Why didn't the crew start calling Seven 'Annika'?

[Timewalker]

Actually, speaking of changing clothes, if this is later in the series, couldn't Kirk be in one of those green numbers?

It really was a random roll of the dice depending on how self concious about his gut Shatner felt each week.

Or each minute. In "The Trouble With Tribbles" he did a quick-change during a brief elevator ride to the Bridge.

I just finished watching "The Troubles with Tribbles" because of this post. I watched it all the way through without any scene skips. I even watched the preview for alternate takes. I thought Guy had introduced the clothing change, and I was going to lord it over his head until he reached my age. And I don't even like the episode.

But I was watching for a costume change. I didn't spot him wearing the regular shirt, only the wraparound, and can't even remember an elevator scene. But since I've been relaxing for over an hour, it's highly possible I'm not running on full thrusters. But it had the CGI effects, and I noticed the little Enterprise outside Lurry's office was moving.

It could be a different version (ie. one where different scenes were chopped out for commercials)... but I am reasonably sure that in The Trouble With Tribbles, Kirk went into the elevator wearing one shirt, wore a different one while he was in the elevator, and exited wearing his original shirt. If I can find the episode somewhere online, I'll check for myself.

BUT I had an amazing picture in my head reading some of this. Future Star Trek show of Greg Cox's crossover time travel novel. It can be a movie or a double episode. And we have NuKirk who is hot and played by Pine and we have 7 and she is played by JERI RYAN who looks just as good if not better today. I am sure Jeri would love to be in a major blockbuster movie starring opposite Chris Pine as his love interest and we wouldn't even have to wait for events to conclude! There could be sexual tension from scene one! I am sure Greg would not mind these additions to the script.

I bet he couldn't have put that in the book even if he wanted to as the Treklit PTB would be like uhh.. you know how no one is ever to know what Yoda's species is well 7 cannot get it on with anyone in this part of the VOY timeline because she is being saved for Chak, how would Chak feel if he knew he was not just rescuing an emotionally feeble borg with his love but following in the notches of James T. Kirk? Of course they can't do that to Chak. Plus they had to save up all the Chak angst for killing Janeway.

Not even Jeri Ryan could get me to like the mess that is nuTrek.

I was watching a "Tribbles" with the new effects, so perhaps an elevator scene was cut. I don't have my prerecorded VHS tape anymore from the 80s. I do remember a scene like that from another episode (though I'm blank on which) where there was a "quick-change" due to recycled footage.

You should get Seven to help you.

It is incredible how much recreational equipment exists on the Enterprise that we never saw!

What movie referenced the bowling alley?

Oh and I'm not trying to beat anyone reading this book, I'm just reporting my progress because it amuses me that Greg can read my reading his book in real time. I wouldn't have read it so quickly if I hadn't been stuck on a train for two hours a day, I'm a very slow reader.

 

[Melakon]

Kevin Riley mentions a bowling alley in TOS: The Naked Time. But he was intoxicated, and might have just been talking shit.

This makes me wonder why, if they had a bowling alley, they didn't shoot bowling balls at enemy ships. Mass is mass and momentum is momentum, and so is a hole in the ship when you get enough mass shot fast enough.

Or in the words of Mike, in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, "We throw rocks at them, Man."

 

[Guy Gardener]

The U.S.S. Enterprise had a six-lane bowling alley on board.
According to Star Trek Blueprints, an authentic set of blueprints for the Constitution-class Starships released in booklet form in 1975, there's a pretty giant bowling alley on Deck 21, right next to the "Refreshments Area" and the "Food and Beverages Preparation Facility."

6 lanes.

Sweet.

I was actually a little nervous about whether CBS would let me use the swimming pool in a book, even though it's been mentioned in non-canon sources before. But nobody even raised an eyebrow.

 

[Guy Gardener]

I'm still at that point in the battle, but as soon as I read about the pool, I was thinking that one way to repel invaders is to play it the ships gravity plating... At which point the pool would just go mental and run wild across the ship.

By the way, stop Whedoning the redshits.

Making me care, just before you whack'em.

I thought I should be picturing somewhat seedier and more Shatner Kirk

That's the next book. Really.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

FINISHED.

And now I have to find Yesterday's Son! To read about something mentioned that I did not know about!

Maybe I have it already, I have a bunch of older TOS books I've never read.

I thought I should be picturing somewhat seedier and more Shatner Kirk

That's the next book. Really.

OOOOOoooooo okay that's excellent.

Will this also be a crossover? Will 7 return and meet the older Kirk?

Kirk: Miss 7 I hope you don't mind my saying, you're as attractive as I remember.

7: ...

No Seven next time. Just straight-up movie-era Kirk . . . and lots of Chekov.

 

[Melakon]

Chekov won't look as good in the catsuit.

 

[Gov Kodos]

Maybe, it will be Cyrano Jones in the catsuit?

 

[Greg Cox]

Think crazy Shakespearean actress instead . . ..

 

[Guy Gardener]

Willl someone please write more about Harry Mudd's hot and duplicitous daughter from the Abram's Universe.

Groovy. Revisiting Lenore's story would be fantastic.
