Do you realize that not a single control or indicator on the entire ship was labeled? Okay, so the regular man at that post would know the controls, but how about someone filling in during an emergency? Not even the emergency type equipment was labeled! Everyone would have to know every single control on the ship!!! That, and the three slides on the transporter controls. Has anyone ever seen a show were all three were not slid together? Why not one slide control? (I know, they built the set with three.) So why not slide just one on an occasion. Actually, other than the controls, I never noticed any inconsistencies during the first runs. (That rules out the problems of not using second season technology in the first season.) In fact, the only other thing that bothered me was "Eden". I almost get embarrassed for G.R. each time I see it. I mean, just because SPOCK has ears... -- ------------------------------------------------------------ discalimer: If royalty were still in power, I'd be the King of Fools ...ihnp4!mgnetp!ll1!cej Llewellyn Jones ------------------------------------------------------------
