They bought some salt shakers for filming the episode but did not use them. Those salt shakers would later be used as medical tricorders for the rest of the show. More recycling/reuse…The PADDs, or Personal Access Display Devices, used by various officers throughout the run of Star Trek have been made up of myriad materials - but in the original series they were as low-tech as could be. Rather than a working digital interface, the pads in TOS were composed of a small board covered with a Magic Slate. The slate had a 12-volt light placed over the front to give it a futuristic look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shatner was raging that they aired this first. They filmed "Where no man has gone before" first and it is far better. Shatner had a clause in his contract that said his name had to be at least 25% larger than Leonard Nimoys in the title sequence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but "where no man .." does not have the super cool transporter beam in that the producers loved unlike this one. Some trivial issue wins the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Merry Christmas There is less folk dieing in the Ukraine War everyday, than children under the age of 5 in Africa, or Asia. from lack of food and water. Billions of Dollers have been sent, for sure that Putin c**t needs a hook, but even half the money would have saved those life's. Merry Christmas to the West. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 A week late, but he did do a Christmas album too. Shatner Clause. Not a joke. Listen to his, er, rendition of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer - it'll blow your mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
