    I thought the entire saucer was the bridge.

    That would have reduced the cigar-section levels to a maximum of four, and made turbolifts a waste of credits.

    I think there was a toy like that. And then there was that inaccurate Gold Key cutaway that made the ship only a few decks high.

    (Shouldn't this be in the spinoff thread?)

    Irwin Allen's The Time Tunnel, was already canceled and off the air for over a year by the time the TOS S2 episode Assignment Earth, aired.

    It makes sense though. I can totally understand how a kid would come to that conclusion. A bridge that leads to the bridge. Very nice.

    I was probably influenced by my local library, whose downstairs children's section had a fish pond with a short bridge you crossed over to get to it from the foot of the stairs. People would drop pennies or nickels into the pond, presumably making a small contribution to the library's operating fund. The pond and bridge were still there are recently as six months ago, just as I remembered them after nearly half a century (gods, I'm old), although that branch is currently undergoing a renovation that includes an "updated, sustainable fish tank," and it doesn't look like it'll be in the same place anymore.

    Wow… “Peterson complained he disliked having his accident repeatedly replayed on television so often.”. Oh yes, I can totally imagine that would suck
