Another Channel 48, WKBS Philadelphia STAR TREK bumper slide:

Bumper slide from Philadelphia's WKBS airing STAR TREK. That station started STAR TREK just as it hit syndication in September 1969. I eagerly watched as I'd missed some first season episodes, having started watching on NBC in earnest at "City On The Edge Of Forever". We were also lucky in...

Back to "The Cage". When the first cobbled-together black & white/color version was issued on VHS, it was placed in that numbered series logically as Episode Zero (0), with that designation on the spine. It was a perfect place for it, but then when they prepared the full color version, rather...

A behind-the-scenes shot of the Enterprise. This is from one of those Lincoln Enterprises 35mm film frames.

As I mentioned above, I only have experience with the TIME TUNNEL ViewMaster reels. All of those are indeed alternate shots taken during the episode's filming or rehearsals by the special 3D cameras. In one shot on my set, you can see the microphone clearly low in the frame. And of course the...

I never grabbed the ViewMaster set for STAR TREK - in fact, I really didn't think to grab ANY ViewMaster sets. I was already a teenager in the STAR TREK era so I think ViewMaster sets seemed like a relic from childhood. There is however one story about ViewMaster and another show and me. One...

And I can confirm that I had one of those that contained the "Goodnight Sweetheart" music. Though my memory failed me regarding having a LaserDisc, I surely did have one of those VHS tapes with the transporter background, and it was an episode I watched often. Always had "Goodnight Sweetheart"...

Now that you say that and I think more on it, I never had an LD of that title. Sorry for my misinformation. What I DID have was two different VHS copies. One was from the very early release through Fotomat. They sold those off when they got out of the tape rental business. Then the numbered...

Though I had both VHS and LaserDisc originals of "City...", I was lucky enough to have always gotten copies with "Goodnight Sweetheart" intact. In fact, I think someone here may have sent me one of the altered versions, jut so I could hear the change.

We ploughed through that documentary sometime last year, I think. I know it didn't take us long to get through it. As one who was there from the first NBC Peacock of STAR TREK, 'and' who was a young adult for the animated series, I was both happy and a bit dismayed with the animated series. It...

That's absolutely correct.

I've noticed the Worf development as well. We're into the second season and the writers are still giving him militaristic lines and positions. In "Where Silence Has Lease", as he and Riker are confused about the multiple bridges on the "Yamato", he barks at Riker and snarls at a closing door...

"The Arsenal Of Freedom" happened to be last night's TNG episode on the H&I (Heroes & Icons) Channel. One of the things I really liked about the episode was the bright colors of the planet Minos. The green foliage against the brilliant blue sky looked good on old CRTs but even better in High Def...

Has anyone ever attempted to shape their sideburns in the Star Trek pointy style?

Yep. 29 was the absolute last. I was happy when UPN caused the move of all Trek up to 57. They had stereo!

Rohner's makeup AND his attempted acting put me off. I was also underwhelmed by Pataki's part, but was happy to at least see him back in STAR TREK.

It was purely the bad make-up and Rohner's hammy acting that put me off of this episode. I get the same vibe from that Albert Finney SCROOGE and am simply taken out of any story. I DID like that Michael Pataki got a chance at THE NEXT GENERATION and remembered him from his TOS turn, but the...

Oh, of course. I hate making a stupid mistake like that in what I thought was an otherwise erudite post.

I stuck with THE NEXT GENERATION all the way through. I taped every episode. "New Trek" was a precious commodity back then as other than the movies, we were still basically stuck with 79 well-worn episodes. So even though some of the early Season One episodes had me rolling my eyes, or at least...

Last night's episode on H&I was the first season "Home Soil" and it's one that I usually choose to skip over, but I sat through a good bit of it just because it was there. I always had a problem with Walter Gotell in this episode. I can't put my finger on it, but he seemed like an actor playing...

No-one wants to see this:

We just have to watch out if Disney gets their grubby hands on Trek.

At various conventions, I recall seeing James Doohan - I think I posted a picture earlier in this thread. It was back in the 70s. I doubt if I met any others at conventions - back in those 70s, they were really crowded affairs in large hotel ballrooms. However, I had been able to meet some of...

I've been a member there too for a very long time, but really dislike the nasty way they moderate that board and some of the stupid rules they enforce. Like not being able to bump up an old thread. Heck, I nearly got bounced for doing that. Every other board either lets you do that or they close...

My memories go back to the truly classic days of once-a-week STAR TREK on NBC. They, of course, ran all of the NEXT WEEK promos and had network bumpers at the half-hour break. And of course, they all started with the classic NBC Peacock.

I believe it covers it all since the title says "and films". STAR TREK fans often tend to be original-series-centric.

Both "Catspaw" and "The Apple" got recent rewatches from me. I was never crazy about "The Apple" but it gets a few high marks for its use of brilliant colors. "Catspaw" was always a bit of a puzzler for me. I watched it live on NBC as it aired the first time (I was a teenager), but it was also...

I never had a problem with "The Alternative Factor" - in fact, as high school students when it aired, my buddy and I were pretty impressed with the idea of alternate universes and being able to cross over from one to the other. It was somewhat reminiscent of "The Borderland" on THE OUTER LIMITS...

The final moments of that episode are some of the most gut-wrenching of the series. "Forget..."
