The Mandela Effect on TAS

I just checked him on Memory Alpha. That guy made a lot of appearances!

I know. I can't not see him anymore when I watch the show. In the past though I guess I didn't see him any different from any of the other extras.

I thought maybe Richard Basehart guest starred in an episode and I somehow missed it.

Shatner and Basehart acted together in that TV movie from the seventies about the US civil war and a trial or court martial of one of it's officers!

I was born in Elmira, NY....the Union equivalent of Andersonville.

To the Confederates it came to be known as 'Helmira'.
 
One day in the not-so-distant future, I'm sure this will stick in someone's head and they'll insist a model of the USS Discovery appeared in The Original Series:lol:

As far as STC goes, I can hear Shatner's voice talking to Apollo in Pilgrims of Eternity when Apollo finds the moon missions on the view screen, proudly proclaiming that humanity remembered him, plus I've mentally replaced the word "deity" so the phrase goes" Remembered, but not as a God." I had to seriously sit and think and figure out what episode it was, and that it wasn't Who Mourns, and that it was STC, and it wasn't Shatner at all, and i had the line of dialogue wrong...... but I can HEAR Shatner's voice saying it in my head....
 
As far as Mandela Effects go, there is a story I've heard from someone who insists they remember an entire storyline on Voyager where Chakotay was killed, and was absolutely shocked to tune in later and see him still alive.....
 
I'd never heard of them either, retro! So they must have only been in the US!

Nope, I read them in the eighties in the school library, in Yorkshire. The Bears Picnic, Bears in the Night, Spooky Old Tree. Made sure my own kids knew them too.
 
Yes, I'm with you. My brother and sister had a few of those books and used to get them from the library. I was a little older and remember wondering about the spelling of "Berenstain" on the covers. I think people were so accustomed to names ending in "-stein" that their brains filled it in for them. Sort of a mental auto-correct mistake.



To me the classic is the people who (mistakenly) remember seeing the deleted Star Wars scenes in 1977. In the early '90s I argued about it with a guy who was so convinced that he had seen Luke looking up at the star destroyer in the sky, I thought he was going to take a swing at me.

The thing about those is Lucas practically creates Mandela effects. The deleted scenes were in various Making Ofs...then edited out when he put those docs on Blu Ray. Some of them also cropped up in things like comic adaptations, novels, and the radio version. I always remembered subtitles in Jabbas Palace, because otherwise I could understand Bib Fortuna, but according to friends and the last time I watched Jedi, I am mentally dubbing in those other sources.
Of course, there’s probably a universe where none of that happened...an oddly I would prefer a universe where Phantom Menace made money in 3D and George made episode VIII, not Disney.
 
According to Mandela Effect supporters, there is a universe out there where the phrase "Beam me Up, Scotty!" was used all throughout the original series and gave birth to the well known pop culture phrase. Supposedly, Henry Winkler is suffering from the Effect, and they use a clip from Better Late Than Never where he is shocked when finding that out. The real life episode is actually really funny, and Shatner does some "Kirk" impressions, and says the phrase for the FIRST and ONLY time..... lmao.
