Hey, I never noticed that before....

In "Corbomite" there are guys in alternate blue uniforms in the background, visible just after Kirk gives his "it gives me emotional security" answer to Spock. They look like technicians maybe? They are blue uniforms that look almost like Sulu's uniform in "WNMHGB"...but they don't have a collar.

That Which Survives....during the earthquake, the plants and rocks that Kirk and crew are standing on shake, rattle and roll, but the plants in the foreground don't move at all.

They're obviously on a different continental plate.

As many of you probably know, Clint Howard, the brother of famous director Ron Howard, played "Balok" in the early episode of "The Corbomite Maneuver." I recently re-watched the HD version of it. Wow, Clint sure had a nasty set of teeth on him! Those weren't prosthetic teeth, but his own natural ones. I guess back in those days they didn't put braces on kids that young. When he filmed the episode, Clint was 7 1/2 years old.

What's unusual about this? Well... what I happened to notice when he opened wide for a big guffaw of laughter, was his molars. And wow, that kid sure had a load of fillings! This photo captures only some of them (he must've had about 10 fillings, a bunch obscured on his left side). Pretty crazy for a kid that young. I wonder if it was simply poor brushing habits or bad teeth.

That tranya was mostly sugar!

Like all big kids he couldn't resist the sweeties! But question this, who filled his cavaties all that way out in space?

The Apple....Kirk tells redshirt Marpol to "Cut around the rock to your right." Whereupon Marpol cuts around the rock to his left. Oh, well. Redshirts need loving, too.

That's the guy!

Great find!

Must have been soon after their encounter with the barrier at the edge of the galaxy and their warp engines having been repaired that the new clobber was issued out to the crew, but some members of the ship had to stay in their old uniforms due to Federation credit cuts!

Nah, it was the transitional period where they could wear one or the other, and he chose the other that day. Kirk dressed him down for it off screen.

Casual Friday dress day onboard the USS Enterprise.

I just noticed that Shahna has a mirror universe daggar attached to her....uh....er....uh.....backside.

 

[johnnybear]

Never noticed that before my Lord, I must have had my eyes elsewhere! No, not really she wasn't my type I'm sad to say but it's weird how they reused the props and we all missed them until this day and age! Is that because we have our own episodes of the show or that our perception has got better as we got older?

Another Bill Theiss costume that saved the TOS budget by using verrrry little fabric.

And lemonade liquor!

No wonder the redshirts were doomed -- they couldn't follow simple orders.

Naah, they're just security or engineering divisions. The myth of "red shirt" wouldn't exist if TOS didn't get made during the mainstream rollout of NTSC* color television goodness.

* NTSC = "never the same color", regarding the ineffectiveness of NTSC format videotape...

Yes, those Trek babes sure can be distracting.
