Hey! Got Talosians? I got me some. Three bags full, with two Talosians in each bag. They are solid plastic, with the right colors and surprisingly good detail. Just had to share with the group. ---

All of them, were. Roddenberry thought the dichotomy between the feminine features and the masculine voices would be groovy or somethin’. ---

Spock and Kirk discuss the miner’s phasers being unable to damage the Horta: > Spock:“The miners are armed with phaser I…we have Phaser II.” > Kirk:“Yes, phaser cutting phasers.” \*\* All right, **carnyplant** , I ordered the DVD of the _ST:TOS_ episode “Devil in the Dark” (which also came with “This Side of Paradise”) from [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com), **just** so that I could check out that line. I ordered it with next-day shipping, which was nearly as expensive as the DVD itself, I’ll have you know, **just** so that I could check out that line. It arrived on my doorstep today, and after all the TV shows I wanted to watch were over with and it would have otherwise been time for me to retire, I popped my shiny new DVD of “This Side of Paradise”/“Devil in the Dark” into my DVD player, and played the **entire episode** of “Devil in the Dark” **all the way through, just** so that I could check out that line. There were two places in the episode where Kirk and Spock made reference to “phaser 1” versus “phaser 2.” And neither place – in fact, **at no time during the entire episode** – did Kirk or Spock or anyone else mention _“phaser cutting phasers”_ !!! :mad: Pah. That’s the last time I take your word uncritically in an _Enterprise_ thread! :o ---

uh, yeah. It’s OOP. I’ll sell you my copy. only $39.95. 😃 :: **tracer** plays tape, only to find “extra” scene added that looks like action figures in front of a crayon drawn background. Spock eventually fights Skeletor and dies, but Optimus Prime saves him:: ---
