Hmmmm....also in 'Arena', the first time Kirk kneels down to talk into his recording device, he is wearing lace up boots. Maybe the Metrons decided he needed more ankle support. 
Hey, I never noticed that before....

Well, I guess he really had to take a major leak and he just said "Oh, piss on it."
The CGI folks didn't get the memo that reptiles' eyes blink from the lower eyelid; they blink *up*.In the remastered 'Arena', I just noticed that the CGI gurus have added blinking eye lids to the Gorn.
I'm also surprised the new FX techs didn't add a lizard's tongue to the Gorn footage to match the hissing sound FX.
Sacrilege to alter The Gorn! God how I loved that green skinned guy as a kid! He scared the life out of me but I respected him no end!

When Kirk first encounters the Gorn, I am reminded of that famous line from 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'.....
"RUN AWAY!!!"
"RUN AWAY!!!"
I was watching "Shore Leave" last night and noticed that during the fight with Finnegan. Kirk was wearing a white undershirt and white socks. As was Finnegan's stunt double. Maybe it was cold there.
Yes. I figured that even while shooting in the Summer, up in the foothills during the early or late hours it would start to get kind of chilly. Or they were just wearing extra padding for the fight scenes.
Maybe the CGI folks should have had the Gorn lick his eyes too.
I was watching "Naked Time" recently and during the scene in the rec room, I noticed some of the crew playing what looked like a 3 D version of checkers. You can see the chess game that Spock plays with Kirk there too, but this was a different game. Does anyone know if it is a checkers version or a different game entirely (I believe it's during the argument scene between Joe, Sulu and Riley)
In Stephen Whitfield's classic book, "The Making of Star Trek", there are recreation room photos of the square/4 level checkers game and on the next page is the 3D chess set. I have enough trouble understanding normal chess, let alone a 3D version.
In "The Cloud Minders", Kirk beams down to Vana's cell. He sparkles as he materialzes, but the filter mask he is holding just fades in without any transporter effect.
Spock's displeasure with Kirk and McCoy's "insufferably pleased"-ness at the end of "Friday's Child" is due to jealousy that his name wasn't part of the baby Teer's name.
^ Just to get Spock further annoyed, McCoy should have told him that the baby's name was 'Leonard James Green Blooded Hobgoblin Akaar'.
Thanks. I'd love to play space checkers. I don't think I could figure out 3D Chess
have you tried to play the game?
And it's under James T. Kirk! lolWell there is only one bathroom on the whole ship, after all.
