Hey, I never noticed that before....

[scotpens]

My apologies if this has mentioned this before, but the most shocking "Hey, I never noticed that before" moment was seeing the discarded newspaper lying on the floor in plain sight in the room behind and to the left of where McCoy is sitting at the end of "The Lights of Zetar". I mean, WTF!! How could that have not been noticed at the time of filming and, more importantly, edited out afterward!

Just how were they supposed to edit it out? The only way would have been to optically crop and enlarge the shot, making it grainier and cutting out Mr. Spock entirely. There was no digital editing in those days!

Point taken, however one should question how many takes this scene had, as scenes are normally repeated several times during filming. Not only should Nimoy have noticed it at some point (one would think so, anyway, considering it was within his peripheral vision), so should someone from the set crew. I never noticed the newspaper in the original filmed version. It seems like I recall the lighting in the back room being somewhat darker than what you see in this photo, but I could be mistaken.

There is a video online somewhere showing this elaborate dance sequence, and when you get to the end, it asks if you saw the bear. So you go back through in slo-mo, and there is indeed a bear, or someone in a bear costume, wandering through the dancers in the middle of the performance. We see what we want to see. We used to see what we need to see, but we're breeding that out of ourselves over time.

Maybe they picked it up when they visited earth in the 1960s in Assignment:Earth and it was McCoy's turn to read and have a laugh with it?

It was a copy of the "Yonada Times" with an article on how some outsiders had assisted the people of Yonada in finding thier new world.

In Shore Leave from certain angles the black knight suit is empty and in others has the guy with the plasticky face. Kirk and McCoy walk by a log cabin with a short telephone pole beside it. Possible evidence of sentient life perhaps?

In the episode Assignment Earth, when Isis the cat changes into Isis the woman, she still has cat ears sticking up through her hair.

I know this thread is about the TV shows, but I only noticed for the first time ever, recently, that in TSFS, as Kirk's heading for the elevator in Starfleet Headquarters with Chekov and Sulu, there's a blonde lady sitting by the doors. Its just her Head & Shoulders in the shot, as the camera pans by, but I was so surprised at myself ... never saw her there, before.

This one I'm not sure about....it looks like the photos on the small viewscreens above each station on the bridge have been remastered.

The entire film was remastered. I think you meant that you think the pictures were digitally replaced, but no, they weren't.

To quote Bugs Bunny, "Yeah, yeah. That's the ticket."

Maybe the race that trained Gary Seven were a race of cat people? That or she forgot to change her ears?

A woman wearing cat or bunny ears is a classic erotic fashion statement. It suggests that she might be willing to act on physical passion without over-thinking it or talking it to death. Those ears are the promise of a less complicated, less inhibited, less morally restricted kind of female.

In short, they're the exact opposite of wearing Vulcan ears.

Now the question has to be asked ... does Isis have a large fluffy tail too?

Don't all women have large fluffy tails?

 

[Tenacity]

Yes we do.

My dear Tenacity of course she does!

Can't remember if I've mentioned it before, but one of my favorites is in "The City on the Edge of Forever," just as Kirk and Spock are about to jump into the Guardian to time-warp back to the past, Nimoy resolutely snaps the top hood of his tricorder shut, and yet, when they appear in 1930s a moment later, the hood is open again.

 

[johnnybear]

Maybe it was the force of the jump then, JE?

The same way no one noticed that Scotty's uniform has a SCIENCES insignia, not Engineering in certain scenes..
