Which episodes start with someone other than Kirk giving a log entry? A) Mr. Scott delivers the log entry at the beginning of "Wink of an Eye"--Kirk and party are already on the planet investigating the distress signal. (RJNoe) B) Dr. McCoy gives the log entry at the start of "The Enterprise Incident"--This is done to give the viewers inside information as to Kirk's condition and not to blow his masquerade. (I cannot recall any that were given by Spock, Roger, if you think of any please post) 2. Which episodes end where all the credits are given with a background scene other than an external view of the Enterprise? (The beginning of the closing credits to be when the first credit appears on the screen. This is usually "Produced by" but was "Directed by" in some of the earlier episodes) A) The Corbomite Maneuver - on Balok's vessel, interior (linus!mat,RJNoe) B) The Galileo Seven - Enterprise bridge, everyone laughing (RJNoe) C) By Any Other Name - Briefing room, Rojan surrenders (RJNoe) 3. Which episodes end where half the credits are given as in the question above and the other half where the Enterprise is in the background? A) Mudd's Women (RJNoe) B) Court-martial (RJNoe) C) The Tholian Web (RJNoe) D) The Paradise Syndrome (RJNoe) E) The City on the Edge of Forever ? F) Balance of Terror (can anyone confirm this one?) 4. Name two episodes which share a common scene and describe the scene. A) Flint's residence in "Requiem for Methuselah" is the same artwork as the fortress on Rigel in "The Cage" (or, equivalently, "Menagerie"). It's your basic castle. There are other examples of similar mattes being used in more than one episode, but none closer than this distinctive example. (RJNoe) B) It seems that "Wolf in the Fold" has a scene which looks remarkably similar to a planet in "The Cage"/"The Menagerie", a matte scene with a geodisic dome in it. (inmet!jlp) C) I guess what I really was looking for was a scene with some action in it, not just a still "stock shot". One such scene (the only one which I caught so far) appears in The Doomsday Machine and Let That Be Your Last Battlefield. The scene is of some control panel (in the auxiliary control room in DM and on the bridge in LTBYLB) with a close-up on a row of toggle switches, all of which are in the same position. A hand (Scotty's in DM, Kirk's in LTBYLB) enters the picture from the upper right corner of the screen an pushes the last toggle switch (the farthest one away from the viewer). I believe they used the same footage for both of these instances. I remember well the circumstances in DM but am a little shaky on LTBYLB. In DM Scotty has rigged the engines of the Constellation to blow up. He comes to Kirk in Aux. control and Kirk asks him how to do it. Scotty engages the system (scene described above) and then tells Kirk "Press this button (pointing to the toggle at the other end of the row) and ...". In LTBYLB, Kirk pushes the button (scene described above) in an attempt to get some system to work after Beale has disrupted navigational control. More trivia coming up soon. OZZIE houxf!osborn
