If you could go back in time and either be on set for, or feature in an episode, what one would it be?
If you could be in one episode/on set...
- Thread starter Methuselah Flint
- Start date
"City on The Edge of Forever"
Either that or one of the pilots.

I would be on the set so Shatner could teach me how to do that Flying Kirk-Fu Kick. 
I would participate in my favorite episode, Trouble With Tribbles.
I find it to contain some of the most humorous exchanges between Spock, Kirk, and McCoy.
(Spock) "Most curious creature, Captain. Its trilling seems to have a tranquilizing effect on the human nervous system."(Spock) "Fortunately, of course, I am -- immune to it's effect --"
Spock's constant attempts to refute his human side often slip up in situations like this.

I'd want to be on the "The Trouble With Tribbles" set, and hope I'd be able to get one of the Tribbles as a souvenir. 
Would he though? Would he deign to talk to you?I would be on the set so Shatner could teach me how to do that Flying Kirk-Fu Kick.
Friday's Child, assuming I'm allowed to travel with the cast and crew to all fIlming locations. I'd get to see Vasquez Rocks and observe an utterly awesome set of Scotty-in-Command scenes. And resist the urge to yell at Grant not to draw that phaser.
Absolutely! Bob Bralver (still with us thankfully) was a recurring stuntman and they could have paid him for an additional day to be on set in the briefing room (which I think is the Doylist reason Grant wasn't there; Memory Alpha says they shot the briefing room scene first, on a half-day of Friday work, before any Capella IV shots).
In fairness I think Starfleet security training and the need to protect valuable officers, as well as surprise at the sight of essentially an enemy combatant, probably took over and would have overridden any mission-specific info.
But seeing them block and film Grant's scene - Shatner's acting as he fights the urge to retaliate and spits out the "he was young . . . and IN-EXPERIENCED" line is fantastic - would be priceless.
I'd prefer to join Scotty and guys for a drink.Oh no, bar fight!
Just don’t ask Chekov to help you fight the Klingons...every time he tried to punch that big Klingon in the stomach, he wasn’t even close to making contact.
Chekov would be better joining me hiding under the table.Just don’t ask Chekov to help you fight the Klingons...every time he tried to punch that big Klingon in the stomach, he wasn’t even close to making contact.
Yeah, seriously. As to both of them.
Also . . . I love that picture! Never seen it before. Where'd you come by it?
Before or after the photoshop?
(It's a hilarious montage and that is a great photo of the android turntable creation machine...)
If you watch one of TOS blooper reels on Youtube, you’ll see a brief blooper scene where Kirk, Andrea, Korby and others are dancing on top of that spinning Kirk duplicator thingy.
Ah. Got it. Thanks!
