Thanks for doing these so quickly! These are always one of the first things I seek out to read after watching an episode.
What I always wanted was someone to rearrange all the clips into chronological order. I don’t know why but it bothers me that they skip around.
- The one time I got to see Gene Roddenberry speak, he had brought along a blooper reel, which I think was fairly common to show at Star Trek conventions in the late 1970s, early 1980s?
- The Greatest Trek podcast mentioned that "TK" in the name TK Bellows is clearly an homage to the publishing term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_come_(publishing)
- The Greatest Trek also felt that the Uhura assistance to Scotty was a nod to her caregiving of him in Star Trek 5 (bringing him dinner while working, going on shore leave together)
I forgot about Gene Roddenberry's sideburns in the 1970s. Hmm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Roddenberry#/media/File:Gene_Roddenberry_crop.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov#/media/File:Isaac_and_Janet_Asimov.jpg
Why didn't they just put Batel in the medical transporter's pattern buffer, like M'Benga did with his daughter?
It is the best of a bad bunch. The TOS movies inspired the TNG movies. The TNG movies inspired a lull in the movies (no call for a DS9 or Voyager or Enterprise movie) that had to be filled with a reboot.
If it is a promotional image from the studio, I would imagine it said something like “Star Trek Now on Fridays” originally. I think “pon farr” wouldn’t have yet been well known enough to mention.
Egads this is hard! I got two lines in and gave up. Free to anyone who wants to continue:
Captain Pike, Number One, emotional Spock, Talos IV,
Alien zoo, laser overload, General Order 7,
Great site! Alexander Siddig was on the first episode of Foundation, btw.
A little remarked side effect of time travel is that it causes infatuation (Kirk, in "City on the Edge of Forever") and horniness (Spock, in "All Our Yesterdays"). La’An experienced both!
Edit: I forgot about Bashir and Jadzia in "Trials and Tribble-ations" but honestly they just seemed to be acting in character!
As I've written elsewhere: By "time-traveling doctor," Pelia was clearly referring to that time she did drugs with McCoy in the 1930s!
