a/k/a how engineers deal with management. :D

Guess we should have a right proper wake, even if he was Canadian!


RIP, Scotty.
 
He's dead Jim.

"There's nothing wrong with the bloody thing!"
"The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain."
"I may be a captain by rank, but I never wanted to be anything else but an engineer."

He was always my favorite.

I always had a bad feeling about that red shirt he always wore...

RIP Scotty.


Hmmm...good timing if you think about it. He did the deed on an official space day...

Some of my favorite Scotty'isms:

Drunk Alien - "What is it?"
Scotty - "Its, its greeeeen."
Which goes along with the picture someone posted above where Scotty is congratulating the bottle for helping him "subdue" the alien.

Scotty to Chekov - "Now driiiink your driiiink." while trying to keep the peace with Klingons at a bar in "The Trouble with Tribbles". Of course, all he!! breaks out after the Klingon insults the Enterprise to Scotty's face.

"I can'na change the laws of physics." in reference to restarting the fusion drive engines before the Enterprise crashes into the planet below.

Trouble with Tribbles. What a great episode that was. Written by a fan of the show, not one of the regular writers. Glad they saw the light and filmed it.

I also enjoyed the what I think were a Deep Space 9 episodes where:
  • they dubbed in scenes from Trouble with Tribbles.
  • they bring back all three Klingons from the original series as old guys for one last "glorious" battle.
Did anyone else recognize the 2nd officer in the "High and the Mighty"?

I liked the episode "Tomorrow is Yesterday", where they go back to 1966 and beam up the pilot of an F-104 Starfighter. I can still remember Spock calling it an In-TOR-cep-TOR. Pretty cool.

In that one weren't they going to keep him on board until they discovered his unconceived son was destined to go on to something important to the time line?

I think my favorite was the Harlan Ellison episode, City on the Edge of Forever, with Joan Collins as the femme fatale du jour.

Yes, that's the one. I think they had to "erase" his memory from the Enterprise.

I liked the Joan Collins episode also. After Kirk stops McCoy from saving her from being hit by a truck, Kirk says "Let's get the hell out of here". I think that's the first time I heard "hell" on TV.

Ken & Anthony, Both the episodes above are included in my short list of favorite episodes from the original series. Though I have to admit of the 70 or so original episodes the list of the ones I don't like is only about 2 or 3 titles long.

Captain Christopher was destined to father the commander of the first manned landing on another planet in our solar system.

{edit out the descriptions of several scenes from the two episodes}

I once heard that the episodes that involved reincarnations of Earth from the 60's were among the most popular. Another favorite of mine is "A Piece of the Action"...where Chicago style gangsters run the planet.

Ok, so I'm a Trek geek. :<)

How about the one where the Class M planet du jour mirrors the society of Nazi Germany.

Also "Gary Seven" wiht Robert Lansing and a very young Teri Garr. That seemed unlike any other Star Trek episode. Anybody know why?

Here's a neat link where you can look up episodes by season.

Yup For Sure! It amazing how fictional space craft engineers parallel current automotive engineers. I often overestimate because I'd rather my customer be pleasantly surprised when I'm early then ticked royal if I'm late.

Spock to Kirk "You make a very convincing NAZI."

The Gary Seven episode was supposed to launch a spin off that never got off the ground. Reportedly Garr did not like her Star Trek experience. She, of course, is off my Christmas card list.

And that's kind of ironic since William Shatner and Leanard Nimoy are both Jewish. But so was Col. Klink on Hogan's Heroes, so I guess a role is a role. :)

Trivia: What aviation related TV show was Robert Lansing in during the 60's? And you NEVER see re-runs of it.

What TV show had both Nimoy and Shatner together as guest stars prior to Star Trek?

I know they were both in episodes of the Twilight Zone but I don't remember if they were ever in the same episode.

Wasn't Nimoy a regular on "Mission Impossible"?

A lot of Star Trek original series actors were in Twlight Zone and Outer Limits episodes. The one actor that always comes to mind is the fellow that is in charge of the mining plane from the "The Devil in the Dark" Star Trek episode.

I remember an interview with the actor that played Klink, he said he made it his mission to make sure the Germans always looked like idiots.

"The Man from U.N.C.L.E." episode "The Project Strigas Affair". (IMHO it is a good episode. I've been watching the shows during daily exercises.)
They appear together in only one scene, which is on Youtube:
 
STTOS had some nice strafing passes in Shore Leave, along with Sulu shooting a vintage revolver.
 
Reading about favorite ST episodes (even a decade later) is kind of fun. As a kid I liked the ones with the guy w/ Pooh's voice.

Watching reruns I like the ones where they revist Earth. Tribbles was funny, and the one with Miri where adults were grups. And the one where Kirk is battling a foe on an isolated planet and discovers he has the ingredients to make gunpowder.

And every episode with a shuttlecraft. Talk about the ultimate aircraft.

I watched a show a while back about all the science fiction they had on ST and how amazing it was that much of it has become reality.
