The command division jump suits also register as green. Aren't those uniforms, too?
Does anyone know the source of the sweetener used when McCoy puts his hand through the dissolving table in The Tholian Web? I think it's also used when Natira opens the doors to the Oracle in FTWIHAIHTTS.
@Ssosmcin, report to the Briefing Room.
I'm not sure how you'd see it on a 15" color TV circa 1968, but in 2026 with a 80" screen that's as large as the Enterprise's main viewer, "Elaan of Troyius" has a rather lovely view of Kryton at the start as he kneels down in side profile to the camera next to the transporter control. If only those groovy 1968 placemats used as costuming were a little more supple then we wouldn't get to see it... plus, if there's any patterns on how to make the costumes, as well as those groovy 1968 placemats, there should be a nightclub themed for wearing them. Maybe called "Theiss-Way-To-Go-Go" given his incredible array of designs over the decades...
(On edit: "Incredible" as in "Incredibly good", just to clarify, the guy deserved awards for especially his Trek designs but he was very talented. His balance (metaphorical or literal) in so much costuming was always impressive, but for every Andrea or Natira, you might spot a Kryton once in a while - just not as often. Great article on him.)

I don't think it was a library cue. It sounds like an edit of two strums of a harp or lyre in "The Tholian Web." Only one was used in "Hollow."
The closest I can find is the lyre in "Maiden Wine."
LOl the faith you have in me is wonderful
Thank you mate!
Well deserved. And having been accused a time or two as having some musical abilities, I have to say that your area of expertise is quite appealing to me.
I think I may have mentioned this somewhere before a long time ago...
Granted, The Cage is canon, but it was never broadcast during the original run.
In the context of solely The Menagerie, in response to Pike's "You'll give her back her illusion of beauty?", the Keeper's "And more" is left open to interpretation by the audience. (Of course, in this context, there's still nothing to stop the illusion Pike being one possibility.)

I suppose now one could argue that if she did get a fake Pike to keep her company until he came back to her, he can hardly point fingers since he's now lived his own fake life in a moment with Batel.
For all the years I saw The Menagerie without knowing The Cage, the line "And more" seemed a perfectly natural thing for the Keeper to say. The solo shot of Vina they cut to was very flattering, like they'd taken her beauty from 9.8 to 10. It was an excellent bit of editing that obviated the story change problem.
Which plate did Uncle Leo bring again?
Both, of course.
