Hey, I never noticed that before....

Space Seed....as Kirk leaves Khan's quarters, a security guard is seen through the open door behind Kirk, standing in the corridor. His face is plainly identifiable. Cut to outside Khan's quarters and the security guard is different. It's now stuntman Bobby Bass. Those redshirts are really quick at changing duty stations!
 
The briefing room scene in "The Corbomite Maneuver" always felt a little off to me. I thought it was because Uhura looked sleepy, or Sulu being passed out, or just the clutter on the table....

The table!

The color-scheme was not quite locked for "The Corbomite Maneuver". In addition to variations of the transporter console and the main viewer, the briefing room table was a stark white: (also, another thing I never notice before about "Corbomite": Kirk is seated at the computer station. I can't remember seeing that before, either.)

By "Mudd's Women", the next episode filmed, it was peach-topped with black trim:

And so it would remain until "The Savage Curtain," when this iteration of the conference table took its final bow:

In the picture above, showing the bowl with the cubes, if you look at the multi-colored food, they look like dyed marshmallows!
 
While Robert Walker Jr. was playing a 17 year old as Charlie-X, he was actually 26 at the time (just 10 years younger than Grace Lee Whitney). He played a very convincing teenager, I thought. This year, Grace would have been 87 and Robert is 77.

I've said it before and I can't say it enough. Robert Walker Jr. is a vastly underrated actor. Able to give great depth and complexity yet often menace to whomever he plays.

From Charlie in Star Trek. To a young man stalking Audrey Barkley in The Big Valley to a meek man trying to stand up to his bullying brother and save a wild horse in Bonanza to a falsely condemned man on death row on In the Heat of the Night.
