What Changes Would You Like To See For "Dagger of the Mind"

[AC84]

Helen Noel's panty shots and Dr. Adams' neural neutralizer are up for grabs this week. An effects lite episode, there really isn't anything worth updating other than the space shots and it's just as well. This gem of an episode still holds her own today.

First appearance of the Vulcan mind meld!

Maybe they'll comp an elderly Trip Tucker into one of the cells.

"I'm Trip Tucker, dang it, and I'm still alive! I swear!"

Too bad they probably won't change the colony matte and not reuse the Delta Vega one. Didn't anyone else ever wonder why a penal colony needed that vast field of tanks stretching off into the distance?

^ It's tanks filled with Meds of course. ^

Lots of meds, loads of meds, enough to make one go loopy.

Sevral times over even.

Naked Helen Noel. There are plenty of full-frontal shots from Medium Cool (1969). They could used to digitally replace some of the clothed shots in the episode.

Also, where is this planet with the tanks of meds? I'm grading a batch of sophomore papers, and could use some meds right about now.

I expect the space shots, basically.

I really see nothing they can change aside from shots of Tantalus V and the Enterprise. None of the stage props and instrumentation/equipment will likely be tweaked.

They could add the guys from the Planet'arium.

I always felt a TREK episode could use a cameo from a nurse with a dead fetal twin attached to the side of her head.

Maybe they could smooth out Van Gelder's face with some digital dermabrasion. :thumbsup:

Re: What Changes Would You Like To See For "Dagger of the Mi

I think they should add scenes featuring Bruce Dern as Van Gelder's father.

The resemblance is remarkable.

They should replace Helen with Jeri Ryan.



THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID IT!

Well, if the colony is supposed to be self supporting, they probably need a fuel supply. Even on my college campus they had coal and a coal fired power plant in the middle of the campus. And that's in a city. Imagine having a colony away from civilization -- you'd definately need fuel and possibly hydroponics.

And Prozac. Lots and lots of prozac.

Great. Paris.

The one girl who would make us all want to HATE Dr. Helen Noel. Besides, I don't remember anything in the old TOS script saying Dr. Noel was supposed to have syphillis and sleep with two hundred crewmen during the episode.

Re: What Changes Would You Like To See For "Dagger of the Mi

Paris would sleep with four hundred men.

And Uhura.

And the astrogator console next to Sulu's station.

And the sickbay medpanels.

And Kirk's boot.
