Hey, I never noticed that before....

Am I crazy, or does this guy (David Troy as "Larry Matson") look kind of like he could have played a younger McCoy in a flashback scene?

I keep seeing posts like this. Guys, I grew up in the '60s and '70s, TV reception wasn't THAT bad. Yeah, it wasn't hi-def, and the TVs weren't huge (well, some of the expensive ones were), but the cliche of somebody having to bang the side of the TV just to get the picture to stabalize is pretty much a joke. TV looked "pretty decent" for most of my childhood/young adulthood. Sure, I wouldn't trade it for my 50" HDTV, but the notion that we spent our entire lives squinting at a bunch of fuzz that barely constituted a "picture" is simply nonsense.

Hm. I grew up in the 60s and 70s too, and I remember things being a whole lot fuzzier then. Perhaps being in a hilly area made it worse.

In "The Man Trap", Larry Anthony appears as a red shirt technician in the transporter room as Kirk beams up. A minute later he is seen in a corridor wearing a blue shirt, leering at Yeoman Rand.

The same guy that Kirk reprimands for transporter procedure in Dagger of The Mind I believe?

Yes, he does have that Jackson DeForest look about him doesn't he!

I used to get LWT/Thames TV through the pipe, which was underground cables as such, and it was somehow fizzy with a line throughout and occasionly another channel would imprint on it but funnily enough it had the best programmes on it!

...or he is practicing a quick change magic act for the Enterprise talent show on Deck 6.

Leave him his banjo will you, Spock!

I'm sure a lot of folks have memories of the '60s and '70s being "fuzzy," but it has nothing to do with TV reception, if you know what I mean.

My fuzzy memories of Star Trek in the '60s were because it was on in the last hour of primetime and I was in preschool, and needed my sleep.

Yup. The same dude. Mr. Berkely. Another crew member who appears and then disappears forever.

YAnother crew member who appears and then disappears forever.

That'll happen when you don't bone up on your transporter procedures.

Transferred off the ship at the first chance that Kirk got!

I hope he didn't transfer to the USS Constelation, USS Exeter, or USS Defiant.

Just watched WGD. In the opening shot of the Elba II window you can clearly see the reflection of the camera support frame/dolly as it pulls back.

In DOTM, Kirk tells Dr. Adams that there are "no casualties" after Van Gelder's rampage. What about the transporter technician who gets karate chopped, the red shirt who gets a choke hold and the red shirt who was bonked on the head on the bridge? They all looked pretty hurt to me.

Or The USS Excalibur?

That's part of the confusion with the word "casualties" - it can mean hurt and/or dead, depending on who you ask. No Enterprise crew died as a result of Van Gelder's actions. (Which, granted, is pretty unusual for the Enterprise.)

Kras looks like he's marking his territory over there, and hoping Maab won't notice.

Those Klingons really are nasty!

In the remastered 'Arena', I just noticed that the CGI gurus have added blinking eye lids to the Gorn.

Well Kras was one of the more cowardly types of Klingon!
