Seems kind of funny to have moats in a world full of starships, shuttles, and transporters [/QUOTE]

Or even a world with planes and tanks!

Everytime I see this location used in Star Trek or elsewhere it cheers me up. I visited the park last year so love it even more now![/QUOTE]

Would you be so kind as to tell us all where this park is?

Ask and you shall receive:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasquez_Rocks


Also a list of TV shows and movies that filmed there:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasquez_Rocks_in_popular_culture


There's a lot on that list, but I'm happy to say that there's a number on that list that filmed there in homage to Star Trek, like Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and most recently Paul.

Sisko's shirt looks the wrong colour - more like STXI's command shirts than TOS'.

Thanks!
Given its rugged beauty and its proximity to LA, I can see why it is used so much.

If I am ever out that way, I'll have to check it out.

Saspearia, Capt_Pickirk and edisraf do not post images from other websites. This is called hotlinking and a warnable offense here at the BBS. Consider this a friendly reminder.

For future reference, you may only post images that you are hosting yourself or from a hosting site such as Photobucket. For more information, please read the board rules.

Thanks for the heads up! Didn't think of it when I did it, but you are right.

Question: Dos this apply to avatars too?

^ Yes it does. But we allow you to upload your avatars to the BBS server so that should not be a problem.

Brilliant, brilliant pic!

Sixties makeup aside, I think this has a nice counter-symmetry with First Contact. It's probably less striking to modern audiences but I can imagine it would have been quite powerful in that first season run of TOS. And I love pathos of scene...

Christine, Christine, let me prove myself. Does this make such a difference?
