"Star Trek Classic" Lists of Lists compiled by Mark Arthur Holtz Last Revised May, 1996 DISCLAIMER: "Star Trek", "Enterprise", and all other related items are copyright and trademarks of Paramount Communications. Any infringement of these lists on Paramount's legitimate copyright and trademarks is purely unintentional, and will be corrected upon proper notification. These lists are for the enjoyment of the reader only, and may not be sold. This is the Star Trek TOS/TAS List of Lists. It contains a listing of all the episodes for both the original and the animated Star Trek TV series, plus some added notes. (Due to the length considerations, there is a separate Movies, TNG, and DS9 List of Lists). Regretibly, this is the final edition. If you are wondering why I compile these lists, it is strictly out of the enjoyment of "Star Trek", and the wealth of information from other Star Trek fans who post on the electronic networks. After being irritated by the ever-constant requests for episode lists on Usenet, I decided in the middle of 1990 to post a list of episodes on a regular basis. It soon grew from that, and, with the contributions of other people, these lists grew to what you see today. (And they're still growing). The only payment I ask is thanks and contributions. I am not making a dime off these compilations. Did you know: In PDP-11 assembly language, there was a set of instructions that were specifically implemented for making linked lists. A linked list is a list that points to either another list or a piece of data. In the instruction manuals I read, these were referred to as "lists of lists" (unless, of course, the linked list pointed only to data).

A caret (^) indicates a recommended episode in the opinion of Mark Holtz. Your opinion may vary. Episode synopsis by Edward Champion. First Season -==========- The pilot episode, "The Cage", was made as the first Star Trek pilot, which was seen originally by NBC executives. They rejected that pilot, but asked for a second pilot to be made ("Where No Man Has Gone Before"). Later on, in the first season, production delays required that, in one week's time, two episodes had to be made. Thus, "The Cage" was edited and made a part of "The Menagerie". Only a black and white work print existed of scenes not used in "The Menagerie." In 1986, it was released by Paramount Home Video as it was releasing the entire TOS series on videocasette, which combined all related color footage from "The Menagerie" and filled in all of the gaps with the black and white print. (As a bonus, the tape included an introduction by Gene Roddenberry). In 1988, as a filler episode for TNG due to a writer's strike, Paramount aired "The Cage", with the black and white portions colorized, as part of a two-hour program "From One Generation To The Next", which aired between October 3 and October 9. (Segments also included a sneak peek at Star Trek V, the introduction of Diana Muldaur as Dr. Pulaski, and scenes from the upcoming second season). The full-color "Cage" was released on home video to replace the hybrid B&W/Color copy, but without the Roddenberry introductions. The first season aired on NBC on Thursday nights at 8:30 PM, under Desilu Studios.

[DELETE THIS LINE] The Best Of Trek ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the original Star Trek, Paramount had viewers call in and vote on their favorite episodes of Star Trek (original series). These episodes were aired over the weekend of September 28-29, 1991. The top ten episodes (with season in parenthesis) selected are: 10. Balance of Terror (1) 9. A Piece Of The Action (2) 8. The Menagerie-Part One (1) 7. The Menagerie-Part Two (1) 6. Space Seed (1) 5. Amok Time (2) 4. The Doomsday Machine (2) 3. Mirror, Mirror (2) 2. The City On The Edge Of Forever (1) 1. The Trouble With Tribbles (2) Syndication Notes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ United States -===========- Star Trek (TOS) is distributed to local stations by Paramount. It has been edited down in order to fit in more commercials, and is aired according to production code order, not according to original air dates. Australia -=======- Both the original series and the animated series are shown on Channel 7, which has perpetual rights to the series. England/United Kingdon -====================- The BBC is currently showing the original series Wednesdays at 6 PM, but is often pre-empted for sport coverage. "Miri" was shown only once, and it's airing caused a lot of mail from angry parents that the BBC decided to preview episodes before airing them. "Whom Gods Destroy", "The Empath", and "Plato's Stepchildren" were *never* shown in the UK, as they were deemed unsuitable for children. Germany -=====- The series is titled "Raumschiff Enterprise", which, translated, means "Starship Enterprise". It started airing in 1972 (?) on the German Public Network ZDF, and, after not being aired for several years, the series began it's current run on July 1, 1993. Part of the name change is because it would give the German viewer the idea of a western series in space, while the litterial translation, "Zug zu den Sternen", would have suggested a documentary. The episode, "Patterns Of Force" was not aired in Germany due to its Nazi theme, although SAT1 may air this episode. Incidentally, all references to the "Warp Drive" was changed to a "SOL drive" in ZDF version. However, the rights is now owned by SAT. 1 (a private network), and Warp drives are now referred to as Warp Drives. The opening into is: Der Weltraum, unendliche Weiten. Wir schreiben das Jahr 2200. Dies sind die Abenteuer des Raumschiffs Enterprise, das, mit seiner vier hundert Mann starken Besatzung fuenf Jahrelang unterwegs ist, um neue Welten zu erforschen, neues Leben, und neue Zivilizationen. Viele Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt dringt die Enterprise in Galaxien vor, die nie ein Mensch zuvor gesehen hat. ... which, translated, is: Space, unending expanse. We write the year 2200. [i.e., this is the year 2200 AD] These are the adventures of the spaceship Enterprise, which, with its four-hundred-man crew is five years long underway, in order to explore new worlds, new life, and new civilizations. Many light years distant from the earth, the Enterprise forges ahead into galaxies which no man has seen before. Some of the titles were changed in translation.

Here are the original titles, and the alternate titles translated back to English: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" -> "The Glittering Eyes" "The Naked Time" -> "The Evil Space Disease" "The Menagerie" -> "Phantomatic Mystery Beings on Talos" "The Devil in the Dark" -> "Horuta: The Underground Monster" "Errand Of Mercy" -> "The Invasion of the Klingon Empire" "The City On The Edge Of Forever" -> "The Dangerous Trip to the Past" "The Doomsday Machine" -> "The Gigantic Monster in Space" "Journey To Babel" -> "The Invasion of the Planet Orion" "Wolf In The Fold" -> "The Bloodthirsty Felon of Planet Arugirisu" "The Trouble With Tribbles" -> "The New Species" "The Tholian Web" -> "The Crisis of Captain Kirk Entering the Other Dimensional Space" Mexico -====- The series is titled "Viaje a las Estrellas".

Video Tape -========- The entire series is also available uncut from Paramount Home Video, and includes the original promos for the following episode. The ordering of the tapes is according to production numbers, with "The Cage" considered to be episode one. Laser Disc -========- All 79 episodes+pilot are available from Paramount. They are packaged 2 to a disc, not in numerical order. If you want specific titles, catalog numbers, etc. "The Laser Video File" offers a complete listing, or they are available in electronic form from the Barr LD data base. The complete set of the animated series episodes is also available in a boxed LD set. Only the recent all-color release of The Cage has digital sound. Some of my discs were made by PVI in the US; some by PVC in Japan. The PVC ones are mostly in the second and third seasons, and tend to have fewer defects. Many don't even have CX, although some (mostly the later/PVC ones) do. The original TV trailers are enclosed. At least one of the trailers contains slightly different composition from the actual episode. On the positive side, the colors are significantly more saturated than the broadcasts.

She was later destroyed. 8. Miri - Miri becomes infatuated with Kirk, who remained on "Earth."

Dagger Of The Mind - Kirk had a previous encounter with Dr. Helen Noel at a science lab Christmas party, and was reminded of it whem they visited the Tantalus colony with her as Kirk's unexpected assistant. Kirk's feelings of attraction to her were artificially swelled by Dr. Adams' Neural Neutralizer. 13. Conscience Of The King - Kirk forges, somewhat blantantly, a relationsip with Lenore Karidian, the daughter of Anton Karidian (also known as Governor Kodos of Tarsus IV), in order to find out more about Karidian.

Kirk was simply dedicated to his ship, and Dr. Wallace was dedicated to her science. 48.

When Nona is killed while betraying her tribe, Kirk does not shed a tear. 45. The Gamesters of Triskelion - Kirk gets involved with Shahna, a fellow "thrall", while in captivity on the planet Triskelion.

In this case, Kirk was totally dedicated, sincere, and willing to settle down and be a family man in the Native American style. Of course, once Kirk regains his memories, this side of Kirk goes away. Miramanee was later killed. 66. Wink Of An Eye - This was a rather amusing, and probably a little ridiculous, romance between Kirk and Deela, a member of the accelerated Scalosian society. Deela, however, stays behind on Scalos. 68. Elaan of Troyius - Kirk was infatuated with Elaan of Elas, mainly due to the intoxicating effects of the chemical composition of Elann's tears. While Elann married the ruler of Troyius, Kirk gets over the intoxication by remembering that his first love is the Enterprise. 71. The Mark Of Gideon - Kirk is romancing Odona instead of interrogating her as to why the entire Enterprise crew has disappeared. Odona's purpose was to contact the potentially fatal disease Vegan Choriomengitis in order to reduce some of her planet's overpopulation. 74. Requiem For Methuselah - While visiting Holberg 917-G and investigating Flint, he has a romance with Rayna Kapec. Kirk soon discovers that Rayna was an android built to be the "perfect woman" by Flint, and when both Flint and Kirk fight over Rayna, she short-circuits, being unable to deal with the intensity of her emotions for both men. Kirk, later, is allowed to forget the pain associated with the incident with Spock's mindmelding help. 79. Turnabout Intruder - Dr. Janice Lester was another old relationship of Kirk's that was doomed to end because of Lester's domineering resentment of Kirk's superior capabilities as a starship Captain. Dr. Lester uses a device on Camus II to switch bodies with an unwilling Kirk. She later goes insane. Star Trek II - Dr. Carol Marcus was an old, serious romance of Kirks. He finds out that he had a son, David. This was an ralationship on Kirk's part, and his love for his ship and her love for her work would never allow them to be happy together. She continued on her scientific career. Star Trek IV - While on 20th century Earth, Kirk has a subdued, intellectual romance with Dr. Gillian Taylor, a cetacean biologist.

However, Kirk sees through Martia's deception, and Martia is later killed by the Klingons.

In that book, Dr. Edith Stone says, "How can I be sure? I'm a doctor, not a fortune-teller." Also, there was a 1933 film called "The Kennel Club Murder Case" starring William Powell as Philo Vance, who was a popular book/movie detective back then.

How many episodes? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ William Shatner - 79 TOS episodes Leonard Nimoy - 79 TOS episodes +1 in "The Cage" +2 in TNG's "Unification" DeForest Kelley - 74 TOS episodes +1 in TNG's "Encounter At Farpoint" Nichelle Nichols - 65 TOS episodes James Doohan - 61 TOS episodes +1 in TNG's "Relics" George Takei - 47 TOS episodes Walter Koenig - 33 TOS episodes Majel Barret - __ TOS Episodes +1 in "The Cage" [See also TNG List of Lists] Birthdays ~~~~~~~~~ January 20, 1920 - DeForest Kelley February 23, 1935 - Majel Barrett March 3, 1920 - James Doohan 22, 1931 - William Shatner 26, 1931 - Leonard Nimoy April 1 - Grace Lee Whitney 20, 1939 - George Takei August 12 - Jane Wyatt 19, 1938 - Diana Muldaur 19, 1921 - Gene Roddenberry September 14, 1938 - Walter Koenig October 15 - Mark Lenard December 28, 1936 - Nichelle Nichols Did you know... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...Nichelle Nichols was planning to leave Star Trek at the end of the first season, but was persuaded to stay by Martin Luther King, Jr.? ...The Enterprise model is 11 feet in length, and weighs 200 pounds. The model is composed of plastic, wood, and rolled steel. The cost of materials, in 1964 dollars, was $600. The original designer of the ship is Walter "Matt" Jeffries, who based the ship's registry number, NCC-1701, on his 1935 Waco airplane (and whom the term "Jeffries Tubes" was invented for). After the series, the model was donated to the Smithsonian in 1974, and was restored due to the appearance of cracking paint, stress cracks, and failures in the lighting system. A "streaking effect" has been added to make a "weathered" look, but the paint has changed the model color from gray to green. The restoration process took six weeks. ...That "Assignment: Earth" was originally a pilot for another series that Gene Roddenberry proposed but never got off the ground? ...That Majel Barrett's real name is Majel Leigh Hudec. The name change was in order to hire her as Christine Chapel. ...That "Plato's Stepchildren" was the first episode in television history to feature an interracial kiss? ...In "Assignment: Earth", Spock, upon reviewing 1968 Earth history, says that "There will be an important assassination today." A few days after this episode originally aired, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed. ...How the transporter effect was filmed: * Sprinkle glitter against a black background and shine a light through it. Film it. * Film the scene, first with the actor, then without (or vice versa) * Matte the glitter over the actor, and double-expose the film ...the title of "Bread and Cirsuses" comes from Juvenal, a Roman satirist of the first century AD, who wrote, "The people that once bestowed commands, consulships, legions, and all else, now concerns itself no more, and longs eagerly for just two things -- bread and circuses!" [ref The Best of Trek #13, p. 134] In-Jokes ~~~~~~~~ 1. "The Man Trap" - Sulu says a line written by Gene Roddenberry, "May the Great Bird of the Galaxy roost on our planet". After this reference was filmed, Gene Roddenberry got the nickname of the Great Bird. 44. "The Trouble With Tribbles" - The writer, David Gerrold, came up with the idea independent of Heinlein. When Desilu or NBC discovered the crossover, Gene and David called up Heinlein, who simply laughed it off, then said to go ahead and use it. 53. "The Ultimate Computer" - The term "human engrams" may possibly come from a L. Ron Hubbard novel. Shakespeare ~~~~~~~~~~~ William Shatner was trained as Shakespearean actors. The problem with Shatner's acting is that he apparently has never made the transition in style from stage acting to television acting. His overacting and wild motions work fine on stage, just not as well on a TV set where the camera picks up every move much better. Patrick Stewart had the same problem during the first season, as I remember. William Shatner holds Sir Laurence Olivier as his favorite performer because of the late actor's technical skill and ability to project emotion. Olivier continues to be revered as the greatest modern Shakespearean actor. Anyways, there have been many references to Shakespeare on the original series, either though episode titles or through quotations by the characters. The key is that the title and reference are in quotations. The 2.1.39 means Act 2, Scene 1, Line 39. 9. "Dagger of the Mind" - This line is referenced in "Macbeth 2.1.39", and can be best sumarized in "Macbeth 2.1.34-50". 13. "The Conscience of the King" - This line is referenced in "Hamlet 2.2.606", and can be best sumarized in "Hamlet 2.2.589-606". This episode is based largely on _Hamlet_. The basic plot is similar, and there are many plot devices that are duplicated in the episode from the play, such as the troupe of actors. Additionally, many of Shakespeare's characters find analogs in Star Trek. Here is a list of crossovers: Hamlet -> Kirk, Claudius -> Karidian (Kodos), Ophelia -> Lenore, and Ghost of Hamlet's Father -> Tom Leighton This episode also contains several themes lifted from Macbeth, as one would expect since the episode opens with a scene from an "Arcturian Macbeth." The analogs seem to be: Macbeth -> Karidian, Lady Macbeth -> Lenore, and Macduff -> Kirk Toward the end of the episode, the Karidian Company of Actors performs Hamlet. Karidian, playing Hamlet's father, speaks the lines from "Hamlet 1.5.10-24", but, unforunately, omits several lines. Later, Lenore quotes the Soothsayer in "Julius Caesar 1.2.18&23": "Caesar, beware the Ides of March", and then paraphrases Fortinbras from "Hamlet 5.2.36-63" 51. "By Any Other Name" - Kirk says as he holds out a rose-like flower and says, "As the Earth poet Shakespeare wrote, `That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.'" This line comes from "Romeo and Juliet 2.2.43-44" 68. "Elaan of Troyius" - The plot for this episode was taken from _The Taming of the Shrew_. As with "The Conscience of the King," some of Shakespeare's characters find analogs within the episode: Petruchio -> Kirk, and Katherine -> Elaan 69. "Whom Gods Destroy" - Martha quotes Shakespeare's eighteenth sonnet, which Garth replies, "You wrote that?". This was probably an allusion to the Elizabethan practice of rewriting pre-existing poems and stories, using huge amounts of the same text. (It was considered bad writing not to.) 78. "All Our Yesterdays" - This title comes from "Macbeth 5.5.22", with surrounding text from "Macbeth 5.5.17-28". Operation SNAFU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [It is currently impossible for me to verify these SNAFUs, since my local station in the area hasn't shown TOS for over 4 years] The number by each episode is airing order of each episode. 2. "Charlie X" - Kirk enters a turbolift with the boy Charlie, en route to the bridge, wearing his usual uniform shirt with the badge on the left breast. When they emerge from the lift, Kirk is wearing his yellow-green wrap-around shirt with the badge down near the waist. Yet for the rest of the show (after the bridge scene and some shirtless scenes in the Enterprise gymnasium) he retains his usual shirt. (UV) Also, after Kirk talks with the chef, he is seen in a closeup, but the image is reversed (look at the hair part). (UV) Then, Charlie is on McCoy's examination table, actively peddling. We switch to a camera view of the indicator panel, where a reflection of Charlie is shown, with Charlie motionless. The camera then cuts back to Charlie, who is fully active. Then, back to the panel, where shows Charlie's reflection motionless, and then back to Charlie. (UV) 4. "The Naked Time" - After Nurse Chapel infects spock with "the disease", Spock goes into the conference room to get control of his emotions. The doorplate on this room is on the LEFT side of the door. After Kirk enters, a bit of dramatics, Spock leaves, then Kirk leaves, we see that the doorplate has moved to the RIGHT side of the door. (UV) 5. "The Enemy Within" - When he's on the planet, Kirk's gold shirt has the usual emblem on. When he beams back aboard, the emblem is missing. He swoons, and Scotty helps him out of the transporter room. After the break, we see Scotty and Kirk in the corridor, and the emblem is back. (The order of these may be reversed, but the emblem definitely "winks" in and out.) (UV) Strange clothing changes. (UV) Bad-Kirk's scratch on his face switches sides. (UV) When Bad-Kirk demands brandy from McCoy, the closeup show shows him with the Good-Kirk uniform (UV) When Good-Kirk is holding bad Kirk on the transpoter pad, his hands are touching. Then he talks to Spock and his hands are apart. After that, a longshot shows his hands touching again. (UV) When Bad-Kirk demands brandy from McCoy, the closeup show shows him with the Good-Kirk uniform. (UV) 6. "Mudd's Women" - When the women are first beamed up to the Enterprise, it flashes back and forth between the women and Scott, Spock, and McCoy. If you watch it carefully, you will see that they spliced in a scene of McCoy standing in sick bay smiling, and he is wearing a different uniform and has the medical scanner behind him. 7. "What Are Little Girls Made Of" - Strange clothing changes. (UV) 11. "The Menagerie" - The ONLY door handle seen in a Federation setting (ship or starbase, etc.) was on the door to Christopher Pike's quarters, which was kind of ironic, since he's about the only person who COULDN'T use a door handle! (V) Also, during the trial, every senior officer, including McCoy, is wearing dress uniforms, except for Scott, who is wearing his regular uniform. (UV) 15. "Shore Leave" - As you watch the Kirk/Finnegan fight, ask yourself when Kirk's tunic gets ripped. You'll notice that just before we fade to a commercial, the camera is on Kirk, who is down and out, and his tunic is perfectly whole. Camera cuts to Finnegan, who is standing over Kirk, gloating. The camera cuts back to Kirk, whose tunic is ripped to shreds, and we fade to a commercial. (UV) Maybe Kirk is Jewish, and rents his garment in anguish.... Also, when Spock is beaming down, Sulu says, "Look, someone is beaming down from the bridge." How could they determine that someone was beaming down from the bridge, never mind that it wasn't possible in TOS times. (UV) The yeoman gets her uniform torn by Don Juan, and then changes into the 'princess' costume. When she changes back into her uniform again, it has miraculously been repaired. (UV) Spock and Kirk are discussing the tiger that was seen and it appears. BUT it clearly has a chain around its neck and when it gets up, the chain is clearly seen to extend toward the ground. (UV) In the scene where the caretaker appears for the first time, you can see the shadow of a boom pass across the tree in the middle of the screen. (UV) 16. "The Galileo Seven" - After Boma leaves to prepare for one of the burials, the camera stays on the shuttlecraft door as it closes. A propman's hand is very visible on the lower part of the door, guiding it into place. (UV) 17. "The Squire Of Gothos" - Trelane sees Earth's history about 900 years late, and talks about Alexander's Hamilton's death (July 12, 1804), and how he had admired Napoleon (who reigned from November 9, 1799-April 11, 1814; March 20-June 18, 1815). This places the episode at around the 2700's, about a few hundred years after when TNG is stated to occur. (UV) 18. "Arena" - When Kirk and Spock are taking cover, at the beginning, behind a destroyed section of wall, every time Kirk leans against the wall, it moves as if it's a styrofoam prop. (UV) 19. "Tomorrow is Yesterday" - First off, Kirk says that the "United Earth Space Probe Agency" was the authority behind the Enterprise. Next, when Kirk and Sulu hand their belts to the security guard, the antenna grids were hanging open, yet the communicators didn't hail the Enterprise. A few seconds later, when the guard asked about the communicators, the antenna grids were closed. In addition, the Lieutenant Colonel who questioned Kirk was violating regulations by wearing his Wheel Hat indoors. The Berets on the guards, on the other hand, may have been ok. It seems to me that they are allowed indoors. Then, when they were just getting ready to beam Christopher back to his jet, he trotted down to the transporter console and hit the communicator switch. He sure learns fast, huh? The worst problem in this episode, of course, is toward the end. The entire scenario of returning Christopher to his aircraft by beaming him into his own body is not acceptable. It certainly is possible that Christopher was beamed back into the aircraft at the same instant that the earlier version of the Enterprse beamed him out. This could explain the visual effect. However next he indicated that the UFO had disappeared and that he was returning to base. The tractor SHOULD have remained on from the earlier Enterprise, and the Christopher who was returned to the plane should have gone down with the destryed aircraft--presumably bailing out and descending on parachute in such a way that the Enterprise sensors did not notice. Also, Christopher should have landed on the ground with the full memory of what had happened to him on the Enterprise, but hopefully he was ethical enough to not do anything with his kowledge that would change the future. One last thing: In the closing credits, Captain Christopher is listed as a Major. On the other hand, this episode, first broadcast in the U.S. on January 26, 1967, correctly indicated that Apollo 11 would be launched on a Wednesday (July 16, 1969, 9:32 A.M., EDT.) Also, the Starfleet uniform given to Captain Christopher had Lieutenant's braid on the sleeve. Oddly enough, this was correct. An Air Force Captain is equivalent to a Navy Lieutenant, and Starfleet follows Navy rank. 20. "Court Martial" - Kirk says "Gentlemen, this computer has an auditory sensor. It can, in effect, hear sounds. By installing a booster we can increase that capability on the order of one to the fourth power." Hmmmm, either the writers or William Shatner seemed to think that it sound more impressive than just plain old "one". And, I guess we have to assume that both the voices and the other ship noises were masked out just like those heartbeats. (UV) Also, at the end when Kirk is fighting Finney, Kirk's shirt is ripped at his right shoulder but his stunt double's shirt is obviously undamaged in that area. (UV) 21. "Return of the Archons" - When the landing party is hemmed in by Landru's legions at both ends of an alley, Kirk orders them to fire (on stun). McCoy's phaser appears not to fire at all. I suppose animation forgot to do the effect. (UV) When Kirk's landing party starts running from the festival, a quick shot shows a rock BOUNCING off the head of one of the landing party members and up into the air. Now THAT'S a thick head! (UV) When the landing party arrive at the hotel, it is daylight. Kirk talks a few minutes and then the landing party is escorted to their room. The owner opens a window and it is now pitch black outside. This planet might have a short day/night cycle, but their clock system seemed to be pretty close to that of the Earth's. (UV) 22. "Space Seed" - As Kirk is bashing in Khan's glass coffin, his phaser falls off his belt. McCoy keeps looking down at it, like he's wondering when they're going to yell 'cut' so they can re-shoot the scene. They never did re-shoot because they didn't want to invest in more glass. (V) During the hearing at the end, when Kirk rings the ship's bell, watch McCoy closely. He has a strained, silly grin on his face, as if DeForest Kelley is desperately trying to keep from bursting out laughing. As Kirk finishes the last ring, McCoy sighs, as if in relief, and assumes a more appropriate expression. (UV) 28. "The City On The Edge Of Forever" - Clark Gable's first film was made in 1930, at which time he was hardly a major star, and it would hardly have seemed strange that Kirk and McCoy might not have heard of him. "Good Night, Sweetheart" wasn't written until 1931. Also, Kirk mentions Orion's belt and points to it in the sky. Orion should not be visible in the night sky at that time of year (according to a calendar shown on a wall). Also, in the panning shot of the city where a bunch of brick buildings are shown, there is a radiation trident on a sign on a wall, which normally signifies a fallout shelter. Fallout shelters shouldn't exist for *years*. 30. "Amok Time" - At the marriage ceremony, as Spock is going up to hit the gong, we get two shots of this happening. In the first shot, from the view of T'Pau, Spock starts moving toward the gong and then on the right we see T'Pring start moving to issue the Kah-if-farr. Then, there is a cut looking at the face of T'Pring, who in this scene is standing still. After a second, T'Pring starts to move forward to issue the challenge. Nothing too bad but I have to look at something. Yeah, that scene has several well-known continuity errors. The most graphic one is a long shot of the set during Kirk's talk with T'Pau, where we see Nimoy leaning against a wall when, continuity-wise, Spock is supposedly kneeling, deep in "plak tow." It's also easy to see stage lights in a couple of scenes. (UV) Plus, when Spock goes to bang that gong, it rings before it's hit. (UV) Also, T'Pau speaks to everyone else in Elizabethan/Shakespearean/King James English -- to a point of using "thee" and "thy". However, she never uses "thou", but, incorrectly uses thee. Spock even uses this incorrectly in one instance. 33. "Mirror, Mirror" - In the beginning of the episode, Kirks calls up the Enterprise, requests beam up, and puts the communicator back on his belt. During the partial materialization on the transporter room, the communicator is in Kirk's hand with the antenna grid fully open. Then, when the landing party materializes fully in the mirror universe, the communicator is back on Kirk's belt. (UV) 34. "The Apple" - Near the end of the show, when the Big-E fails to break free of the tractor beam, Scotty falls against the captain's chair and one of the floorboards comes up off the floor. (UV) 35. "The Doomsday Machine" - There is at least one side shot of the device where the stars can be seen through the far side of the maw. (UV) Also, Scotty loses his brogue for one line. (UV) Also, while the Constellation is being flown into the doomsday machine, the model looks as if it was bumped. (UV) 42. "Obsession" - When Captain Kirk fights an ensign for the right to remain on the planet, Kirk tosses the ensign against a very solid rock. However, when that ensign is tossed against that same rock for a second time, that rock is not so solid and rolls slightly in the manner of a piece of plastic painted to look like a rock. (UV) 46. "A Piece of the Action" - When Kirk, Spock, and McCoy first beam down to the planet, a long shot shows the three of them approaching a bench. Kirk puts him hand on the bench and McCoy is behind him. A closer shot follows that shows McCoy standing behind the bench and then Kirk walks into the shot, behind McCoy, and then arrives at the bench. (UV) 48. "A Private Little War" - In the closing credits, the Mugato is listed in the closing credits as Gumato. (Let's just call the whole things off...) 50. "Patterns of Force" - After Kirk and Spock enter the Zeon hideaway, Spock repairs a communicator which was disassembled by the Ekosians. As he tries to test it, he gives the wrist flip, but the antenna grid doesn't open. Spock glances down and opens it by hand. (UV) 51. "By Any Other Name" - In one scene Spock was talking with out moving his lips. It occurs when Spock and the Kelvin Rojan are playing chess and they are discussing Rojan's response to Kirk kissing the Kelvin woman Kelinda. Initially we see the two characters playing chess and talking, but the view then switches to close ups of each person's face as they talk. When Spock says the line "Captain Kirk seems find her quite attractive" he looks as if he is thinking about something, but does not say anything. Must be telepathy. :-) (UV) 52. "The Omega Glory" - Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are seated and bound, speculating that the Yangs are Yankees and Cohms are Communists. When the camera is on the three of them, Kirk's hair is parted one way, yet, when there is a close-up shot of Kirk, his hair is parted another way. (UV) 53. "The Ultimate Computer" - Spock and Scotty are in the Jefferies tube and Kirk and the scientist are below looking at what they are doing. Kirk is restraining the scientist. From the top view, Kirk is holding him by his arm. The shot from the floor shows Kirk's arm around his head. (UV) 55. "Assignment: Earth" - Kirk (in the briefing room) has Scotty on the tabletop viewscreen. Scotty (in Engineering) gives Kirk a report. Kirk ends the transmission with Kirk out and reaches to turn off the viewscreen but the viewscreen turns off before Kirk switches it off. AI at its finest, eh? (UV) 58. "The Paradise Syndrome" - The first time Kirk enters the temple he falls in through a (supposed) unseend trapdoor. However at the end when he manages to re-open the temple the entrance is clearly shown as a large raised sliding door, implying Kirk could not possibly have fallen in the first time. (UV) Also when Spock orders a full power phasor strike on the asteroid Scotty can be heard to say "Oh me bearings". (UV) 59. "And the Children Shall Lead" - At the end of the episode Kirk gives the order 'Set course for Starbase 4', yet he mentions a little earlier that the security detail was still on the planet Triacus. (UV) 60. "Is There In Truth No Beauty?" - At the beginning of the episode, it is established that humans, even with the red visor, would go mad if they saw the ambassador being transported aboard. However, at the end of the episode, Kirk watches the ambassador being beamed out without the visor. Kirk should have gone mad at this point. [This could explain a lot about what happened during the third season...] 62. "Day Of The Dove" - There is a prop that is grey, and looks like a grey hydrant coming out of the wall approximately 18 inches from the floor. During the big sword fight, we see them fighting by this "hydrant", cut to another scene, then cut back to see this "hydrant" knocked over. 64. "The Tholian Web" - When Chekov goes mad and screams, his mouth doesn't move. (UV) 73. "The Lights Of Zetar" - Kirk has Romaine put into the pressure chamber in sick bay, and has the pressure increased by one atmosphere per second. At that rate, she would have been crushed like a bug in a minute. (UV) 75. "The Way to Eden" - Although not an actual snafu, Adam's hand twitches after he was "dead". However, many muscular spasms do occur after death. (UV) Also, there is a short bit where the film is backwards, and Kirk's insignia appears on the wrong side of the shirt. (UV) 76. "The Cloud Minders" - When Kirk and Spock are first captured by the miners, Kirk says something like, "What's the meaning of this?", but his mouth doesn't move. (UV) 78. "All Our Yesterdays" - Spock claims that his planet is "millions of light years from here". This is unusual, since the galaxy is only 100,000 light years across. (UV) There's also the comment from the policeman who says he heard Kirk speaking with spirits, and heard him call one of them "Bones". The only time that Kirk used the name "Bones", the policemen were away getting reinforcements. (UV) 79. "Turnabout Intruder" - In this episode, "the death penalty has been forbidden. There's only one exception: General Order 4." However, in "The Menagerie", "General Order 7" is the directive not to travel to Talos IV, and states, "The only death penalty left on the books." - Hmmmm.... In "Balance of Terror", Spock says that something called "cast rodinium" is the hardest substance known to Federation science, and yet, was pulverized by the Romulan weapon. Yet, in "The Doomsday Machine", Spock says that there is no known way of blasting through solid neutronium. In "Arena", diamonds are "the hardest known substance", but in "Obsession", a rock substance is "twenty times as hard as diamonds. (V) Where's Scotty's Finger? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ James Doohan is missing the middle finger of his right hand. During World War II, he served in the Royal Canadian Artillery (not the air force, although he flew - like a maniac - often) for six years and two months and lead the fifth Landing Craft Assault. He was on the ground when his middle finger caught three bullets; the head wound and other wounds did no damage. He then became a flight instructor before leaving the military in October of 1945. If you look at his hand, you'll see a faint red streak, indicating the entire metacarpal bone was surgically removed. Usually, if Scotty's hands were called for in a script to operate the transporter, we cut to a shot of someone else's hands. Usually, we'll see Scotty's hands behind some object or side on. However, here are some scenes where the missing finger is visible: "The Enemy Inside" - When Scotty reaches into the cage in order to get the bad god-like, you can see his missing finger. 34. "The Apple" - Scotty's clenched fist. (UV) 44. "The Trouble With Tribbles" - After Kirk notices what he got for his chicken sandwich and coffee, Scotty walks in carrying a whole bundle of tribbles. The missing finger is clearly noticeable. (V) "Star Trek IV" - When McCoy hands Scotty the mouse in Dr. Nichols' office, Scotty lack of digitude is noticeable for a second. (UV) "Star Trek V" - When Uhura tosses Scotty the bag of food, the missing finger is noticeable. TNG "Relics" - Scotty's missing finger can be noticed a few times, notably in Ten-Forward and on the original Enterprise in the Holodeck.

Syndication Notes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ United States -===========- The Sci-Fi Channel has purchased the rights to air the series on cable. It is rarely seen in local syndication. The entire animated series is available on Paramount Home Video. Germany -=====- While the original length of the episodes was about 25 minutes, they were cut down to 15-18 minutes in Germany to fit into the children's program slots. They were aired by the ZDF in 1976, but some of them were left out without any given reasons. Here are the episodes, that were aired, with the re-translated titles: "Yesteryear" -> "The Deception" "One Of Our Planets Is Missing" -> "A Planet Is Saved" "The Lorelei Signal" -> "Planet Of Amazone Women" "More Tribbles, More Troubles" -> "Invasion Of The Wool-Pugs" "The Survivor" -> "Beloved Spy" "The Infinite Vulcan" -> "Planet Of Giants" "Once Upon A Planet" -> "Vacation In Wonderland" "Mudd's Passion" -> "The Lovy Crystal" "The Terratin Incident" -> "Even Small Ones Have Often Begun Big" "Time Trap" -> "Klingons Deceitfulness" "The Ambergis Element" -> "The Creepy Water" "Beyond The Farthest Star" -> "No Flowers For Kirk" "The Eye Of The Beholder" -> "The Hunted Hunters" "The Pirates Of Orion" -> "Chase In Space" "Practical Joker" -> "The Laughing Monster" "How Sharper Than A Serpent's Tooth" -> "The Drowned World" "The Counter-Clock Incident" -> "Space Cosmetics" Shakespeare ~~~~~~~~~~~ "How Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth" - The episode title comes from "King Lear 1.4.285", with surrounding text from "King Lear 1.4.272-286" Did You Know... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...the episode "The Slaver Weapon" is an adaption of Larry Niven's "Known Space" story "The Soft Weapon". Spock replaced a Pierson's Puppeteer. Canonical Notes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ None of the information presented in the Animated series is considered canonical by Paramount in the Star Trek movies or TNG. In other words, everything that happened in TAS didn't happen. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Star Trek: The Motion Picture Movie Opened: December 7, 1979 Stardate: 7412.3 Additional Cast ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Starfleet -=======- Majel Barrett-Roddenberry - Doctor Christine Chapel Michelle Ameen Billy - Epsilon Monitoring Station Lieutenant Roger Aaron Brown - Epsilon Monitoring Station Technician Paula Crist - Crewman Steven Collins - Captain Willard Decker Gary Faga - Airlock Technician David Gatreaux - Commander Branch John D.

One of these sets was originally used in the TMP Klingon bridge. It was later used as the TWOK dilithium reactor room, TVH Klingon "lab" where Spock searched for the identity of the Probe's signal, and on TNG as backgrounds for various alien ships. ...The initial set construction was originally supposed to be for a new series that was going to be a flagship of a proposed Paramount 4th network titled "Star Trek: Phase II"? ...The recreation deck briefing consisted of mostly Star Trek fans. Word leaked out that they needed a lot of extras for a day of shooting, and many fans showed up, on word of mouth alone, for this day of shooting. A casting call was never issued. Operation SNAFU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * When the travel pod with Kirk and Scotty dock at the Enterprise they are at Cargo 5 (Look over the Door). But the Announcement says Cargo 6. * In one of the extra scenes in the normal P&S video release where Kirk leaves the airlock and goes after Spock, you can clearly see where the set ends and where a variety of girders and other construction materials start. * An external view of Kirk's travel pod in the space dock shows it passing between a spotlight that is illuminating the secondary hull. The spot illuminates the travel pod as it passes through it, but the travel pod doesn't cast a shadow on the Enterprise. * When Chekov gets his hand burned, Ilia goes up to help him. The camera cuts to Kirk with his back to the viewer, and Ilia is still sitting in her chair. Then, in the next shot, Ilia is seen leaving Chekov and going back to sit down. * Kirk leaves the Enterprise in one space suit, but retrieves the unconscious Spock in another one. * During the climactic scene outside of the Enterprise (inside of V'ger), Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are all wearing jackets with a colored band on the sleeve. Just after they re-enter the Enterprise and are back on the bridge, the colors on Spock's and McCoy's jackets are switched. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Movie Opened: June 4, 1982 Stardate: 8130.3 Additional Cast ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kirstie Alley - Lieutenant JG Saavik Bibi Besch - Doctor Carol Marcus Merritt Butrick - Doctor David Marcus Ike Eisenmann - Cadet Peter Preston Nicholas Guest - Cadet Paul Kent - Beach Joel Marstan - Crew Chief Ricardo Montalban - Khan Noonian Singh Judson Scott - Joachim (uncredited) Kevin Sullivan - March Russell Takaki - Madison John Vargas - Jedda Paul Winfield - Captain Clark Terrell John Winston - Communications Officer/Commander Kyle Did you know... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...that all of the actors who played Khan's men were, at the time, male Chippendale strippers? Operation SNAFU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Saavik refers to the Gamma Hydra system, and a few minutes later Klingon warships attack. In "The Deadly Years" from TOS we are told that the Gamma Hydra system borders on Romulan space. Either (1) the Klingons won it in a war or trade, (2) the system is where Klingon, Romulan, and Federation space intersect, (3) The Romulans allow Klingons to patrol their space, (4) the continuity people screwed up. * One of the best known SNAFU's is when Khan says to Chekov, "I never forget a face". "Space Seed" aired during the first season of Star Trek, and Chekov joined the crew during the second season. It was known before production started that this was an error, and yet, the powers that be did not want to leave out Walter Koenig. * When Kirk, McCoy, and Savik beam aboard Regula 1, Kirk orders phasers on stun. It appears that Kirk and Savik each have their respective phasers set correctly, as indicated by a single glowing light. McCoy, though, seems to have his set to kill, with all the lights blinking in sequence, through the cycle. I imagine this is the kill setting, as Capt. Terrell's phaser behaves similarly before he kills an unfortunate Genesis project scientist and finally himself. * The blood stain on Kirk's jacket is constantly changing. * Saavik mentions that visuals and tactical displays don't function in the Mutara Nebula. Sulu has a lot of difficulty locating and hitting the Reliant, but Spock's scanners are able to pinpoint the Reliant's impulse engines and get a clear reading of the Genesis Wave. Later, Chekov not only scores three direct hits on the Reliant, but he also knows the exact distance from Reliant before the Genesis device exploded (4000 km). * When Joachim, one of Khan's injured men, is injured and says, "Yours is the superior intellect", he then dies with his eyes open. However, when Khan hugs him, his eyes suddenly close. * Saavik says that "shields will be useless" in the nebula. However, the Enterprise enters Warp from inside the nebula....it should have been crushed since navigational deflectors are a type of shield. * Towards the end when the Enterprise and the Reliant have fought the Reliant is still in the Mutara Nebula. However, in the shot where we see the Reliant explode, it is in free space, and the nebula is nowhere to be seen.

Sikking - Captain Styles Paul Sorensen - Merchant Captain Carl Steven - Spock-Age 9 Grace Lee Whitney - Commander Janice Rand Operation SNAFU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * In "The Menagerie-Part One", Spock says "This is the Enterprise, 13 years ago". Yet, during Star Trek III, the Admiral says "There will be no refit of Enterprise...she's twenty years old." This would mean that most of TOS, the lost years, Star Trek I and II would have taken place within seven years. Also, Kirk specifically states that he had not seen Khan in fifteen years. Perhaps Starfleet was embarassed about the Genesis project and wanted to deny Kirk his ship. * When Chekov detects an intruder in Spock's quarters, the graphics used are that of a TOS style Constitution class ship, not that of a Movie style refit. Perhaps the Starfleet computer contractors screwed up and installed improper graphic files? * The apparent size of the Bird of Prey changes several times during the movie. At the beginning, it looks huge, but, at the end, it's smaller. * The Enterprise barely clears the space dock doors. No other space dock doors are shown, and the interior of the dock looks rather confining. However, the Excelsior, shown to be easily bigger than the Enterprise, somehow got out of the docking area without delay. <-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-> "The cast and crew of Star Trek wish to dedicate this film to the men and women of the spaceship Challenger, whose courageous spirit shall live to the 23rd century and beyond. . . ."

Zautcke, USMC - Marine Lieutenant Shakespeare ~~~~~~~~~~~ McCoy quotes the famous line, "Angels and ministers of grace, defend us!" from Hamlet 1.4.39. The entire passage is in "Hamlet 1.4.39-57". Did you know... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...In the scene where Uhura and Chekov are looking for the nuclear vessels, a woman passes by and says "Across the bay, in Alameda." The scene was originally written with no one responding, and the woman was just passing by, unaware of any shooting that was going on. They had to track her down to get her release on the film, and she just asked for a day's pay. ...Part of the reason whales were featured in this film was because both William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy are members of the "Save The Whales" organization. ...Kirk Thatcher is an independent record producer, television producer, and special effects/animatronics techie. That was his own hair and punk rock band playing on the bus during Star Trek IV. Operation SNAFU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * The Klingon bridge received a complete makeover between III and IV. * The Klingon transporter is shown to have 4 pads. However, in III, six Klingons were beamed down at once. (Maybe they hugged....) Also, according to the "Day of the Dove", Klingon transporters are silent. * In the dinner scene between Kirk and Gillian, the candle in the middle of the table is constantly changing position. * When Scotty is holding the mouse, his middle finger is missing. \|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\|/|\| Star Trek V: The Final Frontier Movie Opened: June 9, 1989 Stardate: 8454.1 - This movie take place almost immediately after Star Trek IV, when the Enterprise is undergoing repairs after a shakedown cruise. Additional Cast ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Harve Bennett - "Bob"/Starfleet Chief of Staff Cynthia Blaise - Young Amanda Todd Bryant - Captain Klaa Charles Cooper - Korrd Cynthia Gouw - Caichin Dar Beverly Hart - High Prestess Rex Holman - J'onn Laurence Luckinbill - Sybok George Murdock - God Imposter Bill Quinn - McCoy's Father Melanie Shatner - Yeoman Jonathan Simpson - Young Sarek Steve Susskind - Pitchman David Warner - St. John Talbolt Spice Williams - Vixis Did You Know... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...That the shuttlebay in Star Trek V is the repainted royal throne room from Eddie Murphy's "Coming To America." ...Industrial Light and Magic was unable to do the special effects work for Star Trek V because they were overloaded with the effects work for RCA/Columbia's "Ghostbusters II" and Paramount's "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." A stock shot from Star Trek IV was used in Star Trek V, and thus, ILM has to receive credit. Operation SNAFU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While many Star Trek fans consider the entire film to be a SNAFU, here are some specific mistakes.... * In the opening sequence, when Kirk falls off the cliff, Spock catches him before he crashes into the ground. Right after he's caught, take a close look at his shirt. One part of it is puffed out where wires are attached to keep Shatner from swaying back and forth. * The citizens of Nimbus III, "The Planet of Galactic Peace", were forbidden any weapons, yet General Koord carries a pistol, and the people in the bar have a gatling gun. * Starfleet Headquarters is in the same time zone as Yosemite. When Kirk, Spock and McCoy leave Yosemite, it's dark; yet, when they are aboard the Enterprise talking to "Bob" from Starfleet, it's daytime in the background. Maybe "Bob" uses a fake window, a la "Total Recall".... * If you watch the far side of the Galileo when it first lands in the hanger deck, you can see the feet of some stage hands rolling the shuttle into place just in front of the advancing fog. * When Kirk, Spock, and McCoy shoot up the access way aboard the Enterprise while escaping Sybok's men, watch the deck numbering. They pass by deck 52 twice (presumable bacause there are 52 cards in a playing deck). Also, the decks in turboshaft 3 are numbered one to seventy-eight. The Enterprise is only 71 meters in overall draft, which would give each deck just under one meter of height. * Where did Uhura find palm leaves in a desert? * When the Klingons fire on the Enterprise, it just had used the transporters so the shields must be down. Yet, there is not one mark on the ship to indicate a torpedo hit.

A scene in which a potential rescue plan is discussed with a Colonel West. 2. A scene in the torpedo tubes in which it is revealed that Klingons have no tear ducts. 3. The final scene in which the assassin is revealed to be Colonel West. TNG Sets ~~~~~~~~ * Look closely at the warp engines in Engineering. Straight out of TNG. * When Scotty is looking at the prints for the Enterprise, look behind him. There are the windows for the briefing room. This room was also redressed for the dining room, and, in reconstruction for TNG's fifth season, they damaged the wall. * Also, look at the presidents office. If you look closely where the view screen is located, you could swear, by the placement, that a certain bar seems to belong there also. Also, look at the windows and the entryway. The president's office is Ten-Forward. Shakespeare ~~~~~~~~~~~ The subtitle "The Undiscovered Country" comes from "Hamlet 3.1.80". In addition to the title of the movie, the following make further reference to Hamlet's soliloquy: First, when Chancellor Gorkon toast to "The Undiscovered Country", and then, with General Chang just before the photon torpedo hits his ship. Many have criticized the movie's use of "the undiscovered country" in applying it to the future rather than death. Yet change is death--the death of that which is familiar to us. Like Hamlet, Kirk asks himself, "To be or not to be." If the Federation allies itself with the Klingon Empire, it will be the death of the universe as he knows it. It could, in fact, be disastrous: "ills that we know not of" might await the Federation should peace be made. The undiscovered country could be too agonizing, so it is safer to cling to the "ills we have, [rather] than fly to others that we know not of." Of course, the undiscovered country may also be wonderful beyond description. That is the dilemma Hamlet faced, and it is also the dilemma which Kirk faces, though (like Hamlet) Kirk does not face this possibility for some time, preferring to cling to the familiar ills of war and hatred. As viewers, we are quite aware of just what lies in the undiscovered country Kirk was so afraid of. We have seen the next generation of explorers (even if they never explore anything). I find it amusing that the "ills we know not of" happen to be seen weekly as Star Trek: The Next Generation. Further Shakespeare references: As the Klingons leave the Enterprise, Chang says: - "Parting is such sweet sorrow." Romeo and Juliet 2.2.184 - "Have we not heard the chimes at midnight?" 2 Henry IV 3.2.212 [paraphrase] During the trial scene, Chang says: - "Let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings: Richard II 3.2.155-56 And during the final show-down, Chang says: - "Once more into the breach, dear friends." Henry V 3.1.1 - "There's a divinity that shapes our ends Rough-hew them how we will--" Hamlet 5.2.10-11 - "This above all: to thine own self be true." Hamlet 1.3.78 - "If you have tears, prepare to shed them now." Julius Caesar 3.2.168 - "How long will a man lie in space ere he rot?" Hamlet 5.1.163 [paraphrase] - "Our revels now are ended." The Tempest 3.1.148 - "Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles . . ." Hamlet 3.1.58-60 - "Hath not a Klingon hands, organs . . . affections, passions? Tickle us, do we not laugh? Prick us, do we not bleed? Wrong us, shall we not revenge?" Merchant of Venice 3.1.56-63 [paraphrase] - "I am constant as the northern star." Julius Caesar 3.1.60 - "The game's afoot." Henry V 3.1.32 - "Cry 'havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war." Julius Caesar 3.1.274 - "To be or not to be." Hamlet 3.1.57 It should be noted that General Chang, the Shakespeare-quoting Klingon from Star Trek VI, was played by Christopher Plummer. Plummer is an accomplished Shakespearean actor. He played Macbeth in a 1988 Broadway production of the play. Operation SNAFU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * When the Excelsior is hit by the subspace shock wave, Valtane is standing near Sulu at the captain's chair. The next few scenes show crewmembers being shaken about. One of the scenes shows Valtane at his station behind a few crewmembers. The next scene has Valtane next to Sulu again (walking back to his station, I believe). That's one heck of a shock wave. * In VI, Valeris flies the Enterprise-A out of dock under 1/4 impulse power, and it zooms out in 2 seconds. However, in III, that same sequence takes over 2 minutes for both the Enterprise and the Excelsior. * McCoy, at one point, had to shoot someone with a hypospray. While the hypo was designed to look like the original series hypo, McCoy used it backwards. * The time at the top of the viewscreen reads "01:18" (I don't recall seconds) when the photon torpedoes were fired at Kronos I. A short bit later, the screen read 01:38. It seems odd the sequence of the assassination took 20 minutes. Sure enough, an even shorter bit later, the time read 01:29. * Kirk and McCoy are arrested over two hours after Gorkon is assassinated (watch the clocks). However, it is implied that they beamed over immediately. They must've switched over to Klingon Daylight Time... * Kirk's trial begins at around 9 AM Federation time, goes past 11, 3, and 6 once, and then goes to around 11:30. That's over 14 hours....the trial was at a snail's pace. * When Kirk is recording the log entry that will be used against him in court, he says (re Klingons): "I can never forgive them for the death of my boy." Later, at the trial when it is played back it says "I have never been able to forgive them..." * During the interrogation sequence, a clock behind Scotty reads several minutes earlier than the previous shot. It's with his line, "Then we're dead." * The Federation President is told by Chancellor Azetbur that any attempt to rescue the prisoners will be considered an act of war. As she is saying this, the plans for Operation: Retrieve are just a few feet away from the President! * Deck labels indicate that the transporter room is on Deck 7, yet, when the officers discover the bodies of the conspirators, they're on Deck 8. * When Kirk and McCoy are on Rura Penthe, and that tall alien is definitely on about something, McCoy says, "He's definitely on about something, Jim." However, that piece of a dialog is captured on two shots, and, in the first half of the shot, McCoy's lips are not moving. (UV) * During the fight between Kirk and the Cameloid McCoy is knocked down, Kirk and creature are wrestling. in a Overhead shot you see them rooling towards McCoy feet...yet in the next frame (close up) they roll over his chest. (UV) * The cloaked bird of prey is defeated by a gas-seeking torpedo - Lt. Uhuru having suggested the use of "the equipment we're carrying to chart gaseous planetary anomolies". At the beginning of the film, it is the Excelsior which is carrying this equipment, not the Enterprise. In fact, the Enterprise is in space dock when Kirk et.al. first set off. This was explained by the producers as a mistake that wasn't caught until the movie was nearly released, and it was too late to fix it, so they just left it in, figuring that the nit-pickers could rationalize a way around the problem. * The Klingons on the bird of prey have purple blood, but the Klingon at the end has red blood, which is seen on the spike on his shoulder. It was later revealed in the video version that the assassin was Human in Klingon disguise. (V) * The closing credits have Uhura listed as "Uhuru". Oops, although Uhuru is the proper Swahili spelling for "Freedom". #=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#= Star Trek References in Other Media Since Star Trek is part of American culture, it's only natural that other shows have Star Trek references in them. Some of these references include.... Airplane! 2 (197?) -================- William Shatner has a small role in this film. When he looks into the viewer, he sees a fly-by of the Enterprise. Crimson Tide (1995) -=================- When Lt. Cmdr. Hunter talks to Vossler about fixing the radio, he uses the allegory of Captain Kirk about asking Scotty for more power...... Hunter: "You ever watch Star Trek?... Star Trek, you know, Star Trek, the USS Enterprise, the whole... All right, you remember when the Klingons were gonna to blow up the Enterprise and Captain Kirk calls down to Scotty, and says 'Scotty, I got to have more power.'" Vossler: "He need mo-mo-more warp speed." Hunter: "Warp speed, exactly, well, I'm Captain Kirk, you're Scotty, I need more power. I'm telling you, if you do not get this radio up, a billion people are gonna die. Now, it's all up to you. I know thats a shitty deal, but you've got it. Can you handle it? (Pause) Scotty?" Vossler: "Aye, Captain." Later.... Hunter: "Radio, Con. Mr. Vossler, this is Captain Kirk. I need warp speed on that radio." In Living Color -=============- The Wrath Of Ferrekhan - Minister Ferrekahn arrives, and accuses Kirk of racial indifference. - (Second Skit) The Running Man (1987) -====================- Apparently, one of the forms of entertainment that is banned in this futuristic film is Star Trek, as this piece of dialog indicates.... Mic: "Begin satellite coding sequence. Load up link code into transponder grid. Shunt power to main circuits. Mr. Spock, you have the con." Underground Tech: "Who is Mr. Spock?" Saturday Night Live -=================- - This parody has the crew of the Enterprise facing a fate worse than Klingons - NBC Executives that want to cancel Star Trek. William Shatner - In his most infamous scene, Willian Shatner shows up at a Star Trek convention, and ends up uttering his more infamous line, "Get A Life!" William Shatner - Later, in that samew show, the Enterprise is a theme restaurant, being inspected by Khan. (1992) - The various presidential candidates visit a Star Trek convention She-Wolf Of London -================- Beyond The Beyond - The main characters attend the 25th anniversary of the show "Beyond The Beyond", a very obvious (and insulting) spoof of "Star Trek". The episode was shot in 1991, the same year as Trek's 25th Anniversary. Tiny Toon Adventures -==================- A Quack In The Quarks - When you see the spaceship hanger, hit the freeze frame on your VCR. There are several recognizable ships, including the Enterprise. Cinemaniacs: Duck Trek - Title says it all. Plucky Duck plays Captain Kirk who goes visiting a planet in order to get a hair piece. Hollywood Plucky - In the restaurant scene, Plucky and Hampton are waiters, and one of the tables is seated Kirk, McCoy, and Spock.
