I’ve seen all of them (now). I rewatched The Journey to Babel. I do like the ending.
Now I’m off to bed (soon).
I love the show and all, but I must say that the costumers SUCKED. Why are all the outfits for the women so damned odd? Amanda Sorek is wearing a nasty red/pink/orange number. I had mercifully forgotten the horror that was late 60s fashion, only to have it thrown in my face outside our solar system. Ugh.
I never looked at their clothes. 
:rolleyes: Can I let you off on a stray asteroid somewhere?
I’m an IT guy, not a fashion designer.
You forgot to say “Dammit, eleanorrigby.”
Dammit Eleanorrigby, I’m an IT guy, not a fashion designer!
Thanks, Thunder. One must, after all have some principles.
:dubious: Fascinating.
You ALL play an irritating game of chess. 
If I get home in a timely fashion tonight, I need another episode to watch. Again, I’m taking suggestions [del]from the peanut gallery[/del] from the floor.
Friday’s Child, wherein Scotty shows how cool he can be.
Ok, I’m game.
And wouldn’t you know, I was driving home and thought of another question for this thread and now I can’t remember it? My brain is like a sieve these days.
Off to watch FC.
The same reason military uniforms are brightly coloured shirts and the walls of the Enterprise are pink and purple. Colour TV was nifty.
Be glad Star Trek didn’t premier in 1976 rather than 1966.
What they did to the uniforms in 1979 was bad enough.
I know. I call that the intergalactic dental crew…
Friday’s Child was great. I love the interplay between Kirk, McCoy and Spock and watching Bones slap a very bitchy patient is always fun.*
Where are the Enterprise walls pink? They look gray to me (with touches of orange and red).
One thing that cracked me up: the big electric sign that flashes “condition alert” when they got to Red Alert. It’s so Airplane before Airplane!
And I remembered my question: what did the crew do on their time off? We’ve seen the “rec room” where they play chess and sing etc, but seriously–aside from the show Shore Leave and The Trouble With Tribbles, do we ever find out when and where they get R and R?
Also, do they get paid? Is their culture monetarily based?
*spare me the righteousness about violence to women–she deserved all that she got.
Were ya nae impressed by Scotty, then?
Uhura, at least, had some money to pay for the tribble.
Here and there. No one locale springs to mind, but I’ve been watching the remastered versions as of late and I’m sure the transporter room has purple walls. Aren’t the rec room’s walls pink.
There’s something so hospital about the way they filmed Enterprise interiors in the first movie, so I find the dental assistant look apropos.
They get shore leave from time to time. I’m sure it doesn’t go to hell every time, but Star Trek: Things Go Smooth would not get the ratings.
Oh, who knows at this point? Roddenberry said we’d moved beyond money, but that doesn’t explain how Starfleet members drink at Quark’s, how Sisko’s dad’s restaurant stays in business, or how McCoy was going to pay that mercenary to take him to the Genesis planet. It looks like money exists to me.
IMS, she got that Tribble due to the “gallantry” of Mr Mudd. He and the bartender were arguing about how many credits they should charge for the damned things, so perhaps they got rid of paper money and moved to an all credit economy of some sort.
Scotty, the wee bastirt, daes nae impress me hantle, muckin’ aboot thon bridge. He isnae teckle, boot he’s gae t’ belly fer it, och aye.
The bulkheads (walls) of the Enterprise appeared multiple colors because of the tight budget, they would use the same sets as different rooms and shine different color lights on the walls to make it seem as a different space. A cheap but very effective effect.
Dollars or credits, it’s still money. While Uhura may not have actually paid for the tribble, she certainly did offer to do so. Incidentally, the tribble-maker was named Cyrano Jones.
Is that a pun on Scotty beaming them over to the Klingon engine room, where they would be “no tribble at all”?
