so Sweden will be in the North-east of Euasia.
Spain and Portuguese will be part of Euafrica.
Is this where the Eugenics War started?
I always liked that gigantic bottle of pills. Someone would need an entire Big Gulp to wash one of them down though. I also noticed that it doesn't have a child-proof cap. Tsk tsk.
Touché! Well, maybe the "NE" stands for something other than "North-East"... maybe "Nordic Expanse" or somesuch. At any rate, I just meant that "Eurasia" identifies the physical continent, rather than any political union that Asia would join. It's similar to someone identifying a location as "Ottawa, North America" rather than "Ottawa, Canada".
The Nordic Empire.
