No, I think you got them all. That was a fun idea for a question. I never thought about that before. I suppose it was a relatively rare occurrence because the dramatic templates are usually variations of "stranger comes to town" or "our guys go somewhere new." Having one of our people coming back as a start is an interesting third course.

 

[Nelson Au]

Thanks Lee. I hadn't thought of it either. It is an interesting way to get the story rolling and creates the Macguffin that our heroes must resolve.

 

[Ockeghem]

Lee,Please feel free to take a question. I'll just keep mine in reserve for the time being.Although this won't alter the scoring for Nelson's question, I have this nagging feeling that there may be at least one more instance. I'll think on it for a time (yes, a short time).

 

[Nelson Au]

Scott, I'll be very interested if you find another instance when an Enterprise crew member beams aboard the Enterprise during the teaser!

Sorry to read that Sarah Marshall died over the weekend. I always thought she was distinctive; not quite like the other actresses who got the same kind of parts. She had such a lovely voice, which may have been part of it. She certainly added some layers to what was one of Kirk's more complicated relationships on Star Trek.

 

[Nelson Au]

I didn't know that Lee. I recently saw her in an episode of Thriller. Her appearance there and on The Twilight Zone are surprising because her appearance, or hair, is so different, I didn't recognize her. Until I heard her voice, as you point out Lee. Nice to see she had a long and varied career.

Going back to the problem of Mr. Kyle. I was listening to The Omega Glory. It seems Mr. Galloway has the same problem. Kirk referred to him as Mr. Gallway and Spock calls him Galloway. Maybe he was confused because he dies by Captain Tracy's treachery and come back to life later on?

 

[Nelson Au]

It dawned on me today that perhaps there's a reason for Kirk mispronouncing names. It's a very flimsy theory. . I wondered based on Space Seed, it was made for a short time, a running gag for Kirk to get names wrong of the crew in lower decks starting with 'McGivers'. Then going to Kyle and then Galloway.

 

[Nelson Au]

And just to keep things going, how about a flimsy trivia question?Name all the people and things that Mr. Gary Seven put to sleep or zapped with his servo?

 

[FanCollector]

Interesting theory, and one that at the very least gives William Shatner every benefit of the doubt!Mister Seven zaps the security guard with the goofy smile outside the brig.

 

[Nelson Au]

Yes, the security guard is the first victim!

 

[FanCollector]

There's also the guard at the base.

 

[Nelson Au]

Yes, poor Sgt. Lipton.

 

[Ockeghem]

Gary Seven zaps a couple more redshirts as well. I can't recall if there were any more than that.

 

[Nelson Au]

That's right Scott! Two more zapped, Mr. Leslie and Mr. Lemli. Or whatever his name is.

 

[Ockeghem]

Nelson,Leslie looks a bit too comfortable in that shot. Perhaps he is dreaming of chicken soup? Or maybe Ruth.

 

[Nelson Au]

I'll bet you 10 bars of latinum it's Rurh!

 

[Nelson Au]

I forgot to mention, poor Sgt. Lipton. He gets it twice. Once from Seven and once by Spock's Neck Pinch!

 

[Nelson Au]

If you guys are still game, there's still a few objects that Seven zaps with his servo.My workload recently has kept me from reading the new revised These Are The Voyages Season 1. I guess it's hard to read having just read nearly the entire first book. But I want to get back into it.

 

[Ockeghem]

Nelson,Ahh, I missed 'things' above and was thinking only of persons. How about the lock to the door (on Earth) and the force field (when he's locked away) on the Enterprise?
