You’re right about Robert Duncan McNeil (Paris), Tuco. The funny thing is is that he got his job on Voyager because the producers wanted someone that reminded them of the cadet and it finally dawned on them to just get the same actor.
By the way, NCB… what I was asking you is that if the props were real salt shakers, just really funky ones like a novelty set or something… not if they were used as salt shakers anyway.
So, yes and no. It doesn’t say how much they were customized. I’ll bet you might have seen things similar to it if you shopping for novelty saltshakers in 1966.
As for the Hawking q: He asked to sit in the Captain’s chair. That led to the discussion of being in an episode.
Woohoo! I am vindicated!
don’t get cocky
I’m not… I just thought I was going crazy.
My fault. I said they designed for that ep. They were gathered for that ep. But, they were customized into something else, so I’m left wondering, too. I mean, how futuristic could they have possibly been? I think if someone had said “Pass the salt,” and one of these was handed over, we would view them as a saltshaker. We know now they are med scanners, but if Bones wasn’t using them, say it was Sulu or Riley, would we have inferred they were med instruments?
So many questions.
“Questions. Answers. Incept dates. Longevity projections.”
(Ooops. That wasn’t a Trek quote, now was it?)
Multi part question:
In 19(), while working as a (____), Gene Roddenberry sold his first Sci-Fi TV script titled () for the Chevron Theater with (__) in the starring role.
You may be pleasantly surprised.
More Gene stuff:
**Date of birth?
How many missions did he fly for the US Army Air Corps in WWII?
Postwar, what significant event occured during a Calcutta to Istanbul Pan American Airlines flight?**
Fine, I’ll just talk to myself…
Travis has a sister. Trip has a brother. Porthos had three littermates and Archer got him from his former girlfriend’s mom.
geeky me.
are you just remembering this ENT stuff? Or is there a place you’re referencing?
Not that I doubt your powers of recollection or anything.
Or are you really that much of a geek?
please be a geek, please be a geek, please be a geek
I Am All That. I am Viva The Geek. I clearly recall the trivial matters posted here as being true and accurate.
Startling, is it not?
Wow!
Using our threads against us…
Truly a woman to reckoned with.
So, whachya doin next weekend?
Par-taying with a bunch of English professors and martinis.*
The Martinis are wobbly small creatures from a planet in the Delta Quadrant. Some like to be shaken and others prefer to be stirred.
I’ve got my choice of either a chess tourney, or one of my ex girlfriends’ wedding shower. Not a personal shower. The kind of combined thingy for the couple that they do around here in the heartland.
Which one should I do? They are both on the same day.
I thought about losing early at the tourney, might not be by my choice (!), and then crashing the shower late, just in time to get in on a hearts game and see what liquor is left.
Or, I might just fly out to San Diego and see the Sea World hydrofoil. They still running that?
Okay, so I won’t be flying to San D. Still, what about the boat? Huh?
Looks like it’s down to just the three of us. Again. I’n’t that odd?
By the way… I don’t think I’ve ever said this to another Trekker, but jesus… you two make me feel like I know nothin’. It’s almost enough to make me drown my sorrows. Should I go with Chateau Picard or some Saurian Brandy?
It’s because this board is better than TV while I’m doing chores like laundry, cooking for the next couple of days, etc…
Just put on a CD and fire up The Dope™!
Try Romulan Ale, you bozo! Geez! I thought you were the Romulan Lov’n Kid!
:dubious:
I thought about it but I don’t want to be a one joke poster. 
I do have a recipe for it bookmarked somewhere though…
I’ve come across several in my years as a Trekkie, then Trekker. If you find it, post it.
I’m gonna try to get back to some trivia here, but I’ll have to do it a bit later. Got a call to go look at a house and I think I probably should, what with stuff being a little slow around here. Seems to be slowly picking up, though, so that’s good.
See ya 'round the galaxy.
One more thing…
Just wait till Dooku comes back. He said he’s got some real obscure trivia.
Whee!
Later
When you post more questions, make them not so brain-hurty. It’s been years since I’ve seriously studied Trek and most of my TOS trivia skills have atrophied.
Auf wiederschien.
Do the hydrofoil.
I wish I still had the recipe for Romulan ale. It was pretty good.
We could also make Midori slimeballs. Or Alien Secretion.
