Yes, precisely, with Scott doing Spock's lines and Chekov doing Scott's. > Was the opening inset scene (shown in black and white) with Spock > dying in the chamber talking to Kirk *re-shot*? Not a frame, although I wouldn't discount the possibility that Nimoy decided to use some angles which were saved but not edited into ST2. > In "Menagerie", when Spock showed the footage of the Enterprise under > Pike, the "film" was stopped with someone exclaiming "No starship keeps > (kept?) such records!" Do they do so "now" (in ST3 time)? (Apparently) > I'm referring to Kirk's playback of the scene from ST2 in engineering. What was said in that episode was that no starship kept such DETAILED records. I think we can assume starships have continuously running recorders which normally record only the most abstract, high-level data about the starship's functions but kicks in much more detailed recordings when on alert. This would be what would go in the recorder-markers dispatched from time to time. -- "The more they overthink the plumbin', the easier 'tis to stop up the drain." Roger Noe ihnp4!ihlts!rjnoe
