Hey, I never noticed that before....

I just browsed through Stephen Whitfield's book, "The Making of Star Trek". In the second section of photographs is a view of production crew members at Vasquez Rocks. It looks like it was shot during the filming of "Friday's Child". Anyway, in the background between Shatner and Joe Pevney I just noticed Bill Blackburn filming the area with his 8mm movie camera.

Thanks for the post. I went home and checked it out.
 
Oh Jeez, just making conversation. Velcro is full of those strange little hooks and loops, amusingly and endearingly strange. What was my logic? Why, none at all...
You seemed to think there was something non-Vulcan about Velcro. I thought there might be some reasoning behind it.

To me hooks and loops are logical way to attach thing.
 
We got an impressive "close up" in the third season "That Which Survives" when Scotty uses a "magnetic" wrench to somehow cut back the flow of anti-matter to the engines. When his first attempt almost triggers the anti-matter, he realizes he has to reverse the polarity of the device. To do so, he struggles to remove a "clip" from the tool's handle and then insert it again after twisting it. Doohan's hand missing the "bird" finger fills something like 20 to 25 percent of the screen area. Here's a link to the TrekCore screen capture.

Wow, he needs to trim his finger nails! Now that's not something I noticed before!

And that's what I meant. That "Carbon Creek" doesn't say otherwise becasue "Carbon Creek" isn't real Star Trek and didn't happen in universe.

In my own opinion and head canon of course.

There's always the possibility that she was lying and that she bought that bag for some obscure reason that we'll never know about.
 
Re Doohan's missing finger - nowadays, they would have used a hand double for closeups.

Does anyone know whether his being cast in a major role was an aberration for the 60s? That is, in the industry at large at the time, were actors routinely passed over due to visible disability/missing body parts?

The document calls Spock "Half-Vulcan Science Officer Spock" but doesn't call Pike "Fully Human Captain Christopher Pike." Double standard.

It also says "no Human should ever visit it again." Does that mean that Spock and Pike would support a non-Starfleet vessel with no Humans aboard going there?

Does this mean that Spock is only half-forbidden to go there?
