New TOS discoveries in HD/DVD

[Grant]

Well coming around full circle to post #1

The little hut in Shore Leave is at 12:25 and it's pretty clear that there is a pole of some kind coming out of the building.

At 23:33 there is a shot of the Yeoman where her tunic is torn & i've never seen the female uniform zipper before, but it is clearly on her left shoulder.
Also to my eyes when she puts her uniform back on---it appears theuniform is torn but it doesn't seem to be the SAME torn uniform she took off. The big separation of her black trim that was in the earlier shots seems to have been pinned and the tear is now near her left shoulder.
It's funny they keep saying no sentient, animal or even insect life, but everywhere you look in this episode--even at the beginning are neatly cut down tree stumps!!
They are eveywhere. I guess they didn't have the time or money to cover the stumps with brush or whatever to hide them.

Lastly the subject of the 'side' of Spock's station.......

As we know the bridge set had removable sections for the camera to get in.
The section most often pulled out was the section to the left of Spock's station.
But it does bug me that they often show the SIDE of his station. I mean they are pulling the section for camera access but they should have tried a little harder to keep the illusion they they bridge was actually solid. Sometimes Nimoy even let his hands hang down BESIDE his console where clearly that would be impossible if the bridge was 'real'
Anyway there are a few shots of the side of Spock's station in Shore leave.

That's a freakin' riot!!

Talk about 'not seeing the forest for the trees!!'

"Yep Jim, until I saw that rabbitt there were NO SIGNS of any human or animal activity on this entire world---what the hell---I'm sitting on a neatly cut down log!!! I'll be damned---I really WAS 'beauty intoxicated!"

Just found a new one last night............

I've seen Court-martial 25 times, but I never really noticed that when Kirk first meets Cogley----Cogley is writing in pen on a legal pad.
When he gets up to go to the computor, he puts the pen in this little pouch he has directly in the center of his 'vest'
It seems specific for this purpose. I must have 'seen' it without 'noticing' it all these years.

Anyway later in the court when Spock runs in with news of the tampering with the computor Cogley gets up and approaches the bench.
His pen is in the little pouch. Then he is diverted to Shaw's table by her objection and then, after a cut, when he returns to walking toward the bench----the pen has diappeared from his vest.

I thought it was kind of cool that after not really noticing the pen-holder for all these years, i couldn't take my eye of of it and then there would be a little cont. error I saw involving the pen.

But the real MASSIVE coincidence was that my mom was watching an episode of 'Murder She wrote' on DVD earlier in the day and the killer was an actor who was caught when it was noticed that a pen was missing from his pocket in different takes of an episode of the show he was taping!!!
I swear to god---100% true.

What are the odds I'd be walking through the room on the exact scene where someone watching a TV episode on video catches the killer by a pen appearing and disappearing from his pocket and then that night I'd find a TOS episode where the same thing happened?

Wow..and I just watched Court Martial last weekend. I think I still have it near my bluray so I will take a look..and yeah..that is creepy about the pen. Maybe this is a TREK/Murder she Wrote crossover we have all been hearing about!!!

[Grant]

That's funny. my mom also watched a Magnum PI/Murder She Wrote crossover on DVD.

I get them for her at the library season by season and I'm visiting one day and she's watching Murder She wrote and I see Tom Selleck as Magnum. I say, "Where'd you get the Magnum PI DVD?" and she says, "It's a crossover episode with Magnum and Murder She Wrote."



So perhaps they should have had Data on Next Gen go back to 'Cabot Cove' via the holodeck and solve a mystery with Jessica fletcher!!

I loved when shows like that crossover...And since Magnum often mentioned McGarrett, and since Magnum also crossed over with Simon/Simon..that means Hawaii Five 0--Murder she wrote--Magnum PI and SIMON/SIMON all exist in the same universe!!!

[Grant]

The 'Simon & Simon, Magnum P.I., Murder She Wrote Universe' !!!!!!!!!!

the mind boggles.

Diagnosis Murder & Matlock were in their same universe too, right?

I think DIAGNOSIS crossed over with many shows..

Somewhere on line is this site that tracks all the universes...look for TV CROSSOVER UNIVERSES and you should find it..guy does a great job..

[Captain Robert April]

That one would be trickier to pull off, what with one being on CBS and the other on ABC...

Watched Arena last night and saw i bunch of things i never saw before..........

When they first beam down and there is smoke rising from behind then---I just noticed the smoke is coming from various bucketts or cans painted black and just stuck in the ground.

In hi-def it is much more clear just how much and how fast they covered Shatner/Nimoys faces with 'soot' (from the smoke billowing about.

A 'phaser 1' Kirk is carrying in his left hand appears and disappears after the red-shrit is killed. Every time he moves it is gone, but in the close-ups he is holding a com. in his right hand and a phaser 1 in his left.

At 5:43 after they have moved the injured Lt to a safer spot, a bird flies out from behind a wall from right to left. Never saw that before.

I love how kirk asks Kelowitz's advice where he thinks the gorns are (to their right) and kirk agrees and then doesn't move the grenade launcher an inch toward where he pointed.

When the gorn goes to pick up the huge rock--his 'skin' separates behind his vest.

When Kirk grabs the large tube he is going to use for the cannon at the end, he heads towards the iconic rock formation that he earlier pushed the huge boulder onto the gorn from. And guess what----the huge rock has re-appeared right where it was before!!

I never noticed that when Kirk is about to deliver the 'coup de grace' to the gorn he puts the sharp tool to his neck and then after he decides to spare him----the tip of the object is covered in blood. He did come very close to killing him I guess!

 

[Captain Robert April]

Maybe Shatner cut himself during the scene.

 

[HarryM]

I always assumed that he put the point in one of the wounds from the cannon.

 

[Therin of Andor]

perhaps they should have had Data on Next Gen go back to 'Cabot Cove' via the holodeck and solve a mystery with Jessica fletcher!!

Data would make Jessica Fletcher the prime suspect, 'cos wherever she goes, in every episode, people die mysteriously!

 

[Forbin]

I love the banal, "I'm sorry it ruins the episode for you."
It's a hoot when folks try to put words in other people's mouths for some reason. I guess it fills some need.

And yet you don't hesitate to to go on and on about how people are pathetic and sad (and now banal), and how you feel sorry for them if they have an opinion other than your own. What needs are YOU filling here?

How about dropping the beligerant, self-aggrandizing psychoanalitical bullshit and just talking about the show?

I specifically like the [FONT=Arial]Floor markings In TOS: "Journey to Babel"[/FONT] mention.

 

[BillJ]

In the Galileo 7 (on Blu-Ray), McCoy comes from the back room of the shuttle holding his phaser upside down (emitter point towards his head).

I can't find the image on TrekCore...

"When I came aboard!"

What I want to know is, Why does cogley need so many books in kirks room????? I think I counted at least 90 books in there. Not only that he didnt even get Kirks permission to mess his entire room up with all those books.

 

[Grant]

Yeah, I guess he needed to find a precedent where a defendent was being framed by a computor and he needed every book in his library!!

But I love how kirk walks in his temporary appt and without even looking around he grabs a bottle of Saurian brandy and pours himself a glass. THEN he motices there is a person in his quarters with dozens of books everywhere.

Well, we all have our priorities.

This morning I watched "The Ultimate Computer". Two things I noticed, both in the same scene. When Daystrom has his "heart-to-heart" with the M-5 on the bridge, you can see the colored tape on the floor (in the background, behind Uhura's chair) that shows one of the actor's "marks". Also, while Daystrom's speaking, you can see the shadow of the boom microphone on the wall behind him.

I also noticed that Daystom is "The King of Cartoons" from "Pee-Wee's Playhouse". Wow, his career really took a hit after the M-5 failure!
