I meant the difference between your ship's gravity and whatever planet you send an away team to. If the atavachron adjusts you to new conditions, you could use/modify it to get you ready for different planet conditions.
Hey, I never noticed that before....

- Start date
This is reminding me of my head-canon that, when applicable, starships have their shipboard clocks run fast or slow en route to subtly sync up the crew with the local time at their destination.
Vulcans have the Death Star?

Both McCoy and Chapel have carried Spock's katra (TVH and Return to Tomorrow, respectively).
Well, TWOK and TSFS actually
I guess that would have been the first time he could discuss it - after it was over.
Shore Leave
As Kirk and Spock head back to the glade, they are strafed by the plane. On the lower left corner of the screen cap is a crack/fissure with a distinctive inverted V.
Next they run into the Samurai. After they knock him down they run by the same crack with the inverted V that they just passed.

Not to mention the shadows. The filming crew had to pick up some shots after the sun had set one day so they lit things up as much as possible to 'simulate' daytime, and had to stage said shots according to that, hence why the sudden overhead viewpoints here and in Sulu's isolated encounter with that samurai. As far as the shadows are concerned with that, they're way too pronounced and pointed, while in the left you can see evidence of where the stagelights were starting to fade.Shore Leave

That's a very unfortunate situation, if they've gone to all the expense of outdoor shooting, and then the shot looks like studio work because of the artificial light. I'm sure it's a very brief bit in the episode.
But didn't the Samurai come up out of a trap door? That would have to be built on the studio stage, right? I'm trying to remember the moment.
Spock’s Brain…
When our boys find the cave entrance, the 2 redshirts take up positions. The blond on the left side of the screencap and the dark haired on the right. But…
…when the boys enter the cave, the blond redshirt jumps to the other side of the entrance. You can barely see him in the screencap, but faster than a speeding bullet he jumped to the other side.

I am so late to the game on these:
1. The Romulan Commander's eyeliner over the upper eyelid tapers off toward the edges then turns sharply upward, in direct parallel with her eyebrows. Really nicely done and artistic.
2. The viewscreen of the Enterprise (original, no bloody A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or the rest of the song that you'd somehow manage to hear on both "Sesame Street" and "COPS" but that's not important right now) appears to be comparable to a 80~82" LCD TV screen that's the norm nowadays. At least, based on "Spock's Brain" when Kirk is on the edge of the set as close to it as possible, which gives a solid approximation of vertical height (40", or very close to it). Add in Kirk's height, flip that horizontal, one can then extrapolate horizontal length of roughly 70 inches cuz all us dudes are like 5'10 cuz 6'0" is too pedantic and even by my standards, so anyone buying smaller than that may now feel duly disappointed. Since it's harder to guess aspect ratio and I doubt it's 1.78:1 despite being close to that, but I'm off to find a still photto of the viewscreen plus screencaps of any bog standard comedy film that was shot in 1.85:1 (but likely cropped to fit 1.78:1 on blu-ray as the loss is nominal) and where was I going with all this again? (looks up to the fluffy things in the sky) AAARGH! You wretched soufflés!!! So anyhoo, that new rear-view projector was a really sweet idea to go along with some new camera angles to freshen up the show, I wish they didn't ditch it for the rest of season three...

TV Size To Distance Calculator (And The Science Behind It)
Choosing a new TV for your room can be a daunting challenge. The market has never been more complicated, with dozens of new models released each year and a mountain of marketing jargon to work through.

If a film's intended aspect ratio is 1.85:1, it was almost certainly shot "open matte" -- i.e., exposing the full 1.37:1 frame with the top and bottom masked off in projection. So if it's cropped to the standard modern TV ratio of 1.78:1, that means you're actually seeing a bit more picture at the top and bottom, not less.
In any case, the main bridge viewscreen appears to have an aspect ratio of 1.75:1.
I just measured the McMaster drawing with a ruler. I got a viewscreen length of 68 inches, height 40, and diagonal 80.
Even allowing for error on my part, that's remarkably consistent with your eyeball figures. I wonder if McMaster looked at stills from "Spock's Brain" and came to the same estimates you did, in the same way.
TY TrekCore for this! I was watching "And The Children Shall Lead", for which a couple of good scenes are marred by so much more gaudy dialogue, and yet if words could break glass then they did on the console just behind Kirk (right of abdominal area):
I wonder if the crack happened before then, since - in an adjacent panel - the whirlygig at Spock's panel had stopped rotating in season 2 but they at least kept the light on. How much damage would have occurred on these sets during years of put-ups, take-downs, move to storage, rinse, repeat, conditional, braid, curl, get high off the smell of the gel, etc.

Yes, the McMaster bridge blueprints are outstanding, groundbreaking.
She was good, despite being given some crap lines, and having to play in a crap episode. I wish she'd come back multiple times.I read "McMasters" and I think "Lt. Masters" one of my favorite one off crewmembers.
