Anyone who gets horny. Who wouldn't want a Delos Resorts on the ship?

Brilliant, sir. Great reading. It's episodes like this that i use to illustrate to people how great TOS was, the bold and intelligent scripts, and depth of subtlety to the stories. P.S. I think the episode owes much to THE ENEMY BELOW with Robert Mitchum and Curt Jürgens, particularly the two...

Don't worry, it will. Eventually. (Go through the Great Barrier at the edge of the galaxy to accelerate the process.) ;) Ah, Franklin Mint. Boldly pratfalling where no collectable company has stumbled before.

Noooooooo. Then they'd remake ST III, ST IV, even ST V,... or they'd make a remake of ST TMP leaving us all scratching our heads....

Such exaggeration. :P I always felt it was a "space show," i.e. they're travelers in space. It would be boring to be "visiting strange, new worlds" every week. Like a nautical tale in which the only parts you hear about are the ports of call. Lots of action out on the open sea for whaling...

Yeah, I've always liked how much of the drama is coming from the "ticking clock" deadline to save their own lives, the growing enamorment of Kirk by Miri (a young girl who clearly is becoming a young woman, amidst fear and responsibility of her role and her age),... there's a lot of human drama...

I always loved "I, Mudd" as a kid. It was like "Trouble With Tribbles II." The cast getting to have fun and use their (comic) acting chops. I never thought too hard about "Catspaw," other than to realize that science fiction does NOT have to be all space and aliens and technology. It can use...

The propmaster for Cawley's Star Trek New Voyages, Greg Schnitzer IIRC, was/is a regular on the Trep Prop Zone, and his article/threads on certain props, particularly the really obscure ones, were fascinating reading. (I haven't been active for a while, it was emptying my bank account!)[1]...

You all probably know this, but ... recently someone prompted me to look at ST: TNG on Netflix, and I selected "The Inner Light." Unknown to me, they now appear to have remastered episodes. OMFG it looked crisp and clear. Great episode, up there with "City on the Edge of Forever."

Fun drinking game. Finish a beer every time in ST: TMP McCoy walks onto the bridge, delivers a line, then walks off. I dunno why they did that.

One more... I think it's in "The Corbomite Maneuver" when the senior staff are all in the briefing room, sharing coffee, planning. As the camera dollies around the table, Doohan picks up the coffee thermos and pours a cuppa. In this and many subsequent episodes he disguises his right hand...

"I'll still put my trust in a healthy set of lungs." I'll bet that's what Darnell thought, too. ;)

I hadn't realized that this is September, 2016. Wow, I'll have to pull out my Season 1 BD set this weekend. As an old school Trekkie [sic] I have more than enough affection for the early episodes, the props, the staging, the goofs, the sheer fact that they were still inventing the show at that...

Holy warp cores, it's back!! I concur, it looks great again (couldn't bear to go see the last "restoration"). Can't imagine what to nitpick about, she looks marvelous. And it's neat that they are firing up the lights at special times during the day. Make it a visitor's "event."

A great beginning (regular season production), immediately establishing McCoy's personality. And watch for an early shot of the phaser with the sight raised IIRC.

I always liked the line they gave D. Kelley about the Asian continent wars of the 20th century, "and it went on for bloody year after bloody year..." One of those fine hours in which ST got some pointed commentary by the network S&P censors....

I visited the gift shop week before last to see the case... Empty of course. My replica quest had been on hold while I chased a GOLDFINGER 6538 homage. Though out of work now, I keep eyeing my two DStines comm kits and John Long hand phaser kit, wondering if I can find someone reliable to...

I might be wrong, but that might be the WorldCon that Karl saw the firing Blade Runner blaster (later auctioned for beaucoup bucks), and called Richard Coyle to get his butt down there and examine it (Coyle has made many, many fine replicas of it, I have a resin copy with working electronics...

That ... is AWESOME. Shows how dramatic and exciting TOS was if you let you imagination go. (Though I still sometimes kack on the HD remastered FX.)

I actually have a MacOS copy of the 25 Anniversary game on floppy and CD ... couldn't get it to run on my only Mac, a 1996 era PowerBook 5400 (what John Cusack used in GROSSE POINTE BLANK). What do those GOG games run on? I wish I could un-see that 15-cd set from La-La Land Records. Agh. Want...

I have a hard time watching Miri after Grace Lee's personal anecdote(s). Good episode, but it was unfortunate that she couldn't continue as a core cast member like she deserved to. I literally cheered out loud when I saw her come back in the movies, even if it was cameos (really LOVED her bit in...

Unfortunately it seems that sites are happy to post uncorroborated information, speculation, innuendo ... because it generates page views, which means $ or £ or € . I'm far more resistant to click links than I was 10 years ago. If a site launches a popup ("Subscribe!" "Take our survey!" "We'd...

I heartily recommend the BD for Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). There's LFE when Veronica Cartwright finds the body that I haven't heard since the theatrical release (or the Denny Zeitlin soundtrack LP, which I still have). I'm shopping for a subwoofer[1] partly on hearing that that...

I watched "The Naked Time," "City on the Edge of Forever," "Amok Time," "Journey to Babel," then finished up with ST II & VI. A fitting weekend tribute to Nimoy.

Ah, yes! "This Side of Paradise" is one of the best for many reasons. His closing scene with Jill Ireland is a series high point. I overlooked "City on the Edge of Forever" because it's really Shatner's star turn at the conclusion. But Nimoys restrained performance as Kirks friend, as he sees...

Naked Time, Journey To Babel.
